Hello,

Here's a "build" I've sort of put together:

Ward with Nightgrip + Ynda's + Faithguard and a Darkscorn.

Fun, fast-ish, bow poison build, if you're into that kind of thing. I'm sure it could be greatly improved; I just dinged to 93 and I thought it's time for other people to build upon it (if it's worth doing that)

So 10K Ward (with Nightrip it's like a mini, crappy fortify). But we use that 10K ward as 1000 added chaos damage (better than a 7-link with lvl 40 added chaos damage!) As chaos damage can poison, you can basically use any skill effectively poison enemies.

I had a soft spot for Darkscorn and it's '25% of phys taken as chaos' so I went with that. Scourge arrow of the Mennace is also a very fun skill. I've tried Lightning arrow, Blast rain, totems, tornado shot, all seemed to work well enough for me.

Some features:

  • ALL Ailment immunity (flask + boot implicit + stormshroud)
  • 10k phys max hit
  • 83 all res
  • high chaos res
  • 5K life (a lot of uniques!)
  • Decent damage (but takes some ramping)
  • High scaling potential
  • Can do Phys & Ele reflect maps
  • Can do reduced recovery rate maps

Downsides:

  • Haven't added phasing yet
  • Bad life sustain when not in combat (need to add more regen)
  • High mana cost that needs high passive-tree investment to reduce
  • Squishy against 2-shots.
  • Rip belt slot. No fun belts allowed.

Here's a Minotaur:

(really sorry about the low fps videos, I have no idea what's going on with my PC)

Hopefully you can build something fun with it! glhf
