Hey. I'm trying one out myself in 1.1s, though my plans are slightly different than yours. (I'm guessing you're talking about the beta.)
re: Charged strike.
>The skill ALWAYS HITS, so having steal mana, prevent monster heal, extra elemental damage is recommended.
The -always hits- part is what I'm really interested in. So far I only have an -act 5 clvl 33 test Charged Striker. And I'm hoping to find out soon what other ancillary effect can CStrike deliver. Eg: Crushing blow, monster flee, open wounds etc.
What I was curious about, will the physical damage part of Charge Strike still go through. Kind of hard to tell from the Lying Character screen at the moment, my question is if I have a high physical damage spear, will Charge Strike still do damage to a Lightning Immune monster.
If it does what I'm hoping it does, I might just pump STR up to 101 for a Yari. Leave DEX at a low number, and rely on the always hit quality of CStrike. And wear some +Mana items for mana regeneration instead of leech. The rest of my points will probably go to VIT.
