Curse

So HERE'S an idea! I got this idea when I started my dervish in NF a few days back. I looked for some nice dervish builds, but, alas! All the builds have elites and skills I've never even HEARD of! So, as a kind gesture towards the ever-rising power of new players (hehe, NOOBS!), I declare that all ye shall post your builds that can be used at the beginning, if not early, in the game story-line. What I mean is skills that can be obtained in Post-Searing Ascalon, Shing Jea (or around Kaineng Center and such), and Istan.

Build Set-up should be in this format:
* What campaign, please make it ONE campaign only!
* Profession/2ndary (if one)
* Name of build
* Skills
*Attributes (Remember, these are low levels!)
*Anything special that should be known about the build

I'll put an example up:

Nightfall
Dervish/Monk (optional 2ndary)
Chain Scyther
[skill]Vital Boon[/skill][skill]Heart of Holy Flame[/skill][skill]Mystic Sweep[/skill][skill]Twin Moon Sweep[/skill][skill]Pious Assault[/skill][skill]Chilling Victory[/skill][skill]Mending[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]
*Mending is a wildcard. For all dervish skills, I like to use [skill]Whirling Charge[/skill] but you can do whatever. Perhaps Charm Animal as a D/R or something
I like to keep my attributes even until I can use a higher-end build, but do whatever. Keep Scythe Master and Mysticism high, though.
This Build is an energy FIEND. Watch your energy, especially with Mending.

Here's my Ranger/Paragon, using only skills available in Kamadan:

Screaming Shot
Kindle Arrows
Flame Trap
Whirling Defense
Signet of Synergy
Troll Ungent
Charm Animal
Comfort Animal

Very basic ranger setup, but I'm pretty happy with it thus far.

I've run a low level 55 monk with no elites and it works well.

with the right combination of runes, you can get your health super low, so you dont need the negative health off hands, and you dont need rediculous amounts of points in healing prayers.
for damage, either a derv or axe warrior secondary work pretty well
I've been able to run it effectively as low as level 10 or 11

div favor
heal 1+3 minimum
protect 1+3 minimum
smite
axe/scythe all others

it requires recasting ps & hb quite often, but it can work

Assuming you have the ability to farm RA for an hour to unlock a few of the skills so that you can train them in Kamadan:

[skill]Sever Artery[/skill][skill]Gash[/skill][skill]Final Thrust[/skill][skill]Flail[/skill][skill]Enraging Charge[/skill][skill]Lion's Comfort[/skill][skill]Mending Touch[/skill][skill]Resurrect[/skill]

I like how this is going so far. *shakes fist at Jet* (silly Texas fan) Low level builds are hard to come across, especially in NF. But it seems that all these builds are NF builds... hmmm....

I agree with you.... I self power lvld My monk and 2 other chars this way with the trolls at droks... and ice minotaurs (forgot real name) near the ice caves.... you may die once in a while (or often, lol) but it works really well.

My monk started at lvl 11, if i remember correctly... by the end of the day i was 19 and close to 20.

Just focus on surviving, PS, HB, balth's and kill them slowly with an available attack.

and some professions have really cheap sup runes.

When I started my Necromancer in Prophecies, she used this bar for a while:
N/Me
[skill]Dark Pact[/skill][skill]Vampiric Gaze[/skill][skill]Barbed Signet[/skill][skill]Life Siphon[/skill][skill]Conjure Phantasm[/skill][skill]Blood Ritual[/skill][skill]Strip Enchantment[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

I think Blood Ritual and Strip Enchantment came later in the game or I had unlocked them while playing my monk as a Mo/N. I think I used Blood Renewal before I added Blood Ritual early on. Anyway, degen was effective early in the game and helped to kill enemies pretty quickly.

I like how this is going. Only a few builds, but that's alright. Thanks for the R/P skill, it's helping with my ranger NF survivor :P

You realy aren't a 55 at a low lvl more like 35 or even less as with 55 you have to be lvl20.

actually, i did what he did, and at lvl 10 i found a rune combination that gave you exactly 55 health (it was a while ago and i have long sense forgotten the combination). it is fun, i farmed promotion points and power lvled myself on tut island as a mo/w with cylone axe.

on topic, i used this build when i made my NF warrior (i have 4 pve warriors)

W/D

Sever Artery
Gash
Final Thrust
Flail
Sprint
Signet of Pios Light
Vital Boon
ressig

attributes depend on your level, i would put half into sword and half into earth then the rest into strength

Coloneh · Feb 02, 2007, 04:40 AM // 04:40

I started soloing the trolls outside of droks at lvl 7. no elite either. some of you newer players might not know the spirit bonder build, so i should probably explain it. but im lazy

Actually you aren't a 55 trust me as you can't be ressed by a hard res. at that lvl but a lvl 20 can with 1 HP.I have seen several jump in missions and just end up being a 35 build it look like 55 but it really is a 35.the only way you can be ressed is by a res shrine I wouldn't even use a signet on you.
