The build is so so, but it's getting me unrusty fairly nicely, which is what I wanted it to do. I'm into Hell now and things are sailing along pretty smoothly, but I'm definitely itching to try out the Druid and Assassin for the first time.
Dim Vision is so powerful that the Magi tactic is actually holding up pretty well. It's a fragile house of cards, but a house of cards built right can hold up against a mountain. The downside is quite simply how LONG it takes for me to kill anything now. I just stand around in nearly complete saftey and wait for things to die. And they will die. Sooner or later. The Magi have been dying in one hit since Act II Nightmare, and wether it's 70 damage or 700 they still do their job.
The only thing I absolutely MUST Bone Spear are Poison Immunes.
Which brings up a question I have. I'm curious what you mean by "
Is Bone Spear influenced by the creatures defense value? I thought it was a magical attack that did flat listed damage, modified by resists. And as far as I know, positive resists take out their chunk no matter which way you dish it. Wouldn't two 200 damage Bone Spears do the same as one 400 damage Bone Spirit against 75% resistance? (Not counting their individual merits)
Either way it's time to start a more fun build!
Oh, my Girlfriend has a question. How often does Vengance shatter bodies?
She's looking to combo Vengance with Redemption and a high defense as a form of passive crowd control just by outlasting them! (One or two swings, kill, +120 Life and Mana)

Quote:True it inflicts incredible damage to the unwary and espeicially the ones with low defence and health, its damage is greatly reduced when facing off with one super powered monster (especially one with lots of defence and magical resistance)."
