Hmm I could swear I saw a video of Kim using infinity swap to kill diablo quickly but can't find it. Or was that someone else?


This was 10 second kill with rare 4 40 and spirit shield about 60 skills invested.

I did mancatcher infinity after this too and it was like 8 to 9 seconds with 40 points invested

Mat spear is too slow without Faith merc. Highly recommend mancatcher if you want to try hybrid with spear.

Forgot to post yesterday but I started joining some random 8ppl games (cows are usually just the right length), while not as fast as Kim on his videos this feels very comfortable to play after getting used to it (I didn't really time the games with a stopwatch or anything but it takes me about 4-5 minutes from start to D kill while getting distracted with non-seal elites to get some full rejuvs, picking up and identifying stuff and generally not trying too hard to be fast). Next step would be to start crashing baalruns but might be a stretch for me and my lazy hands.
I'd love to try playing this build with gamepad for an even more chill and lazy approach, but that with the current UI would mean either not picking up items or having to open two rows in the inventory. Which is maybe not as bad as it sounds for casual play, actually?

So I took mine out for a whirl today and prepped chaos in p8 for the level 98 guy. Definitely struggled at some points , but I still need a magus tiara with some good jewels in it. Using a single socketed 30frw/20fcr/2 skills one for now.

In terms of skill points I maxed guided, enough multi to hit 24 arrows, 1 strafe 1 freezing arrow, about 15 hard points into critical to reach 70%, now where should the rest of my points go? Penetrate or valk? I’m using wiz and spirit to teleport then swap over to bow to fire. Wish I had a bit of knockback to keep mobs off me though.

Also am I the only weirdo who made a separate bowazon and javazon? My ocd is conflicted between wasting experience between two characters. and having to deal with respec and stashing and swapping gear each time to change builds.

Mist on you. Faith on merc. Or faith on you and eth reapers on merc. Don't recommend wf since she needs act 1 merc and they suck for hc I assume.

That's sweet! I don't try to go as fast as possible when I'm not recording too. Take my time enjoying ID stuff and pick up stuff haha

That's my go to skill spec for pure bowa. I usually pump some more on magic arrow to kill stone skin quicker and some more on dodge and Valkyrie's. No need to use points on penetrate
