Single mastery?

[wiwi]

Well, I meant the entire game (3 difficulty, including Hades acts plus the optional Hydra).

The best mastery may mean differently to each personal taste. In my case, I prefer it to be strong enough to pwn everything swiftly and with the least micromanagement. Other may argue, though.

heh, Bork has 12 deaths iirc, but she's been in the waiting room till some projects are finished.

Anyway, a Seer can oneshot probably almost all mobs in Normal and Epic, if Distortion Wave is maxed out with synergies. With Distort Reality, Legendary won't be too hard either. Stun them for 8.5 seconds or so, than blast through them. Also, there's Phantom Strike.

as i've said, any mastery can get the job done, in the end. but some can and will have a lot of trouble along the way.
yes, the Seer will rule Normal and Epic, but i think on Legendary he/she will have more trouble than a warrior, hunter or defender.
if you want to deal good dmg with DR and DW you must have pretty high intelligence, no? so, how much dmg are you gonna do with PS? maybe with Sapros, yeah, it would work, but i doubt you'll be able to equip it (since most of your attribute points will go into Int)

EDIT: never mind me, every time i speak of this game i think DoN Challenge, XmaX et cetera. i can't remember how it is to play normal TQ. sorry
actually it may work with Dream, also.

well, you are free to include xmas challenge to your single-mastery build, but I guess it would be heavy gear dependent for most classes. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[gorgus]

heavily gear dependent.

2.

Not 3, not 1.

[wiwi]

I'm non-native speaker so there's no point for that . At least you should point out something like which class is especially gear-dependent or the like .

@boombaye: excuse me? wot do you mean?

you got it wrong. i was only emphasizing what you stated in the earlier post, not correcting you.
Seer, i think, would be one of them classes with pretty high gear dependance.

@boombaye: ????

Perhaps he agree with your (and my earlier) comment. "True"

I d really like to see how a Defender fare better than a Seer on Legendary xmax. True, picking only 1 mastery is heavily handicapping urself, so obviously powerful gears are needed. But Seer's much less Gear-dependent than Warriors or the likes. Defense almost completely lack AoE, which is vital when you play xmax (yea theres Shield Charge (6 target max) Batter (3 targets), Pulverize (3 targets) but thats nothing when you compare them with true AoE spells like DW, DR or simple things like Trance of Wrath, not to mention PS trash Shield Charge hands down).

Stat might be a little problem, but if your gear is offering a some hundreds of %dmg, 500 difference in Str (which makes 100% enhanced dmg) aint gonna matter that much. Phantom Strike is still strong, even without those 500 Str.

Also, unless you are fighting bosses PS with Sapros is a bad idea, you cant hit each of them once then Phantom Strike. Hold a powerful weapon (think Veteran Folg of Reckless Power ) and u ll make the best out of your PS.

You dont hav to agree w me , but i believe that Dream is a strong mastery, but with xmax, its REALLY strong, esp when compared to the rest (mayb not Hunting, but...)
