I know I can do better at the start, but you must know what I currently have:
1 Sacrifice
2 Zeal (Let +skills give me 5 hits until I can get decent Blessed Hammer)
10 Holy Bolt
9 Blessed Hammer
0 Fist of the Heavens (not 36 yet!)
1 Defiance
1 Vigor
1 Smite, Charge, Holy Shield
5 Thorns
Currently +4 skills (will be adding Steelclash to make it +5); Angelic + Face of Horror.
My intended setup:
20 Holy Bolt
20 Blessed Hammer
20 Fist of the Heavens <- Primary Skill
10 Thorns
20 Holy Shield (+2 prereqs)
1 Redemption (+2 prereqs, Vigor is nice to get to/from areas too; Defiance alone good vs. bosses but Salvation would do better IMO.. but that's lv.36 too)
3 wasted points.
88 total skill points.
Spare points will buld Defiance to 10 and perhaps will max Thorns eventually.
Now, I know the importance of not using Thorns against portal bosses, so I am thinking of building Defiance early. I would perhaps use Thorns to get the monster down to say, 25% of its life, then switch auras.
After skills, my Holy bolts do on average 950 damage! It's quite a help against the undead at act 2, where this guy's at yet. I need to get used to Blessed Hammer's arc change, since it spirals outward further (or it just looks that way) -- most of you know I'm still trying to get rid of my vanilla LoD state of mind.
I know this would take a lot of work, but I do know caster gear would come in handy for this guy, but he would very well need a strong shield and the DEX would go up just to keep block at a nice level (maybe 50%, since I would need more mana on this guy -- or maybe I should've just make him a Meditator like a few others
)EDIT: That's what mornings do to you. Steelclash, not Stormguild you idiot! >_<
This time I'll be flameproof, but anyhow, discuss:
