You will also be maxing Sacrifice, Zeal, and Blessed Aim(Synergy to Holy Freeze from our Gear). but basically, you will be maxing, Resist Cold, and Salvation. Skilltree - For this build you'll want to follow the skilltree pretty much verbatim, although I'm sure if you mixed and matched your last points it might not make too big a difference. VIT: Every point not required to wear gear goes here. I have not tried Ubers/Dclone yet, not sure how well it would do, in those 2 encounters, it is super effective in all spots except places stacked with Cold Immunes, youll have no trouble killing them, its just obviously slower because your damage is based almost entirely on cold dmg. That said, this build is absolutely no slouch, and is 100% capable of solo farming most content, including all maps. All the rest of stat points should go to Vitality.DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A META BUILD, It is 100% a Novelty/Fun build for someone looking for something PD2 Specific, New, and Exciting. Vortex Shield requires 148, which is the highest you will ever need.

You want some large amount of Strength, keeping in mind boni granted from your gear. You want at least 136 Dexterity for Phase Blades. The rest of your points can be spent in various things, but I won't go into them now. You want to max the Aura first, since it also benefits your Mercenary, and it offers usually better value. The order to invest your skills is: 4 points in Zeal, 20 points in Fanaticism, Max Zeal after Fanaticism. It also gives good pluses to defense and block chance. Holy Shield, or HS, grants a very important thing regardless of skill points: it automatically makes your block rate the fastest possible (very close to it). But don't be afraid of saving skill points.ġ+ in Holy Shield. It's a good idea to spend skill points in here.

Below is a small road-map to get you started, if you have questions ask them.Ĥ-20 in Zeal - Important to get to level 4 (subsequent points don't matter for hit count)Īs quickly as possibly, to maximize the hits.Ģ0 in Fanaticism.
