    First of all, are you talking about all HA, or HA/AA hybrid? because I call HA/AA hybrid just HA because it's just easier to say.

    Doubt that.

    As LA I have enough crit to usually take an archer out before serious damage is done and my def counters both their phys and elemental fairly well.

    As HA I'd imagine you'd get seriously screwed over by their metal attacks (as do all HA classes) and generally don't have the spike damage needed to take a good archer out without suffering serious damage.

    You are answering apples to oranges, HA was never about how fast you can take down an opponent, its always been about defense and surviving. If i stack crit on an HA, i can prolly kill archers out fairly fast also (though not as fast due to lower magic), but that's not what battlefairy was talking about.

    As for metal attacks, HA (HA/AA hybrid) focuses on elemental ornaments, so there wouldn't be a huge deficiency of elemental defense.

    However, my arguments against your points all depend on what the OP means by "HA build" so yea b:victory

    its all bout your play style and your goals. i have my chenneling set and my crit set. my +crit gear i got for fairly cheap on auction house rings/belt/neclace etc and currently can get 15% crit not counting a 2% crit bonus from genie buff. im also not a dex build, 95dex at lvl91 (lvl+4 for gear). LA is built arond crit rate and getting lucky and tough combos. just cause thats not how you want to play doesnt mean its bad. i know alot of really sucessfull LA venos at high lvls. sure arcane is alot more popular, but dont dismiss LA as a viable build for venomancer so quickly. i know arcane venos who cant pull off some of the stuff ive been able to.
    lvl101 LA/AA demon veno ftw, 15251 hp buffed, 13508 buffed pdef in human. able to use tt100 fists at 5 aps w/ genie. all from 2 years of work... WASTED

    I play a LA veno, Just recently restatted because I was way off on my magic points. I can withstand some crazy stuff, I do play foxform a lot especially while in a squad if another veno is available for DD in mage form if not I will play mage dd and amplify damage whenever possible and befudding mist for decreasing accuracy, if there is a DD mage veno available i'll foxform the whole way. LA is great for the crits I can crit 3-4 times in a row and they're all like 6k crits I love being a LA veno. Currently i'm the only LA veno in my faction so everyones like what's LA? ?!? XD as stated in previous posts it's all about how you want to play play your character the way you want to and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. b:victory

    I'm just throwing my build out there because i never saw any one mention it.
    Pure HA using Hammers
    Level 47 currently and this build has been a lot of fun.
    cast bare handed and fight with Hammers
    I just quick slot my weapon so that I can quickly switch between them
