If you read the guide, you'll see I only suggest max block on Sanctuary, and suggest hitting 50% on HHG which is comparable to Claw block.

Suprised it hasnt come up yet as it ALWAYS comes up , but I'm still waiting for the nab to come on saying "What about Enigma?!"  Skip it on this build. Coh has your res allowing bos,  Treachery gives you ias allowing fade.  Your either going bos or fade and enigma doesnt work well for either. This char is best at walking areas. If you want a teleporting boss hunter go make a character better suited for this. This aint your mf'er.

I'm trying this build out on softcore ladder USeast but I haven't found a shield yet worth running for this. Ill have to try and get the Headhunters Glory eventually. The 5/5 facets or whatever you suggested putting in it makes it sound like this is going to be the last expensive thing I'm going to need to add to this character.
I found a pretty nice 3os shield with +35 resists already built in so it sounds like a good sanctuary for me to try and build. EDIT: it's a pally shield nevermind...
The Nightwings also sounds like it might be an expensive buy for this build. What does one of those go for?

And roger, xfering my Enigma now for another armor. How much def should a GOOD treachery have? I might end up going with that until I can afford to make a COH...

Thanks a bunch!

If you cant find a hhg, and keep in mind those cold facets arent cheap , I'd suggest 2 facets in a mosers shield or shopping an ATOD and faceting that up.

Would this character be viable for pvp? And does venom apply to kicks? I am going to start building this char :)


This char as a riftsin would be pretty poor pvp. However because of the full 20 dtalon and syngergised traps you can hold your own in pubs. You can equip a standard pvp equipment kick setup and do pretty well at caster killing, or as good as most kickers do (they're not a top tier pvp class). I'd use something like lacerator for this paired with a SS. Your traps and kicks are fun combo though in the skilled duelers hand.

I made this character and guide for pvm hc. I've never tried dueling on this build and wouldnt suggest it as a hc viable pvp build. On sc it would be ok.

Venom does apply to kicks.



Tell us how it turned out for you. :cheers:

That was with bos.

Without bos

You need 45 EIAS. You get 10 from your weapon so 45-10 is 35 EIAS.

35*120/(120-35) = 50% IAS needed from gear.

Rift has fire damage on it, so it does deal all types. While it's not enough on its own, when you factor in conviction +the rate of attack on dtalon it's a nice hunk!

Adds 60-180 Fire Damage

avg= 120 x 6 kicks = 720 avg fire damage per kick cycle (if all connected, it wont) . Then conviction 720*.85 = 1332 fire damage in about a second.

avg of that is 205  X .85 (conviction) =  379.5 avg fire damage.    380X 6 kicks (a second!) 2275 dps (assuming every kick hits which it wont 95% is max )

nope, no immunes to this build, I accidentally used the magic damage instead of fire. I edited my post, but you copied before the edit.
