I have yet to see a build that doesnt utilize a Valk. I have only seen a few builds that uses a 1 pt valk.

How important is a valk if you are fairly rich in d2? what if you could get a merc with max res all, a lot of leech and damage (act2 might), and defense?

would a might merc be better or defiance? getting a valk really nerfs my builds. i wont be fighting mephisto, and im on non ladder so i cant use reapers toll for decrep. basically Pitting and helping people out in my clan.
i have a 1280 ethereal pally armour with Um, a 790 def wire fleece Chains of honour, a 200% ed ethereal Amn'd spire, 450 def Delirium, 108 shako.... basically, decent gear. doom big stick maybe, its a bit costly though, im down on runes too.

it just saves a lot of points not using her. of course it makes life easier if you do. however, it would be cool to just go use a 20/20 synergized FA instead of a 10/20. quite a big difference with +4 skills, +5 bow skills on a FA with 10 vs 20 base synergy.

I would then invest like 3-4 more from base in Multi so i could spam KB in pit (even though you people said it wouldnt work as good as strafe in close quarties, it does a better job of KB'ing in nm pit than strafe does....)


------------------------------------

Edit:
Also, how about level 20 in penetrate? like just after skills level 20? good enough for a strafer with WF in pit?

26th level strafe is cool in nm to watch. I am trying to not use Atma's and use my +3 passive +35% mf ammy instead. (passive tree helped out globally has some nice effects!

i just made a javazon and put 1pt in all of passives. The previous 1 i made i maxed valk. But my might merc does any tanking/killing lite immunes as well as if the valk was there with him. So... for my build it didnt hurt me any.

i have one zon level 91 now that has NO valk and uses an act 1 rogue...she solos hell easily...so yes i can be done....playing style is very important when soloing

if you use it for just a tank, as a magezon would be, then 1 pt plus all your skills would make it good enough. you freez, you have tons of mana, and can all but fire and cold immunes. of course, you could geta upped wws with shaels and just hit that rare guy with magic damage.

anyways, yeah just a tank :D

my case id like no valk.
