[DeadFire666]

Anybody got some tactics for the Shield Maidens Shield Bash quest?
Equipment, Abilities and such...

Spam the wall in act 3 for damage quests

[Valen]

literally the exact same strategy as every other damage quest in the game it's not rocket science

[koza]

3 million damage with shield bash is almost impossible

you stack as much blockstrength on your gear as you can manage idealy ALOT of it so that envolves you having access to the items that grant it, then take for example lighting stuff you dont wanna bother with normal mobs much and head towards the trusted ghost wall there shieldbash the crap out of poor ghosts until it is done

You can also apply tons of debuffs to the ghosts to ensure you reach the 3M target.

Just to confirm, higher block strength yields higher shield bash damage, correct? I had this suspicion, but I wasn't certain. I just had a pretty decent run, but I only got 2.1M bash damage.

Jup the more block strenght the better.
I am not certain but i believe shield bash can not crit, atleast i did a run with bash only and never saw a crit even with picking up crit + ring.

I did it on the second map, max possible block power equip, even with the boots that give +10 while moving.
pumping move speed, range, area, dmg, pickup, defense, regen, health.
I was pretty fast maxed out, due to not using any ability.

Good Luck!

The same approach with 3 million damage with Golem?

This i did on map 3 with Warlock, max increase in summon damage, avoiding roll lvl ups as much as possible and hugging the ghost wall.

Probably with current patch doable with same method as above.
Maybe you can combine the shield bash with golem.

It worked! Now how to get my cleric not to regen health....

[Ulyaoth]

Dont use the cleric XD

use Warlock or Sorceress, both have zero base regen.
Make sure you have nothing on you that increase regen.
Things like Bloodsoaked Shirt are allowed, but no metabolism.

Or never get hit in the run, this works to, because natural regeneration will only start if you get hit.

Good luck!

Got it thanks!

[Ulyaoth]

Yo welcome GG

its kinda stupid, since u have a base regen of 0.5/s. for that challenge u gotta just not take dmg for 20 min, i did it in the first zone, invest into cone AOE/attacks/attack speed, the hardest part is not getting hit by the purple skulls attacks from the mages, so instead of auto aim i aimed myself to kill those guys and got a huge aoe radiance aura to deal with anyone who ran in.

TBH I think I got them done by just playing max block strength build and grabbing no abilities. Do it on the first map. Didnt need to do anything special
