Slowazon anyone?

Slowazon anyone?

now i know there must be a guide somewhere but i have been unable to locate one.....anyone point me in the right direction or offer up some suggestions here...i will start out

FA/multi/strafe?
upped riphook 30%
blackhorns 20%
kelpie for merc 75%
eye of etlich
raven + rare dual leech(or just mana leech)
upped iceblink?
cold charms
cold facets?
snowclash
frostburns
travs?

possibly throw in some mosnter flee(rattlecage on merc)+poison charms...looking at a nice low damage defensive build perhaps?

FA is a mana pig so she will have to have a large pool....the low damage bow won't be able to leech enough to constantly spam FA

any comments

edit....thx for the pmed link yogi

holy freeze merc
swap belt for nos coil for 10% slow
clewglaws...25% and knockback
stone for golem charges

reapers for decrep...because it will stack with zons slow?

How about Nos Coil belt instead of Snowclash, it adds another 10% slow and has leech and IAS. I use that but in Hell you cant really see them slow down and the only ice damage I have is from the Raven Frost.

you might want to give up just that 10% slow from nos to use razortail and get max pierce - that really shines with FA

also you'll probably want to use strafe/multi (if all multi arrows carry slow, this would likely be better due to faster attack) to initially slow all the monsters, then spam FA

and ill guess that reapers would beat kelpie also

adequate pierce can be accomplished by investing points into the passive skill.....idea here is to max slow

looks like max possible on zon is 85%. all of my previous experiments result in some serious lag/desync especially when combined with slow missile

sry but slow is in hell caped in 50%

I recall there were some serious issues with slow in 1.09, when slowed monsters would appear to teleport to you due to client/server desync. Was this resolved in 1.10? I haven't read anything about it lately.

My Harmony/ dual elementalist's merc uses an upped Iceblink with an Insight poleaxe. The mana regen allows her to spam FA up to a point, but she will occasionly run low. I think she needs a little more capacity. I'm not using a Razortail either. It is the best belt, but I'm tired of using the same item over and over again for every zon. Nos Coil has a lot of things going for it.

can you please quote your source...i've done alot of reading on this topic and i have yet to see a capped number of 50% anywhere

are you thinking about cold duration?

 

[superdave]

unless hate can come up with a source for the 50% cap in hell that he mentioned i am going to have to go with what i read and what rtb from the stats forum says
"There are hard caps on slow, which is 85% for attack speed and 75% for run/walk. Furthermore the maximum amount a source can slow a boss is 50%. Decrepify is a seperate way of slowing."

thread is here http://www.rpgforums.net/showthread.php?p=3248534#post3248534

 

[superdave]

tested in hell and it appears that slow is NOT capped at 50% in hell as someone suggested....this looks like a nice buid guys try it out

 

[haTeâ„¢]

I saw 50% cap for boses and tought and since there were no
informatoins on other monsters I tought thet is also 50%..

sry for bad info..

np....i was able to dig up some other useful tidbits of info while trying to determine if there actually was a cap on slow

Actually I'm positive that in 1.10 PvP slow is capped at 50 % , think you should try
arreat summit , maybe that's where I read it .

NEVER NEVER trust anything at the summit...there is a very good chance it is incorrect....they are not updated either so corrections will not be made

If you want to go all the way get 1.08 kelpie for merc, 100% slow target
