LA venos, show me your pwetty builds!

As implied by the title of the thread, I am curious to see how you people decided to build your LA venos, for those that still play that build at least.

Here's mine: http://pwcalc.com/e3f03bf265952c2d

It's not the best in town, but I can do a lot with it (and I have fun playing it!b:cute).

Oh, nice build. It's rare that I even see some LA venos roaming around the game anymore. Although, I'm not exactly aiming for the aps myself. I just wanted to prove that LA venos could be something that could work extremely well when I made my veno. b:chuckle

LA Venomancer builds CAN work if made correctly. To most, simply wearing Light armor is all that is needed for "LA build". Personally, I'd go for a mixed HA/AA build rather than LA, but it is very serviceable if done right.

+1 this.

There was a time where I thought that LA veno just meant wearing the armor but it's much more than that. To me, it's about finding ways to exploit your lack of defenses via good ornaments and fox form. It's also about knowing your limits and what you can or can't do.

The main things LA venos have to watch out for is their immense crit rate pool. I'm demon, so I have a free 2% crit rate in human form and 3% in fox form so I have 5% total when in fox form. And it's the main thing that makes me steal aggro from certain players. I crit too much and I hit with decently hard dph. Not as much as an AA veno but I can still do pretty good.

LA Venomancers are amazing fun! The beauty of utilizing LA is the flexibility you have. You can swap out Ornaments, switch to Fox form, or even slap on a few AA pieces. I'm considering making a HA and LA Venomancer to endgame just to test out each Armor type. Venomancers are such a flexible class, so the possibilities are endless!
