Enchantress with a DREAM...

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2,alt.games.diablo (More info?)

Hi,

as I have the new runeword patch active in single player (all new and old
ladder-only words available in SP) my Enchantress wondered, if Holy Shock
from the new DREAM runeword would synergize with her lightning mastery.

While playing with that DREAM helmet, I thought of the old Donkey Kong game
which says "How high can you get". So I put together the best high-level
stuff I could think of.

First of all, Enchantress is level 77 with Warmth, Enchant and Fire Mastery
maxxed. Lightning Mastery is 12, all other skill pre-reqs at 1.

Now we get to the good stuff. As attack rating is quite a problem on an
Enchantress, I went with my best rare bow:

Blade Bow
20% IAS (Shael)
190% damage against demons
+244 AR against demons
5% ctc L1 Amp damage on striking
+ 96 max damage based on clvl
+1270 AR based on clvl !!

Standard outfit has DREAM helmet (level 15 Holy Shock aura), Chains of
Honor armor (+2all skills, +65 res all), +2 lightning ammu, Chance guards
and War Traveler's.

Standard weapon switch is Kingslayer axe and a DREAM shield. The Holy Shock
auras stack up to level 30!

Pre-buff for Enchant has Occulus, Lidless wall shield, Delirium helmet from
my merc, 1 SoJ and two +1 fire skill charms. So I have a level 34 Enchant
lasting 936 secs with +317% AR and 1834-2188 fire damage.

Holy Freeze merc has Infinity polearm (level 12 Conviction), Delirium
helmet and upped Duriel's Shell. Conviction should lower enemy resists and
defense by about 85%.

How does it sum up?
I have looked up pure damage (without weapon) from the character screen and
split up lightning and fire damage (after Enchant).

Weapon switch 1 (bow):

Lightning damage: 92-7977
Fire " : 5425-6766
AR: 8440
Total damage: 5172-14K !

Weapon switch 2 (Kingslayer/Dream shield):

Total damage : 5559 - 31K
AR: 3144

Resists are all maxed and defense is 2085 w/o Frozen Armor which should
about double it for 5 minutes.

Now I'm gonna see how this girl really plays...

Regards,

Oliver

Wow. That's some ridiculous dmg. Go Enchantress though. Kinda
inspiring. I'll definately think about it...

Yes it does. I never try it myself, but several others have confirmed.

Yup, strangely, the aura from Dreams stack.

Since you mention have the best high level stuff. Here is an idea for
prebuffing:
+6 Enchant, +3 Fire Mastery rare Orb with 2x 5/5 Facet
Spirit monarch
+3 Fire Skills Tiara with 2 Facets (or is it 1 in a blue item?)
+3 Fire Skills Ammy
Enchant Ormus [+15% Fire, +1 Facet]
Arachnid Mesh
2x SoJ / BK
Magefist
CtA on switch
10x Fire GC
1x Anni

Level 53 Enchant with with lvl 49 FM, not too shabby.

Try this outfit out. (Switch to these after the above prebuffing)
Dream Helm
Dream Shield
CoH Armor
Mara's Ammy
Eschuta's Orb [+3 Skills, +20% Fire/Lightning, Light Facet'ed]
Arach Mesh/SoJ/Magefist, no gear change here
10x Light GC

Yes, you will be whacking with a tiny stick.
Look at your damage now. I won't spoil it here

Suppose you have a half a decent roll on the Dreams, and you've done 3
Anya quests, your resist are all maxed.

But way not use a Crescent Moon rune word when you are investing in LM ?

well, she's something like a glass cannon, though. When she faces ranged
attackers, it's always a close call. I always have one hand on the hot-key
for a full rejuv..

I guess I'll have to switch my HF merc for a defiance guy..

this is just an experiment.. I've taken my normal Enchantress and twinked
her up. And the LM also works on DREAM's Holy Shock aura - every
additional point in LM is about 500 more lightning damage!

But she is a real glass cannon, so she'll stay as far away from monsters
as possible. I guess a single direct hit from one of the act bosses just
might kill her on the spot..

Oliver

Pardon my ignorance since I haven't been online for couple of months, where
did you get that patch?

TIA

the patch can be found at:

http://chaosempire.net/patch_d2_aurafix_runewords27.zip

It adds the 23 new runewords and the ladder-only rw's (like Duress) to SP.
I have been playing with it for some time now and had no probs..

Oliver
