Max Block Nec Build -Comment/Critisize/Help Etc.

Gear:
(Primary)
Rare 2/20 Nec Circlet with some STR and/or Dex + Resists "Shaeled"
Rare 2 Nec / 15+FCR Ammy with STR and/or Dex + Resists
Enigma MP
Hoto
Stormshield "Ber"
Arachnids
Trangs/Magefists
Shadow Dancers
SoJ
10FCR Ring with STR/Mana/Resists

Inventory:
Anni/Torch
3x 12FHR PnB
6x 25+ Life PnB
10x 15+ Life SCs with 5+ Light/Fire Resist

This would allow for 125FCR/86FHR/Max Block/2500+ Life/Max Resists

Stash would probably have 8BS White with Dececrify, 35FCR Spirit etc.

Anything wrong with the build?
Should I put points into any of the Curses?

you need some more stacked res i think else the set up seems fine

 

[ShazamLies]

1 pt ur amp damage for team duels/leveling

IMO it is best curse for team PvP if you don't count tap

 

[Ouallada]

Decrep is pretty nifty too.

And yeah, you do lack resists with this setup. Better stack on some more, or use a wizzie.

 

[TheRisingX]

Okay, more stacked res... how am I going to get that? 5x Fire and 5x Light SCs would get me 50/50 more resists.. Cold is sorta okay with SS + Trangs.. but Cold Sorcs will still hurt me a lot after cold mastery.. Poison is only useful facing Ghosts + heavy psn SC zons....

 

[mythos]

I agree. A wizzy will help out your resists. Do you actually, have that ammy yet? Because they can be tough to find. Since, by 'rare' you actually mean crafted.

The difference in damage between wizzy and hoto is negligible for pvp imo. The main advantage of hoto imo is the oak.

I'd say also stash some treks for when you switch in spirit. Depending on the str bonuses from your rares/crafts you may not have the str to equip your dancers without SS. I may be wrong, so you do the math based on your gear.

Chamed SS is also a good idea for 'walking' wind druids.

My set up looks like :

2/20/60 mana/2 soc -shael sheal
Wizzy - 7fhr/dex/fr jool
Mara
Enigma
Trangs
Spider
Treks
FCR ring - str/life/res all
FCR ring - dex/3xcr/3xlr/10 fr/pr 6x mana
Charms : anni/torch, 7 lifers, 2xfhr, 10xlife/res

I get 80+ stack in all resists, except fire which is approx 45 stacked. This is without anya quests. I've probably gone overkill on the stack, but meh... its either that or life/mana sc's. I have 2.7+k life, 125fcr, 86 fhr, but only a 4k spear/spirit at lvl 90. This is mainly because I have 1pt in revives/amp/im for when pub duels turn nasty.
If I ever get my hands on a 2nec fcr dex/res/life ammy then I'll use it and hoto. Until, then I'll stick with the mara/wiz combo.

The worst part about your set up is the 'hard to find' items. But if you've already got them, then I'm jealous.

Hope this helps.

try and find nice pair of 3 res boots , thay are abit epensive but worth every penny.

 

[TheRisingX]

thanks guys you are a great help
I think a wizspike would be a great choice actually now that you went more in-depth... and PLUS i could always switch around. This way I can find a 2Nec/10FCR which will of course have better mods than a 2/15+ Ammy. Or if I do find a 2/15+ then my ring slots are open as well. Perhaps a nice Str/Dex/Resists ring? with mana + life... *okay im dreaming a bit too much*

And no, I do NOT have most of the items yet. I wish
I do have lots of tradables at the moment though.. hope with some luck I can find most of the items.

Expensive is an understatement for these on west, unfortunately.

I'd say also stash some treks for when you switch in spirit. Depending on the str bonuses from your rares/crafts you may not have the str to equip your dancers without SS. I may be wrong, so you do the math based on your gear.

Switch in treks to equip dancers? Won't treks be replacing dancers? To OP, simply switch out dancers with SS. you don't need max block in your caster setup. The exception is ww/trap sins, but those are pretty rare on west.

As for fcr ammys, try a 2/10 first. Much easier to get decent mods on those. Then, you can drop one fcr ring for a soj/bk.

The other build you will need resists and damage reduction against is v/t's. You will need block and resists against any auradin.

My build has a 125/152 and a 125/86/max block/max damage reduction set-up. Within that, I have a number of set-ups that help me to stack resists if I need to retain my damage reduction.

Non-resists max block:
2nec/20fcr/23str/34 fr/35cr/shaeled helm (I wish I had a 2os for my nec )
+2pnb/20fcr/20dex ammy
Hoto
SS/Ber'd
Enigma
Trangs
20 dex raven/or 10%fcr/15dex/resist ring
10%fcr/12str/14dex ring (for str lost from treks when I switch to block boots or tri resist boots)
Arach
+24 dex eth shadow dancers, I'm not to sure how I will replace these when they break.

For resists I have the standard Wizz with 9/15, Kira's (still have to socket yet, looking for a real nice jewel).

As you can see I have a little bit different set-up as I prefer swapping a little more for +dex.
