TY :hug:

I have so much fun in Pub Cows. Laughing when people zoom in and steal drops, shenanigans, people underleveled, dying at red portal, getting mad etc. It feels like old 2000s D2 again.

This build strictly Cow running. So physical damage is where he dies (usually). And I'm wondering if it's universally agreed that Might >>> Anything else when onlyrunning Cows.


true I forgot this is Cows so phys dmg mitigation is more or less your only concern.
then just go with either Vgaze as Helm with a Forti, or if you don't you go Andy, with a PDR armor such as Leviathan or Shaft.
CoH gives dmg to demons and undeads... Cows are neither. This means also less DMG dealt than a Fortitude, and less PDR than Leviathan and Shaft, for some @all resists which... you pointed out yourself, is pointless in cows.
Are curses really such an issue you need that Cure ? For a build running in places where there is constant curses I could understand but here hmm. I will double down on the fact if your Merc leeches like a boss he won't care about Amp.
You could go defiance with high DMG like Forti/Andy. Will also be lest costly than a CoH and give you both survivability thru defense and offense.

Cool ty for tips. I'll keep my eyes peeled for further upgrades.

Might is nice elsewhere. But in cows with their huge density a pair of Silkweaves solves all your mana problems. You can have more mana leech or maek, but it really doesn’t matter for cows.

I’d rather use defiance just so my merc is less likely to die to the cows personally.

Does the might aura apply to the "splitted bolts" or only the original thrown javelin?

Cuz from what I read on AB it sounds like the split bolts are strictly lightning damage. And would benefit greatly from 2x Opalvein

Yes she's strictly for spicy PUB COWS so defiance has been a big QoL


This is correct


Ahh ty nice to know. Gotta get those rangs now
