Perspective on AoV Power: Video of Holy Shotgun Kill from 2.6.1

Possibly the greatest ever ending to a solo GR, and this was without all the bonuses that AoV is now providing.

Orlash is AoV’s friend.

I saw that video… really awesome indeed.

I wonder if Shield of Ivory benefits from AoV 6pc bonus and if the released AoV would use Heaven’s Fury as the main skill.

It does, we’ve been pushing with Ivory Tower, Shield of Fury and Fate of the Fell w/ Blessed Ground. Some remarkable players have been pushing similar clears without it.

As for the vid clip above, in the Akkhan Condemn days, I was inspired by a guy on Asia server, paragon 1200 who soloed GR 114. His video was floating around somewhere on YouTube.

AdamADisco made a DiabloFans guide during that time for Lazy Shotgun.

I played A6 HF as my primary build for many months, I was able to solo clear GR120 – Captain Crimson would have raised my personal ceiling to GR123, but it was out matched by LoD.

On PTR, when they released the LoN buff with the S17 free ring slots, I was able to easily down GR125, and was aiming for GR127 at the time of close.

A good friend of mine, LimanZerga was able to solo clear GR127 on live with the LoD gem.

So HF build was already GR130 capable on LoD, but again this skill was quickly dismissed by Blessed Shield, Condemn, and Invoker builds.

AoV pushes HF over the top. All of the shield block behavior from the above videos applied to AoV HF as well.
