Any combo of these 3 Attr's are good. Im going with 30% STAM, 20% VIT and 50% INT.

 

 

This build is untested by me so feedback would be great! thanks

Im thinking I might go 25% VIT and 75% INT and forget stam altogether. Not sure, I dont have alot of experince yet on this game, If anyone could give me suggestions on what ATTRs they would use, that would be great thanks.

IMO, with the Elf, it's 100% vitality. Every point every level. If you don't mind dying and losing your SB, then you can put points somewhere else; but I think (as a general rule) that keeping SB is more important than getting a few points into other attributes...

thank you, very much.

[essjayehm 58]

thank you, very much.

My pleasure!

 

BTW, I don't think there are any glaring holes in your build... I prefer Pyro elves but there isn't much difference other than the aspect skills (AP/MS).

 

You may want to pump points into your Bargaining skill. It is quite ineffective if you do not keep it at least 2X your character level (including relics, allskills, etc); and I recommend trying for 3X char. level. Keeping hard points into it at your character level will make that easier, which will keep the rare/2-star items appearing in the merchant inventories throughout your toons' life.

BadDayDriver, are you sure about the runes for Cascading Shroud and Crystal Skin?

 

I switched from VIT to INT when I picked up Constitution. Only time will tell if this gamble will pay off.

 

 

Edit:

Got those two attributes backwards. Sorry...

No im not sure about the runes, everything here I took from researching this site and the wiki. So its something that I read somewhere, not something I know or tested myself.

You don;t necessarily have to put points into vitality. Grand Invigoration provides some awesome healing and constitution as well...it depends whether or not you want to aim for more damage or a little more health. Remember that Int adds base damage which will get multiplied by other effects...

Yeah I should just boost my constitution and use all my points on INT. I havent yet used any of my points because this was something I was thinking about, thanks very much Dragon Brother.

You don't need to put points into vitality for an Ice Elf. Crystal skin will more than adequate if you build it properly. I put everything into intelligence and just use some plus all skills rings to help out since you have bargaining. When you go against bosses use the stalworth if you have it. I use frost flare to slow them down and them kill them with thorns. This works well into Niob.
