thats what i thought, too bad cos i love the doom rw. ~~
anyway, how does this sound as a build?

CoA 31 dr
phoenix monarch
grief ba
fortitude
angelic amu
2 angelic rings
verdungo
draculs
gore riders

huge hitting power but low life and defense rating, i would miss 4% dr aswell.


Ok..let's talk about it.

You get a 400% ed ( 320 or 340 if you think to use a 40% ed or 30% ed jools in an alternative arreat รจ storm)

Also, you loose the Defence and the 35/25 Deflect of Storm..and this requires a huge waste of Dex.

Also you loose Str and Dex from Jools (that could be 30/9/9), and you dont take the max Dr Break Point ( 46% Instead of 50%)

And the 30 Str / Dex from arreat and the 30 Str from Storm..


You do all that for a 3xx % Ed more..but you loose too many other thing in my opinion..so i don't like that build..


Ok, for Draculs + Gores + Grief + Forty, they works fine together, but be sure your grief got the minimum % Ias for the Frames wink.gif

i know all that, but i wanted to squeeze it in somehow because i like the idea of a huge-damage-build.
i could swap fortitude for enigma and use phoenix to earn some stats and that extra 4% dr.

Not worth investing a lot of dex since phoenix sucks for block%. If you want huge hitting, then invest ALL STAT POINTS into strength. You would get about 4k griefz damage and only about 3k life.

No, it doesn't.

Also the story about Critical Strike of Baba/Ama deleted by Poison, is false.

The Poison Damage doesn't change any Cb, Ow, Ds or Critical, you can use it whenever you want! wink.gif
