Ronnie is the 6th character from my eBotD Sept. Not a lot of options for a staff-wielding amazon, so she is predicatbly a P+M focused melee zon. Oh, also she is a bear. I also liked the idea of having her be an all-girls group so she took a Rogue along for the ride and gave her an 'Ice' bow.

Inroducing RonniePumpkin, the eBotD Archon Staff-Wielding Titan Bearzon!

Switch: Beast/Spirit (to get fuzzy, obviously!)

Charms: Steel/Fine/Life/Resistances (see dump for details)

Now I suppose a bit of explanation is needed here. She had a couple main problems due to how I built her and the choices I made (going bear, taking a Rogue, etc); resistances, and AR.

I stole an idea from @maxicek that helped solve both problems, and went with Kira's + Angelic combo to solve both issues. The rest of the gear is pretty self-explanatory and left her with 10 FPA and plenty of damage.

Merc:
Divo - Cold Rogue

Head: Delerium
Body: Treachery
Weapon: 'Ice' Superior Blade Bow

She was great! her bow + Treachery gets her to 9 FPA, which led to lots of novas and therefore plenty of safety (especially combined with HF aura and Delerium). I built her as a defensive powerhouse and she definitely lived up to that.

Even as a Titan, she can TANK:

Some Thoughts:

- 10 FPA was plenty fast enough. She felt very quick and smooth attacking, and it helped keep the life bulb full. That's also as fast as she could go without adding in Fanat from Faith, so that's great too.

- Normal attack only is looked at as a bit of a downer typically. I didn't mind it at all. Plus, it's nice just not having to think about mana for any reason whatsoever. Damage was fine too, even on /p8. If I make a Bearzon again though, it will definitely have proper auras to buff her.

- I liked the merc. She kept things extremely safe, which makes sense since she was entirely defense-oriented. My only gripe was that she wasn't fantastic at dealing with PIs, but that's mostly my own doing of not planning properly for that.

- It's been said by pretty much everyone else who has made a bearzon, but man I wish Valk didn't re-set the timer for Werebear. It's a little thing but it did get irritating at times.

- I could have carried CtA in the cube for some extra life, but I hate switching gear like that. Never felt like I really needed it either, despite being a Titan.

- I didn't have any problems with D/A/E spamming. I know others have mentioned it as irksome in their writeups, but it just didn't bother me outside a few scenarios where it stopped me from being able to run around properly. Could I have used fewer points in them and instead buffed the Valk through Decoy? Absolutely. Would it have made a difference? I doubt it.


And to end it off, a little sample of what her gameplay looked like. Here she is doing her one and only Pit run at /p8:


Thanks for reading, as always!
 
Congratulations on the Matriarch. Love a bit of Kira's and Angelic combo. Nightfish was a big fan of double Angelics, he preferred that then stuffing the inventory with resists.

I'm going to bite, how did you come up with that name?

Thanks guys! I really liked the Kira's + Angelic combo, it really frees up a lot of options for the rest of the equipment. I will definitely be considering it again on future builds.

She and all other entrants are named after cats owned by a character from Trailer Park Boys (some good old Canadian television, that is). The Charger who started it all began the trend, and honestly the names are too good to pass up!

Congrats!

Love checking out these oddball builds 😄

"I wish Valk didn't re-set the timer for Werebear."

Valk resets werebear? Or is it because you needed to unshift to cast?

Casting Valk resets the timer to be able to cast Werebear. So you unshift, cast a new Valk, and you have to wait around a few seconds to shift back. It's admittedly a small inconvenience, but over the course of a playthrough it does leave a slight impression.

I'd love if a future patch (now here's some wishful thinking!) let us cast skills while shifted, even just utility ones like summons, teleport, etc.

Oh. Yeah. The shared cooldown timer.
