SharQueDo's Clonehunter Guide

[SharQueDo]

Hi, this is my first guide. I will keep it short with stats, skills, equipment and strategy. This guide is for the rich, but normal ppl can follow this guide for a weaker build.

Version: 1.1

* Short intro:
I've decided to make a clonehunter build. This Druid will use the werewolf form, along with some interesting mods (anti-boss) like open wounds and crushing blow. And on top of that: Very fast attack speed.

I've killed all 6 ubers (except Lilith) without using a single potion! (singleplayer). Lilith is somewhat harder with her poison. And I couldn't handle 20 Izuals together, either, hehe.

Following this guide will get you:

- 2k-9k damage (13k-58.5k against demons) per hit.
- Along with very fast attack speed (+120%), along with the attack speed bonus of Werewolf skill and the Fury skill. Crikey!
- Around max (50 - 75) resistances on hell.
- Almost immune to cold and fire (Raven Frost & Dwarf Star).
- Cant be frozen. This works too with the holy freeze aura Duriel has (new in 1.11?).
- 55% chance of crushing blow (around 10% of the ubers total health), this is your main killer.
- 10% open wounds (prevents healing, very handy!).
- ~20% damage reduction.
- ~3k health & ~300 mana.
- ~2k defence.

* Stats:
Strength: (RToll: 156 | CMoon: 165 | Doom: 132 | BotD: 151)
Dexterity: (RToll: 93 | CMoon: 103 | Doom: 83 | BotD: 112)
Vitality: the rest
Energy: base

* Skills:
20 - Werewolf
20 - Lyncantrophy
20 - Feral Rage
20 - Fury
20 - Cyclone Armor
2 - prereqs

Will have you suited at level 91. First max WW, then Fury, lync, feral and armor.

* Equipment:

Weapon: Ethereal Tomb Reaver [Zod & Ber & Ber]
Switch: CTA
Head: Ethereal Crown of Ages [40/15 & 40/15]
Body: "CoH" Archon Plate
Wrist: Nosferatu's Coil
Arms: Laying of Hands
Feet: Gore Rider
Ring1: Raven Frost
Ring2: Dwarf Star / Raven Frost
Amulet: Mara's Kaleidoscope

Poorer players can wield:
Jalal / Cerebus [40/50].
Cat's Eye.
Ethereal "Breath of the Dieing" Giant Tresher.
"Doom" Cryptic Axe.
"Crescent Moon" Cryptic Axe (<-- el cheapo).

Or other stuff like this. I'd like to stick with polearms.

Charms:
Anni & Druid Torch
Shapeshifting skillers.
Res small charms.

* Strategy:

Few words: Shield, BO, BC, WWolf and fury away! If they make a critical hit, your tornado armor will run out, you turn back to Druid with 1 health. This is your life saver!

Minimal 5 life leech is enough to keep you alive during the battle without potions. Average hit chance (5k AR) 65%.

Stick a Jah rune in the Reapers Toll (ZodJahBer / JahBerBer if non-ethereal) if you wish to kill normal creeps, too.

One note: Ignore target's defence doesnt seem to work on the superunique ubers, ironically enough. :(

+% Damage to demons only applies to base weapon damage, not final damage, so your estimate for damage against demons is a little bit high.

Also, off-weapon IAS (the jewels in your CoA, Laying of hands, Nos Coil) does not help (in most situations, including this one).

I would suggest you use Guillaume's for the CB and then shael/shael/zod the tomb reaver. I would also strongly suggest Dracul's Grasp. Yes, you do lose out on some damage to demons, but as I've said, it applies only to base weapon damage. Lifetap is extraordinary against bosses, since they tend to be resistant to leech. Combine lifetap with Feral Rage, and you should just about never die. The extra strength, life leech, life/kill and 25% open wounds are also pretty nice. Change your belt for Verdungos for some %DR.

Nice! I kill Baalclone in less than 18 seconds now. Only my CTH is 65%. Need a little more AR? :rolleyes:

I can also take on 3 Izual's simutaniously, not like that's going to happen on Closed Bnet, though. :lol:

I am to the point where i can just about solo tristram - 2 werewolves is all you need to do it easily.

1 wolf will use a ber azurewrath - it has sanct aura whick knocks back mehps pesky minions, and enough ele dmg to take care of the physical immunes.

the other wolf will then use a higher physical dmg weapon - i prefer ebotz and stormshield to get resistances and life/mana leech when tap isnt triggered.


current pvm setup:

Jalals - um it
storm - cham
string of ears
goblin toes boots - 25%cb
draculs grasp
chains of honor - damage to demons, res, leech
mangs on switch to shift with
2 rings with dueal leech - 7/7 and 7/6 with res and str on them
botd zerk - might play with ber azure and try to solo myself with it.

you have good ideas - props to you for noticing how easily wolves can run pvm!

Charms:
Anni & Druid Torch

I love how this is a guide how to achieve the torch, and we're supposed to already have the torch.

It's not really a guide on how to get the torch, it's a guide to a character made to kill the clones. What's wrong with using a character with a torch to kill them? It'll make it easier won't it?

Good input.

And why else would we want to kill the clones? For fun? Please. This game has no fun value anymore. It's purely who can pwn who faster with the most elite gear, thats all.

Yeah what he said. :p

It hasn't slipped my mind that you hunt the torch for that (I was sleepy, sue me), but hey, there's always people who needs help with the ubers. :D

I want to adjust the first post a bit. (upg) Goblin Toe are good boots. Hence I don't know all the items exactly. :thumbsup:

If I only could find the stupid "edit" button which seems to be missing. :scratch:

Is it so hard to rejoin the game and pick up the charm with a different character? And if my goal is to "pwn" faster than anyone else, I sure as hell want a torch on that char. Just because you think it isn't fun doesn't mean someone else might not like it.

Unlike you, some people might consider actually having monsters to kill that are quite worthy or stronger than them as a challange, a quest for themselves to beat 'fun'. Sure, the Hellfire might be nice, but I mean it sure as hell beats having a crapass day because someone is nking + gold stealing you in a pub dueling game by just helping your friend, everyone combining str + effort to take down the monsters in unison. :rolleyes:

yes that would work swimmingly :thumbsup: . 50% Cb is really gosu for pvm. Put a shael in it to reach 5 fps to.

[OCAU_MIKLE]

How have you killed the uber boss's in SP when they cant spawn in SP ? :rolleyes:
