Diary of a Burgfräulein
Massive passive area damage build, self sufficient Character was played by my non english speaking daughter in the French version. Played on a fresh installed machine. General chest was empty, no help from other character, no editing, ...
The first 11 levels in easy
Rescuing the kids at sloeford for runes, using Zeal and Holy Shield. Taking Concentration (to 1), then Blessed Defense Focus (to 9) then Devout Offense Focus (9).
Modifying Prayer (cleansing, Preseverance, Insight) and Holy Fire (Red Hot, Explosive, Flames)
The Idea is to have Prayer modded for intelligence and willpower. So the Holy Shield has lots of energy because of willpower and the unmodded Fist of Heaven and staff shooting get a real boost from intelligence. After reading a single rune in each combat art (to know what they do) we transform all runes into Prayer, Holy Fire, Holy Shield. After level 75 we add Conviction to the list. All stat points go into vitality.
Levels 12-19 in easy
Taking a staff with fire damage and using Zeal to shoot. Close enemies will die on Holy Fire (yet?).
This is a build for girls. You will cry, because we take Riding (to 5) and Bargaining (to 19). We do the Special Mount Quest in campaign mode so we have this beautiful white cat which lowers Devout Offense regeneration. We love riding and could spend a whole life on a horseback, or make this the back of a sabretooth.
We add Devout Offense Lore (to 1) to our list of skills.
Levels 20-40 in normal
We socket a charm with + fire damage and + chance to burn in our staff. Griffon, Boar and Poison Lord runs for equipment and experience. No more weapon fighting enemies die on Holy Fire and Fist of Heavens. We add Energy Shield Lore and Blacksmith to our skills.
We modify Holy Shield(Dampen, Barricade, Boost) and Conviction(Singe, Weaken, Assurance).

Levels 41-54 in normal
First items with +Combat Art range. Doing the campaign. We notice enemies dying on burn damage while we just ride till the next waypoint. We want to do this better and take Damage Lore. We boost Bargaining and buy +x to all Skills gear. Note to ourself: Stay allways on your mount and retreat when you know your shield is short of vanishing.

Levels 55-75 in hard
Boss runs and campaign. Poison Lord drops allways orange Magic Find relics, nice. We want level 75 for the 4 bosses at the machine. With level 75 we have 3 Buffs and add Conviction as an passive damage boost. Our Targets will be weakened, robbed of resistances and so Holy Fire can do full damage. And all willl burn, with the burn damage higher than the original damage - you know enemy has no resists. We add Ancient Magic to our list for even more reducing of enemy resists.

Killing the Guardian at the 'On the trail' Quest. He allways drops a shield with +combat art range.
