[Lightning Strike vs Swift Flurry - testing results]

I'm using Minor Blights with Swift Flurry and the crit gaze and a paralyze effect here and there.

 

When Swift Flurry proc on a crit the entire pack I'm attacking dies from a cascade of aoe attacks.

 

I'm on POTD.

[Wizard's familiar?]

It seems random - I'm using that + Helwalker .  Insane when I get +3 Might 

[What class(s) are you planning making your first character and why?]

Helwalker / Wizard or Helwalker / Conj subclass

[What class(s) are you planning making your first character and why?]

Still slightly torn on what I want to play. I played a Monk and a Paladin ( Boeroer's charm paladin actually) through most of PoE, but haven't finished it due to work/family among other reasons.

 

Holy Slayer (Bleak/Assassin) seems hilarious with a 2H and swapping to Sabre + parry dagger.  From glancing over Rogue abilities I get the feeling that its resource costs is just gonna force me to only use 2 abilities the entire game and just snap up passives and Paladin skills. Maybe dual-wielding shotguns and pretending he's a Mafia Paladin.

 

[Melee Class]/Soulblade or Ascendant - I loved Ciphers and Charm is absolutely busted. Spell Spam or Soul Annihilation are both very attractive.

 

Boeroer posted earlier about a Helwalker / Wizard and now I think I'm gonna roll some dice and play it. Monk is my favorite "fair" class in DnD universe, Diablo universe, and maybe Pillars.  It'd also give me a reason to bench Aloth and use the new Druid with FOE-ONLY Chill Fog. 

 

First time posting btw, always enjoy lurking here.
