Would this build work on softcore as a FULL out rarity find character, im talking rarity/quantity find stuff on every single slot except weapons/shield and chest

With this gear would it also work on 76+ maps?(the solo variation)

You would need to go for a lowlife build to benefit from wanderlust aswell

Exactly what I am thinking.

The slow kill speed just makes it not that attractive as a rarity/quantity character IMHO. In groups you won't get the killing blow most of the time, and in solo play you'll just be too slow at killing.

A pure summoner kills faster, with less gear dependence. IMHO if you're looking to do a rarity/quantity character for solo play, pure summoner is the answer. If you want to go dual totem for it, go EK, pulse, or spork, for higher kill speed.

Low life will work I guess, if you use shavaronne's, or if you don't mind dying a bit and spamming frost wall a lot.

First off, I'd like to thank hypershatter for creating such a great guide. I made 2 mistakes of characters before finding this great guide. Thanks for all the helpful information.

To give back, I thought I'd share my dual totem ice spear experience, focusing on late game.

While progressing through Merciless, I tried running spectre's, but they just werent my thing. I ended up playing purely ice spear as support in groups. Once I was able to, I ran with MF gear (aurseize, goldwyrm, MF rings, eye of Chayula). The play style as such was dropping totems and avoid getting hit. Eye of Chayula is VERY helpful in this regard. I followed the same colors as hypershatter's build, but switched reduced mana for increase quantity in the 5L.

I've always felt that this build was more support than anything else.

At this point I was running approx:
5k ES
460 sheet dps
78% resists

*Used skeletons as meat shields
*Used conversion traps on tough mob packs
*Stopped using Bear traps and switched to Fire Trap + Fire Penetration + Concentrated Effect

I've since switched from CI to low-life build, and I'm definitely no longer purely support:
Level 80
4.2k ES
1100 sheet dps
73 to 78% for my resists
-36% Chaos resist (working on this now)

*running haste, purity, clarity, discipline, and righteous fire.

My Items:



My Build:

merciless act 2 now, still waiting to get CI, only 1.4k ES with aura, first char crappy gear hopefully by lv 70 i can feel OP

Any idea if the new unique armor that allows for 3 totems changes this build? I just don't like the idea of it having a low es (approx 200-300) from what i have seen.

Nice builds!

amazing build!

just showing off my current gear

What's the point of Shavaronne's if you're not using righteous fire, and not using any low life gear? You could trade Shavaronne's for a much higher ES chest, run CI, and be much better off - or you could build around Shavaronne's. Using Shavaronne's without building around it seems silly, it is just a way over-priced, mediocre ES chest if you aren't exploiting the chaos bit.

I did not read all the others post so I dont know if someone caught this.

But on the skelly wall solo option.

1 point into MI will more then pay for it's self. Seeing how you dont have to go out of your way for it and it will up your dps by a good margen I thought I would point that out.
