Taken him to the Hells and he definitely does ok in Avernus as an up-front basher, some ring swapping required for the final fight though. Phlegthoras has been completed using this toon, played him again in Avernus/Dis last night using my recently acquired Dispater scythe and had folks commenting on the impressive critcal damage output again. You could create this with Kolyarut and due to the extra free WM feats fit in LoH and LL LoH to improve all saves by 4 points which would definitely help.

Now Stygia tagged and with some of the improved gear I've picked up in hells runs I've managed to get his ac up to 130 (134 with girding) which is not too bad for a Str tank. I've also found that he doesn't get kd that much which is probably due to the final boosted Dex of 27 along with his stupidly high Str and Con.

Nice build indeed but very feat tight and those saves are terribly low (for hells). But still this build is stygia tagged. u die alot in hells? get sanded? stoned? insta death

I would think that using a con artifact for the poison immune could take away lots of the tension associated with low saves, as the pit fiends and ozzies no longer can instakill you.

He doesn't die that much and I'm waiting to find the right artifact to use, Con sounds like a good idea but the chance of me getting one with my current series of loot rolls is zero! Sanded and stoned are rare occurrences as most of these saves are about 50, when I play him in the desert he is an absolute butcher as most of the damage just bounces off him and he can take out devariels in a few hits with the huge criticals.

The nerfmaster strike'eth and thou shall no longer be wearing heavy armor! Oh well at least you might be able to get a slightly higher boost from your Dex now with careful selection of the right armor. Confirmed I managed to hit ac 132 vs 130 when testing some light and medium armors. Which will give me a rather nice 136 with girding. In fact when I get to reincarnate him this may be of even more benefit as parry will be significantly improved vs heavy armor.

Ha nerfmaster suck on this Made Demi with Wino last night, just goes to show old builds lacking tweaks are still viable if you play them right and have a good party.

Nice accomplishment. How good is your gear now? Under the current system, will demigodding him help you or hurt you in Hells and for farming Burs with this build?
Also, how much do you miss crit immunity on this? If you could magically remake him as Juggernaut, would you?

Also, how much do you miss crit immunity on this? If you could magically remake him as Juggernaut, would you? I have couple of Hells sets and a BUR equipped with all the rest being UR. With full buffs he should be ok on Hells runs although he's really going to suffer if they go down now. I would have a go making him with Juggernaut but it would be tricky due to the -Int that subby gets, crits is difficult to be 100% certain about as he currently has a fairly high ac for a Str tank so he doesn't get hit as much as some others.

If I were to make him again I might use Kolyarut as the extra free WM feats on this race would enable you to get some saves improvement and that's where he's suffering on his second traverse through the Hells. It's almost tempting me to use the saves artifact but I might just keep going and see how it pans out.
