Yeah I played around with both now. I think i like the reaver claw setup more than WB mace for blademaster. As compared to my commando i think only against human targets it can outperform.
[1.0.0.6] Markovian/Warborn Commando - Juggernaut - high physical dmg shield build + Crucible farmer
You would get almost same effect by using it on commando, that is if you dont respec to pierce dmg BM.
Sidenote: Did any one got that new pure phys dmg green weapon that was announced?
Itās the madatory PB that helps BM dps a lot. I donāt have skills to max vindictive. I will post an image that forsakes Blitz to show what max DPS can be reached
Yes it is but by drooping Blitz or/and some defenses like VoS, CoS, you can max anatomy or/and lethal on BM to push your dps close to 90k and gain huge OA bust.
3k OA seems like a lot more damage than that 5-6k 
Here full retard dps commando:D
No Blind fury
With BF
With Barbaros pants or whatever they are called can go up at 97.6K but resists suffer. Couls also use better dreeg pants
The expansion could make this very doable with extra skill points I think.
Yes, but it does have some side effects I dont like, ie losing +1 to soldier, some resistances and defense capability this is tank after all
Here is full dps potential of S&B BM, deadly momentum and lethal up:
P.S.
Could push bit more OA and dps with change of chest component, atc speed is over caped by 6% but hate to lose kilrians shattered soul 
you mean the axe with zolhans drops from valbuıry flesh hulk boss? it has some potential but i couldnt get good roll after 20 30 runsā¦ i got 1 ok roll i hope i muled it so can post screenshot when i got home.
but mi belts from watchers are just awesome and i guess i got 2 ridicly op rolled belt even might change reforged chains of oleron for it. gonna be hard choice dont know still debating
Then screw resists too 
lel nice resist bra
i am using legraps of tranquil mindor whatever the name it is as pants option allowed me to go full phys cunning setup, due it its massive flat spirit and OA gain was no brainer choice for me, also aether and psn resists are so valuable,slow resist is welcomedā¦
this thing also make gearing a lot easier and most important thing is you dont have to farm 1 decent fucking sect pants in 1million runs. its win win situation to me, since i dont have dryad constellation and not a fan of it in menhir bulwark setup. you might try thatā¦
playing GD since 2 months, but i have 20 years of arpg experience etc etc
1 thing to mention is, sheet DPS is the MOST illusionary thing in arpgs, there are tons of factors and combinations what makes charās powerfull, performance + clear speed + performance again + boss fights + durablity + self sustain and such is all i care for my charsā¦ goes on
also OA things, high OA is awesome its true but if you dont boost it with +crit dmg let say 2500 to 2800 oa difference with low +crit is again not super impactful thing in GD when it comes to dps, ofc its impactfull about constant crit actionsā¦
we are here to improve our chars and share our experiences but numbers might be a bitch right D
This is the problem with physical BM DPS. On My commando itās almost 100% physical that is well debuffed and less resisted than cold/acid. Lethal assault unlike temper is not consistent damage in this build just sheet dps. Also casting lethal assault every 3 seconds delays cadence procs which in boss fights is dps loss. For me personally, commando is more straight forward in damage and game play as far as physical damage goes.
The reaver claw BM on the other hand is another story for another time:)
Edit: Dreeg sect pantsā¦yeah mine are stonehide with a shitty 2% OA and thatās all. Could really use improvement
Is it a āTry Not To Die Challengeā:rolleyes:?
tbh the resist thing in GD is kind of misleading at end gameā¦
e.g. If you have 80% resist and enemy deals 200 damage to you,
it deals only 100 when you have 90% resist instead. Thatās half the damage takenā¦
I always need to remind myself about this whenever I got tried trying to max all resistā¦
Yeah was just for DPS fun. JOV had like 27 poison resist so I just said screw resists then:D. Itās no realistic at this point but in the expansion with extra skill points it can be the real deal.
Any tips on where i can farm for the relic blueprint? Ive been doing cronley/hive fabius and BoC treasure trove runs but not getting blueprints.
just deadly momentum up 82.5k ā¦ i dont know how you guys came up with lethal assault idea but its worst combo ever you can do with cadence cadence playstyle is already aids with mace slow aspeedā¦ so pic is without lethal assault and just deadly momentum + glove proc which only boosts OA , my base OA is 2720 anywayā¦
well if i want to yolo push dmg i guess it can net +105 to 110k but with 5 10 resist its nothing more that showoff and not realistic lol
like i said, now starting to test pierce and board setup now, well sheet dps will be lower than this for sure but lets see how its gonna perform, if clear speed raises and boss kill time remains or speeds up i might go reaver claw
a) sword and board is not good idea for full pierce imo
b) pierce + physical %50 %50 might be so so effective espcially with reaver claw
test timeā¦
I agree on lethal assault for S&B cadence. AS var as Commando vs BM itās Temper vs anatomy of murder I guess. Iāve been playing around with both and I find the added flat phys dmg from temper (and%phys damage) to result in a more well rounded dps and killing power. Bot both work well enough for anything in this game.
It wasnāt screw resistances, just changed boots to have same lvl menhirs bulwark and took better dmg vise rolled belt, I dont even have augments on those items
Screw resistances path would be something like this:
Without lethal dps is something like 99k so lethal doesnāt add much to this dps vise, there is not much if any difference between temper and anatomy dmg vise (temper gives more dmg but anatomy is giving OA and %to dmg)
Tho maxing anatomy or lethal on this type of build is a waste of points.
I really think that you are underestimating phys resistance of siege breaker for this type of builds, vanguard of legion is nice if you cant cap resistances but if you can like in this case sigebreaker beets it by a long shot.
Also putting reavers claw on this type of build would work, no mater are you commando, WB, BM, or pure soldier, but having pierce dmg where you dont need it its just not something you should aim for.
Stating all this my humble opinion is that for S&B setup WB beats all dmg vise, BM is tankyest and commando is somewhere in between.
Iām not underestimating it:p I play with it when i switch to warborn. Just that I donāt have good enough pants to compensate resists properly and wear more surviviors ingenuity with warbor setup. Markovian hasx3
Also strange thing, if you look at our cunning in the pictures itās sort of the same. In theory then flat dmg from temper should come on top unless against human targets.
Anyway dps is nice to have but sometimes i just put collosal grasp and max blindside and shield training too just to get big blitz numbers with markovian and play like a freight train.
You invested much more pts in cunning than I did for this build 
True but the comparison still stands. Itās same cunning + temper.
Also you guys made me curious about that new MI axe and belts. Are they that good?
