Matriarch TeethPulleress, a Natalya's Phoenix Striker with Shadow Master
#SC #Twinked

Theme song

Alright! After a small cut in gaming, I restarted with this character, as I really like Martial Art Sin but never got into it, maybe the fear of being disappointed - spoiler, that wasn't the case.

A brief gearing/leveling introduction
Natalya's set is clvlreq 79 for the claw, so it was mostly about how to get there in Hell as high as possible. Normal had been cruised through using a 1.09 Ravenclaw as soon as clvl 15 was hit, until clvl 42, switching to dual Bartuc's, then Nightmare beaten until 75, the last remaining levels made in Hell to fully switch to Natalya's after the Summoner. The final upgrade came during Act 4, with traded skillers (MA lifers 35/36/37/38/39).

The plan
As often with my twinked characters, I like to go with planned path of gearing, to get to endgame status without respec. Here are my endgame tables, and also my gearing path put simple in Spoiler.
15+:
- [15] 1.09 Ravenclaw
- [07] Nagelring
- [12] Angelic ring & amu
- [06] Death belt
- [06] Sigon then Death gloves (reason : STR bonus)
- [06] Sigon helm
- [06] Sigon armor
- [06] Sigon then Cow king boots

Vs Baal/end of Act 5:
- [33] Dual rare claws with IAS, Mana Leech and some Enhanced Damage

42+:
- [42] Dual Bartuc's
- [45] Ravenfrost
- [12] Angelic ring & amu
- [29] String of Ears
- [47] War Travellers
- [42] Lava gout
- [41] Duriel's shell
- [41] Vampire gaze

42+:
- Charm upgrades along the way

75+:
- [67] Mara's 20
- [45] Dwarf star

79+:

The journey

After a dual claw start, she equipped the 1.09 Ravenclaw and ran through Normal acts due to being overpowered with this tool. She fought Baal at clvl 40 with a pair of rare claws with some IAS and mana leech, then leveled until clvl 45 before entering Nightmare using the Bartuc's setup.

Things have been pretty straightforward, running mostly on p3 (leveling will be made in Act 5), only noticeable change is the gloves' update at clvl 51, with a 2MA/20IAS pair with stats and 19 LRes.

To be noted too is the first death, being a close fight in Travincal NM...been blown up on Council's fire explosion on death. Meh...at least that wasn't an HC mistake!

At that point, Shadow isn't cast, merc isn't resurrected except at start of acts, and is still (and will be kept as) a Normal desert one with aiming aura. Death trap isn't used either, but the point is ready. Phoenix strike is maxed, so is Claws mastery, and pumping Dragon claw.

Act 4 NM had been unlocked at clvl 56, and she found there her only skiller of the journey... meh.

Diablo had been taken down at clvl 58, then it was time to level a bit in Act 5, first at Eldritch up to 63, then at Pindle until clvl 73. She found there a 9LL Crown of Thieves, and a close call... only IAS missing!

Then it was time to complete NM, and Baal had been killed shy to clvl 75, hit during the Cow level.

For Hell, new gear was needed for sure, but clvl 79 has to be hit before equipping Natalya's set, so until then the upgrades were:
Merc got a Treachery and an Infinity, still using a Vamp gaze.
TeethPulleress picked a Fortitude, replaced the Angelic combo with Mara's 20 and Dwarf star, and added some resistance charms.

This lasts until the Summoner fight, when finally clvl 79 had been hit, unlocking Natalya's set.

Afterwards, Hell was somehow easy on p3, except for Act 2 Duriel's tombs in which she had been trapped twice in the middle of too many skellies. She dropped a Ko in Act 1, a Lem in Act 2, and Hellforge delivered an Um. Pretty nice while fast questing!

In the end the lifers' trades completed right before Diablo. It gave her about 2300hp with BO, and well... it had been rushed to the end, staying at p1 after Ancients, and Mat'ed at 82+.

That's it for her, thanks for reading!

Hope you enjoyed the planning data, don't hesitate to give feedback :)
 
Congrats! Wow... A synergy-less Phoenix Striker. 😲

Still, crazy good fun these MA-sins. Getting timings right is half the fun. :)
 
Congratulations.

Why didn’t you synergise the Phoenix Strike?

Well in fact I maxed claw mastery to have decent AR and have more damage for mana leech efficiency, and maxed Shadow Master too to have an efficient splitting of monsters - and a regular cast of Death Sentry, for which my point in wasn't used much by myself.

In the end I also saw that Dragon Claw wasn't as fast as Phoenix Strike charging attack, so I maxed it too to maximize chances to hit.

I guess that another route focusing more on Phoenix Strike itself will be efficient too. Hopefully given the MA lifers collection I have now, I may not have them dusting, so another Phoenix Striker with synergies can be another run!

Having Infinity does so much too for this build...it's like day and night with or without the stick holder!
 
With Infinity the Claw Mastery would be insignificant anyway. Use a respec and give it a try :)
