^ I'm not quite sure how you got to those numbers.. care to explain?
Hmm.. i'll think about it maybe figure it out myself?
Maxed Shadow Warrior, maxed FB, maxed CBS, maxed LS, 1 pt in DS, CoS, MB etc. Notably, you should put 1 point in WoF and WoI as well.
Fire Blast on LMB and flip between CBS, DS, SWeb (for burn in) and Lightning Sentry (for actual use) on the right.
Assuming you cast the SW with 2x +3 shadow claws, a +2 all tiara, a +2 all amulet and +2 Shadow Natalya's armor, that will generate a level 32 warrior who has a base level of 10 in all skills. A +1 Shadow gc will lift her to level 11, but let's assume you don't have one for now (I do *g*). You could bump it further with tree specific ammy and tiara but let's take a slightly more practical route.
If you then switch to 2x +3 trap claws, still including the +2 all tiara and +2 all amulet, you will be dropping your maxed traps at level 30, and death sentry at level 11. Your shadow will toss all of your maxed traps (fb, cbs, ls) at level 25 (10 base +15 your skills), and will drop level 10 shock web and level 10 death sentry. Of note, she will also drop level 10 WoI and WoF even though you only have one point in them.
This means she'll be using level 25 fire blast with the following applicable synergies once fully trained:
level 10 Shock Web
level 25 Charged Bolt Sentry
level 25 Lightning Sentry
level 10 Death Sentry
level 10 Wake of Fire
level 10 Wake of Inferno
Total: 90 x 9% = 810% fire damage :ph34r: :ph34r:
She'll also be using level 25 Lightning Sentry with the following applicable synergies once fully trained:
level 10 Shock Web
level 25 Charged Bolt Sentry
level 10 Death Sentry
Total: 45 x 12% = +540% lightning damage :ph34r:
Not counting any +skills she happens to roll on the magical tiara. :blink:
To quote keanu:
Woah.
Of course for this to work you would have to let her do all the trap laying. You could still throw FB's though. The good news is it would be ridiculously easy to train the Shadow Warrior in Act 1. Just walk around the cold plains, running through your traps on the right mouse button until she's cast them all. If she dies in combat you should immediately recast AND put charged bolt sentry on your right mouse button. As soon as she drops one (it'll be level 25) both FB and LS will have at least one working synergy and her performance should be greatly boosted.
Note: this same Shadow Warrior, at level 30, would easily hit it's resistance cap of 75%. Furthermore, it would have level 10 Weapon Block and level 10 Fade. You could EASILY make her invulnerable to elemental attacks by forcing her to cast fade, and level 10 Weapon Block isn't too shabby in terms of the physical either.
