49 lld kicksin idea
Ive thought a bit about what a lvl 49 kicksin build would look like. I want an asn who is focused on anticaster, but when the need arrives, do decent in melee too.
Skills:
20 venom(lvl 49 after skills and buff)
12 mind blast(lvl 25 after skills)
5 dragon talon(lvl 12 after skills - 3 kicks reached)
2 Weapon block(lvl 19 after skills - 57% block(lvl 18 yields 56%, hence 2 pts))
1 shadowmaster
1 CoS
1 WoF
1 LS
1 BF(bladefury)
1 BS(bladeshield)
1 dragon flight
and the rest are prereqs
Ok, now for the items(caster setup)
Weapons: Primary: Fools greater talons of quickness, 2 sockets, 2x UM.(or an equal rare with 2 sockets) Offhand; Bartucs, socketed psn die facet.
Armor: Duress. Duress just has it all - 40 fhr allowing us to hit the 86 fbeasily, minor dmg with %ed and the cold, almost the same resists as viper and finally one of our best weapons, the open wound.(though, you will want shaft vs zons.
Helm: Rare +2 MA, 20 fc circlet with visionary mod. If you cant get that, get a rare with +2, 20 fc and 2 sockets. 15 ias/res is needed to hit 9 frame traps and 7 frame kicks. Facet the second slot, in case of 2 socks.
Belt: caster belt with 10-15 fc, stats, hp etc. We need this to reach the 65 fc BP.
Gloves: Trangs. Only option.
Boots: IK boots. Great mods for casters.
Ring 1: Soj
Ring 2: Ravenfrost
Amulet: +2 MA, 10-15 fc, stats etc.
Charms: 10x shdw dcpl skillers with 30 life, or whatever the max is for that level. 4x 5fhr/17 mana sc's, 6x 20 life/17 mana sc's.
Prebuff: +3shdw decpl +2-3 venom, sojs, viper. If you have trouble hitting(which i doubt) you can always get an obediance polearm for the enchant, since demon limb isnt available.
Melee setup:
Armor: Switch to shael/facet shaftstop
Helm: Guilliams ias/ar
Boots: Goreriders
Your anticaster setup makes you a foe to be reconned with.
Summing up:
Lvl 49 venom available(though 45 is more realistic) with about +75% psn dmg
~70% OW
57% clawblock
High AR for a kicker
65 fcr
86 fhr
40 r/w (Dragon flight is used for improved mobility)
High resists, since LLD is often on normal
50%DR with melee setup, 20% without
Decent HP, im guessing for around 1,5-1,7k (bo isnt available)
Wide variety of skills: Multiple traps, shadow, bladeshield, bladefury
Multiple sources of damage: DOT, physical, elemental etc.
Thoughts for improvement?
