Which build is best for Fox Venos?

Jazana - Sanctuary

My main 4x Veno is a pure arcane caster Veno. I'm rerolling another Veno to be pure Fox. What build is the best for pure Fox Venos? Thanks!

Consult Rekaira's guide for heavy/robe veno here http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=198681

Thanks.. I looked over the guides, but I must've missed that one.

Make sure you read and re-read the first part of the her post. Here, let me copy and paste for you. I took the liberty to bold the section you need to pay close attention to.

\\\///\\\///\\\///!DANGER!\\\///\\\///\\\///
Extreme build! Proceed with caution.
If you're a new player just trying to suss out which
build you want or what build you should be be using
this is not the right build for you!
Heed my advice and turn back
now, go seek out an arcane build guide otherwise you'll seriously nerf
yourself trying to level up with this kind of build.
This build is aimed at experienced, high level players
looking for more potential in their venomancer
and by higher level, I mean 70+.

Being a heavy veno isn't that bad, but a pure fox form? That's kind of different compared to the full mage play of the "normal" venomancer. Like Jazmin said, it might be probably more efficient if you got a feel for the veno class by getting to a higher level first before choosing to reroll. It's mostly about end game.

I also had been interested in making a ff veno and there is a lack of a guide covering it. The most important thing for ff veno I think is making sure they keep enough mag for most up to date weapon.

I've tried making a ff veno as an alt, HA is not a practical build until higher lvls (even then its hard to pull off). It's also very costly, trying to get all the armor with max adds for str, dex, mag so you can be able to hold everything. and I honestly don't think can reasonably be pulled off without a lvl 2+ tome. So I restated it.

for starting out with ff veno I think LA is a good build for it. because you get more str and dex which help your hit. I personally don't want to do a LA fox so I'm doing Vit AA. The reason I don't want to do LA is because LA is the most gimped armor defense wise, and LA build doesn't allow for vit. But LA's main advantage over AA is that LA can have -int adds on it. So LA I see as more fit for doing most dmg through regular attacks, and hitting faster so the weapons of choice are swords or glaives.

The problems I run into with Vit AA build is that without the dex it can be hard to hit stuff. but putting amber shards in weap (which are dirt cheap) help immensely especially since accuracy is increased in ff. And I then also plan to look for +acc gear. since AA also has alot less str. this build won't hit as hard. but dmg can be made up by using ff skills, and maximized by using pataka's which have higher weapon dmg but hit slower with regular attack. Since skills aren't affected by attack rate if you use a pataka your dps will go up much more when using skills.

Well in my experience with fox form veno play, goin HA/AA robe is just fine for fox skills. When u think about it if u try to go mellee veno by nerfing ur wep lvl to add str. u also nerf the amount of phy attack u get from weapon. So Rei's guid is a great way to go, but remember it is an expensive build since all of your equiptment will have to have stat+.

Basically in any build you may decide to do use an up to date wep!!

I heartily recommend you follow Reikara's advice and not try this until you're at least 70, preferably 80. But if you insist, this guide has some more suggestions at lower level.
