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

Thx, for help :slight_smile:
Officially Im giving you this build for further updates if you dont mind doing it that is :slight_smile:

I will never be as good as you. :rolleyes: nevertheless I will do my best… :wink:

coming up with the updated build soon. :cool:

well honestly. there is not going to be much of a difference imo… and there is the the tactician version too that is seriously a very good contender to this build…

but that is not going to stop this build to fruition, sticking to bm and . currently dps is over 115k with just the mythical silverbolt on. :rolleyes:

No one is asking you to be as good, you have to be much better :stuck_out_tongue:

Thx for help again :wink:

Maybe try crossbow with 100% AP ratio, cant remember the name :wink:

I think you’re referring to Gildor’s Pulverizer

Silverbolt with Myth. Belt of Treacherous Means should be better than Pulverizer for this build imo

EDIT:

Never mind Belt only has 50% AP increase, so Pulverizer might be better.

Build looks really solid. However, I have few question and might need opinion from you guys.

Since AoM is out…

  1. Is gildor’s pulverizer better than M silverbolt for this build?
  2. What alternative set, aside from valdun if I were to use gildor? I believe valdun is no longer relevant with gildor, right?
  3. Is AoE enough for the build with valdun proc alone?

I would say a well rolled Ugdenbog Boltthrower would be best for this build, but good luck farming one :slight_smile:
Valdun hardly has any alternatives when it comes to 2H ranged pierce.
But overall yes, 100% pierce on Gildor looks like a decent alternative, better than Myth Silverbolt.
Also I would consider Tactician instead of Blademaster. Blademaster’s kit is mostly melee.

Hi fellow blademasters, tbh what really interest me in the build is dummy kill time for 2h ranged BM in the front page written by Jov- which i believe is less than 40s.
So I decided to give it a shot, min max and optimize the build for the latest patch. Turns out, my dummy kill time is nowhere near 30s. In fact it takes 1 minute long. Killing bosses/mobs feels really slow.
This is actually my fist BM playthrough and I’m not following blademaster changes over time, but, is the nerf that bad so that tactician is the way to go? I refuse to believe it :cool: :eek:
What can I do to improve this? Suggestion please. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/w26AKlxN Thanks!

Unfortunately nerfs are that bad.
Tho I didnt played much less tried to update this build I would suggest you to pump your atc speed by investing points into PB it should give you more dps.

I am done with Tactician version of this build. Sinister of Vora Boltthrower with Solid single target damage ( pure pierce with 170k dps) and very tanky with 2.5k + armor with high da and oa. Only issue is lack of skill points to invest in aoe skills like WPS. AoE needs improvement. Sadly I am not satisfied with it after having been spoiled with PS! :stuck_out_tongue: The Dw gunner physical version may be better here.

Quick question… I never considered that the passive Soldier triggered skills work with ranged weapons. How do they work then? I mean Zolhan’s Technique hits multiple enemies in melee. What happens when used with a ranged weapon?

It doesn’t, the highlighted text on the skill states ā€œWhen used with a melee weapon, the attack strikes multiple nearby targetsā€. Necrotic Edge has this as well.

So it just applies the slower attack debuff and adds the internal trauma damage, but to one enemy, and that’s that?
