There's a bunch of threads about gear or stats/skills. But can I get some pointers on the actual specifics of playing her?

I'm confused as to how she even works. It seems like if I charge up Fists of Fire, I'm adding fire dmg. If BOI, I'm adding cold. Visually these seem to stack - am I really doing multiple types of damage at the same time? Does that apply to the charge attacks or the finisher or both?

How many charges do I need to do? 3? Is more than that better? Should I be doing one of each? Right now I'm basically spamming whatever charge attacks and then dragon talon'ing. Sometimes I wipe the whole room out, sometimes I get mana burned down or my life leech isn't cutting it and I die. (Albeit, I need to round a little better gear, so that could be part of that.)

Can someone basically walk me through how you would approach a baal run for instance?
How you would approach ubers?

Thx

I don’t use fists of fire at all.

Get two stacks of Phoenix strike (the chain lightning hits hardest)

Get three stacks of claws of thunder

Get three stacks of blades of ice

Get three stacks of tiger strike

Get three stacks of cobra strike

Edit: Mana burn shouldn’t hurt you…it takes no mana to bust dragon talon

Edit: this will work for clearing the mini Ubers but isn’t ideal for uber meph

Don’t need to charge tiger either since it just gives you a bit more single target physical damage which doesn’t increase your clear speed any significant amount unless you don’t use a light sunder and you run into a light+ cold immune boss. Also lvl 2 cobra strike is enough and decreases your chance of leech overflow bug

You charge tiger strike because it keeps you alive and increases your life leech/mana leach.

That’s really cool about the overflow bug (well not cool-cool) but I never heard anything about that. Good to know

On one of the resets I made my mosaics with some regular blade talons (I wanted low reqs) and it worked a little bit. I had such low physical damage that my life leech was almost non existent. Tiger + cobra was even more essential with those slop claws

Hmm maybe your boot base is low dmg? I full heal off every kick with 0 tiger and lvl 2 cobra

Do i still want to max tiger strike as a synergy? Sorry, I meant Fists of Fire. Should i still max it without using it?

And you answered a question I didn't even ask about sunder - I was wondering why everyone talks about running with a sunder but I seemed like I was killing lite immunes just fine (albeit slower). It sounds like that's due to omitting FoF.



Right off the bat this explains probably most of my issue. I was running out, grabbing like a charge of each thing and then dragon talon'ing. Seems really obvious now that I've slowly read over all the specifics of each skill where it breaks down what bonuses happen with each extra charge. Idk, I guess I thought it capped so I had to be choosey.

Another question: what's your opinion on Fade? I see people mention not using it, but it feels like 1 point could be super useful.

Edit: i didn't realize it's burst of speed OR fade. hmmmmmm. Could switch on and off I guess. Probably prefer the speed from burst of speed.

imagine being too dumb to use one of the most braindead broken builds in the game

Imagine making a comment like this and thinking you're cool. Has zero to do with being dumb and everything to do with enjoying what makes this game so great - the intricacy. The subtle differences between using this or that skill or this or that gear set up. Also, this is literally THE place to be asking questions and having discussion. Don't like it? Don't read it.

Furthermore, look at the numbers on your account, dude. Go outside. Insults from you have no weight Lmao.
