*UNTWINKED* Which Char Best Synergies with an Explosionmancer?

[:1]Title.

I know it can Solo Hell, but we're going with a 2 ppl team, and I find an Explosinomancer interesting.

I was thinking some kind of meat-shield build, cause we would be lacking in this department. A Summoner Druid prehpas?

Or maybe a Poisonmancer is viable untwinked in Hell? The utility of Lower Resist expand the options of the 2nd char.|||someone who can help get a body on the ground that doesnt use cold or otherwise use bodies (redemption pally, etc) i'd suggest not using a summon druid since dire wolves eat corpses.

perhaps a lightning based character like javazon, tesladin, or light sorc since you're bringing fire and physical damage to the mix.|||Summon druid wouldn't be bad... yeah dire wolves eat corpses, so just use bear. it's not like you can use both together. also summon druid if they sub rabies or fireclaws or something is another build that can solo hell without problems.

another option is lightning fury/valkyre javazon. Lightning damage would be good and valkyre is a really solid tank if you put points in it... you said you needed a meatshield.

something like 20 pts lightning fury, 20 pts valk, 20 points charged strike, rest in light synergies and maybe a couple more points in decoy for more valk health although i don't think you'd need that many.|||If I'm going with an Elemental 2nd char, especially Lite one, wouldn't it be better to go with PSNmancer's Lower Resist which would benefit both of us and break immunes?

With an Explosionmancer I thought the best 2nd char would be someone who would benefit from Amp being constantly on.|||There are many good untwinked options but an entertaining one that is relatively safe to play is a Dragon Talon/Lightning Trapper.|||a paladin utilizing conviction aura and also using zeal...

conviction backs up CE greatly to make the fire more viable, and amp damage from the necro will benefit the zeal damage of the pally...

just a thought, please tell me if its a silly idea |||As you said you need meat shield go for druid Firehunter type with max bear , werewolves, volcano and fissure.

Or druid Werebear with fireclaw and some points on summon and 1pt shockwave for stun and massive control.|||Quote:

As first timers in HC, we're a bit afraid going Melee, so Fireclawer is a bit scary (Even more since we're both first timers in Druids).

But a Firehunter can be nice. Is he actually viable Untwinked? And won't he be a lot crippled with all of the Fire Immunes in Hell?|||Yes he is viable untwinked and about on hell when you meet Fire Immunes you got your Bear summon to do Physical damage also, your Volcano/Molten Boulder that deals 50%Physical and 50% fire damage so you can put points on Mounten Boulder as it synergise volcano physical damage.. here is a link to a guide that cover almost anything about this build and its variations.

I'd recomend Max fissure and direwolves as they do great until you reach Hell then you need Bear/volcano.. volcano most for bosses and super uniques with your bear tanking they will stand in the top of Volcano and receive uber damage. Hope I helped you and sorry about my english |||Quote:

Thanks. I've read the guide, but I couldn't miss 3 major problems:

1. Both of the chars will do Fire & Physical damage, which will be a problem with PIFI.

2. Both of the chars won't be very good at Boss killing. He even says in the guide that Diablo and Baal "take a while".

3. They say repeatedly in this thread that it's quite gear-intense and wealth-heavy build, and listing CoH, Faith etc. That's not very Untwinked..
