As usual a few things I forgot to mention... The skill setup has enough overlap with the group-play spec I had before respeccing to the point that if you wanted to save one of your respecs you could easily go straight for this spec if you have a group to play through the game with. Early trav: - You can make a prismatic 16-20 res amulet using a magic amulet + one of each perfect gem (excluding skull) - Taunt as quickly as possibly to prevent too many hydras getting spawned - Stats; I put enough dex to get ~50% block with Rhyme that way I still have a decent lifepool and I dont have wasted stats in dex if I get a higher block% shield like Whitstans or a craft - You wanna replace the merc chest with the new Hustle runeword or Lionheart as soon as its feasible to do so to boost his damage output significantly - Initially if youre struggling and running out of rejuvs just do some eldritch runs to re-stock Endgame warcry: HotO is a perfectly viable choice if you have enough FCR corruptions but the moment youre giving up 1 skill on ring or amulet to reach breakpoint I think its just worse than the other options

Awesome love ur vids

[@brood1807]

ChaosSanctuary Your videos are awesome. Well made, very in depth, it helps people play through the game easily, compared to most build guide, keep up the work my man. Earn a subscribe from me for sure we need more people in PD2 this will help.

Awsome vid mate keep it up! Almost makes me want to try HC

[@TraderMate]

great content man

[@MrJosa82]

Good content but please if you show items don’t do this epileptic hovering. I hate it so much!

[@witchessecret]

I would go for 2 Eth Doom's for the hp bonus :) and it has insane dd if you get 2 eth ones with some socket corupts. The hp for a mele toon without block chance is a bit low for me for HC especially a mele one for end game t3 maps

[@opperjosco]

what do you do with all the gold you find from trav runs ?

[@ChaosSanctuary]

It depends. I typically just stack up on orbs for map rerolling that I will need eventually anyway but you could try to gamble +3 classtab amulets and attempt to slam CBF or +1 on those for trade value.

[@opperjosco]

@@ChaosSanctuary thx

[@ChaosSanctuary]

@@opperjoscoIt is worth noting that gambling isnt very profitable since it takes significant time away from actually farming so I very rarely bother. For that reason I also dont particularly try to make the goldfind stat a priority in those early trav runs

[@MrDarkBM]

You going to do a sin one?

[@ChaosSanctuary]

Yes I will have all 7 classes done before new ladder season begins on friday 22nd, druid will be up today or tomorrow, then sin and finally necro
