I sexually Identify as blatty. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the rift dropping hot sticky meteors on disgusting monsters. People say to me that a person being blatty is Impossible and I'm fucking retarded but I don't care, I'm beautiful. I'm having a plastic surgeon dye and cut my hair, teach me French and how to be a wizard. From now on I want you guys to call me "Blatty" and respect my right to be French and play diablo. If you can't accept me you're a francophobe and need to check your anglo privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.
why fire%?
How do you maintain the bubble up all the time while in archon, mine i have to cast it all the time.
You cast it only once and it will be there until archon expires. If you recast it, it will shrink (use this when you face mortar as it will land on your head if you have slow time up)
Hey Blatty,
mon fr n'est par très bien, donc je te demande en englais ^^
one question about the items: i've always been thinking that, since the most needed rings are Halo of Arlyse and Obsidian Zodiac, why is Archon mostly built with Convention of Elements ? Because i was thinking about Crown of the Primus, which gives Slow Time all runes (incl. +15% damage, -25% damage from enemies, +10% AtkSpeed, slow enemies) which could go with RoRG and would give Archon's Slow Time all the runes and give more sustainability + damage.
So why is 6pcs of Archon preferred over 5x Arcon & Crown of Primus, since this build doesn't use Focus/Restraint or Unity ? Is the occasional damage from CoE that good and enough to not use all runes of Slow Time giving more toughness, speed and damage ?
ok thanks i'll try, but is it still better than having the mons do less damage, be slower and your character attack faster inside the bubble ?
What is the gems i have to use in the other itens? like weapon armor pants...
