When the hellforge kindly dropped a Gul, my thoughts turned to Kingslayer for my druid. I made Kingslayer in a superior phase blade. My druid soon learned that he could not use vengeance in wereform (though he could get a six frame attack).
Having thought about which classes could best make use of the vengeance from Kingslayer, a sorceress seems most obvious. I will probably make a sorecess to use Kingslayer, as I enjoy melee sorceresses. My build, if I do it, will be a little different:
I plan to max all three masteries as soon as possible, putting some points into one or more of the cold armors. No enchant, no warmth. I may reconsider warmth if mana for vengeance really is a problem. I will try vulpine items first.
Of course I have nothing against enchant. My first ladder character maxed enchant and warmth and fire mastery. I plan to ask her to enchant her sister.
To complement Kingslayer I plan to use Medusa's Gaze. It does not seem practical to have dexterity high enough to obtain satisfactory blocking though, considering the strength requirement. She may end up a defiant. I have used a blessed aim mercenary before, and defiance should be interesting. Medusa's Gaze should be able to break any ordinary monster's fire resistance.
Too bad phase blades look so hideous.
