Hi guys,

I have finally come back to TQ after a long hiatus, so I dusted off my old avenger who had just made it to act 4 legendary.

Now that I have had time to familiarize myself with the game mechanics again I have re-worked all my gear to try and address a few giant holes in my resistances. things were going fairly well however as it often goes, you fix one thing and that just exposes another problem.

So now that my toon is relatively robust and can take a few hits. What has annoyed me now is that Cory is getting destroyed far too quickly. add to that my lack of mana makes it a chore to re summon him every few minutes because I have to disable my auras, wait for my mana to regenerate, summon cory, wait for mana to regerate a bit, then re-enable my auras and re-commence mass murder of mythical creatures.

Long story short this interruption to the flow of play became too annoying so I have been experimenting with other skills. monster lure seems to be working at the moment. ring of fire, flame surge, lava bomb and eruption all cost too much mana to be something I can use regularly.

So currently I'm running a very hunting heavy skill tree but I thought it might be an interesting discussion to see what others are doing with their avenger builds.

I haven't purchased Atlantis yet. but I'm considering with the additional stats and spear dance. It might actually be a viable option to go spear+shield build instead of bow.

Hey Guys, I have been playing as a thunderer lately to try and get a feel for the new class. Mainly because Storm has always been a class that I have neglected in the past and the idea of a sword and shield elemental build sounded like fun.
At the moment, I'm in act 3 and I'm starting to think that I have made a terrible decision with how I have spent my stat points. Now that my toon is getting into some decent levels I'm starting to realize that I may have made a terrible mistake in investing all my stat points into str and dex with an emphasis on str.
Now that I think about it, even though I have a sword I probably should have been investing in int and dex then relying on Runeword:Feather in order to equip my weapon of choice (which has changed to thrown weapons instead of sword now). My thinking is that because damage is getting converted to elemental, my weapon is going to be dealing little or no physical damage so I should have been pumping int and dex in order to beef up that elemental damage?

My current build looks like https://www.kirmiziperfect.com/titancalc-anniversary-edition/TitanCalc464c464crunee80e.html?mastery=Thunderer&master1=10&master2=8&sa=4&m1=32-10-1-1-1-0-2-0-0-0-2-0-1-0-0-0-1-0-1-1-0-0-0&m2=32-0-1-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1-0-0-1-0-0-1-0

Has anyone else made a similar toon that can share some advice?
