!!FUN!!:  Anything with that Chaos Indoctrination (1 health, resistance to Chaos Damage), and possibly something that feeds all of your energy shield into your mana.  Throw them both in the same build and you're probably a masochist or looking for getting the most amount of deaths ever.

Chaos Inoculation + Eldritch Battery + Blood Magic

No health, no skills, no anything. Better up that evade and dodge.

A prime character for the Cast on Death support gem!

You know, you joke about that, but suddenly I realize that a character who is unafraid of death (read: doesn't care about EXP and has a Portal Gem) could probably put that and Molten Shell together, and maybe an extra couple of skills or something.  That'd make a fantastic explosion!  What else could we put on this guy to make him into the best suicider ever?

Spark?  Firestorm?  What would happen with Totems or auras?  Spell totems with cast on death that have spell totems and molten shell.  Suddenly I feel a science coming on.

Portal gem, so when you die you have a portal to go back

Portal gem, so when you die you have a portal to go back

That's...

actually a viable use of the cast on death gem.

[Aklyon]

You guys, you need mana to cast molten shell. You'd need the bm support gem to do anything besides swing and die.

Descan, if you want to just try out builds, hardcore is hardly the place to do it, its easier to test things in domination. Otherwise you end up too focused on not dieing to get very far in cruel.

Go do that! Buffer overflow the death counter. 

[Biowraith]

Both for my own information, and in case someone actually did want to try out the silly fun idea above:  Do skills activated via trigger (e.g. Cast on Melee Death) cost mana?

[kcwong]

No. And you can no longer activate a BM-skill to kill yourself. It's patched away.

[Chattox]

So me and a friend finished our first playthrough last night. Goddamn, Dominus is hard when you've both levelled like retards because no one had any idea what they were doing. The amount of time it took us to figure out how to avoid the blood rain attack was somewhat embarassing.
We instantly restarted, he's going ranger after playing witch, and I'm going marauder after playing shadow. Any tips for passive builds? I'm aiming for a 2h tank, I think my friend wants high physical damage,

[Aoi]

Do we have a B12 group or anything? I recently started up again and it'd be fun to hang out with a semi-predictable group.

[Aklyon]

We have 'Should we make a B12 guild', but not a notable group that I can think of.

[Karkov]

I'd be alright with joining a B12 guild; it'd give me someone to talk to when I'm not on voice chat with my friend.

2H tank is actually pretty viable; you're not as tanky as someone with a shield would be, but if you stack armor/resistances and life with regen, you can attach a blood magic gem to a skill and become some serious DPS as well.

I'm doing a Marauder 2H right now, so I can say it's pretty good.  Got me to Act 3 Merciless so far.  Just got Cast When Damage Taken, probably the best Support Gem in the game.

[Descan]

I'm playing a cold-heavy melee witch right now.

I've already died once and restarted, this time I rolled a good life-regen (3.5) amulet and some max-health items. So maybe I'll be able to do it!

Only problem is there's no "Avatar of Cold" keystone (yet!) and only one melee cold skill (glacial hammer, which DOES work with staves so it's cool)

[Xardalas]

I'm working on a Shadow right now. Haven't gotten back the first act because I've been running hardcore characters. Tried the witch twice on and decided I didn't like her very much. I'm loving the shadow though.

[Cthulhu]

I just started on a Ranger.  Is there any determinism to the item drops in the tutorial?  I got Raise Zombie which is obviously awesome when I'm ranged and now I'm wondering if that's intended or if I just got lucky with the drop.

[Karkov]

The first area always drops you a gem when you kill that zombie that munches on the dying exile, and a weapon that's predetermined by your class.  Everything else is fair game and is determined via regular loot rules.

It's actually possible to get a Unique off of Hillock, good luck with that though.
