Melee Diviner with Life Drain

cheers Irma2

have to say this has been an interesting toon to build....now in epic greece.....twinked a bit from no higher than epic egypt.

dps shows as about 1100, but crits can show between 350 - 700 (weapon damage i assume) Vitality and Electrical burn damage seems way higher than any physical damage is being done.

was lucky like a previous poster to find lithe SBC+2.....but a lot of juggling between +skills. -%requirements and +%experience

furys heartblood, soul shiver seem to help loads

as i progress ill drop the +exp items for more "robust" items but can see the -%requirements getting juggled to the end

hehe at some point i had to equip pythias vestment to equip somatophylakes to equip rhesus whitwashed armor....but it worked

[Irma2]

Yeah, I had much the same thing. I forgot how much Dex +2 SBC required. When I found the gloves from the Gorgon sisters, I looked at the Dex requirement and went "Whoa, these need HOW much Dex?!" It took me a LOT of juggling (hence the Stately helm, and the shield with +% Dex as well as -% requirements) to finally equip them.

It's definitely a build that needs a lot of planning. And even then, it doesn't always work out like you thought. I worked out that I would need 300 Str for end game gear, if I found the right -% requirements items. Well, I'm above that already. Yet I somehow get the feeling that I'm going to need more Str somewhere.

so I ran in to a streak of luck and got a ton of purple-quality items, and replaced everything i had and started removing enchantments from sockets to put in my epic gear, and then when it was all said and done, I realized I could not enchant them.

F*ck.

so anyway, since I have beat the storyline once, I figured, what the heck, I'll use defiler to enchant them.

but with epic gear just having finished fighting the epic gorgon queens, I have been doing anywhere from 3-5k damage with phantom strike and distort reality. seems a bit high, but i guess thats what happens when you use a trainer tool like defiler.

yea.....imo, enchanting purples destroys the gameplay, it makes things faaaar too easy, but to each his own.

things have been much easier since i've done that. on the flipside, though, if you have a purple or blue item enchanted, you can't make any artifacts. at least i can't. every time I try to use the arcanist guy *poof* it kicks me out of the game. even if i'm not wearing the items.
