Mud's Char Builds

[Muderman24]

Beserk Barbarian


Skills:
Max Berserk
Max Battle Orders
Max Howl
Max Weapon Mastery



Stats:
Str-enough to use gear
Dex-enough to have 75% block rate (very imporant)
Energy-none leave at base
Vit-everything else



Gear:
-all up to you to many combos that work well to list



Mercs:
-Act2 Nightmare Defensive Merc (holy freeze) or Act2 Offensive (might) work very well take advangtage of the extra aura especially might for the extra damage



Notes:
-use a good shield and remember to keep you block % at max (75) because berserk will drop your defense to 0
-use howl when surrounded by a group of enemies works very well
-try to have your resist maxed
-this build works best on a sword based barb but can work with other types of builds
-leech does not work with berserk
-berserk is magic damage not many monsters are immune to magic
- you may want to invest some skill points in shout just for the fact it adds 10% Magic Damage Per Level


Hammerdin Paladin

Skills:
Max Blessed Hammer
Max Concentration
Max Vigor
Max Blessed Aim
Max Holy Shield
1 point in all prerequisites


Stats:
Str-enough to use gear
Dex-enough to have 75% chance to block (varies depending on what shield you use)
Energy-i recommend keeping it at base because you can use +mana/energy gear or even increase maximum mana gear also
Vit-everthing that you can should go in here


Gear:
this all depends and is totally up to you
remember +skills gear is a big key on a hammerdin pally


Mercs:
-yes mercs,they can be very good for u indeed mainly acting as a tank or shield for u to deliver crushing blows with your hammers
Act2 Nightmare Defensive Merc (holy freeze) or better yet a Act5 Barbarian Merc are probabaly your best bets



Notes:
as for attacking enemies you will want to be as close as possiable keeping blessed hammer on left click and concentration aura on is best so even if you are running and come into a group of enemies and can always hold down shift and start casting
Practice is all it takes,it may take a while for you to get the hang of it but be patient.
reason for having a point in meditation is,if you run low or out of mana and find yourself with no mana pots using this skilll at lvl 1 is 300% mana recovery,also handy when fighting mana burn enemies
reason for having a point in redemption is after killing a large group of enemies and find yourself low on life or mana using this recovers alot of life and mana
alot of things may vary depending on your needs/gear etc..

Energy-None
Vit-all the rest


Gear:
-all up to you I will recommend a HOZ (herald of zak) and Enigma (breast plate) feel free to discuss gear if you wish


Mercs:
-Act 2 nightmare defensive (holy freeze) is a real good choice or Act 1 fire bow merc,but since this is pvp you prolly won't need or use a merc


Notes:
-best for pvp
-use +skill charms if you can
-gear for this char to do lots of damage can be expensive but worth it
-lvling may be hard and will be difficult to do solo hell,this is not a pvm build
-running lowers your block chance,so walk and stand still


Bone Spirit Necromancer

Skills:
Max Bone Spirit
Max Teeth
Max Bone Prison
Max Bone Wall

1 point in Decripify(curse) let +skill gear do the rest
as for the rest i suggest working on Bone Armor,Corpse Explosion (not too many) and maybe clay golem



Stats:
Str-enough to use gear
Dex-enough to have max block
Energy-up to 65 but usally not more (use wizardspike)
Vit-everything else


Gear:
-this is the hard part there are to many combos that work experiment find out what's best for you



Mercs:
-Act2 Normal/Hell Defensive (difiance) works well gives you a big boost in defense..i haven't experimented too much with mercs for a necro


Notes:
-+skill gear is key along with items that increase mana/energy
-cast rate is a huge factor get a lot (wizardspike 50% faster cast rate)
-use skill charms if you can
-when attacking run around since bone spirit has a guided effect you don't have to stand there and take hits
-have good resistance
-use a ravenfrost or trangs belt so u cannot be frozen
-this is one of the hardest builds and they vary depending on what you feel is best all i can is experiment

Notes:
-life leech not really imporant if your an elemental druid
-use some +mana/energy or increase maximum mana gear

rest in oak sage
may want a bear too

Energy-None,leave it at base
Vit-everything else

Gear:
-this all depends and is totally up to you many,many variations when it comes to gear


Mercs:
-a zealot best friend can be his merc and i found a Act2 nightmare defensive (holy freeze) with your enemies being frozen and trying to hit you at half the speed as they normally would means you live longer and get a jump on the attack.well worth the money if you ask me.

Notes:
-Life Leech is very important to a zealot paladin
-A zealot can kill large groups of monster but not too large especially if thay are aura enhanced (fanta,might,etc)
