Status Skadi Build

[Subvaries]

Trying to make a build using Untapped Potential and Mythology talents with Command of the Five elements gloves. Seems almost impossible to get it to work on 50+. Status damage just seems to have low damage, no to mention the ramp up time. I am using mainly Luck gear with attack speed.

Gods are a bit questionable. Mort seems required, Leigong seems nice for his additional attacks, unsure about the 3rd. Summer has a nice attack speed buff, but Lady justice seems almost required to survive.

Anyone had any success with this kind of build?

Leigong is no good for status ailments. Krom is pretty much a must for this.

I'm apparently 500hrs into this game. Pretty sure I left it logged in overnight more than once... *cough*

I try different builds, sometimes based entirely around unique items... but I just can't find a way to make Skadi good.

Only good use I've found for Status is Nixi with Scorpion...

try the advanced +200% something route + speed scaling and crank up your speed (as much as you just can, no matter the cost, feel free to use a tier1 stuff if that gives you better speed) and some cast damage good to have too + advanced find (there is an unique ring work for this Skadi path to support just that + that blue belt). Roll on the first blessing War's Blades. Then play the game to run away from the blades by making circles around the mobs. You will find a way to pull behind you them and you will see wonders. Pick all other blessings to get more speed and more health and keep up the blades too but be careful don't upgrade them in rarity, keep it advanced (later time even that not important, just don't let them get you). What I found is really good as next blessing is Justice's dash wing (+speed after dash) and Winter's icewalk (+ speed) and Time's pull in XP skill. You barely need anything else. Good to have some other winter skill, no need attacks, strikes as you not attacking just running away from your blades, as long as you not catching them to throw them again they keep scaling insanely doing millions of DMG/sec (if you managed to keep some of the really first one they will kill even the Gin by just touching it). It need time to find a good way to control the blades but it can do you D100 even.

Ninh, Mort, Winter seems like an obvious combo. Malady from Mort is your build enabler, Ninh increases attack area, which is a must on attack-based build, Winter has status buffs and carries all of your defensive stuff with her freeze.

Skadi's status build is so much fun but it only works on low levels of darkness. It just doesn't scale at all and will be a dead branch on the skill tree once you up your darkness.
