Some really superb points here, all.
I've been playing a cleric with my wife.. now hold on, I have a point to this! :) .. and haven't had much time to level my shock trooper. So I decided to cut a few corners here and there and just cheaply bump him up some levels to see how he'd look at higher levels.
He's now in the 50's I think, has maxed Resist Lightning, maxed Holy Shock, a point in Vengance and Holy Shield and is on his way to maxing Fist of the Heavens. I'm beginning to wonder if Holy Shock's synergy to FOTH is really 7%, because the damage jumps between points seem absurdly huge. Next level i'll actually write down the before and after FOTH lightning damage and exercise the part of my brain supposedly devoted to math.
The Boneslayer Blade idea is awesome, and would suit this character really well.
I've been dreaming about an Um rune, hoping I would be able to build a Crescent Moon phase blade. It would be just about perfect for this guy, as it would bump the damage of Holy Shock. I wonder if Crescent Moon would make Fist even more damaging?
Oh well. Wait and see, I suppose. Unfortunately, Crescent Moon doesn't work in bows. Then again, that's probably a good thing, I can't imagine how unfair it would be in the hands of an Amazon with Multishot.
