After the Avengers, the next MP project was the Shapeshifting group. With that I welcomed the opportunity to make a Bear Amazon, the last class that I hadn't played as a shapeshifter previously.
Here's some gameplay from @maxicek's perspective throughout A5, including some of those awesome hermaphrodite animations.
(When Amazon dodges in Bear form, she briefly transfroms into Druid and back to bear again – how cool is that?):
(More gameplay from previous Hell acts here).
I also recorded the group's Baal run form my perspective:
Build idea:
Fuzzy Dodgers aren't exactly common PvM builds, but I've often seen it mentioned as a good PvP choice. It makes sense because it's really, really hard to land a hit on this character. It has high defense, high life, in case of my setup some block. Then comes the Dodge/Avoid/Evade layer, and if she does get hit after all that, she benefits from high FHR and %PDR. Such defensive capability is not really required in PvM, but it isn't the worst feat to have, and spending all points in the passive tree is the most natural Bearzon option anyway. So I started planning and theorycrafting this girl with the aim of min-maxing her sturdiness and damage output as best as I could.
The toughest decision was weapon choice (more details here). It kind of boiled down to choosing between no block and hard-hitting 2-handers like Oath or BotD, speed madness with the 4 FPA Gris Caddy option, or Grief and shield – which is what I ultimately went with. When considering gear flexibility and FPA, Grief offers top-tier damage in the same ballpark as BotD/Oath, while providing ITD and allowing much more freedom on rest of the gear. Using Grief & Stormshield moreover meant getting to (or near) the 50% PDR cap with ease, although the drawback is that using a shield makes her block more frequently, but that's perfectly fine. Some slots were swapped in and out from time to time, but for the vast majority of Hell she used this:
Build: 20 Critical Strike, 20 Penetrate, 20 Valkyrie, 20 Dodge, 7 Avoid, 7 Evade,1 pre-reqs
Key stats (solo play):
Questing & twinking route:
Normal and NM were super fast. Javazon OP. Details on twinking and leveling route below:
After getting to 82 in the Cave, Hell was done with the MP group consisting of @maxicek (Dream/HF Bear Pally), @PhineasB (Venomous Bearsin), @skiffcz (Wolfbarb), @D2DC (Earth Shifter Wolf) and @d2lover (Stun Bear). Damage output of the whole group was off the charts thanks to Concentration, Fanaticism, Might, Conviction auraus, Enchant charges and whatnot. Not much to say, everything simply melted through all of hell. Merely PIs sometimes lived longer when maxicek wasn't around with his Dreams and skiffcz hadn't procc'ed Amp yet on that particular group.
For PIs I also ran Atma's in A2 and had Demon Limb and Reaper's stashed. These also work just fine for solo play. With the group I didn't really need a PI solution though.
After finishing the MP sessions I did one P8 Baal run to see if she could handle it herself, swapping out Pride for Reaper's on Merc – no problem! Not the highgest damaging char but she can stand her ground on P8.
Drops: eth Radament's Sphere, Wizzy, Lance Guard, 13 ed eth Feral Axe, 5 MF/10 PR SC
Lots of fun with this char, in particular with the MP group – thanks again guys, it was awesome!

Questing & twinking route:
Normal and NM were super fast. Javazon OP. Details on twinking and leveling route below:
- 1-18: Envy stuff, Hsarus belt + boots
- Really the toughest part of her entire journey was 17-18... or rather that's what it felt like, just because of impatience before Charged Strike became available. Envy gear is strong until lvl 18, but after lvl 18 it was all turbo-charged:
- 18-42: +1 Jav/5 MPK magic javelins, 3x3 MPK jewel'ed tower shield, 2x Manald, Tarnhelm, Eye of Etlich, Stealth, Death's gloves + belt for CNBF and IAS. Pumping ChS and synergies. Then just held down RMB until Pindle, pretty much one-shotting everything on P8.
- Pindle until 42 => enter Nightmare
- 42-65: Titan's, Lidless, +2/IAS gloves, Silkweave
- NM Eldritch until 65
- 65-76: Enigma, CtA/Spirit switch, Shako (Already hit right 65 after finishing Hell Diablo.)
- NM Pindle until 70, then NM Baal until 75.
- 76-82: Griffon's
- Hell Cave until 82 => respec and endgame gear above
After getting to 82 in the Cave, Hell was done with the MP group consisting of @maxicek (Dream/HF Bear Pally), @PhineasB (Venomous Bearsin), @skiffcz (Wolfbarb), @D2DC (Earth Shifter Wolf) and @d2lover (Stun Bear). Damage output of the whole group was off the charts thanks to Concentration, Fanaticism, Might, Conviction auraus, Enchant charges and whatnot.
Not much to say, everything simply melted through all of hell. Merely PIs sometimes lived longer when maxicek wasn't around with his Dreams and skiffcz hadn't procc'ed Amp yet on that particular group.For PIs I also ran Atma's in A2 and had Demon Limb and Reaper's stashed. These also work just fine for solo play. With the group I didn't really need a PI solution though.
After finishing the MP sessions I did one P8 Baal run to see if she could handle it herself, swapping out Pride for Reaper's on Merc – no problem! Not the highgest damaging char but she can stand her ground on P8.
Drops: eth Radament's Sphere, Wizzy, Lance Guard, 13 ed eth Feral Axe, 5 MF/10 PR SC
Lots of fun with this char, in particular with the MP group – thanks again guys, it was awesome!
