unpowered builds plz!

[NinjaTurtleRocky]

give me some unpowered builds that can atleast survive in Hell....thanks if you can!

[Dahkar]

Oxymoron isnt it? Underpowered builds cant really survive in hell, but i could give you some less played builds.

Throw barb

Chain Lightening Sorc

Pheonix strike assassin.

Dtalon assassin.

Poision necro.

Theres many more, but thats all that i can come up with off the top of my head.

[NinjaTurtleRocky]

yeah i just realized that after i posted. ok change that to NON OVERPLAYED builds

[BaNiSeR]

Three Builds for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
in the Land of Santuary ware the shadows lie.
One Build to rule them all, One Build to find them,
One Build to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Santuary ware the Shadows lie.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... Whats funny is that my very first Tinfoot incarnation on Bnet happen to be a pure Druid summoner with like 8+ in Raven (naturally, it was Soft Core... eheheheh) :D

I prolly would have pumped more, but I realized about 8 skill points that I wasn't getting more ravens :(

"I was thinking Hitchcock's "Birds" dangit!"

[STINGER]

Bowa without top end gear is a tuff one

MA Sin..........dont count DT as with enuff crushing its a nasty killer

Anyhting Melee is tuff and not over powered unless wearing top end stuff. Any Melee Pally, Sin will be tunff but workable. Druids are doable but not over powered in Melee either and most be played well or get over run.

Some "overpowered" builds are damn tuff to play questing.

In reality if you put the best gear on most builds it will do just fine in this game solo, its what they cant do in big games that is so obvious with many builds being underpowered, and doing this in big game play simply leaves you leechin alot, or running around like a freak just trying to squeak out a few kills!

If ya want a challenge go untwinked and play most any build other than probably Skellies or Java, or trapper!

[PhatTrumpet]

Spearazon
PheonixStrike Sin
Poisonmancer
Singing Barb (not exactly hell-viable now that I think of it)
FoH Pally
Charged Boltress
Inferno Sorc
Nova Sorc (actually saw one of these killing well in normal Baals)
Summoning Druid

[NinjaTurtleRocky]

ok two builds imma make....LABarb and Druidamancer(summoning of course).this sounds fun and i'll probably die but there aren't really great gears for either so i dont really care!

[det]

Plaquezon (and that LA Barb link was a fun read..made me wanna build one)

[BaNiSeR]

yeah, i cant remember ware i found it, but its espically great if you read the "background" on the booyaka tribe lol

i was building one in classic up until i decided to quit :S

[chinaman1472]

Try a Zon w/o using a bow/spear/javelins.

[jsiv]

Gogo Maulazon!!

[Kitriara]

Frost Zealot! A zealing paladin who uses Holy Freeze as his main attack. Mine is killing fine in hell right now. You'll definately be fairly unique but still be able to live.

[NinjaTurtleRocky]

anyone have anything else for a nonoverplayed build?

[WNxBeeky]

I play a DualClaw PhoenixStrike Assassin in hell, and its quite challenging.

Approximate charge dmg is:

800-900 dmg Fire
3-4900 dmg Lighting charge
900 Cold charge

I am fortunate enough to own a complete Nats set though. This helps enormously.

Nearly every other 'sin i see in hell is a trapper so its fun to be a little unique.

The major overrding advantage of using a dual claw PS nats assassin is hell, that you look cooler than everyone else. :clap:

Unless a Scythe wielding, Gaze wearing barb enters.... Then you take 2nd place.:)

[jiansonz]

* Blaze Enchantress (uses a ranged merc to allow Blaze tactics. Has Enchant not for damage, but for the AR bonus. Takes on fire immunes with physical damage: melee and/or bow/javelin. Perfecting backwards teleporting while shooting/throwing comes highly recommended).

* Any character who randomizes the stat- and skill points.

