Just got a hoto!

Although now that I have one I'm not sure what kind of character to make with it =/ I know there are a lot of top-end builds out there that use this beauty, but I'm curious what type of character everyone here likes using.
 
Re: Just got a hoto!

Hammerdin, Windy druid and several sorc builds benefit greatly using a hoto. There are other builds but it's too early and I can't think.

You are only allowed to brag with it if it's made of self-found runes :p

I've had a lot of fun with this:

20 warmth
20 enchant
20 fire mastery
20 frozen orb
some cold mastery
static, teleport

She had HotO and a 35% spirit on switch with an umed Skin of the Vipermagi -----> 105% fcr on switch. The rest was stadard melee gear, so she doubled as an effective meleer and caster. And.........this:

In hindsight, lacking a shield while meleeing brought some challenges, but she has solid physical damage. Good enough to tear down FIs at a reasonable speed. Sorcs get a speed bonus with 2-handed axes. Weird.

I might have traded for a couple of ums, but I think they're mostly self-found. A gul was a hf drop, so it was definitely sf. Rest assured that none of them were duped.

What irritates me is that Raven doesn't work. That would help my melee sorc a lot.


 
Re: Just got a hoto!

Aside from what's been said, it makes for an interesting wolfbarb offhand weapon, and even doubles as a nice prebuffer as well. :).

SnickerSnack: Nice toys. Good to see you didn't bug your 'Passion' either, though it's ethereal or bust with 'Heart of the Oak'. :p.
