I saw a couple meleezon builds a while back, and it inspired me to make one of my own. I named her after the super unique in Act 3 of the same name and fighting style. I don't have any fancy daggers to put on her, so I had to be pretty tricksy with big groups. This character taught me the incredible power of decoy, which is now one of my favorite CC skills. My decoy was far more useful than Valkyrie, though a maxed Valk is nothing to scoff at. Inner Sight is really good, with ~89% to hit everything it brought me up to snuff. I decided to put my remaining points after that into slow missiles. The extra duration helped in long fights, of which I had many. Baranar's Star, Obedience, and enchant from Demon Limb were how I dealt with PI. I had a Might merc for a while, but decided to opt for Defiance, which conferred a massive defense bonus and figured out to 10%+ lowered chance of being hit for myself. Most monsters were well below 40% chance to hit, and then had to also get past my maxed block.

I was trying to get her to 89 to equip a sweet +2 zon /14 resist all/dual leech amulet I crafted up, but got bored of that and just decided to rally through act 5. She has died more than a few times throughout her career, which has lasted a couple years. Big packs with fanat and/or decrepify are the hardest to deal with, I had to skip WSK3 because of oblivion knights and immune to physical beasties everywhere. Decoy makes quick work of archers.

She spent a lot of time in the Pits, which is where she'll be going back to to level to 90 and beyond. I have plans to crafter her a better set of boots, a nice Fortitude, and I want her to swing something more interesting than Baranar's (Beast, Famine, Kingslayer, and Azurewrath have all caught my eye). She kills slowly, but is highly durable and a ton of fun to play. On P1 she doesn't do pits too terribly slower than my other characters. Without further ado, I give you Sarina:

Congrats!

I might have missed it, but was this untwinked? If not, you might like to find some of the items you're looking for with other chars, since it would be much faster.
 
She's very much twinked, my 500 MF meteorb sorc is busy at work trying to find her some of the other things she needs. She did find my second Vgaze, though.
 
Nice one! :thumbup:
