Question for a controversial build im thinking of

___LethaL___ - Lost City

i was thinking for an experimental build, vit-LA, 2 str 2 dex 1 vit 5 mag every 2 lvl, yes im aware id be using mag weps under my lvl cuz u need 6 mag every 2 lvl, its just an experimental build ive had in my head and i figure veno would be the best char to experiment with due to having a gw tank most the hits ne way. my question is, will using downgrade mag weps make this build fail, or have soem venos alrqady done this before and just never said anything, id be curious to hear results, thanks all.

Depends on how you define fail.

Somethings to consider:
1. It is easy to add HP to a build just by refining and sharding.
2. The biggest advantage of a LA build is the criticals. The LA build, even using same level weapon, will already have lower matck than a AA build. However, the critics can bring the damage up to par, or even higher. Using a lower level weapon means you will be healing way less, and doing less damage as well, even if you take critics into consideration.

That said, you will only be 50 magic off at level 100, which is not that hard to make up with some choice of gear. A couple of +15magic rings, plus TT cape, +magic neck/belt and you would be able to use same level weapon.

My feeling is that, in the end, you would trade off HP for matck, which, depending on your playing style, may or may not work for you.

i know some venos did this build,but i dont think they are actually visiting forum.
i think its good for experimental build,but actually playing it on high lvl i dont think it pays off cuz u would need high refines to get some of ur matk back,and u would still have average def.

if all you want is to make a defensive build I suggest you go heavy instead as refine gains are better than light. light is not fail but the 1 vit per 2 lvl is not much compared to high lvl refines and makes your gear planning a bit harder.
