Wondering how this guy made #1 with his zoo build/skills?
Not sure if he changed his items wo hide the ones he used but i dont think so. In fact he has insane block % and effectivness, but beside that where should his dmg and surv (+ minion surv) come from to get to 18xx Arena?
Any ideas?
I dont think the ladder changes the items even if you change them, it keeps your record run and the gear you had for it. Ive seen it on my own run in the ladder
im sorry where can i see this?
Thanks! That is not a zoo build, that is a mono Abom Build. The skellies are food for the abom. Mabye you run mages and abom and zombie… not really zoo imo.
Abom builds dont need to focus on any offensive stats.
And can almost if not truly ignore all minion stats.
The abomination obtains increased damage for each minion it eats, as well as more damage in its tree for each it eats. And it gets health based on each minion it eats, that is then multiplied by the insane %inc minion health it gets per player level
So all you need to do is get very tanky, And avoid getting hit. Large minions are also good at drawing aggro, so it helps in that regard as well!
Abomination is only held back by its very poor ability to farm monoliths, as its just one big minion that has to melee its way through packs making it better in situations where it does not have to move around a lot or can just beat on something like bosses and arena.
His build is VERY well geared, he has large amounts of dodge and armor and block that dont naturally come to necromancer. As well as still being in the classic low life ward set up.
He definitely uses snapshotting. You can see on the video, that he is using a physical version of Infernal Shade, even though he didn’t specialized into it. That’s because it has infinite duration on minions, and arena transitions don’t remove it. He also almost certainly has another item set specifically for summoning, with minion damage and minion survivability. After summoning, he equips items for his own survivability, although their choice is a bit weird, but still it provides 100% block, a good amount of ward, armour and dodge. Passive tree is a normal solo abomination tree. Seems that he uses zombies only to apply mark on death.
Solo abomination is one of my favorite builds, but I hate the fact, that to reach it’s full potential you have to do item swap and skill respecialize on every login, dungeons/town/bazaar loading screen, or character death. But for arena it’s good, only have to worry about avoiding monster attacks.
