I've started a chantress and am going for max thunder storm, partly because I've never done it before and partly because I think it's most fitting RP wise.

I was thinking that we kinda have a weird group.
I've seen several groups being formed, and there were always, like, four paladins (three hammer, one smite), three sorceresses (all cold) and one Barbarian (designated bo-bitch) Necromancers? For Nooblettes! Assassins? Weak! Druids? What? But we already have three cold sorceresses, what could we possibly need a druid for? Amazons? Meh, Javas are so out of vogue. But we have Three Necromancers - one of which I've only seen once :( IQ, Don't let the Necro Tribunal die. Three Druids - one of which I've only seen once :( TWG, Don't let the Druid Tribunal die. An Amazon - using a bow, awesome. A Paladin - Zealot, Not a hammerdin, weeee. A lightning sorceress - well, it's not a cold sorceress. An Assassin I've never seen - Well, most likely 'cause she's a ninja And now we have an enchantress. A build I've never seen outside of Hardcore. Going for thunderstorm, a skill that's generally decried as sucking hard by the... Kool Kidz (who're not so cool as we all know). Go NPF!

Sorry, but I remembered Sorceresses are much more fun to play. I've cast off my slave name and become Arcs. And maybe I'll play a little more in the immediate future than the two or so hours last week.
 Interesting to note is now that there's respecs, Charged Bolt is about the only spell worth considering in the beginning. It is the only lvl 1 skill of mass destruction and all. But I figure it'll be fire later on. Funny story: In the old days when immunities were newly minted it was held that a Sorceress needed three elements to solo properly. One build I liked was Meteor/Blizzard/Thunderstorm. They called it the "Weatherwoman" until someone (me) pointed out meteors aren't exactly weather. Now it's "Death from Above".

If you guys didn't have a weird group it wouldn't be fun, back in my megaguild back in the day we made the most minmaxed group ever, it took down EVERYTHING (Pand included) without runs, in seconds. the final stats were:
16 Auras on all the time, BO, inner sight, cursed and chanted: Mercs- Defiance Blessed Aim Holy Freeze + Meditation Prayer + Thorns Vigor + Inner Sight Sanctuary Might + Holy Shock Party- Concentration/Uuber Vigor Fanaticism/Uuber Defiance Conviction/More Holy Shock - Spirit of Barbs Heart of the Wolverine Oak Sage - Battle Orders + Battle Command + Shout + Offhand Demon Limb (Grants around level 16 Enchant) - Amplify Damage Minions were a dozen or so Skeles, 6-8 Mages, 10 or so revives, Golem, Bears, Wolves, Ravens and vines. Our powers were wind, hammers, fist of the heavens, WW+ Zerk, rabies, fury, corpse explosion and CB smite. So imagine this, all characters glowing white out of the gate due to stacked aura animations to the point where it was just a blob of glow around 50 units within a vortex of hurricane, swirling hammers, twisters shooting out of it with whirlwinding barbarian, all weapons on fire as 2 werewolves leap from the back and pounce on the demons followed by wave after wave of skeletal soldiers, all on fire. The very air turns ice cold and freezes and electrifies everything, undead are knocked back in awe by just looking at us and even the most stout barricades of hell crumble under the sheer weight of our presence. Good times, not very fun gameplay at that point though, heh. If you want to maximize a character or two, here's a tool: http://d2items.com/skills.php

So I get how my build is supposed to function now, but it seems the farther I go in difficulty the harder it is for me to do that. Basically I need to build up feral rage and maintain it, then hit a bunch with fury and essentially getting unlimited hp with mana and life leech (a good deal comes from feral, like 30% at the moment maxed).
I need AR though, so I can hit more (I miss a LOT), and some higher damage/mana leech. Any suggestions?

More Dex!
As far as actual items there are some charms with AR bonus attached to them, Circlet's can have some funny mods; I found one with over 100 to AR, etc. |

Yo, Lev, I kinda noticed some slight mistakes in your contact list in the opening post
Quote:
You can use the list I made if you want, or use it as a base for your own. I added Odjn and you, So it should be complete. The character it lists is only their main, though. No alts or mules. Quote:
EDIT2: Thanks IQ EDIT3: Turns out I completely forgot krogothwolf. Don't know his Account name, though. EDIT4: Thanks 01d55, I was kinda wondering.

Daddori is an assassin. Tiger Strike/Death Sentry build to be precise if I remember correctly.
