Well, if ever a thread was tailored for me to pwn...

Firing Squad necro: max Mages, revives only projectile-based monsters
Spongebarb: the unkillable barb, with max Conc, Shout/Iron Skin, %dr, MDR,
DR, and so on
Zeusazon: Full-on synergised lightning zon, ignoring most passives.
Invulnasorc: Only for the rich, uses uber gear to reach level 40+ ES, maxes
Warmth and Enchant, and basically lets stuff hit her while the merc kills.
Possibly the best build for a Harmony.
Iggy CorpsePop: Maxes IG, FG, GM and CE, uses Attract and Confuse to get the
corpses. Sloooooooooooooooooow.

There are more I made, but they slipped my mind

Ah, Information. A property, too valuable these days, to give it away,
just so, at no cost.

Someone remember my firestrafer? A rather conventional strafezone,
except for her Blood Raven's Charge, synergized with lvl 28 Fire Arrow
(+2 bow skills from Charge, +2 bow skills crafted gloves, +2 Zonskills
Ammy, +2 skills Tiara). Her footwear is gorefoot.

She isn't really strong, though. Her might merc would die way too
often, no matter what he wears (SP, and without the aurafix, another
one is little helpful). Maybe I should take away this upped Hone Sundan
and give him a conventional one, which I found two days ago.

BB was big into these sorts of builds, too! I'm not sure if he ever gave
them nicknames though.

>Spongebarb: the unkillable barb, with max Conc, Shout/Iron Skin, %dr, MDR,

aka standard concentrate barbarian. Cute name though. Kind of like Spongebob
Squarepants.

>Zeusazon: Full-on synergised lightning zon, ignoring most passives.

aka standard cookie cutter lightning javazon.

Hell, a no twink player could get a level 30+ ES with some shopping/rune
hunting etc, so I wouldn't call this a "only for the rich" build.

And still only level 27. You're worse than short.

I pondered this a while, but my answer would be that I don't really GIVE my
builds silly nicknames. I call them things like "conviction zealot" or "gold
finding singer" or "tankazon" or "whirlwind barbarian". Very dull, I know.
