Xander's PvE Builds (Project under construction)

    Alright... so now that there have been a few changes in the game, I am once again pondering what to do next... The missing skills are the PvE Elites.


    R/A: Idea is to run 5 Critical Strikes to improve the damage of Unsuspecting Strike (+23 +35^90%) whilst decreasing the cost of it with Expertise (10energy -> 3 energy).

    D/N: 5 Soul Reaping to increase duration of Masochism and use Dark Aura on a hero to trigger large AoE together with Scythe Attacks (+Splinter) and Aura of Holy Might.

    A/W: 5 Strength to increase damage a little through armor penetration (while pretty much critting 100%).

    P/R: 5 Strength to increase damage on bow attacks.

    W/D: 5 Soul Reaping for more spam spam.

    W/D: Same as above :p


    Each build would get a different hero team to increase it's potential :p

    Any thoughts? :p

    Alrighty, back to the drawing board.


    So: I have been playing a setup of R (player) 1xR 6xP (heroes).

    Conclusion is that I can't handle the slowness of the playstyle once you fight something with a good block/blind/anti-physical. Just something that never bothered me before (after 10 GWAMMs and even a GWAMM paraway, I did try to use as many new mods as I could so maybe that's why it wasn't as great xd). So I have come up with a few new player builds (some old ones returning just for the sake that I can't improve them xd).

    The ideas:

    Warrior: just smack shit and it will die. ezpz

    Ranger: Apply Poison (+ Withering Aura) for Reap Impurities

    Necromancer: Sacrifice health with AoE damage on top for big deepers (note; might require more healing from heroes:P)

    Elementalist: build idea from Krschkr (dropped Elemental Lord for Air of Superiority)

    Assassin: Big time crit dagger boii or gurll (with +5 Expertise for less energy pressure from Unsuspecting Strike)

    Dervish: Avatar of Lyssa for big time ench spam combined with Aura of Holy Might :P

    I'm mostly leaning towards the sin tbh, it seems to do amazing damage; with pcons/cons and Shadow Theft you will hit 20 Critical Strikes and 20 Dagger Mastery (21 actually, but it's either this or CS with 1 too much xd) and 20 Air Magic.... Doesn't that just sound amazing? :D

    Or.... Should I run this for the Ranger... It adds either heals, energy management or holy damage. Plus the other benefits from the Avatar skills (armor, heal etc). And since the new mods exist, this is now actually doable :D Idk if BU also reduces the set cd time for the Avatar skills (if anyone knows, otherwise I'll find out myself)
