The Fuzzy Dodger Builld: Fun for the entire family
The Fuzzy Dodger (name is a trade mark of nastyx inc):
Hiya. This is a build that will have all the various jerks in Pubby Games going HUH??
I give you: The All Passives Bearazon!
This of course means getting a Beast weapon...
So why did I build this char?
Well in v1.09 I had a sort of fun lvl 92 pvp Fury Cryptic Sword/shield amazon. It sucked, couldn't kill anything and was HELL to lvl in cows.
Then came ladder and as I got bored with D2LoD I tried the char out again... This time using a Flesh Ripper. This was on Ladder and I was not really that
rich, so the gear was cheap and sucky.
Ladder Season One ended and I decided to rebuild both chars and make it kick butt... This is how I did it:
Gear:
PvM:
Chains of Honor Archon Plate for the resists and skills
Crown of Ages for the FHR, Resists and Damage Reduced
EtherealSandstorm Treks for the FHR, Str/Vit and such
Rare Belt with 24 FHR, Str and Life or use Verdungo's
Dual Angelic Combo + amulet
Beast Caduceus for the bearform, the fanatiscism and the speed
20 Ias/+2 Passives Gloves (mine also has 5% Bonus to AR, 7 dex, 26 Cold res and 5 light radius)
Stormshield with Um
9 Passive Skillers with life and one with FHR to get to 86%
9 20 life sc's
CtA and Lidless on switch
I get 7 fps speed with this setup and this is needed to get shots in against fast hitting chars
PvP Gear
only a little difference but here goes:
Duress Armor for the Open Wounds, Crushing Blow and 40% FHR
Gore Rider: For the Deadly Strike, Open WOunds and Crushing Blow
Other than that I just stick to my normal gear. I lose the one FHR charm and use a life passive skiller instead, though.
Skills:
All Passives!!!!!
This is what makes this char a bit special. You have no damage skill and you have no skills that boost Attack Rating other than penetrate.
So I did this:
Max Critical
Max Penetrate
Max Dodge
Max Evade
Avoid to get 60+
Max Inner Sight
This gives me:
62% Dodge
63% Avoid
62% Evade
74% Critical Strike
This makes it a char that is VERY hard to kill.
Stats:
Str for Gear
Dex for Max Block with Storm
Vit gets all the rest
Nrg: Just put in 1 point here to be a cheeky bastard
With my setup I get Max Block, Max Damage Reduced, Good FHR, 7 FPS Attack Speed and 5000!!! Life and 3.3k defense
This is achieved with Life Skillers...
I know this build sounds expensive but the charms are pretty cheap and the gear too, really.
She is a build for melee PvP and has taken down Fury Druids, Pure Kicksin, Pure WW-Sins, WW Barbs, Jabazons, Frenzy Barbs, Conc Barbs and such.
She still gets her ass kicked by great chars and smiters, but this is not a high damage build...
So what IS the damage on this baby???
764 - 872!! with 17.7k AR
This is very low, so don't expect to kill fast. This char stands her ground, seldom gets hit and whacks away at great speed.
I hope this can persuade more people to make a Fuzzy Dodger... She is the Abrams Tank of Modern Day Diablo II.
Have fun
Regards Sonnich
PS: Going to upgrade this later on with strats, options... So I am taking suggestions in PM from experienced Pee Vee Pee Geeks
