Kingslayer melee sorc is dead due to new runewords!?
background:
the sorc uses a 2-Hand axe (silver-edged or glorious) with Kingslayer runeword. she has a very fast attack 10/11/12 frames with a 2hand axe, cause these axes ahev the same speed as staves for sorcs.
Now with the new runewords you can make this:
kingslayer ba (or other one hand axe)
phoenix shield
the phoenix shield seems to get up to 400Enhanced Damage (1) (%range not revealed atm). Therefore you will get higher damage with this shield than a build a 2-Hand axe, both have the same speed for sorcs. And you can block!
Therefore ther is nn to make a 2hand axe sorc. Make a 1hand one!
BUT: Any barb or pala will be far better with a kingslayer ba and a phoenix shield. Why should I make a sorc then??? Only reason is to be unique!
Need opinions, Im somewhat frustrated, just finished my kingslayer sorc.
