This build is freaking awesome. Nobody does any real damage to him, so he can justify having less than 600 life. Chill length is affected by Cold Resists, and since he's at 95% with Half Freeze Duration, chill lasts 1/10th the time it would for someone with just 75% Cold Resist. Basically, most chill lasts less than half a second. Lastly, Faster Hit Recovery is a moot point because I just stand there and nothing happens to me. It's pretty hilarious.

201 PDR almost completely nullifies any physical dmg you can take in this game (PvM). But yeah, I'm wondering if it's enough vs Extra Strong Fana/Might something doing critical hit. Then more vita would indeed be nice?

 

[pharphis]

I would easily drop 100 str for 100 vit

 

[Clervis]

Yea, I pulled a lot from Worg. So I should probably give credit, because it's certainly due. Whereas he did the high PDR/resists, I took them to their logical extreme and wound up with almost total damage nullification. Also, he used the min damage exploit (a completely cool and novel approach) with Vengeance, I went with the traditional Fanatic Zealot; although w/ 10 skill points in CR,FR, & LR, Vengeance became a natural, and devastating alternative attack for physical immunes. Oh, one other big difference, he did it all, I just dream of it. His most impressive accomplishment is his ridiculous jewel collection for min damage.

I just wanted to create the closest thing to invulnerable that you can get. It's not really possible in the current version, but with a little time travel, now I can just sit in a crowd of monsters doing physical, elemental, and magical damage and not notice a difference. Lister and friends? Pssh. Nothin. Poison attacks heal me. Black Souls essentially just crowd around me and give me a lightning group hug. Furies do nothing to me. And this is all at players 8, where monsters do 43.75% more damage.

It's also worth noting that, while some of these seem ridiculous, hitting the defensive measures (PDR, MDR, Resists) isn't that impossible while crafting. There isn't any reason why someone could hit 150+ PDR, 50+ MDR, and 95% Resist All, if they crafted enough. The most impossible item is the Berserker Axe, but a Grief could do similar, still less, but similar damage. I also just wanted to create a runeword free build, but it's still doable.

That is so very cool. Any particular reason some of the crafts are 1.08 instead of 1.07?

The Greater Safety crafts are only available in 1.07 on the weapon/armor. So I had to use the 1.08. Which is a shame, because in addition to getting 6 affixes on 1.07 crafts, they also have access to magic only affixes like Life Everlasting, Evisceration, Chromatic, etc.

I live by my own rules. :whistling:

I suppose it would be nice. Necessary? Probably not. You could use a CTA and not dump every stat point into strength and easily hit 3K life. Though it would probably only be useful in those rare circumstances.

A Unique Death Lord and its 3-6 minions in the Throne of Destruction apply 80-120 base physical damage in Hell, increasing to 115-172.5 with /players 8 (averaging close to 100 base physical damage in Hell isn't unusual, particularly in level 85 areas and later Acts).

When it's Extra Strong (+99% Unique damage, +49% minion damage) and Aura Enchanted with level 14 Might (+170% Damage), this increases to ~425-635 Unique damage and ~367-549 minion damage. There's 5% chance of a critical hit doubling that to ~849-1,270 Unique damage and ~734-1,098 minion damage.

So even with Damage Reduced by 201 and just 568 life, one-hit kills are still a possibility even before considering being cursed with Amplify Damage or Decrepify, or critical Bone Fetish death explosions, or some Nihlathak corpse explosions and charges that always hit and cannot be blocked...

Speaking of which: a charging Berserker Unholy Corpse applies ~985-1,972 physical damage with a critical hit in /players 8 Hell; Pindleskin and each of his minions can apply ~608-1,238 physical damage with a critical Charge.

 

[Clervis]

And in swoops onderduiker with a stastical reality slap to the face. I did quite a few Baal/Trist/Chaos runs with this setup and never seemed to have a problem. The most physical enemies I remember were champion Blood Lords with Amp on me, but nothing got through. 99% of time monsters don't do enough damage to put you in danger. Maybe I let that go to my head. Might/Fanat could be an issue. Lord de Seis's fanat tickled a little. I think if I had amp on it would be worse. But amp only amps damage that gets through so they basically have to have a couple of things going to be a real threat.

