A build idea: Shellshocker

[Shadowmaggot]

I was just strolling through the list of runewords and had already the idea of a one-shot kill pala with 2-handed chargeweapon. So I noticed infinity and began wondering if something like this could work:

20 might (charge synergy)
20 vigor (charge synergy)
20 charge
20 res light (shock synergy)
1 fanaticism
9 prereqs
= 90 total (rest to fana)

Infinity would provide conviction, -lightning res, cyclone armor, 40cb, 35faster r/w and some vitality bonus. Infi would be stuck in a great poleaxe for the range and damage, the requirements will still be salty though, but at least lower than in giant tresher.

Dream helm for lvl 15 holy shock aura and then boosting it with offensive aura skillers (this is possible, right?).

Fanaticism will get a really nice boost from those offensive skillers, and it tops salvation synergy bonuses in the field of AR.

I'd believe the total possible damage to be something quite nice :)

P.S. This thread is not a guide but hopefully it'll raise some discussion.

i dont think +skills help with auras that are on from equipped weapons..what i mean is..if you wear an item that gives +holy shock, then your +skills boost it...but if you use something that turns whatever lvl aura on while equipped, +skills dont help it. i dont know for sure, but i think you are stuck with the lvl the runeword gives you

heh you still my name for a project i was thinking of: smite + holy shock

[MegaFlame]

smite+holy shock, I almost lol'd here. Since it'd normally be a "dream smiter(vindicator)", it would mean something like "a man who can only avenge himself in his dream since he is too weak to do so in real life".

I did something along the lines of a dream smiter with mine. I basicly got bored, put a grief on him, tossed on some res scs for stacked res, and threw the rest of my pts into smite. (He uses max fanat as opposed to convic and has a merc with infinity, unlike most builds tell you to do)

He takes them down as well as my Smiter, and takes out the PI minions with ease. Sure, my smiter is faster, but this has a bit more flavor.
