After i get my claw champ to 40 so i can unlock a character slot, i wanna create a build that is melee aoe but with some kind of range aoe in it...what i really mean is any type of spell aoe melee build


My character concept will focus around death yeh i know pretty boring and not much imagination but i love death...not the real death (he is a douche) just the way he is portrayed and is there a 2h scythe costume unlock?


Now i dont want too much 2hand spells maybe 1 or 2 the rest would be close range aoe spells.. i prefer spells that would most likely be used by death..dark, infernal summon whatever

He can be a tank dps or whatever.

Also any idea on Deaths nemesis what could be a good nemesis for him...i kind of don't like how the nemesis system is so i prefer not to have the nemesis related to my character through a back story like god or zeus or something, the nem needs to never have known death previously

Like in the museum heist it doesn't make sense that you known your nemesis previously in your back story but in the museum it is the first confrontation ever between you and your nemesis.

So i kind of want my nemesis never of met death till the museum

Also any idea on how to create death..like skull head black hood and robe that is all? any addition to make him stand out but still look like the generic death?

    I'll just help out w/ the build since hero/nem BGs and costuming isn't my forte.

    Brainstorming spells from Infernal, HW, and Darkness that could be combined:

    Epidemic
    AoED
    Summon Shadows
    Lifedrain
    Resurgence
    maybe Ebon Rift
    either Guard or Ebon Void for the block

    for the HW stuff, since ya don't want melee aoe (Brimstone), could just make it something like MSA+Eruption and Skewer for single targets.

    FotTempest to make it all work- DEX/Int/Con SS setup w/ some Str and/or Pres gearing on the side. Alternative is take AoPM over AoED for a more well-rounded build (but lower dmg).

    Here's a sample build (not really a leveling one, but could be altered as such if ya dun mind a melee end builder):

    Okay, if you have the scythe costume then this might be cool. Eruption and Void Shift to trigger MSA. Summon Shadows and Void Horror are your minions from the Underworld. I'm a little iffy on Pre and a super stat, but I have to think Ego Choke would be damn cool and you need good Pre to get it to work well. But it might be a long way to go for that effect. Maybe drop Pre for Con and Choke for something else.

    Not really a "spell" user build, but could be damn Death-y.




    New effects for old powers

    More EXP for Adventure Packs please.

    death is too generic need something unique and new but needs to look good and stand out
