I have been going through so many possible ideas. While there are a few for other classes (Mana Guide mage or Shattered Lance on a primalist), most of my ideas are for Sentinel. Mostly FG playing around Forgemaster’s Might, but a few in Paladin or VK.
So I figure I’m gonna just level FG, see what uniques I drop and then lean into that build until I’ve seen how functional it is. If it works I’ll keep going and keep an eye out for the other items, if it doesn’t, I’ll try swapping to another option.
These thread shows a lot of the random ideas I’ve been tossing around in my head:
I’ve just been thinking a lot about potential builds for this. In particular I’m interested in finding things that have some synergy that wouldn’t be possible or otherwise would be worse without getting to use both the 2h and the shield. Not just a 2h build that gets to sac some offense for defense or a 1h build that upgrades to 2h for more damage.
Some things I’ve thought of as potential combos so far:
The new unique Phalanx obviously gets a lot better if you have a shield to get extra bloc…
That’s interesting. I haven’t really touched Runemaster at all because it just looks really complicated to me, but I might give that a go. I love builds where you can stack a lot of stats and defense and this looks pretty straightforward to play at least.
Yeah, it’s totally normal for people to have 1000c videos in their pocket, just in case some random internet dude asks them to “back it up”
Huh. I wasn’t sure exactly what you meant by that so I took a look and I get it now. There is just a lot of random fire res or elemental res you incidentally take if only to get your other resists capped.
I wish I knew what they were thinking when they made items like these. Like some of the cool looking uniques and sets are SO specific that they must have had some idea for how they’d be used and then you actually go looking for them and you come up empty, or you try what seems like THE way t…
I mentioned this somewhere else, but I figured it was worth a separate thread to discuss. This is another idea I’ve been considering for next patch: A retaliation themed FG that makes use of Forgemaster’s Might to Wield the new Unique Phalanx with a shield. Together with Sigeon’s Reprisal we get to auto throw Shield Throw and Javelin. We scale all 3 with strength and phys damage. Jav gets melee damage from the spear, and Shield Throw gets extra throwing damage from retaliation which we can get f…
