WW sin viable in hell?

[Madagou]

Is there a WW sin build that can take baal runs as good as any other fury druid or hammer pally? well almost as good?
I mean like maxing out the damag of the ww, so its strong enuf to take out most monsters in one go?

WW sins are terrible for pvm. There's no way around that fact. Chaos claws will never be high enough base damage to achieve what barbs can get...not even close. And unless you can find yourself some high damaging zod-glitched claws the repair costs are exhorbant since you basically kill off about 1 durability after a few WW and my chaos claws cost about 27k per durability :(

The reason I think that they suck at PvM is because they rely on poison damage and OW, which is very effective in PvP but not so much in PvM.

My WW/Trapper runs baals all the time, I just use an infinity merc and it's pretty much as good as a normal trapper. You have great defense and 65 fcr to tele with, you should never die and kills come pretty quick. Even a nooby lvl 75 meteorb does good damage with the merc to help her out, so if your run isnt full of 90+ hdins you can still kill. Oh, and cloak and mb means that no one should ever die.

Well, hybrids are a different story :P
You don't really WW in Baal runs I'm guessing?

[Madagou]

Yea i'm talking bout pure ww sins.
And is there a way to increase physical damage by a whole lot? like max gcs, max scs, conc might etc?

[clairetay]

nope...
just use CB gears....
n even that is slow...

I have to totally agree. My Decked out WW/Sin is terrible in baal runs and pvm in general. She just sits there and casts cloak and traps to help out. NO WAY can she handle minions on her own...unless you have 2 hours to spare.

I make it a point to never WW while pvm. 27k/dur sounds about right. I prefer to use my orts when the claws break in pvp (which has happend once in months of dueling)

Make a pure trapper (w/ infinity merc) if you want to own baal runs

my $0.02....

i switch out my off-hand fools claw, put my chaos in my offhand, equip a Strength greater talon as a primary (blowing my 7/3&9 right out the window) and basically play like a pure kicker with my mighty one-point death sentry. about the only time i use WW pvm is against phys immunes.

while my build (speederlander'sin) can solo hell quite happily, it all comes unstuck in large games. i can tele the WSK easily, but once arriving at the throne, it's quickest to mindblast/cloak everything and let the plebs waiting in town clear it out.

I remember calculating the highest achievable WW physical damage for an assasin, and If I remember right, it was something like 3,500 per claw with 50% crushing blow and ~65% deadly strike. I can't be bothered to make this calculations again, but it would be a nice damage, but with no survivability - all gear perfect and devoted to offense. Still, such assasin wouldn't be able to do baalruns, because she would die all the time...

Im using WW and Dragonclaw and i can take hell. Just stand and spamm Dragonclaw and when you got low HP then you do WW and you got full again.
