the D/W with Vim and mystic sandstorm is very powerful and like any ViM build is very self supporting.
I have been running a very modified version of this sense the end of the first preview.

its drawbacks are natures renewal, and interupters as dervish that use mystic sandstorm are PBAoE casters.

Hey I'm very interested in your first build...

But are you sure that ViM can be found in Elona ?

Skuld · Nov 16, 2006, 02:17 AM // 02:17

Of course it can't, prophecies-exclusive skill.

Kruyech's Family · Nov 16, 2006, 12:02 PM // 12:02

Too bad, it was a nice build...

So what do you suggest ? Aura of Thorns ? Mirage Cloak ? or an avatar ?

zling · Nov 16, 2006, 04:41 PM // 16:41

I'd suggest that you get prophecies, will make your life much easier and much more interesting...

Kruyech's Family · Nov 16, 2006, 11:10 PM // 23:10

I've got it

But it's said "Prophecie only"... So I juste have to move from Elona to Tyria and catch ViM ? From where can I do the trip in Elona ?

It would be kind of hard since ViM is a targeted shout now . .

Even as a targeted shout when its used i ViMs benefit is still usually capped by the size of my bar. still good for 200hp and 20-25e. mysticism does the rest.
