Do you ever make stupid builds?

On the subject of spell casting marauders, as someone who has always made his own builds without any following guides, making a spell casting marauder is not a bad idea. Marauders can follow a high life route out of their tree to the other classes that support the spells they want to use. Once you have sufficient skill gems stockpiled or can trade for the skill gems you need, the only difference between any class is starting location on the passive tree and the starting stats. That's it. Every class is relatively the same.

Have I made silly builds? Yes. Many. I like to do them. In fact, my most recent one is actually FAR more viable than I ever thought it would be and I'm altering it as I go.

Eventually though, I want to make a cold snap character with Romira's Banquet, when I actually have the ring and try to make it damage viable. If nothing else it should be fun. I thought up a cold snap character prior to Romira's Banquet being released, but it's reliability seemed like it would rely a lot of gear to make it somewhat reliable.
All my builds are stupid, I am a stupid person, stupid.
Lightning warp totem build?

My next lolled build i have in mind for some day will be a completely autokilling one if lightning warp works with cast on damage take.

Speak of the devil. That's the silly build that I just wrote about that's working way better than I thought it would. Searing Bond.

Spoiler
Things that support it are:

Increased Fire damage
Increased burning damage
Increased level
Elemental Weakness
Flammability
Vulnerabilities "40% increased damage over time taken"

So I went with a searing touch, dual berek's pass for more fire damage (I never thought I'd use that crappy ring, just swapped them out for better rares) and other ES/Armor items. I'm currently sitting with this tree at 51 and am super tanky and kill things very quickly. It was funny having 811 dps at level 24 as soon as I could put it on. I now have a Windscream with whispers of doom, and CWDT Elemental weakness + flammability + vulnerability so when I take damage everything gets 3 debuffs that makes them even more susceptible to the burny goodness.

To complement that I added Molten Shell + Concentrated effect to add some unneeded dps (and defense) and something to do when I already have everything in line with the totem. The final defensive option in it is EB + Mind over Matter which will hopefully support arctic armor late game with massive regen, at least I know it will when I'm standing still. Currently level 51 and strolling through merciless act 1 with burning corpses at my feet.


Of course, that post you referred to was pre-searing totem buff, so obviously you'll have a different story than me.
Ranger with every run speed passive node + items with as much run speed as possible.

Zero survivability, barely any damage... but man, was that ranger fast!

I have such a ranger

and her survivability stems from her walking speed. You'll just have to do a lot of running and strafing.

No, i make builds for fun. I summon whats in the zone im currently in and i have a tri ele witch among others. To me a game isnt about does it work or not, its about fun. IRL if something doesnt work you might run into trouble but not in a game.
