Help to choose a character to build

**wishyQ** · 10-06-2012, 03:36

Hi, I build a hammerdin, fishymancer, Pure lightning fury in Single player. I wonder what character to build next?

Lightning fury zon can take down monster very fast in player 8 but the ****ty things is the resistance/ health issue. In short, she is a glass cannon.

Hammerdin has a problem with immune-magic monster, and the overall damage is not as impressive in player8. In short, he is a good tanker but not a good Dps dealer.

Fishymancer is abit too passive eventhough you can equip yourself with crushing-blow and join in the fight. And damage-wise, he is >lightning fury zon as CE is not as effective in player 8.

I wonder what character to build that has
-around the same DPS as zon (can solo hell with player8 fast and with ease)
-around the same defense as pally

I think i am too greedy...

If it's a choice between the 3 then I would say build a Fishymancer. Then again, I'm biased towards Necromancer's.

No, i mean i already got fishymancer, hammerdin and pure javazon. I want input on which character to build next with
-around the same DPS as zon (can solo hell with player8 fast and with ease)
-around the same defense as pally

Just wrote a small guide... Couldnt post it for some **** reason..

Anyhow! Consider the Concentration Barbarian!

High def with Shout+Iron skin(lvl 1 skills), and Concentrate at lvl 20!

Resists, high BO, %magic dmg, leap, weapon mastery. A real beast, and hard to kill 1 on 1.

Check it out!
I use this skill planner: Try it out!

Its 1.10 though, so I cant trust it 100%.. But its good!

o, i would love to see the guide you make for the concentration barb. I am not so into melee class character or should i say never build 1 before that can finish hell. I am alway looking forward to a high def/att char with good mf capabilities, i think a barb should fit the bills as you point out his high def/att and his horking abilities will be good for mf as well.

One thing to note about that build is, that every defense point you get from your gear, will multiply!

1000 base def will be several thousands with skills!

Peace

It also heavily depends on what gear you have and what target you want to run. With enigma and grief not much will beat the telezerker in efficiency for pit boss runs. For full pit clears the novamancer rocks. WW barb for trav. Lightning sorc with infinity for Baal. Blizzard for AT.

If it's just for normal questing you likely will not find any chars stronger than the three you've already tried. I always pimp the singer barb - but he will have a rough time on P8.
