Since my last char I made was your riftsin (which rocked), I have to give this one a try aswell.

i saw this guide a long time ago same premise differnt gear
forgot the weapon but was not brand which looks like it would make this build viable


i would also like ss of stats

how well does it do with multiple people in game? looks pretty solid for a fun build

I no longer have this character assembled. I originally posted this char back in october, and built it well before that. It was interest from CompanyofThree that pushed me to do a quick write up. Most of the items Ive since traded because I only play HC ptr now (this char was hcl)

here's my reference from the old post months ago

Here's the character , mostly stripped but as you can see it has the rather rare bow equipped still ( nobody ever makes this item anymore, much less on a base like this, then I named the char after it)

I think it had around 8-12K ar iirc, more then enough with conviction present and itd.. I used a bunch of Fine Sharp GCS. and a demonlimb.

I had a ctc necro around Oath the season before, that I posted a build for , this brand setup was much better. Higher damage and more saftey all around. Here's the other ctc build I did three years ago

Ty ty, I take all credit



I thought I was a decent/ good theorycrafter... you're making me look like a rando Sara
gfg shit, as always. I still have the outline you sent me in Octoberish of last year and this looks exactly like it.
I still think it would be cool to have a "Bone" armor in the stash are something to get a CTC bonearmor (goes with the CTC theme), but I know that's the only mod going for it when compared to other mods.
Love this character- most definatly making it when I find the weapon. Still have to make the riftsin too. My last sceptor got 3s >_<

It's a pretty fun char to play and you wont see another one ( well maybe now you might, but its unlikely) it has the unq thing going for it on style. I generally used coh on mine for that massive hunk of res I needed, the life leach, the general purpose +2 and blah blah blah, coh is just secksi stuff. Ive considered bone armor though , but in the end I didnt see it making much of a difference.



Bone armor, kinda handy, but with the plus gear, torch and anni, you get a better bone armor off one point then you do on the armor here and since its a pe req anyhow your not even saving any points. Being that Bearform lasts roughly 5 mins , you'll be reshifting regularly so recasting bone armor isnt a big deal. ( I usually reshift and bone armor after large packs as I'm walking to the next one)

level 10 bone spear ctc. 15% isnt to high, but its still a decent amount. Fully syngergised this yields 594-646 Given the fairly low proc rate and the 100% on your brand bow its not adding anything your not getting better elsewhere anyways. (would lower ctc overide the higher one potentially losing the level 18?)
+2 all > +2 necro
65 res> 30
8% dr> 7pdr
mana , your not casting anything that needs more mana then you have.
other coh mods like lifeleach >


One point I'd like to make is there is quite alot of spare points so you get some flexibility for sure. Dumping the remainder in raise skelly could potentially give you a commando mancer feel and some extra meatshields. Prebuffed with aokl they'd even tank halfway decent. I went 1 in vives since its cheap and easy. While I'm waiting in a baal run, I'll cast a few vives and reshift (hotkey this and use it often). I think maintaining kill speed in all section exp if your unshifted for pumping ce is worth it. I dont want to be noticeably slower unshifted as I am in bearform. As a bone ranger he's still pretty impressive, if you had access to chant you'd be doing some GG damage with those exploding arrows, 100% bone spears , phy damage thats carrying all that delicious Deadly and CB ontop of amp.

Beautiful.

Thanks Serdra

In the words of SSoG, if I am not mistaken?


Don't socket GS/HWS/Seraph Rod and maybe try WS/DS/Caduceus now, nuden ?_?
