You're basically a glass cannon DaD from Devon's blog



During the first playtest I tried all different combinations Dark And Darker Gold. For the second one I mostly mained longsword & bow - lighter / medium armor.


In the latest I started off with longsword & crossbow, but fairly early on switched to sword & shield and crossbow. I usually rolled in mostly blue with few purple items & the one thing I'd always try to do is use one of the leather boots (think its the str+ ones) - as I think their benefits are much greater than plate boots (slightly increased speed + extra attribute + quiter + more magic resist).


The big thing I noticed is that the heavier DPS lean in the first two playtests had me play a lot more solo & aggressive even when I was in a party. Think towards the last playtest I would have a wizard and a cleric buff me and I'd just go after teams on my own - while they support from the back (if they can catch up before it's over). This might seem cool at first but if you ever run into a team that's geared, you run into two teams or even one player that deals good magic damage - a mistake will cost you your life. Rouges were a huge pain - because even if I drop them in 2 hits, during those two swings if they got a jump on me I will likely die from poison.


You're basically a glass cannon that needs to be at close range to do anything. The movement speed is nice but you don't have the health pool of barb and since you sacrificed your def you're basically weak against every class.


With the lastest playtest I was rolling with a cleric and ranger, we decided to play with me as a tank. Equipment wise I was going fairly balanced str primary and agi secondary attributes, try to pickout items that add extra magic res whenever possible. Arming sword cheap Dark And Darker Gold, kite shield & crossbow as gear. With the buff from the cleric and smart plays / positioning it is very hard to go through a fighter. Unless someone was running a stupid OP build with legendaries I (or at least my team) would survive.
