Greetings, fellow defenders. I have reactivated after a four-year absence, and need your advice as to how I should rebuild my seriously out-dated D3.
Back in my heyday, HOs were dropping like rain (at least one a day for several months), so I have enough between my 50s to put together the build below...Question is, should I? The alternative is to put the HOs on the market and use the income to acquire some IO sets. Some pros and cons for the HO build:
Pros:
-- I can make this build NOW. I have enough inf stashed away that picking up the common IOs I need to pad it out will be cake. Getting the IO sets that I want will take forever at auction.
-- Two nucleolus, for example, will provide a larger buff than 1 dam & 1 acc IO (66% to each vs. 42.4% to each) using the same number of slots.
Cons:
-- Missing out on a ton of set bonuses. Particularly recharge, which I want for stacking Tar Patch, among other things.
Note that this toon was an AV-killer that relied a lot on HT for the -regen and stacked PG to keep them in place. Blackstar is just there for fun
So, friends, what would YOU do in my position? Here's the HO build I came up with (slot levels are arbitrary):
