Level 80 Passivezon
Hey all again. How are y'all doing! Here's a new Guardian to prove that I'm still in the world of Sanctuary. Not the most active or enjoyable build, but one that I wanted to try anyway. Very much twinked, as I would not have the patience to do this build untwinked. Enjoy.

Story
Firstly, Parthenia was very heavily twinked. I have wanted to try out a Passivezon, but wanted as strong a Valkyrie as possible, and enough skills to lead to lots of dodging and avoiding. She was also played under Single Pass rules, so no levelling at Baal before the next difficulty, and no S&E to avoid death. Unfortunately, the path through the Prime Evils' minions was relatively unexciting. No real dangers for a character leads to a dull story. But here is Parthenia Neos' story.
Normal went by with twinked Gull+Envy Jewel setup. Parthenia did not use her respecs to change her build, but she did use them to alter stats when new gear became available, if she hadn't already planned for it. Other than that, normal was pretty easy, and done mostly on /players8. At level 42, Acrobatic skillers were twinked on, and the Valkyrie got a big buff.
Nightmare was pretty easy as well. Stand back, and wait for the merc/Valk to kill everything. Cast slow missile, cast inner sight and watch. Even the odd Physical Immunes were taken down with elemental damage.
The fight with Sin Tongue was an annoying fight. Waheed had gotten stuck just around a corner, and that left Parthenia's Valkyrie to do the damage. It was okay, except when Mr. Tongue raised the skeleton behind him, the Valk would target the skeleton, allowing Mr. Tongue to regenerate half his hitpoints. After a good few minutes of regenerating health, Parthenia TP'd to town, and got her mercenary to attack as well.
Hell had a plethora of Physical Immunes, but Parthenia, Waheed and their trusty Valkyrie fought their way through through the mobs of demons.
Mephisto wasn't too tough, as he kept targetting the Valkyrie, while Diablo would only target Waheed, and then went for the Valkyrie. Parthenia hid around a corner and waited. Mephisto was generous though, donating a new Arachnid's Mesh.
The Frozen River would have taken an eternity, as it spawned two types of witches: the Cold Immune, and the Physical Immune. As Parthenia recognised the layout of the cave, and knew there was a small gap that would make it much quicker if she teleported over it. she shopped a Staff of Teleportation.
After that, Parthenia let the Valkyrie fight her way to the Worldstone Keep, where the Valkyrie found, and killed the demon, Baal and his Minions.
All in all, a very safe character, having max block, high life, and >60% to dodge all attacks. In addition, a massive level 36 tank of a Valkyrie, and a Might merc using Obedience. The Valkyrie did die a couple of times, but it took an aweful lot to take her down. Not the most fun or active character, but I did want to try a Passivezon.
Again, thanks for reading, and hope you're all enjoying D2! Questions, and comments on how lame or boring this character is are very much welcome.
Cheers

|||No zeal weapon of some kind, no grief, no faith? Seems you took the 'passive' part pretty far ^^ GG, good to see you've not entirely left the fold yet.|||Nice, grats! I guess part of the 'not the most fun build' part comes from having 8 GC's in your inventory, right? :P|||I am truly impressed by passivezons. It must be soooo boring grats!|||the best bit is your dodge and evade must be so high that you can not pay any attention|||Very nice Guardian 
And glad to see your still hanging around. She looks like a real tank, that's some pretty nice gear.|||Wow, that is such a ridiculous build idea, and to think I thought I had seen them all.
Congrats on the guardian, I'll have to try this out some day.|||Nice Guard! I've always liked the Valk.
Think I'd have to duel it out with her though.
Very nice gear btw. I'm nowhere near that massive amount of items!|||No alternate/zeal weapons for Parthenia. A true passive build has to be completely passive. She attacked occasionally, but did no real damages as she had no extra skills or alternate weapons. The Valkyrie (and Waheed) were the only killers in this group, and surprisingly, they killed at a 'reasonable' (for the build) speed.
I get the impression that she only used Inner Sight and Slow Missile merely to convince myself that she was still actively contributing, and not just sitting behind her minions. She did cast decoy a lot though, and that did actually help her progress.
The fight with Diablo, where she just hid - that was a very boring fight. It took so long, but all she had to do was wait it out.
The fight with Baal took a while as well, but was at least more interesting. Dodge tenticles, bug Baal's clone into disappearing, and try to position Waheed where he wouldn't be killed first. Then cast decoy and Valk to get them in better position.
Thanks for the comments guys, and Barren - best of luck when you try out a Passivezon!|||how do you bug baal's clone to vanish?
