Dwarf Only PB?


Come Undone

 

Posted

Is it possible to make an effective scranker out of dwarf only PB? Dropping form to click buffs such as hasten and conserve energy is acceptable. Perhaps even dropping to click build up in an AV fight or something. I was just thinking that with IO bonuses and the incarnate slot it could be plausible, but I have zero PB experience so I really don't know where to start. Example builds and advice would be appreciated.

Playing around in Mids, it looks like you could create a somewhat playable Dwarf only build, but imo doesn't look nearly as good as something that were to leverage human form some more. Even just using human attacks as set mules they out damage dwarf attacks by a good amount.

Namely because you guys would want to color tint the damn doves, or make them hawks/ravens/flying sharks/etc and that's just a headache I do...not...want...to deal with.

Well then perhaps a human/dwarf melee focused build could work...I'll play around some more in Mids myself and post what I come up with.

Here's what I've come up with so far. I don't really like it, but I wanted to get a starting point. Honestly it looks a lot like human only would be more effective. However, I like the concept and look of being able to shift to dwarf form. It seems like it's possible to make dwarf a bit better.
