Perma-colossus + Perma-outsider?

[blueruckus]

Has anyone attempted this? I think I'd soil myself if I saw a colossus and and outsider rallied together laying waste to everything. Sure It'd be a huge hit on the energy but might cool to use.

Definitely is possible to do. The Outsider part is even easier than Colossus.

Outsider has a well-known bug that 1/3 of its casts or so, it just stays out never fading.

bug or feature, that is how it works atm. my guess si that it's the skill description that is wrong because w/o it effecting all skills it's quite useless.

My current Earth/Defense runs perma Collossus now so it's definately possible to do . If you want to see me in action feel free to catch me on Xfire(hostage67) and I'll gladly take you through a typhon run on any difficulty you want. I can currently clear Legendary Olympus including all statues in roughly 3.5 minutes.

Oh and I should mention that I don't ever use Energy potions anymore lol. Build your character so that you can use an Onager axe and you'll never go back for a caster rofl. I do a little less damage by going this route but I can cast nonstop now and still have a hefty health regen modifier as well.

Gives her constant casting at no mana cost and she can summon Outsider again before he runs out.

I use most of that equipement. The reason I needed the strength was for a good shield and for a good weapon. High end shields ALWAYS require very high strength. And the two weapons I was interested in using also needed high strength requirements(Onager Axe and Promethis' Gift). The problem with using a staff is that my defender line then becomes mostly useless since it's all based on the shield.

Oh and I must say that my favorite weapon to use is the Onager axe. I take a pretty hefty damage penalty but I can cast nonstop now and pretty much never need a potion. Also with my equipment it's not a huge issue to spread out my stats since I really don't need the additional damage. Like I said above I clear out Olympus completely in about 3.5 minutes without using a single pot. I also have access to pretty much any armor to use if desired as well though I currently use a low lvl armor with 40 armor because of it's -25% recharge though I have been debating on which armor to replace it with.
