[1.0.0.6] 2H ranged Blademaster 0 physique/spirit- The crosbowmaster - Ultimate ranged DPS

when i was making the boots i was looking for exalted threads
i found out it was enchanted heavy boots

been playing alot and i still never got no greens items i camped bosses/made tons of boots what are good items i can use till i get the 4 green items?
when i got the valdun’s jacket i found out i can’t use it i don’t have enough physique what should i do.

I know that feeling, getting some decent MIs is mayor pita in this game
In my other thread that is linked to this one I explained priorities in picking gear pieces until you get BiS ones.
About other question you should find a piece of gear that gives + phys like I did or invest few points into physique.

Since I was lucky today and got BIS ring for this build (Cutthroat Cronley signet of alacrity) and I didn’t updated any of my builds for long now, here is small update for this one:

Changed pants to get some so much needed ADCTH, shoulders (they are warding of the kings now), relic (since belgo carnage is so overnerfed that is not a BiS even for pierce builds any more) and ring, rearranged some skill points and here it is:

Its almost as good as it was in 1.0.0.6, 20k more dps but for some reason it needs more time to kill the dummy than in 1.0.0.6 :rolleyes:

Have fun :slight_smile:

If only there were some tools where you could upload your Grim Dawn character so everyone could see your items/stats/skills, right? But it’s ok, I will ask my Taro card reader to tell me your new updated items stats!

Probably because the nerfs to Assassin’s Mark and Night’s chill RR.

And BSoD :slight_smile:

I think you should ask him cuz you have obvious problem reading.
Sarcasm off, you have list of equipment/attributes/devotion/skill points on first page, changes worth noticing are listed above.

What’s the new relic Olerons Wrath Im guessing?

Yes. Belgothian is kinda poo these days,unless you are DW SS SB or Cold based BM. Even then you can replace it with Nemesis

@JoV. Yeah i keep forgetting the extent of the nerfs.

JoV, thank you for this build! Your all cunning duel wield pierce build was actually my first ever character to complete ultimate difficulty. Since, however, Log pretty much trashed me and it took forever to beat him, I had hung up that characters hat… Just discovered this thread yesterday, and it has breathed new life into that character again!

I have 3 semi-related questions, though:

  1. Are there any mid tier relics that are good options? I find it frustrating that it doesn’t seem like any of the mythical ones are really worth the cost investment? Should I really aim for nemesis? Or, is there something lesser that might suffice? Guile?
  2. On your videos, and others I’ve seen posted, damage numbers often have a parentheses/multiplier after them. What is that? I have seen crits with this character between 100k and 200k, and never seen the parentheses
  3. Would you ever consider dire wolf crest instead of black start of deceit? It would add flat pierce. But, is the resistance reduction that much more important?

Thanks again!

You are welcome and Im glad you liked all to cunning DW build :slight_smile:

First I have to tell you that if you had problems with Log you were seriously undergeared or didn’t had enough ADCTH to sustain your self, even after severe nerfs only thing that can pose serious threat to that build is MQ, Log is like walk in the park.

  1. Juggernaut or if you cant craft it than slaughter, Guile is ok but you will lose +1 to all skills. You should aim for Olerons rage but since you have DW variation and in order to save some time/resources belgothian carnage is also good option.

  2. That is critical multiplier affected by your % crit dmg (basic crit dmg + crit dmg from skill if skill has crit dmg on it) and OA. You can turn those numbers off and on in game settings iirc.

  3. No, and not just because flat rr. BSoD is providing bulk of your main sustain source ADCTH, w/o enough ADCTH this or DW variation cant sustain them self. I even changed pants on both setups to increase ADCTH %, in order to have better sustain in combat when in one of previous patches ADCTH is removed from unknown soldier constellation. If you are feeling to squishy try to stack more ADCTH, on this setup I have 9% ADCTH, and I wouldn’t recommend having less than 5%.

Very much this. As I said, it was my first character through ultimate difficulty, so self found. So yes, lacking in gear, and also didn’t have access to all augments

I want to thank you again for this build. With it, I have been able to take down the Mad Queen and aetherial and undead nemesis bosses far easier than with any of my other characters. I was also able to defeat the clones of John Bourbon… though I did have to resort to a bit of an exploit, where I found that if I would run to the top of the map, the final form would run to the bottom of the map, and let me regenerate. So, that has me wondering…

Any tips for using this to tackle the Avatar of Mogdrogen? Or is it probably hopeless for me? Try on a lower difficulty?

Im glad you like it :slight_smile:

Unfortunately never tried this build against Mog, but if you want to try it make sure to over cap lightning resistance and get a grab of some additional ADCTH.

Hey JoV, amazing build I have been enjoying it till now. Some questions:

  1. In which skill do you bind Living Shadow from the Unknown Soldier const?
  2. Would you change any of the itemization for this build at this point in time or any of the augments/components? e.g. instead of ‘‘Nature’s Bounty’’ you would choose something else for MI’s.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: regarding No.1, i just realised you havn’t included Living shadow for your build, couldn’t discern if it’s a point there or not. Is living shadow that bad?

will you update this build for the expansion?

To be honest idk, it depends on my time and ofc on things that expansion will bring to this build. If it brings some radical changes I will update it, if those changes stay on level you got 5 more devotion points and ~20 more skill points there is not much to update, just to redistribute those new points.

Could you reupload images of build?

he does not use Living Shadows because they dont do much… but I use them personally just for the looks factor…

you may wish to see this link though I havent played and updated this build… hopefully once I get my hands on he new goodies then I will post here
