What off the wall build is your favorite to play?

we all know the cookie cutter builds. but a lot of times those are boring, even though they are efficient. what other builds do you have fun with that may not be considered “optimal” for stuff like hell farming or UBERS?

i love pheonix strike dual claw assassin. nowhere near as fast as a blizz sorc or hammerdin for farming, but so much fun.

i made a new pally and i’m trying out a build based around charge. it’s hilarious to zip around so fast my framerate hitches because i’m zoomin along with over 20 points in vigor and hit the charge button.

Hammerdin
No one plays Hammerdins…

I pushed a zeal shockadin with a Crescent Moon phase blade+random junk gear up to Act 3 Hell, where I hit a brick wall of lighting immunes. Had fun getting there though. Zappity zap, Zeal Slap. :slight_smile:

man i wonder how fast you’d hit with a lightsaber on that shockadin

He was zealing really fast, I’d say 4 or 5 attacks per second. Crazy

I’m running an enchantress. Pretty fun so far, but she’s only in nightmare… we’ll see how hell goes.

Had a frost maiden with Ice, so fun watching all the frost nova procs.

i’m leveling a bowazon just to try that!

i can’t decide if i want to run her with an aura merc, or use Ice on the amazon and the other runeword bow that gives fanatacism on a rogue merc

none really. all the “exotic” builds have a downside im not willing to take. usually lack of aoe options.

last one i was tempted by is throw barb for example. no aoe except maybe pierce on offhand. meh.

if you can stand playing a hammerdin, it’s hard to justify any other build imo

bear sorc

ww sin

back in the day, town fire druid xD

what’s a town fire druid?

Idk that either are my favorite or anything, but I recently made a pure leap attack barb, and a pure FotH paladin. They both pretty much suck but they’re also pretty awesome too

Hydra Sorc. Screw Fire Wall and Meteor.

my main is an orb/hydra sorc. it’s awesome. i can’t aim meteor with a controller, and firewall is even harder to manage. with hydra i can teleport in, pop a hydra, pop back around the corner, and damage is still being done.

When my brother and I played the original version I had a Necro with almost all skill points into corpse explosion. He played a Barbarian. He would run into a room and kill one enemy and then I could corpse explosion the entire room with two or three casts. Could never do that solo because that Necro was a marshmallow but all I needed was one corpse since the area damage span was most of the screen.
Great fun.

I’m now closing in 20hr found with my singer

But financial effectiveness aside, enchantress with harmony revived A5 guest Vile archer(explosion arrow) … sweet baby Jesus

Bear Pally with Griswold’s Set.

You are literally a glowing Grizzly = Unstoppable

A paradox, unstoppable yet immovable

Can’t kill crap with this kind of build lol

It kills things just fine. I made one with holy freeze my brother made one with holy shock we do chaos runs and ubers with them all the time.

How exactly does that work? Paladin with full grizz set and also a bear, seems impossible?
