Medic Equip Sugg Plz

[Willund]

What equipment do you recommend to get really high defensive aura bonuses?
Thx!

 

[Oprah]

exile. it had like 1k defence and it had a lvl 13-16 defiance aura when equiped. For armor fort gives good defence

 

[Carbon]

eth exile is good
aswell as ebug stone...that defense can get up in the 35k-40k realm.
griswold set is best equip for a medic

 

[Oprah]

rly? griz set if the best 4 a medic

 

[Nedr(a)h]

I dont know about griz set being the best but yes it does give some good set mods but ne high def skill gear is what your looking for. Like a basic hamdin set up but with items giving alot of def since you wont be leeching. Redemption skill is excellent to put 1 point into as well to help with your life mana.

 

[Willund]

Reason I ask is because Prayer (through Meditation) heals too slow and too little @ 25 per 2 sec in late NM and Hell. I have seen some people boosting their skill count to high 30's/ lower 40's, so I just want to get that particular aura as high as possible. Not too worried about defense, will just sit back and FOH and "Ranger" alot.

 

[[Berious]]

Well if you can get your prayer high enough it can heal up words of 100 hp per 2 sec. Basically you can use commonsense caster gear or through it all in..

Shako
Enigma
Hoz
+3 defensive aura Scepter(those spawn...I believe?)
Spidermesh
2 soj or Bk
+3 defensive aura ammy(or a 2 pally skill poss +def aura rare...if you have it laying around ::rolls eyes:
9 defensive aura charms.
Anni
Torch.
---------
thats +28 to skills alone there.

You could use the throw it all in method.
+3 def circ
+3 def shield
+3 def scept
+3 def ammy
Enig
sojs
spider
9 charm
anni
torch
-------
thats +30, though you loose life/res/mana...

at lvl 49 it heals 104 per 2sec.
and meditation heals 1500

and as for HB and FOH
Switch up teh Defensive for some Combat...depends on your choice of play.

Holy Bolt Can do 792 Possible heal at lvl 49 (also does 17661 magic dmg to the undead)
Foh can do 6024 w/ shock maxed

but yes...there you go if you want.

 

[Willund]

Thats exactly what i wanted - AWESOME - thanks!

 

[Oprah]

y would u wana make a medic??

 

[Willund]

Sometimes its fun helping others instead of being the hot dog. Its a different way instead of being cookie-cutter, and would earn respect.... I think ppl would want to have me along to keep them from dying (keeping a +1525 mana heal/+107 life heal per 2 seconds aura on all the time, firing a Faith xbow, nuking occasionally with FOH which would heal as well). I like the meta of it as well..... just think..... a truly "angelic/sent from the heavens" type paladin, instead of your basic warrior. My Pal's name for this build is Divine_Emissary. It would be an awesome rusher too.

 

[Oprah]

o....that dosent sound too fun to me but i guess it has to b tha person

 

[Willund]

Not that I NEED to convince you or anything, but heres some damage stats for this build with the above suggested equipment:

Holy Shock - adds 1-9838 to your attack, 4-1639 aura dmg for 28 yards
Smite Dmg +390%
Holy Bolt 558-634 to undead, heals 612-1255 per bolt
Zeal +290% att, +462% dmg
Vengeance +480% lightning dmg (think about it with the holy shock above with Zeal on top)
Holy Shield +790% def bonus
FOH - Holy Bolt Dmg 8862-8932
Lightning Bolt Dmg 8052-8235
Then not to mention all the healing skills I previously mentioned. I think its pretty well-rounded.

 

[[Berious]]

How do those statistics affect a Cleric?
also, Holy bolt cant get up into the 1255 healing area, the highest skill levels you can get are near 50...and Holy bolt barely hits 800 heal around there.
Hate to burst your bubble...but your post was not only random...but im Questioning your sources of this information.

 

[Pale_Horse]

Actually Medic Pallys are really useful in HC games. Everyone loves a good medic in hell baal.

