Stupid builds and taking great joy in them

    Okayokayokay, this isn't a standard victory build or optimization thread, though those are certainly welcome.

    No, I'm making a thread here for builds that you can call things, what they include, and what kind of items you might like to accompany it (though mentioining them is optional, especially if you have a build that for instance encompasses shields, swords, and master at arms... since that gets kinda obvious.. and it doesn't -have- to be a part of the build so.. whatever you feel is part of the build).

    Skill trees that aren't part of the vanilla packs are also allowed. If you rememberwhere they come from, great! if not, I don't think we'll fault you, since the workshop has a search function I believe. (at least on steam).



    Which brings me to the questionably erotic knight.

    Otherwise know as powerlevel 90's Knight Pervant. Or his brother/sister in arms Inquisitor of the 90th cultural circle.
    Encompasses the following skills:

    Swords | Swords
    Dual weilding | Shields
    Bowiemancy (mod) | Assassination
    Master at arms
    Artful dodger
    Gangnam style (mod)
    90's kid (another mod!)

    As you might imagine, These builds require swords, good beats, and an appropriate sense of hunting down ghosts. Your choice between being a rebel space wizard or a really uptight wad who likes doing whatever everyone else does, but in an ironic manner.

    Alright, another mod-based build. Kind-of less stupid in its own.
    Druid Magic (mod)
    Heart of fire (mod)
    Viking Rage
    Burglary
    Agile dodger
    Weapon of choice
    dual wielding

    Aside from getting a butt load of regen, who doesn't want to be an angry otherkin with an agressive outlook on 'sharing', especially sharing the nature of things? Especially deadly pointy things that hurt a lot.

    I have one I was doing just until recently. I like my builds to have a natural progression and story flavor to them. In the one I'm sharing now I have a man who was infected slowly turn into a powerful robot.

    Alchemy - Our Hero started out as a simple dabbler in the sciences. However drinking the wrong vial at the wrong time...

    Thaumite Mary - The poor sap was infected by Thaumites, who are slowly turning him. (Also has a needed heal)

    Sentient Suit - Alas, now but an artificial metal body this former man must survive in a world where food hurts him. He must come to terms with this.

    Ley Walker - Discovering a power source is implicitly important as this powers his ability to move.

    Warlockery - Turning this power source against others in a crude, but effective, manner aids him in his quest for self discovery.

    Perception - His sensors are now fully functioning, allowing him to take in more from his surroundings at once. Also: ROBOT LASER VISION FTW!!!

    Electromancy - Having mastered his inner power source his is beginning to learn how to control and conduct the energies within him from without, mostly by sending them into other people. This also covers his greatest weakness of electricity.

    Staff Mastery
    Dual Wielding
    Promethean Magic
    Psionics

    I looked at some other suggested builds for going rogue and decided to combine bits and pieces into the most absurd thing I could think of. It's worked surprisingly well on the first few floors so far.
