Build: full intel dragon sage



100% chance to AOE at lvl 7 with splitter, make Evolve 6/7 too and you'll have (with Suction lvl 6) 6% hp abso with 100% chance to AOE with your regular attacks. Every attack will hit all mobs around you and you'll heal full from it.



Zhen mastery (from Dragon Sage) Works like blunt mastery now, my guess is that it transforms your magic attack to melee attack with a certain factor and then uses your intel (1000 intel is 1x boost factor for example) to boost the converted magic attack with a said 1 or 2 or 3x multiplyer. Also all defensive skills like Critical immunity and Impenetratable work with Intelligence to boost your defense, my guess is this is FLAT defense meaning if you get 1k intel and you have impenetratable lvl 7 (200% from intel = applied to defense) you get 2000 flat pdf, you'll easily tank mobs while being full intel.

full intel build with melee zhen gives you:
- Max melee and maximal damage on your AOE auto attacks
- automatic heals with every auto attack due to suction
- enough flat pdf to grind anywhere beside the new dungeons
- crits will deal 0 damage on you as well (beside pvp, dhans invenom will still eat you alive)

Making your char full vit or using a % hp weapon is retarded, it slows down your grinding process, it's the most inefficient way of grinding, it would be more usefull to go full str on a dragon sage than get a vit build with vit weapon.

As for pve/pvp, my friend used a dragon sage with +12 rings, int set +14 etc. he used a mixed upg zhen of 2.0 and 3.0 parts I think, having 80% melee and 80% hp, not sure about the DD. He was able to solo some of the mirror dungeons (due to the AOE auto attacks and abso in evolve). He used to crit ppl 30-40k regular hits in pvp but you need OP gear and upg weapon for that.

Breath, health drain, wffs etc are overrated, your regular damage outdamages those skills by FAR (DPS), specially in pve coz you have 100% chance to AOE.
