TROLL builds??

[daxescomando]

so i wanted to plAY WITH healer in front healing him self but dont work OH 3 dps with atack speed BUT ALWAYS needed it for a tank, This game is based on a certain construction to be able to pass it and the constructions that we invent is NOT ALLOWED? i know alot of ROGUELIKE games who u can build sexy monster trolls builds and u wll get fun wit out doing the same BUILD OVER AND OVER again. ROGUELIKE!! , even in league of legends u can play a mage class and make of him LIKE A TANK!!.

I like this game alot but the more i play i find out there is 1 o 2 ways to pass this game same builds over and ova again.

I think one of the best tanks in the game is a healer... try bloodmage + 2 red orbs + ancient codex (must be upgraded at least once) + saints vow... you have one spot free, i usually do something like plate of the fallen if you are using him in act 3 but any other defensive item should work... he will tank damage, get below half then instantly heal to full from active. with saints vow if he lives past the start of the fight (thats why I use plate of the fallen) he gets so much hp from saints vow he is unkillable.

I mean thats his point you can only use certain guys in certain spots to be successful for the most part lol. I would like to see some expansion of characters and maybe a simple skill tree to make them even more unique and interchangeable (rather than just leveling up 2 attacks) in the prequel

thinking about Risk of Rain, I agree even just a selection between 2 different abilities and/or 2 different passives for each character would be a complete game changer.

Play Trundle Mid in League of Legends. Best Astronarch Troll build: Tank with Outlaw, next target Fiend, then Druid. Its not troll, i know. And its not as strong as mainstream holy trinity: Juggernaut, Cleric, Thief.

0 Ascension but I just won with blood mage, cleric, bard, druid, the fallen. Basically the closest I could be to a healer only party. All mini-bosses slain. Was fun.

You can beat C20 with a team that has no healer, you can beat C20 with a team that is all healers too. You can beat c20 with practically any team. Maybe not consistently but def possible. The only requirement for a team to be viable at higher corruptions is 1 tank to absorb damage, that is it. You need one hero that can take hits, literally anything behind that can work. I have not managed to beat more than C12 or 13 with a team that has no tank ie no hero with more than 30 base def, no fiend or outlaw.

I believe corruption 20 is possible with any 5 heroes. If you need to win every run, sure go druid, assassin, frostmancer, warlock and fallen, but all possible combinations can win. I've done theme teams. used all the heroes with crowd control, all the healers, no healers, the 5 heroes with the lowest hp and def, the 5 heroes that are subjectively the worst at their roles, all the heroes that hide and many other combinations that only make sense from a thematic stand point rather than roll or synergy and won, not always on the first try but i found my losses encouraging and I've always gotten the win in the end.

Bloodmage with Crown of the Banshee, Headdress of Fury, Ancient Codex.

Bloodmage goes down to 0hp. Codex triggers letting him spam his ability, Headdress gives + 36 atk every proc and Crown stops him from dying for 15secs. After awhile each ability is doing multiple thousands of damage.

interesting combo. I've never given much interest to the crown. does it do enough damage to make up for him being dead after the 15 seconds?

yes it's insane. Everything will be dead long before the 15 seconds is up.

I generally play C20 with an all random team. I'm used to losing when I don't roll a tank, but I won today with cleric as my front man, haha.

I was running Saints Vow, Vampiric Guard, and Ancient Codex. It was dope.

I just did an Omen of Death run while specifically trying to get the achievement for not proccing doom. My preferred comp is very heal/shield centric to give scaling items enough time to get online for DPS, so I tried a CC-based comp as another way to keep people alive. It turns out that with upgraded potions, sticking an upgraded Ancient Codex on a fully-upgraded Juggernaut lets him clear most of the room by using Holy Water as soon as he gets down to <=50%. When I got to the final boss it was my fully decked out (all abilities and items upgraded) Brawler at the back with Warlord's Burden (to instantly proc Ancient Codex) + Headdress of Fury who ended up doing 84% of the total damage, ending the fight in just a few seconds lol, with the next highest damage being 5%.

I also tried experimenting in a different run with Ancient Codex for Cleric self-heal-tanking (which someone else also mentioned) and it's pretty decent once the Codex is upgraded as long you don't try to make it work against stun/silence and watch out for overwhelming high burst damage.

One run I tried using "secondary" healing sources as my only healing - a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of minor blessings, Brain Sage, etc. Combined with items that help at low HP it was pretty fun to have my frontline become virtually invulnerable to non-burst damage.
