Great Char sara.

this actually does sound very fun
i like hybrid trapper/kickers, usually make a dtail kicker myself

good point, if it cant do everything its not worth making i have much the same attitude and am disgusted by hammerdins overpoweredness in LoD, which lead to the development of frenzy barb

good explaination of upg goblins


personally dont play hc, i dont think connection issues are worth the potential loss
however i do build my sc chars to never die, so yeah, tgods + dwarf are in my favorites.

maybe mention an upg mosers? it has nice block mods that headhunters doesnt
some attack speed info could be pleasing

i'de like to see some more strategy sections like for uber trist and such

i dont see how this can compare to an orb sorc since you cant sweet spot bosses..
however you could cast orbs faster than an orb sorc with her 1s delay

I like it. Never saw this build before, but I would totally make it if I would still care about d2. I always wondered whether there is a use for Rift.

Things to mention:
- With Enigma + arach + suicide branch/wizzy in stash you can actually get 102 FCR and rush a little bit (or baalrun).
- No CtA makes for pretty low life. I would consider CtA + spirit to cast traps for increased life of you, the SM and merc. You lose 1 skill and 40 res though.
- For a shield, I would consider jmod with 3* 5/5 and 15/15. Way more expensive, but probably cooler and easier to get MB. Allows for Mara's as well.
- Thinking out loud: I would probably opt for mosers with 15/15 jewel and a cold facet. You lose 10/10, but you gain a skill and 45 res and max block. Bit more focused on traps then.
- Not playing in HC, I would use a BK as a second ring, as you need the skill and the LL is nice.

I agree that str is a bit much and the ctc is fairly low. I doubt one would see many ctc charges going off to make it worthwhile. The str would help your phy kick damage however.

I see the biggest drawback as being the missing facet +skill% boost you'd give up since this shield can only hold 1 socket.



If one heads to the beastiary
http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/

you'll find that the lower res in conjunction with the already present conviction yields a marginal damage boost when taking into account monsters inherent base resistances.


Sticky guide plz?

I just stumbled on rift since I started the ladder season... and put it on my kicker. I admit I never thought of using + cold gear in order to get the orb dmg up, granted my kicker wasn't going to be used for pvm... still props.

This

hi.

hey doll


what's one got to do to get a sticky around here?

pm sent ages ago.

There is no ctc kicker in the current guide section and this builds kicks ass. I am not exaggerating when I say this is the strongest pvm sin build one can make.
