Dark Elf Bone Smasher

1.Skills
1:Blade Combat
2:Conrentration(these are defalut ones)
3:Trap lore(Give as many points you can here)
4:Ballistics(second skill you must put lots of points in)
5:Dual wield/ranged combat( depends if you like to shoot from distance or jump in the mellee)
6:Weapon lore
7:Disarming/Armor/Parrying/Agility (depends if you think you'll survive without good defence and resistances)
8:Trading/Armor/Parrying/Agility(depends if you think you'll survive without good defence and resistances)

2.Traps and CAs
Traps:
Battle fog and confustion to stun enemies .
Use Bottomles Pit and Poison mist for best dmg.clean up lots of enemies or one enemy(excluding dragons and similar guys)fast use Exposive Chadrge(on low lvls it looks like junk but it isn't)
Testosterone and Adrenaline to increase attack ,defence and poison dmg

CAs
Sudden Fury for sticky situations since it stuns and sends enemys back
Revenge if the enemy gets too close for traps
Paks to reflect arrows and spells (very useful in dryad forest)
Moongoose to escape from mobs / jump over trings
Soul Catcher to heal yourself


3.Attributes
Str(well,it's good for damage and if you get powerfull items like mine weapons it will be good)
Dex(gets you more defence and you can also do nice dmg with ranges weapons
Phys'Regen(for better hp and ca regem
M.Regen(nothing here)
Charisma(good to boost dmg from poison mist)
Endruance(get some points here for better res.)

4.Items
Armors
1Sets:Huron gives nice fire dmg , D'Brae'Sineltei gives a good dmg boost with the soul dmg,J'Dahn'Nielo if you decide to go ranged (gives some nice bonuses for melee too tho).Khrag if you fight more than use traps .Cordell if you do both .Bahamut gives a nice bonus to traps . For me ,if you use traps it's best to get the soul dmg bonus from Sineltei and the fire dmg bonus from Huron for best dmg
2Uniques:nightchild for melee , ice brackets for finding items and defence .hood of madness would be nice for a ranged de ( 93 ranged combat is super )
3Weapons:Deathbringer(gives a nice skill boost and drain life ) ,Thain's Axe of Flames ( for fire dmg ) ,Tree rage,blade of retaliation and breeze of death all give nice poison dmg.
most rings and amulets are nice so it depens on what you are going to do more

5.Dragon and other big bosses tactics
dragons are preety good for exp(use a mentor potion before killing them always)and have good drops
Strategy N1:you need to have a big lvl of BP(bottomless pit).place many pits near the dragon but not on him then use 1 BP on him and he ll go through the other pits.i kill them with like less than 10 pits that way
Startegy N2:now you need a big explozive charge lvl(and fast regeneration) hit the guy with charges and run away from meteros and fire breath.

Could you be a bit more specific on how many points to put in different attributes... and a tad more on the play style of the build? Looks like a great start though

[twisterroar]

well for those two stuff the play style is easykilling stunner and for atributes most dextiriti and Phys.regen. Charisma and str aren't that lifesavin so it's best to lvl em much only if you get much revenge and suddden fury(my revenge=6 SF=9)
oh and i forgot to add another CA-Soul Cather.use it if you are low on meds.as soon as i get higher lvl i might add some stuff.

[Night Ω Wolfe]

Okay well just edit your original post with any new info and what you just clarified... and when I think it is ready I will move it over to the build section. Thanks for donating a build BTW, we definitely don't have enough of them

[twisterroar]

edited what i had in mind and i ll probably edit [glow=red,2,300][/glow]soon[glow=red,2,300][/glow]kuz i didnt play sacred a long time

[Night Ω Wolfe]

Hehe okay well let me know when you are all done and happy with it... then I will move it to the builds section #thumbs1#

[moonreaper]

Hope you don't mind if I add some thoughts I had when I read this. First of all, Blade combat and concentration does not need to be default skills, just change the "default_skill 1" to "0" in the settings.cfg in the sacred folder.

Disarming and trading, you don't have to take both. You can buy alot of good dark elf weapons if you max out trade, and do remember that many hard opponents (like dragons, hell golems, sakkara demons) doesn't wear weapons.

About concentration, it's very usefull if you building a hybrid or a meleer, but a pure trapper has no use of concentration.

About confusion, you don't have to max it out, I can stun lvl 135 golems in valley of tears with a lvl 15 confusion, so this one is not a rune eater, however, enemies will not be able to be targeted now and then, so this trap can be a bit tricky, use poison mist+testo and cover the area so you can kill faster. And the cobra skill needs to get over lvl 1, otherwise you miss most of the time using it, I would recommend to get it over 8-10 atleast.

You miss with the revenge alot? All DE Ca's exept traps has a chance of missing, I can not recall that the Hard Hit (revenge) miss more then a multi hit. However, the lvl of your weapon can effect the HH, a lvl 25 weap is not so good against a lvl 50 enemie, the chance of missing is greatly reduced with a weapon of higher lvl.

Bahamut sucks? Can't go with you there, many Bahamut parts has great bonuses for weapon lore and blade combat, and the khrags judge (the blade) is a great weapon for melee DE's

And finally, about your BP trick against dragons, it's a good trick and I like t use it often, together with testo the BP kills real fast.

Once again, hope you don't mind me adding my thoughts, good luck.

[Night Ω Wolfe]

It is always great to get different opinions on things Thanks moonreaper!

[shasgaliel]

I will also add my thoughts here. I hope it is a correct place and you do not mind them. I just do not want to open a new topic for my possibly wrong impressions.

If he is a trapper then why not use the armor/ weapons with "drain life from opponent". Then mongoose and soul catcher are not really necessary cause the more opponents are placed on a given trap the more health they will donate. Saving runes on mongoose and soul catcher will allow to spent more on increasing the trap level. I noticed that even on low levels with poison mist combo and dual wielding of two draining life swords I usually do not drop under 50% of my health (bosses are exception of course) regardless of the number of attacking enemies. So I can save on potions as well. I might be wrong but I hope more experienced players will share their thoughts as well.

[Night Ω Wolfe]

Nope you are totally welcome to share your thoughts and ideas on any build... thanks for sharing!

[twisterroar]

khrag's sword is nice but the other parts give dmg when u hit which isn't nice .bahamut parts decrease your gold and save some hp which is stupid.and i said D Brae Sinteri most of which parts drain hp.with hard hit i wass missing at low lvl so i accidentaly wrote it ( how you think i killed the golem with the weapon of legends )

[moonreaper]

Yes, Khrag gives drain own life, but that can easily be fixed by getting/socket more life leech, if your ll is higher then the drain, it won't be much of a problem, Khrag is a fun set for melee DE's.

And you think Bahamut sucks just because it has a piece with a small chance of decreasing your gold? The Bahamut blade got a chance of gaining extra gold to counter that, and with a poison DE you get quite alot of extra gold, and if you go poison mist you can get more gold then you want.

When it comes to DE a mix'n'match of the sets sometimes is better then to just focus about 1 set all the time, IMO. Rechecking your original post I saw that you also recommend people to not use the j'dahn set because it's for ranged DE. The j'dahn set opens up the possibility to play a ranged DE, not meant to be used only for a ranged DE, it can be used for all kinds of DE's IMO.forum.sacredeng.ascaron-net.com/showthread.php?t=43491

[putrescine]

If hitting the oponents is a big problem, why havn't you included "Testosterone" in the CA's?

[twisterroar]

I didn't include testosterone because you'll be mostly using traps and it would be better to invest in adrenaline so they dont hit you
PS : i'll edit the build a little once I have time (I'm not at home so I have to come to a net cafe
