GS Kama's

[Reyjak]

Since there are no GS handwraps, Whats the best thing to put on a GS kama *expecially if leveling with TR*? is there a best thing? are GS Kama's worth it or should we stick to handwraps? Thanks

I find a pair of gs min II's somewhat useful

Depends, would think that overall damage would be better with handwraps. Especially if you get the ToD rings with Holy/Acid burst on them.

IMO you could do with a Min 2 Acid/Good Burst Kama with +2 exceptional WIS for that extra AC point in one hand, and Min 2 Holy/Acid Burst Kama with +4 Insight AC on the off hand.

I tend to focus a bit on the defensive side, but if you don't want to, than go Min 2 Acid/Good Burst/Acid Blast - Holy/Acid Burst/Good Blast.

My kama using tempest-monk will be building Dust II kamas. I have a holy silver and a metalline of PG already, so the min II wouldn't be too much of an upgrade.

As I have low DPS because of the use of an inferior monk weapon (kama) I wanted something with a large burst of occasional DPS, and didn't want lightning II just because I wanted to be different (and the dust II damage is untyped).

I have a few other GS items to build ahead of those kamas for some other toons, so I can't say it will be soon that I build them, but I am most definately looking forward to it

Ahhh, there is another gimp tempest monk running around out there...on the plus side, no one is faster....so if we need to run away because of lack of DPS, sprint boost+monk speed+abundant step for the sorta-win

I made two 3x earth kama's (insight/exc wis) for my general use. It's good for solo (earth clickie army, procs cc decent, acid damage) and I couldn't stomach spending dual shards on a character that should be rerolled....if it wasn't so fun to play.

Earth is a good cheap option if you have other weapons to deal with bypassing DR.

Hey nice avatar!

Honestly, the low DPS is only a problem for me when soloing quick regen monesters (the end fight in Jeet's Mind is AWFUL!) I agree that this build is super fun to play, but why would you wanna reroll him? Not everything has to be super-DPS-to-the-ultimate-max-only-focused-on-the-numbers. I play to have fun, not crunch numbers

I'd say that Niikolai solo'd 90% of the way to level 20. That was kind of my focus. Solo survivability. And I tell you what, he did great! Obviously, twinkage in the form of sweet kamas and tome usage had a lot to do with my success. Wounding kamas and vorpal kamas ROCK! I managed to solo both madstone and crucible at level 14 which was a big deal to me personally, as I had never done that before.

Here's the link to his MyDDO page If you, or anyone else for that matter, is interested.

Of course in a few weeks I'll probably build another character that puts the fun of this one to shame, and I'll regret 2x dual shard kamas. But hey I'm having fun now!
