off-beat character builds

well.. really as long as it can survive, maybe even solo Hell, that'd be cool.

I have my MFer, I have my tank.. need something else.. maybe something in-between, even. I've been thinking of a throwing barb or maybe a spearazon

I could give her my skullders, hone sudan/arioc's, gore riders, dracul's grasp I guess a steelskull.. hmm.. not a bad idea. I think I just answered my own question. :scratch:
 
I would try either an enchant sorc or an ma 'sin. People love it when you increase their dmg by more than 3k. I remember one time I was lvling in a baal run game, and a high lvl sorc enchanted my bone necro, and I did more dmg meleing with my wizspike then with my main attack (I wasn't a very high lvl atm).
 
I've been contemplating an MA 'sin... I have Natalya's helm/armor, jade talons, bartuchs & a pair of gore riders I can put to use on her.. hrm..

I remember back in .09 they were one of my fave classes.. haven't really seriously tried them out in 1.10 tho.

you missed

trapsins need broken into lightning trapsins and fire trapsins.

Barbarian:
passive barb - Combat mastries only (I think I may have the only one of these in Hell)

Amazon:
passive zon - Only passive and magic skills, really tough build after you get to clvl 30, Hell viable.

Druid:
Breath druid - Uses firestorm and artic blast as main attacks.

Paladin:
Doesnt have a name but uses only auras for passive bonus'es IE uses blessed aim, resists and then an aura of choice like defiance. no real combat skills just auras. Not multiple auras like an auradin(aka dupadin).

I would try (...) an enchant sorc

That's exactly what I'm currently building... She's lvl 12 at the moment :lol: ! I have some neat stuff awaiting... +3 Enchant Ormus and +5 Mang Song's Lesson :thumbsup: ! But the best would be a 4-sockets staff with +3 Fire skills +3 Enchant +3 Fire Mastery to put a MEMORY into :cheesy: !

"+3 fire skills" meaning it has a prefix thus is magical or rare. Runewords only work in white items that are socketed or in grey items that already come with sockets. magical/rare/set/unique/crafted items can not be made into runewords.

Your best staff would be a +3 enchant, +3 fire mastery, 2 sockets for leaf no prefixes or suffixes. An orb would be best with +3 fire skill tree, +3 enchant, +3 fire mastery. Some people would kill for such an orb though.
 
I think you forgot to mention a barb build.
The Goldbarb. Pure % extra gold items.
Use in act3, trav, nm,hell and get up to 1million gold or more per run.
For gambling...

Glad to know it :lol: !
I never manage to know what prefix/suffix/whatever can spawn as an auto-mod :bonk: !

And BTW : I WANT THAT ORB !!!!! :D
