to be honnest with you i have never been a fan of hoz when u have spirit shield to use;

for example;

Sprit setups allow you to run tighter setups vs all;
  • Better Dr options,i.e you can use dungos or bb if on my Eunl and ofc like me i u can use 2skill/20fcr/life/2 sock helms or 2/20/2 helms for better as close to 44% pdr on standard bb setup up realm as default
  • Better res options as you can get upto 80 res vs all apart from fire which will be at 45%
  • More stack res ofc.
  • the fhr is also important this means you don't have to use 4x 12% fhr gc which cost 180 life before bo and that with using perfect 45 lifers ofc.
  • the added 35% fcr again helps for flexable setups
  • And all you lose now is 2+ combat skills that zaka has.
  • You also can now afford to use a better amu as its expensive to get a gg 2/20 + nice adds pala amu you can now use for example a 2pala/10fcr/dex/life/mana/all res amu and is affordable as well
Griffon is nice i use and carry in stash the boost it gives to foh really helps + the -res as well but with zaka setup ur 2 limited with setups as the aim is to get a flexable setup with minimal skill loss if possible as this build need all the skills it can get.

zaka imo is good for a 75% fcr setup but not good for 125% fcr its not customisable enough at 125% fcr without losing alot of + skills.

Btw ur Tienje rite this is Sichalo @ diabloii smile.gif


hoz also has increased block, and can be upped to a higher defense than spirit :x

Yeah but for about lets say around 3-5k defence increase and a few less block stats points you lose;

dr
flexiblity
stack res

imo its not a fair trade off at all

i actually looked at the excel calculation, that are to me really well done, and must have asked an hard work


if you get time to discuss about it, i would be glad to show you how it is possible to have more dmg in hammer, with same number of skills involved, than ur calculator does:
with the number of skills i can use in ur calculator, i get 7865 max hammer dmg.

with my way, i get actually 8.1k, which is quiet better, isnt?


but very nice guide anyway !