* Hunter Druid (Bow + summons, and perhaps Armageddon/Volcano)

* Swordmistress (amazon with a big damn two-handed sword)

* Valkazon (the character is geared at making the best Valkyrie possible, uses Decoy as well (to help the Valkyrie). Has a bow for some crowd control (Chilling/Freezing, Monster Flee, Knockback))

[BaNiSeR]

hmm, my faded trapsin looks sick! shes very sleek :)

im just missing 2 nats claws, well i guess i could do 1 nats and then toss on one of my tucks or jades for resists if its neaded...well im still missing 1 nats claw! lol

i guess if you really can work it, i should give it a try. ive never ever done a MA assasin other than kickers.

as far as frostadins go, my friend in classic played one up until it died, and its simply awsome. he would never get swarmed, it was just too cool :) the only thing i dont like about them is the nead for physical dmg or crushing or something for killing faster than with the small ammount of cold dmg. *dont forget shockadins!*

[CoonerTheRed]

Unless a Scythe wielding, Gaze wearing barb enters.... Then you take 2nd place.:)

Ok, I'm sorry, but there is no way a Scythe wielding, Gaze wearing barb is hot... have you looked at a gaze lately?!?! IT"S GREEN!!

Now a scythe wielding, other bone style helm might look hot, but please, not gaze :D

[PhatTrumpet]

If you make an Inferno Sorc I'll donate a fire-faceted Inferno Ormus' to the cause. :thumbsup:

[Tinfoot]

I'm starting up a Melee Golemancer myself... :D

Only Golem skills (maybe revive) and Melee related curse/bone skills... LOL All I need now is to find a cool scythe :evil:

[kurg]

thorns/conversion pally - I have one of these, but parked him for a while. I may dust him off and try again. He's pretty good except for ranged attackers can be a problem.

Or a tankazon (amazon using stiletto (dagger class)).

Immolation zon.

Fendazon!

(Under previous patches I have made frostmaidens, immozons, fendazons, etc, I'm not sure if they're all viable now).

[MoUsE_WiZ]

Revert to 1.09, stop playing ladder, and play a CL sorc...funnest build ever.

But if you must play ladder, play as Donetello...IE Tal's Mask + Levi + Ribcracker...gogo Ninja Turtles!!

[Dubby]

my current build is a meleeress with a few tanks

her build is a little equipment dependent but not too awful.

she uses enchant, static and thunderstorm
and she has a merc, golem and grizzly bear for tanks

she survives hell without a hitch and with some serious tweaking can be nearly unstoppable pvm.

[NinjaTurtleRocky]

immma try that Valkazon....gonna be tough...my lvl 55 melee sorc died from frozenstein...im thinking this build will suck for hell tho cuz i've tried it on single player and it wasn't too good. if anyone has anything else...please post...i thank al those who have posted!

[Sip]

Ninja Turtle spearazon?

Leviathan, Gaze, Viperfork?

[g1mpy]

omg flying booyaka roxors

[Smrtihara]

I just dug up this old thread from down looow and I couldent for the world realise why no one even mentioned the Cleric?! It is (in my humble opinion) the greatest sub class! People will adore you in HC, and you will be able to dish out 10k dmg to undeads without super expensive gear! Hehe Just thought i'd throw my fav subclass in here.

[HelzCaretaker]

for each class
amazon: tankazon (uses only passive skills) always try a psn javazon, jabber/fender as well
assn: ts, any elemental melee attack, dragon tail, fire trapper
barbarian: singer
druid: summoner, fire elemetalist, mauler
pally: vindicator, charger, ranger
necro: psnmancer
sorc: inferno, blaze, charged bolt, cl/lightning, glacial spike

or just find any class and use non of their combat skills

[Kyar]

I'm starting up a Melee Golemancer myself... :D

Only Golem skills (maybe revive) and Melee related curse/bone skills... LOL All I need now is to find a cool scythe :evil:

hmmm......with the unique balrog blade that gives +14 inferno....would that work out?

[choc0]

Wear all etherial (cant spell) stuff and youll be a ghost!!!!

[IamTheTest]

Wear all etherial (cant spell) stuff and youll be a ghost!!!! OT sorry, I love your avitar. Im a huge Zim fan...gogo Gir.

[Unholy_VI]

there was a thread going around the sorc forum

about using frost nova as your main skill. If I remember right the damage got up pretty high after the synergies are maxed and with a few + skills (like 2000+ per cast and since there is no timer you can knock them out pretty fast)

they were mostly talking theory. no one had actually done it yet i think.

definitely unusual. Potentially very effective too.
