Ice/Stone Patience Build

Plusone · 12-07-2009 04:08 PM

Ok,
I've sometimes got a weird play style. I solo and am not concerned too much with speed killing. I made an Ice Armor/Stone Melee Build designed to jump into the middle of a big mob and stand there until his damage procs and Icicles kill everything nearby. I know its odd, but it lets me multitask real life and gaming more easily. I have slotted primarily for regen to compensate for skipping HoarFrost. I was wondering if anyone had any advice to give me on my build. Is Ice the best option for this or should i be looking at something else, Dark Armor had some nice potential in Mids but I wasnt sure how to get over the defense holes.

Tell me whatya think.

You've got odd slotting choices. One thing I'd change for sure is Tremor, slotting it for maximum accuracy, damage and recharge. A PBAoE on auto is great to have while AFK.
