shadow killers ?????

[PraetorianX]

Okay, i love the fact that the shadow killer battle cestus looks really cool when equipped, but..... i am at a loss when tryin to think of a build to optimize this claw. If anyone out there has a good idea, i would love to be able to use this claw (still need to find a second one :/) plz share ur thoughts! :howdy:

The only thing I can think of to use Shadow Killers would be a BoI-Sin. The problem with them, in my opinion, is that they have absolutely no plus skills, and the damage is not all that wonderful either. For any build, I think there are claws that would perform better than the Shadows. Just my two cents.

K, say i used two of these on a Blades of Ice sin. Would the freeze target +2 one BOTH claws add to the duration of the BoI skill? How would the math look on that? (assuming two claws and lvl20 BoI)

Not quite sure, you may want to ask someone who knows something about cold dmg... maybe someone in the sorc forum?? I'm don't know much about the math in DII, I normally just look up the formula, plug and chug... Check out the Immobilizer guide as well... maybe something in there?

thx for the link ritslev. Your build looks very intriguing to me, cause i too hate having chars like everyone else. Anyway, i have a couple questions about this build, if i may.

1. Could u use a different element attack (CoT or FoF) and shadow killers to get dual element dmg?

2. Why no shadow master ?

3. Why not venom to boost blade skills and normal claw attacks as well?

4. Why didnt i notice that guide and look and not have to make this thread? :lol:

No. Hit freezes target is not something that is shared between weapons. You'd have +2 only.

1 : Sure ...

2 : Cause I went for a certain 'style' build. This meaning that it's a soloing character... though I have mentioned a merc, I never personally use one.

3 : 1 in Blade Shield.. 20 in Venom... a definate Variant.

4 : I have absolutely no idea :)
