Ok, I know you need SS/SV/RH and probably BR for this.
I dont know what other skills you would need to take or what your attributes would be at.

Any help please?

(BTW there are some very heavily discussed guides on this in the forum, take a look for them)

I only take BR along if the monk needs it (the better ones don't).
I'll sub n suffering if they don't need BR - only cause in the rare case where the monk dies in the first room, you can aggro the aataxes and glitch them with the ghosts. Suffering counteracts their regen giving your wand and D Enchant a chance to kill it off (still slowly). Basically I'm getting the most out of my 500g. Course you could argue that restarting is smarter since you'd earn the gold back with the first couple kills! You could bring along Inspired Hex for some energy management.

My other optional is Power Drain. You can help out with nightmares with this.

Mantra of Persistence is nice to bring along if you're going to go for Mindblades (much later in the run).

Weapon sets:
F1 I like Vilnars glove and the collectors recharge wand.
F2 Collectors +nrg -regen wand and focus
F3 Fiery Flame Spitter with +enchant length and ??? I use this when casting Visage on the Monk - gives me a bit more wiggle room

i do Alexi's build, except i run 16 curses, 8 illusion, 9 blood, and the rest in soul reaping

Zeph · Jul 15, 2006, 05:12 AM // 05:12

My prefered version.

Awaken blood
Arcane echo
Spiteful spirit(E)
Sympathetic Visage
Reckless Haste (good for speeding up SS and using as a cover hex)
Conjure Phantasm (taken for the same reasons bobrath mentioned, i.e. if monk dies and to speed up the odd kill)
Blood Ritual
Res Sig

Illusion 11
Blood 8 (5 + 3)
Soul reap 7 (4 + 3)
Curses 16 (12 + 1 + 3)

Just to add this fount of information:

The original guide that taught me so damn much
