BFH's Super Medic Guide​

The entire purpose of this medic is to sacrifice actual combat abilities, to the purpose of gaining quicker healing.

Do note: With enough +skills this build would actually heal double what the standard medic would heal, with the added bonus of reducing poison and curse duration by at least 87%.

With all that said, if you want a build where you, yourself, can actually solo enemies... You're looking in the wrong place.

Pvp guide:​

What are you doing pvping people with this build?! If you MUST just stand to one side, and heal somebody and try not to get yourself killed.

Equipment​

Helm - +3 defensive circlet, with two sockets (Filled with two Perfect Rubies)
Amulet - Seraph's Hymn
Rings - Two sojs
Gloves - magefist
Boots - Sandstorm Trek
Belt - Arachnid Mesh
Armour: Ring Mail Enigma
Weapon - Level 17 Meditation Archon Staff Insight

Back-up:​

Cta,
Spirit shield.

Charms:​

Hellfire torch,
annihilus,
lots of +1 defensive aura gcs,
Rest should be +life, +mana scs until you have a full inventory.

Mercenary (prayer):
Gaze, socketed with shael,
Pride Giant Thresher (Level 20 aura, preferred),
Fortitude

Pride adds concentration [nice bonus to your party and the merc], gaze adds double leach and fortitude? Adds defense, frozen armour chance on struck, and more damage.

Skill distribution:​

Prayer: 20
Cleansing: 20
Holy Bolt: 20
^ That's 60 skills. What to do with the other 40?
20 Foth,
20 blessed hammer,
Rest into Defiance (In case of emergency)

Stat Distribution:​

Everything goes into vitality. (Low req's all around )
This char will pump out thousands of damage vs undead, heal allies via three healing auras, and otherwise support with a level 20 concentration (In case there isn't a hammerdin [Yeah, right])

Self Defense:​

If you ever need to defend yourself it all depends on what type of monster you are up against.

Undead - Holy bolt
magic immune (that isn't demon or undead) - let your merc take care of it
Anything else - Hammer

Your merc will have your concentration aura (For the hammer damage) and you will hopefully pull through.

Enjoy,
BFH

Sounds cool. Wouldn't mind having you around on the baal runs .

Correct your belt.

Doesn't 2x PRuby beat 2x io rune in circlet?

1. was a messup he will fix it
2. synergy
3. If im right + to life?

Good Job, nicely done. Better then my guide. (Damn you)

 

[Laharl]

Io runes add +10 vitality.
P ruby adds 38 health. A tad bit more.
Note: Assuming that paladins get 3 hp / vitality.

Replaced.

 

[Pains Requiem]

Make the medic, and then hire yourself as a mercenary to heal people during Baal runs

Get a few items or gold, or whatever.

I did that in 1.10 ladder season on HC. Got some nice items for doing it.

 

[Laharl]

I'm trying to figure out a way to improve it further. Any advice (private messages preferred) would be appreciated.

Thanks.

hmmm, is there any REAL need for this build? Will it keep ur party alive in Hell baal runs nicley or somewhat? I dont wanna waste my time to make it if it isnt gonna be worth it.

 

[Willund]

GoD - my highest lvl chr right now is a medic and it is the funnest ever (I have 24 chrs). But it is definatly an aquired taste, I wouldnt think its for everyone.

Homo - You posted somewhere else that this build would get +166/2 sec on the synergy heal, how is that possible? Meditation and Cleansing both heal at the same rate - whatever Prayer is, through the synergy. I know you prefer Cleansing and I prefer Meditation, but Cleansing does not add any "bonus" over Meditation, so do you get it so high? My +skills (def) from what I am wearing are:
Helm: +2 (I know I could get it +3)
Armor: +1 (I know I could get it +3)
Ammy: +4
Ring1: +1
Ring2: +1
Belt: +1
Weap: +3
Shield: +4
Torch: +3
Anni: +1
9 def gc's: +9
_____________
total = 30

Prayer maxed +30 gives 107 life heal/2 sec, and that is just about maxed (like I said i know I can still add a couple points). So how in hell mode do you get it so high?????????

 

[Laharl]

How? This build uses both cleansing AND meditation. (Meditation is from insight). They both get the synargies from prayer.
