Hey guys, I want to make an extremely stupid earth tank build on my 2nd account, I’ve got Kandarin locked in for the Shadowflame Quadrant and possibly Fremmenik for the V’s Helm and Mory for blood fury and/or justi (all three regions I have not played on my main), but I’ve got a couple of questions still because I’m not that knowledgeable about the game. The aim of the build is to just splash, thorn and reflect way through content while healing to 180+ with water and have a good laugh while slowly reducing the defence of bosses to zero with earth (or even in the negatives? idk if that’s possible). My questions to those with V’s helm experience, earth tank and/or thorn builds: Can the earth pact which lowers defenses lower a creature’s defenses below zero? Does the earth pact which increases your own defence upon regenerating stack on top of other unlocked minor defence increase pacts (effectively reaching 178-179 defence stat)? What are some defence-oriented special attacks that I could use when V’s helm procs? What would be a good third region besides Kandarin and Fremmenik which could make the build even stronger? Ignore all efficiency of skilling and point gains, this account will just be for fun. Is it worth picking up Mory for a blood fury and possible justiciar, going into the negatives with mage bonus for more defence bonus, and in that case, is it worth dropping Fremmenik altogether and just equipping a justi faceguard?
