Matriarch Elinor, Fury/Chaos WW Sin with A2 Reaper's Might Merc
Screenshot018.jpg
Elinor is now the third completed character in my oSkills Sept. I made a WW Sin during my 7x7+2 (second character in this post), but didn't have Fury at the time as the second claw and I had thought at the time that it would be interesting to use Enigma instead of Fortitude. Beyond those two changes, I tried to diversify gear a little so she wasn't just a carbon copy of everything else.

Build and Equipment Overview
Max Venom and Claw Mastery, with 5 hard points in Fade and 1 point CoS, and lots of flexibility elsewhere. I went with maxed DS and enough points in FB for 8 shots, then the rest into LS for synergy to DS lightning shots. I had enough IAS to hit 2-frame WW, with teleport from Enigma allowing her to move across maps quickly or through walls if needed. My Chaos claw has DFlight staff mod, and I used that as primary means of moving around the battlefield, leaving it on left-click so I didn't need to switch skills to teleport from WW. I love DFlight, although it is a bit annoying on left click if trying to tag a well or WP when enemies are in vicinity given its auto-target-ish mechanism. The Fury claw has +3 BF staffmod, so that was a back up for dolls and other instances where I preferred to keep a distance. I initially went with Infinity for the AR solution (and stronger DS from Conviction), but switched to Reaper's for Decrep so I could keep p-setting up (the real issue was when around PIs or physically resistant monsters).

Gear
- Fury Suwayyah / Chaos Runic Talons
- Swtich: CtA / eth Spirit Monarch
- Enigma Mage Plate
- Guillame's w RJoF
- Gores
- 20 IAS Blood gloves with 9% CB, FR and Vita
- Rare belt with 24 FHR, solid FR and PR, and some strength and LR
- Mara's 29@
- Rare with Mana leech, FR and LR / Ravenfrost (244/20)
- Backback: 6 Sharp GCs (mostly vita or sust, but 1 FHR), 2 Shimmering GCs of Sust, 8 SCs with combo of Shimmering / Fine / Elemental Damage of Balance or Vita

After Anya, she had 75/60/75/75 resists with Fade active, 86 FHR, and 2-frame WW. Her trap laying was on the slow side, as was cast rate for teleport, but it wasn't an issue.

Merc:
- Reaper's with RJoF
- eth Fortitude
- eth Vamp w shimmering jewel with damage

Playthrough
Quick leveling with envy gear, to damage jewels, to Bonesnap, to Ribby, and then trapper spec when she hit level 42 and could load on Skillers. She then flew through to A4 NM when she hit level 60 and equipped Chaos with a rare ED claw, and hit level 65 in CS. She then equipped Fury and respec'ed to the final WW build.

She was quite fun and powerful, p8 for A1 and then p5 the rest of the way, with full clears of all A85 areas, all the A3 Temples and the A5 Portals. The combo of WW and DFlight, with dropping DS after a few whirls, made for engaging play. I hardly had to use CoS, pretty much only in the standard places with nasty ranged attackers. And teleport allowed her speed up play if I wanted, and was particularly helpful two nights when I was ready to wrap up and was able to just skip around looking for the WP. Updates from the Sept thread, which include more detail and some screenies are here (to Hell), here (A1-A3 Hell), and here (A4-A5 Hell) with some fun screenshots there.

Rune luck was again awful, with Io/Lum HF and only a Ko as highest from play. She did find a 2/20 P&B circlet though that is the first 2/20 option I have for my Pit Novamancer, so there's that. My fourth character, a FireMage Necro-to-be, is in A2 Normal, hoping to progress him into NM over the rest of the weekend to keep things rolling.

Nice character and write up! This is a character I am looking forward to (re)building in D2R. What was your actual WW ar?
 
Thanks @thefranklin she was defintely fun. I ended up pumping Dext to help with AR, and the LCS showed ~6800 on WW at the end if I recall correctly. She ended up hitting just fine (I suspect the ITD and -enemy defense on Fury helped, but she also had no problems hitting Baal where ITD doesn't work, to my recollection).