 

[[Berious]]

O, dont get me wrong. I use a BattlePriest of sorts...and I definetly love the Cleric build. It pretty much has to be my faviorte build I have made so far, with a Bladesin coming in at a close second place.

Im rather poor...persay, but this is how my Battle-priest is setup.

GgK-Spork
lvl 85 Pally
Stats with gear:
Str: 192
Dex: 179
Vit: 304
Energy: 22
Life: 1169
Mana: 458

Skills with gear:
Defensive tree:
Prayer: 28
Definace: 9
clensing: 9
Meditation: 10
Vigor: 9
Redemption: 9
Salvation: 12

Offensive Tree:
9 in all
Fanat: 18

Combat Tree:
sac: 9
Smite: 10
Charge: 9
Holy bolt: 28
Zeal: 11
holy Shield: 28

Its very obvious that its a very scattered build. But I can tackle normal and Nm with no problem...and I can do fairly well throughout hell.

Gear:
Andys Visage
Azure Wrath
Skins of Viper
Spirit Monarch
Frostys
Ravens
Rare Ammy (+2 pally +19 str +34% cold res)
Waterwalks
Iks Belt
Few Str,dex,res charms

Holy Bolt Heals 220-456 health
I heal 41 life per 2 secs. with 525% mana recov.
MY Zeal does about 2000 dmg with decent Ar.
I also have a 1000 dmg smite...if its needed to hit through Def of some kind...who knows.

All around, its a rough and horribly-planned charactar...but even with its midlvl heal, and semi-effective melee, Party members I meet are glad to have me aboard. I definetly recommend this build

 

[Oprah]

umm berious wut is a bladesin? lol

 

[[Berious]]

Um teh Bladesin...ive seen it called a furysin...ninjasin...

its basically an assassin that uses high dmg of all sorts, Crushing blow, open wounds and the blade fury skill as the main attack. They are really fun to play, if you cant tell im into those not-so-popular charactars ^_~

But yeah, Bladesins are fun...you should try one. Just stack CB, OW, and elemental dmg basically. Use like a Cresent moon(think thats the name?) Runeword in like a Cryptic sword...it gives nice mods (including Static/atk which is useful) and basically max out teh basics...theres alot of customizability in the build(it only really requires 2 or 3 skills. and 1 only takes 4 total pts..

20 Venom
1-20 Shadow master (for possible tank.)
1 Blade fury
10 BOS
9 Preq
----------
thats 40-59 pts. (meaning that you can technically max out the basic build before you even get to hell baal, ^_^)

Ive heard of people adding in Cloak of shadows and Deth sentry...it sounds like itd be intresting...maybe give it a try?

 

[Carbon]

I still like griz....my friend had 1 and filled it with um runes and 5/5 light facets...he was really good

 

[[Berious]]

Well teh Um/light facets would work great if you used FOH...but if not, then I guess teh Um runes would be quite helpful...I dont know about teh complete effectiveness in HB and other skills damage//heal though...

 

[Willund]

FYI I got the calculations above by using a skill planner ( www.d2skills.com ). But I may have made an error - I will check my figures again....

Heavens Light Scept +3 all
Seraph's Hymn ammy +2 all, +2 def
Gaurdian Angel +1 all
BK's +2 all
Arachnid Mesh +1 all
+9 def charms (although I may not actually use nine - probly 6)
Annihilus +1 all
HF Torch +3 all

Skill Allotment (number in parenthesis is after equip bonuses)
Prayer - 20 (49)
Defiance - 1 (30)
Cleansing - 1 (30)

___________________
total = 108

So the figures I gave before have slightly changed,
"Holy bolt cant get up into the 1255 healing area, the highest skill levels you can get are near 50...and Holy bolt barely hits 800 heal around there."
....but the heal on h-bolt @ lvl 32 still heals 526-1085. I had it at lvl 37-38 before, I cant remember for sure.

Ta-Da! My Build! Now all I have to do is kill Tyrael for his wings.....
