Been away some time (in General)

Well I've been away for quite some time, and I've noticed some changes that I'm trying to catch up on. Well I was going to start a new NCB for fun, but can't seem to think of a good cheap Hal or RoBF strat to try out. If anyone has any suggestions I'm open to ideas. No minion limit or anything like that.

Bout the cheapest I can think of using one of those would be a GA wall + the RoBF. You could run that with leather armor out of the store and get some cash fighting with it.

Something like....

1/3 HP on all then max on the enchant
1) AS
2) GA
3) AMF + RoBF
4) EC

Its a little weak vs DM but if your trying to go cheap your not going to be able to cover every situation. Overall its fairly strong and can be run with virtually no gear. Not the most exciting strat however. :P

Also you could run a SFBM + RoBF. Look in the wiki under RoBF strats there are quite a few viable ones there.

I have a ton of gear on my banks. I just wasn't looking for a strat that's solely NW based

Then I suppose it would depend on the gear you have. If you want to run something that does not need a high NW I would say anything that uses DD as its main damage. The above strat could be improved a lot with some good gear. I see you have already run a junctioned Hal otherwise I would recommend that. Best way to avoid NW problems is to have little or no weapons.

no idea on a strat, just saying hi

My current set up is just slapped together while I was building up money last time I was here. DD was an idea in my head something involving an RoBF and CoC maybe?

Take a look at shocking grasp. Its a new DD spell. It would combine well with RoBF since it hits the first minion just like RoBF. So you would be stacking all your damage on the same minion unless they use AoI. Just need a way to survive ranged rounds and stay alive long to give the SG and RoBF enough time on target.

there is a strat GL created that I liked using shocking grasp and the RoE(named preferred). train HP and SG with/with GA. since wearing the RoE on your DD minion, only he will gain experience(yes the RoE has changed) with the other 3 minions not gaining experience you can dump all the NW gear wise without any penalty!

but if you want to grow a tattoo then start a chain of growing tattoos with every NCB.

BTW WB!

While looking around I figured I'd try another one of seftons strats with a SoC on my monk. Is that strat even still plausible? Or has enough changed where it won't hold up later on.

Monks are still viable

TEW

Tank- trains HP DX ST and UC
Equipment- gi SoC exbow dbs(or ebs) helms EC HoC

Enchanter- HP or AS and AMF
Equipment- corn RoBF maybe some other things he's just an enchanter

Wall- PL and HP
Equipment- cml tsa hod tulka's SC MgS

So the goal here is survive to melee and hit hard with the SoC and RoBF more or less. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I also debated adding another wall or a Mage