Even a 300 damage attack is nearly negligible considering the 10K Def, 75% block and 20LL. So once they hit the 400 damage range they're dangerous, which means it'll need to be at least 3 of the following situations: p8 (+43.75%), might aura(+170%), fanat aura(+203%U/101%M), extra strong (+99%U/49%M), amplify damage(+100% of what gets through), decrepify(+50% of what gets through), or critical hit(x2).

That being said, with low life once you're in danger you're pretty much dead. I notionally built him for damage capabilities too. And 99% of the time this isn't an issue. But, if, like WoRG, you use a 1.10s Call to Arms, take a of Vita suffix on the small charms, and put strength stats back into vitality, you'd be close to 3K life and only drop from 22K average damage to about 17.5K. So he's still a very potent killer with about 5 times the life.

By the by, does anything enhance any elemental damage other than players, conviction, and lower resist? What about pure magical attacks?

Anni, Torch and 1.07 Maxers? That's not a dream build according to the forums rules haha
+7 to Paladin Skills? ^^

Isn't the Paladin too fragile when some hard hitting physical monsters are arround?

I was wondering what you were talking about. I just noticed the +7 skills. That was a typo. Are 1.07 Maxers passe?

 

[onderduiker]

Some clarification and additional information:

• Berserkers have +270%, +225% and +198% Damage while all other Champions have +90%, +75% and +66% Damage in Normal, Nightmare and Hell respectively (although this is halved and rounded down for all Willowisp Champions). Champions have 20% chance of being selected when a random pack spawns (a Unique monster has 80% chance), and a Berserker has 20% chance of being selected to accompany 1-3 Champions.
  
  
• Extra Strong Unique monsters have +135%, +112% and +99% Damage while their minions have +67%, +56% and +49% Damage in Normal, Nightmare and Hell respectively (although again this is halved and rounded down for all Extra Stong Unique Willowisps and their minions).
  
  
• Aura Enchanted Unique monsters have level max( [mlvl/6] , 1) Might so those in level 81-85 areas have level 14 (+170% Damage), while Nihlathak can have level 15 (+180%). It will apply a synergy bonus if a Unique monster uses Charge (+280% in level 81-85 areas).
  
  
• Aura Enchanted Unique monsters have level max( [mlvl/8] , 1) Fanaticism so those in level 85 areas have level 11 (+110% Damage), as can Nihlathak; this amount also applies to the Unique monster.
  
  
• in Hell there is normally ~1/4 chance of a Unique monster spawning with any particular bonus, and ~1/28 chance of spawning Aura Enchanted with any particular aura (so ~1/14 chance of spawning Aura Enchanted with Might or Fanaticism). The chances are higher for Super Unique monsters with two or three bonuses already (and there are the likes of Lord De Seis, who's always Extra Strong and Aura Enchanted with Fanaticism, and can always cast Amplify Damage or Decrepify).
  
  
• Even normal monsters can have +% Damage (from skills like Jab or Charge, for example).
  
  
• +6.25% (1/16) monster attack (not missile or skill) damage (and poison length) with each additional player only applies in Nightmare and Hell Ladder and Single Player games (this probably includes Other Multiplayer games, although I haven't tested to confirm this).
  
  
• Monsters normally have 5% chance of a critical hit doubling damage, which applies to all six types regardless of source (attack, missile or skill). Hydras summoned by Council Members have no critical chance (and since they're pets they only apply 17% damage to players).
  
  
• Amplify Damage applies Damage Resist -100%, Decrepify applies DR -50%.

By the by, does anything enhance any elemental damage other than players, conviction, and lower resist? What about pure magical attacks?

As mentioned above, critical hits apply to all six damage types (including magic damage) regardless of source (attack, missile or skill), and the player count increase only applies to attack damage in Nightmare and Hell Ladder, SP and Other Multiplayer(?) games. Since 1.13 Oblivion Knights do not cast Lower Resist. Otherwise, Council Members have +% Fire Skill Damage in Nightmare and Hell, which aside from their Hydra probably applies to fire damage added to their melee attacks when Fire Enchanted, Spectral Hit or Aura Enchanted with Holy Fire (although I haven't tested to confirm this).

