Lady Katarina build? (Heroic difficulty)

[Rontemon]

I am using a melee build going pure body. Bash, Cleave and getting flow and earthquake later.

What would be a good build for Katarina? She seems to be doing well right now as a ranged or melee without dying too much. Will it still be possible for her to survive later on in the game?

Yeah, I like to train Katarina to a pure Body build as well. You can hit 3k HP with the right skill set also improving your Damage and attack speed or gain Life steal.

Full Body makes her a great tank for the AM/spiders build.

She can make a decent build full Luck and either ranged (set as Defend for a melee char?) or an exploding tank with Assist on a ranged char.

She's very versatile, especially with her Blue Blood DLC.

I meant I went as a full body melee for my character.

My katarina is currently running full luck. I am thinking the extra MF% from her luck stat will help?

Should I just keep her in ghost form with full luck?

She have the skill which increases attack speed and weapon damage for van helsing, are those helpful?

Much depends on your playing style - if she's set as ghost, you don't need to watch out for her so much, just keep her potted up. Full Luck gives her a high Dodge rate, she'll be pretty strong fighting with you but you will need to watch out for AOE mobs that cause you both massive damage, sometimes better to set her to ranged and Defend (or Assist) then.

Attack speed and weapon damage for VH are both good skills to increase.

Most of my builds are full Luck/high Magic find, both for VH and Lady K., you don't (usually) kill so fast but I think it teaches you a lot about how you can use Lady K.
