Combining of skills

Hey guys,

I'm building me a conquerer after I came to the conclusion that my elementalist just wasn't up to the task of killing Typhon.

My masteries are defense and warfare, but I am only lvl 16, so I was wondering.

The skill shield charge is nice in the beginning, and later on you get to have the colossus skill. but can you do a shield charge while in collossus form? My guess would be no, since that would give you uberdamage capability and would surely smack Typhon silly when both maxed, but.....

So the question would be, can it be done??

Thanks for any info.

Colossusform is just your warrior growing to double size, doing double damage. Really, really powerfull...

All skills are working under colossus form...and the good thing, you only need 1 point in it to do enough damage.

With the massive damage absorption from colossus form you can even stand still and bash away at typhon moving only to dodge the flame breath.

By the way, an elementalist can annihilate typhon with max ice shard tree and heart of frost upgrade from storm nimbus

that's totally sweaet, I just beat the minotaur at Knossos and the Telkine as well.

On to more slaughtering, at my next lvl up I'll get to try out collossus form, since I have 30 skills in mastery.

This should be good.

Drawbacks with collossus: Charge time is very long, I just use it in extreme circumstances (you can easily portal to town, sell and get back w/o recharge).
Duration is fair but could've been longer, boss is often alive after the time is up.

Well,

duration is max 24 seconds if I'm not mistaken, but if ya max shield charge and shield bash you should be able to do some uber damage. gonna try it out on Minotaur lordin Knossos, see how fast I can kill him.

I finally got around to try it out, but my god.

He does get pretty huge in collossusform, but damn, friggin long recharging time. I thought you were excagerating when ya said you could get a cup a coffee and be back in time, but it's true, it takes like 5 minutes to recharge.

But the upside is, the added damage is pretty nice, doing MF runs on Minotaur and 1st Telkine for a while and also levelling at the same time, and found some nice stuff already, but as soon as I hit lvl 22 I'm going on to the next chapter.
