Enjoying this build yet again Wrecker. Playing HCSSF as usual, level 83 currently. Hoping to advance past the last one that died at 91....Had a couple close calls, but cruising overall. A matter of time, I play 100% legit, take my deaths, just hope they go out on a tough boss versus technical issues or stupid stuff like playing while drowsy......fingers crossed for 92.

Dead at 85 due to my own over confidence, build was crushing before zipping through a doorway like Rambo.....got a bunch of nice drops, very productive before her demise......back at it, same build.

Hey Smallville0608!

Oh no! That sucks. I can't handle HC. It's not for me. How you can simply go and do the levelling process again is nuts ;). Good for you!

I'm glad you're liking the build and that it's treating you well. I'm always up for HC feedback if you're ever in the mood.

Thanks again for your kind words. Nice to see you.

Everything feels more meaningful in SSFHC, and the adrenaline rush is what keeps me going. Knowing I can be melted at any moment, especially going into a boss fight is a feeling I never want to lose. I do have a standard SSF character I want to level to learn some boss fights, but I made her last year and still not into maps, I get bored knowing I cannot truly die. I hate regular standard, but recently have been playing it because I have a friend I just got back into the game again. He only had played HC but quit after too many deaths, never made it to maps, so I play standard to keep him invested in the game once or twice a week.

Also, so far when I have died in HC it was generally a mistake on my part, or unfamiliarity with a fight. At least up to 91, and into red maps, I was generally cruising. Hope to push higher, see what it can handle or find out if I hit a wall in HC.

Hi, again ;-)
You said that You want to add summon holy relic but it has "Minions cannot Taunt Enemies". It's not good isn't it?

BONE ZOMBIES
Hey macbigos!

I currently am playing with the Relic in place of the CwDT gem linked to our golem. To me, the best part of the Relic is the life regen every time we hit with Shield Charge. The fact that it can't taunt isn't a big deal because all of our zombies are taunting. That's plenty for survivability.

Would it be better to use

for the build? Thanks.

Nice finds Pope_of_Chickens!

Nice work! In regards to the jewels, our zombies can't do any damage except for physical. So adding any other type of damage to the build is a waste. So only the Attack Speed matters in those jewels. The only minion skill we use is Bone Armour (from the ascendancy). If you use that skill, then you'll get the benefits from "using a minion skill recently" which then makes the jewel choice much easier.

Look at you Smallville0608! Taking one for the team to keep GGG alive in the hearts of your friends :). Good for you! I hope they stick around!

That's cool, the reason for your HC preference. That mentality really interests me too. I wonder if I'll ever get there. I appreciate you sharing it.

Thanks again! Great feedback there too! I hope you get past 91 as well! Good luck!

Why do we use the node "Enduring Bond" on the tree?

Thank You for your explanation. I thought this applied to all our minions and not just Holy Relic himself.

Awesome question Suzuli!

I have a note to add this to the guide. Using Bone Armour from Bone Barrier counts as using a minion skill; Bone Armour has a "minion" tag.

BUT! That is our only "active" minion skill. So if you don't use it at all outside of being a passive skill, that 4-node cluster could be spent anywhere else.

Hey Kingx!

Welcome back! Nice to see you!

If only the game helped you understand hey? Their tutorial section lacks a bit.

I don't have any links for you, sorry. Have you played with the Conquerors? Or is it just Maven that you're missing out on?
