So it took me a minute to create the "character" so to speak. I was actually going to make a Rafiki build; a character limited to staffs while using Leap, Leap Attack & Grim Ward as primary skills. Buuuut I thought that may be a bit too difficult. So I googled "characters that use a staff" and guess who came up as #1?... Gandalf, baby!! So that's the character that I'm revolving my build around. I'm big into fitness and so when I came across this picture, I knew what had to be done.



Introducing....GAINDALF!!

Once a staff drops, I'm all in.

Ya but what’s your max bench?

I don't believe in chest exercises. I focus strictly on my calves.

I love it

I’m a gym rat myself so you’re in good company.

Oh nice! If it's alright with you, DM me your workout. I love incorporating new lifts/circuits that people come up with into my workouts. Gotta "shock" the body, you know? One of the few perks of this whole quarantine is that I can lift anytime I want now in the gym I have set up in my garage since all of the gyms in my area have closed.

I have my wife’s set but it only goes up to 60lbs...

Dang.. only 9 more lbs and you would have been set. Lift your wife.. Once you get acclimated to her weight, feed her more. Problem solved, buddy!

Why didn’t I think of that. Thanks !

You guys crack me up!

Another interesting WT, good luck man, I'll be following!

Act III merc will be useful for norm and maybe NM, I'd say definitely consider A5 or A2 later down the road though, as your main attack is going to be single-target and you'll need more direct fire support

Regarding the fitness thing, not in to weights/gym etc but I'm quite the keen road cyclist. I'm 6'4 and about 75kg so perfect build for it! Got a beautiful Rapide road bike, all carbon Used to do 80+ miles a day. Then the drinking and smoking got out of control Thankfully that's on the mend these days and I'm slowly getting back in to it!
