The worst skill build challenge:4TH Edition! ITS POLL TIME TILL DEC 11TH!!!

.

Here's a few challenges for ya:
-Shockwave Totem as primary DPS source
-Punishment (with no summons if possible)
-Puncture
-Full-on trapper/miner (only w/ self-made traps, no Fire and Bear Traps!)
-And maybe something gimmicky with Cold To Fire

:P

Corpse Explosion

Melee or Spell?

Worst Spell: Artic Breath, uncontested. Can't put it in a totem or you're not the one using it. Must be your main. Don't go find out about AB in the skill forum so your dismay is pure when you realize how bad it is.

Worse Melee: Sweep. How much do you like to be immobile, deal low damage and slowly at that?


RULES: You must use the skill to level as your main, not level the gem and then when yours 80 use it for maping.

searing bond is far worse than arctic breath because it cant be supported by anything but increase burn dmg

and Sweep is ok... it just needs some love from dev because as it is, its always in the shadow of Leap slam and cyclone

Whirling blades for anything but mobility is about as useless as they come, you will find yourself flying all over the place through mobs just to realize your desynced and have not hit any of them for the past 5 secs.

Which makes it highly-efficient in terms of socket usage (SB+TotemRes+IBD+FPen). Take two, pair it with good 6L zombies. You can even get 6L bear traps if you wanted because searing bond works extremely well with vulnerability and so will bear trap (which incidentally..keeps your targets trapped).


You could even tri-curse Vuln, Ele Weakness and Flammability to devastating effect. (+Anger/AFD Zombies lol). I've been meaning to make this happen..but haven't had the time :(

Searing bond isnt a skill... You don't use it actively it's passive. thats like saying Shockwave totem is a skill, it's not it's a totem.

And sweep for main would be terrible.

read the grey text at the bottom... weither you like or not its a skill... a skill that has only offencive mods so its an offencive skill

shockwave totem was once a good offencive skill it got nerfed and now its crap, but it has a defencive mod KB so it can be used has a def or off skill but a skill anyway

I think you should do searing bond.

Chance to ignite, inc burn damage, ele equalibrium, ele prolif.

Totem build, burn damage, fire damage stuff.

Hit them with cold to trigger ele eq drop totems run around them.

Win.
