[1.0.0.6] Markovian/Warborn Commando - Juggernaut - high physical dmg shield build + Crucible farmer

[Gibly]

well…just farm 5 weeks for a few hours a day

I can do that now as Life is Strange was kinda pita towards the end for me. So need a GD break :undecided:

Good game though, would recommend it to anyone.

Besides, I am also running out of story-based games now

Instead of that bonecleaver…have you considered a mace? since you have those in the devotion tree. Killrian can drop a very nice Officers - Of verocity. But you also need a high end roll of it. You’d lose only 500-800 dps, but gain more crit damage%, 35% all damage and all the life steal you’d ever want along with a nice attack speed%. I went from doing 73k crits to 86k crits with it. Seeing how you do such numbers regularly enough to make it worth while…

Since my initial markovian commando build had mace i would say i considered it:p

But killrian 2 problems:

1. Innate slow attack speed (WB gavel and Boncleavers/scythes are fast)

2. Even if it were a good choice it’s much harder to find one with good affixes

I can’t stress how important fast attack speed+ life steal is in Crucible. I too used slow maces in the beginning to get large occasional crits and slowly arrived at the conclusion that it’s far from ideal.

PS: Trust me i’d rather use a fast mace For markovian rather than a fast axe that looks like roadkill :eek:…That’s for berserker type. I do care about aesthetics a lot but there you go, those are the options.

Depend of what devo route you want to use, but since Rhowan Scepter is so strong (mostly because of affinity reward) a mace is a solid choice, the ideal for phys build would be this one:

• Mutant Bludgeon

You craft those 2 from blacksmith but base AS is kinda low (1.05 & 1.04):

• Imperial Warmace
• Imperial Mallet

Another interesting one with 1.11 AS but it would require low level character to craft it:

• Imperial Warhammer

I have a very good imperial mallet but they are slow. Colossal grasp is not very good anymore with such a weapon.

Hello,

Any news about the hotfix ? Release date ? I am “blocked” because I don’t want to invest in something which can change now. It is annoying…

I have one simple question - WHY pick Demolisher as your 2-nd class, if you literally take nothing in his tree (just Temper)? Why dont get Shaman instead - at least, he’s got Vendigo Totem (massive regen) and massive HP boost. Or you can get Nightblade, for his 25% dodge and heal ability… Or Occultist, for his poison/physical resists and -25% phys resist reduction…

Physical Warder is best done 2h imo due to more support

I think you forget Blast Shield, Flashbang, Vindicative Flame (Attack speed that shaman lacks) and Temper’s flat damage is much better than the entire shaman mastery for this build

1. Because I wanted to:p

2. Because Witch Blade had already been showcased quite extensively I think.

3. Because Temper is very good in spite of what you may think, and others. At lvl 15 as it is with golem born boots it’s as strong as a lvl 12 Bulwark flat dmg added to your weapon and some % phys damage on top - the flat armor is not too shabby either. Commando boasts the highest physical damage before and after nerfs. Witch Blade has less but quality damage. Potao - potaaato?

4. S&B Warder tankiness is fair but damage is low. Another build for another thread

5. Since we are at tankiness, you underestimate how effective it is to pivot between Overguard and Blast Shield.
   This build can take some really heavy punishment in crucible if played right.

6. Have you seen the damage in the videos?

Grimcalc bugged with the last update, some previous skilled spells disappear from it.

Hah misread that.:rolleyes: Thanks. And sorry mortalkombat although my overall arguments still stand for why this build works.Yes i wrote about this some posts behind. Thought i’d update sooner but hotfix is still being tested it seems

I was going to ask that too, since the grimcalc link shows 0 in vindictive flame and 3 in ulzuin’s wrath I figured something must be bugged.

Can anyone post a screenshot or something of the skill build? Devotions look fine, but the Demo tree is all screwed up on grimcalc.

Still waiting for hotfix.

Just put 5 blast shield, max temper, 1 vindictive, 1 flame touched

Warborn Version New 1.0.0.7 update. ~10k Dps increase with the posted alternative offensive devotions regardless of nerfs (without Unchained fury proc). I have bad Dreeg pants without an affix so i’ll update if i get any better. Resist’s are a bitch with Warborn

Same deal just more Cadence Dps. No change in devotion but has + 5 skills due to Beronath amulet. Change around as you please, I recommend Vindictive flame for more DPS

Hi Superfluff, can you tell me how you get this big damage per sec please? (witch buffs you have on etc to reach this high?)

[MortalKombat]

Hi Superfluff, can you tell me how you get this big damage per sec please? (witch buffs you have on etc to reach this high?)

But his HP is only 11k, while with Markovian set, you can have 16k… But yeah, 73k and 2.3k OA are kinda impressive, if that’s without Crucible buffs… And that’s with Haunted Steel, that converts 10% physical into useless vitality damage and greatly reduces DPS…

[Superfluff]

Hi Superfluff, can you tell me how you get this big damage per sec please? (witch buffs you have on etc to reach this high?)

Stuff will change with incoming hotfix. Hp is 12K DA 2100 or something, Edit:2495 OA. DPS is lower after nerfs. DPS will be more like 60k know for WB no buffs

@mortalkombat dps is pre 0.8

Why were Reforged Chains of Oleron chosen over Hammerfall Girdle?

Thannks!

Because +1 skills to all soldier and loads of Damage:rolleyes:

I’m trying to think of a devotion setup if I don’t have any decent maces. Rhowan’s Scepter constellation really ties it together. Any ideas?

Also, what do you think about using Ghoul? It has some nice life leech, similar to Scales of Ulcama.

I see a lot of builds use the Chariot of the Dead and it seems like Dryad procs a lot more often, though Chariot’s other stars have better bonuses. Just wondering why that is.

Thanks for the guide! This is a pretty decent newbie build.
