Patriarch Harald - The Immortal King
Meet Harald , my first melee build to finish the game and my 4th pat/mat overall.
Stats:
Level: 84
Strength: 187 (232)
Dexterity: 20 (77)
Vitality: 298 (298)
Energy: 10 (10)
Life with BO: 3680
Mana with BO: 283
Resistances: 75/75/75/75
Skills:
all prereques 1
Whirlwind: 20 (27)
Berserk: 1 (8)
Battle Orders: 20 (26) with dual spirit
Shout: 20 (26) with dual spirit
Battle Command: 1 (7) with dual spirit
Find Item: 1 (7) with dual spirit
Taunt: 1 (7) with dual spirit
also 1 point in increased speed and stamina.
Mace mastery: 17 (22)
Nat Resist: 3 (8)
Gear: Full IK set ofcourse , with two shaels in the maul and um rune in the armour. Also two perfect topazes in the helm. Angelic combo for much needed ar. 19/230 Raven Frost (found while questing and replacing my suckier Raven Frost he was already using).
My charms give a total of 176 AR , 23 max damage , 6 all res , 5 poison res , 56 to health and 1-13 lit damage
Merc is with might aura and carries duriels shell , guillaume's and reapers toll.
Gameplay: Played through normal and nightmare /p8. Used my perfect Bonesnap for most of the early game until Bloodtree Stump. Died once in NM Chaos Santuary to iron maiden. Rather dumb death if you ask me. OK casts IM and I hit the guy , whack 50% health down. I'm like what was that , oh iron maiden ok. I'll just attack again , whack dead. That was my only death though. After that I equipped Windhammer and made NM Baal runs until lvl 76 to equip IK armour and the maul. Cruised through hell with /p1 (changed at some places though). This was rather strange. Just today I was at the city of the damned wp , but managed somehow and pretty quickly to get through the latter part of act 4 and whole act 5 in just a couple of hours (I'm even slower you see). Mostly because of the durability of the IK barbarian. Ancients were super easy , one of them had might aura I think but that didn't matter. In about a minute they were all defeated. WSK lvl1 was easy , as was lvl2. Lvl3 had OK and some gloams. Super careful here as I was rather paranoid of IM now. For my grief the same combination was in the throne room. Still I cleared the throne and Baal threw his minion waves at me. Killed them all (didn't even notice Lister , he was taken down so quickly!) without much trouble. After that I stepped through the portal and smashed the big guys head in. He dropped crap as usual.
It was alot of fun and everyone should have an IK barb. The set is awsome. Damage output and survivability is really good. Just needs some ar and you are ready to go.
Finds: Gul from Hellforge (yay!) , 2xStormchaser both horked from bosses , Blade Barrier , Verdungos , the Raven Frost mentioned before , Hellrack and lots of other low level uniques and set items.
Special thanks for Neksja for the armour he gave me when he "quit".
What Next? Gonna look for a nice LK map and start running it. Maybe also I'll take him out on a spin in the WSK. Thanks for reading.
