[1.0.0.4] Tri-element Saboteur 2.0 - A (mostly) craftable build. 15sec madqueen etc

My guess would be
Elemental Storm - FB
Eldritch Fire - SS
Flame Torrent - FS

Aura…well, just pick one

how is this build doing post-patch… is MQ Facetankable?

I feel like the answer to that should always be no …

Great build :smiley:

Please let me know where I can find purple items. I only play this game for a few days

As Udomsa33 said:

Exactly right! You could bind EF to WPS or Themite Mines too. Just try it out, they all work. I prefer the above stated.

I killed MQ with this char, but it has been some time. Maybe I will do some runs the next days.

It’s RNG. Start praising RNGesus and play a few hundred hours. :wink: Quick methods for new players are One Shot Chests (just google these) and Treasure Troves. But even those roll the dice. Playing on Ultimate increases drop rates significantly.

Another newbie question. If I assign Solael’s Witchblade active skill (Eldritch Fire) to shadow strike, like the guide suggests, does it ONLY proc when casting shadow strike? In the devotion window it says 51% chance when assigned to SS, but only 15% when assigned to a dual-blade skill, like belgothian’s shears.

If I run around and don’t use SS, I see Eldritch Fire gains exp, but I don’t see the skill proc. Then again, it’s hard to see the effect with my attacks burning enemies too.

Active devotion skill only procs when you use the skill that is linked to it. In this case, SS will proc eldritch fire. If you have Nightfall then your SS will in effect hit multiple targets, leading to even higher chance.

Your devotion skill ALWAYS gain experience from your kill/quest completion, regardless of whether your are actively using it or not.

Lurker here, thanks for all of your contributions to this thread. It’s helped me with my bd, and with game mechanics.

Sorry if i didnt read all of the 71 page but is this build made exclusively with strenght skill point for stat or did you put anything in spirit or cunning

Would you endorse this build for HC?

I 100% endorse this build for hardcore. Get high potency black water cocktail, use flashbang a lot and be mindful of your blast shield/pneumatic cooldowns

No cunning in this build.

At what page is the recommanded gear ? I read backwards until page 25 and saw nothing, might have missed it

The first post contains gear requirements.

Post 727 on page 73 has a pretty good list of currently valid options too.

Hey I just looted a lvl 65 Warpfire, but it shows a 945 dps drop to main hand and and 926 dps drop to offhand (compared to my 2x elite legion firestarters). I have blocked out the components on weapon to compare. Can someone tell me why I am equipping this again? Thanks

Because of the RR and DA debuff.

Its other stats is pretty useful like Reduced Resistance, Reduced DA, and don’t forget the Cold to Fire conversion.

DPS number does not tell the whole story. Your DPS can be sky-high but if the target has extremely high Fire resist then you are doomed (take Shar’Zul for example with its 100% fire resist…)

Warpfire also has +1 to Demolitionist skills.