The distinction between attack, missile and skill damage isn't always obvious (particularly between the latter two). Most attack damage is intuitive, even when ranged (arrows, bolts, darts, javelins and quills), but the following are also attack damage:

Tainted lightning orbs
Skeleton Mage bolts
Lightning spire bolts
Willowisp lightning bolts
Demon Imp fire bolts
Claw Viper missiles
Succubus and Stygian Fury bolts (physical damage)

Aside from a possible damage increase due to player count, these will also have damage added by Unique and Champion bonuses (including that added when Aura Enchanted with Holy Fire, Freeze or Shock).

 

[nulio]

I was wondering what you were talking about. I just noticed the +7 skills. That was a typo. Are 1.07 Maxers passe?

They are not passe. But there is no Anni and Torch in SP, and no 1.07 maxers in Bnet. That why usually SP planned best builds don't usually use Anni and Torch.

 

[Clervis]

As always, thanks for the informative and thorough response, onderduiker. I redistributed his stats for more life for these 'oh crap' situations. And I've run quite a few more runs through varying areas for testing. His life came up to just under 3k, but I have yet to deal with a situation that even gets him down to a 3/4 red bubble.

I have noticed that with 72 MDR, magic only damage is nearly extinct. Snakes' bonespears, Stygian Fury's magic hit, and Greater Mummy's Unholy Bolt, don't seem to be able to do anything to me, except maybe the occasional critical hit.

On top of this, magic damage is nothing, it can only be effective if there is a Conviction aura. Even then it's not bad. Even Nihlathak's bugged poison snakes can do anything.

That just leaves the physical for anything that can present anything of significance. Like I said, I'm having problems finding packs that can do anything to me, which I suppose isn't much a problem to have. I usually run into any special pack and stand there hoping my life will go down, and then my merc eventually kills them all, to my chagrin. I've run into Berserker Moonlords and haven't seen any appreciable damage. I think the trick might be to find an might/fanat enchanted pack and hope for some additional help getting hurt.

They are not passe. But there is no Anni and Torch in SP, and no 1.07 maxers in Bnet. That why usually SP planned best builds don't usually use Anni and Torch.

Yea, I get that. I tried to have my character both ways, which is a bit too greedy. I'm reengineering him to deal without the anni/torch, which shouldn't really impact his core stats (201 PDR, 72 MDR, 95% Resist All). Why no maxers in Bnet?

 

[nulio]

I read that 1.07 had a short/no reign. 1.08 came out really fast.

 

[Clervis]

I think it was 1.09 that came out really fast, eclipsing the short 1.08. But regardless, following the rules of time travel getting something from them in SP is okay. Max damage charms are in open Bnet, for those who think time travel is okay.

 

[MYK]

This doesn't seem like shooting high enough, but: Sara's Rift-a-Sin. I like the kicker, and when given a Rift weapon, along with Infinity and lightning traps I would think that she would turn into a little monster of doom. They're already a very fast character, capable of bouncing in and out of combat situations in a very dynamic way which seems unmatched. Thing is, I can't really seem to see what I would give her that isn't topped by the parts in the guide - the name brand items carry her right to the end save for something like a JMoD loaded with facets. Reason it's a dream: I'll never get Infinity in unmodded D2.

 

[Clervis]

Alright. I took your guys' advice and reworked it. I redistributed my stat points and gave myself 1600 life. At this much, he seems to be virtually unkillable, even when he reaches the occasional super pack. I dropped the Blessed Aim merc and took Blessed Aim passive synergy. The merc is now Might with Pride, so my LCS damage has been boosted, but he lost his Amp, which I'm still not sure about. I managed to bring the average damage all the way up to 30K, which is pretty huge. Oh, I also ditched the Anni and the Torch, and I feel pretty good about it. He's looking pretty darn good at this point.

So what's special about 1.08 safety crafts over 1.07? Just ease of getting mats?

1.07 greater safety crafts only include weapon/armor. They're special because they give the 15 pdr/10 mdr bonus. They're not nearly as great because they can only have 4 affixes, as opposed to 1.07, and they can't have magic-only affixes, as opposed to 1.07.

Oohh.. that makes sense. Thank you for explaining.
