I agree, and not having best in slot drops the dps quite a lot! I was curious whats about that 17s Dummy thing. Im having all the items except the leg dagger so Im using the green one. Also im not having the badge of mastery +5 Shadowstrike (its +24 though). The build turns into a 30s dummy kill which is still amazing ofc, and it was still enough damage to kill log. Moose 1-shot me though the second I came close. Never happened before on any char :rolleyes: The time I needed to port back⌠Im not sure if farming with this guy turns into a time safing compared to other builds Im using.
Also, the shield version. Not owning the leg dagger makes it still a very safe character, but killspeed?
Maybe instead of nerfing some builds should be buffed. Piercing for example. Its really challenging to find items. And well, if the best item is that green dagger bc of the armor piercing and possible stats⌠Its so boring to farm for it lol and IM seeing no real alternative.
There is an alternative. KidPid made posts in another build thread with 4 piece DM set, doesnât require a dagger at all, has much more survivability (Moosy is not a problem at all) doesnât even need badge of mastery. It has a bit less damage. How much less - I donât know. Moosy died in 2 seconds, maybe 4âŚSearch his posts, if you canât find it, PM me
Just to make it clear - items for his build are also anything but easy to find. badge especially. I tried not to cheat on that one, but that monster drops that item once in 10 kills or something, and getting the needed one or even close is like 1 in 50 chance (speculating ). +5 badge of mastery? No offense to anyone if I am wrong, green prefix and green sufix to get +5 seems like the item was made in something like GDStash. If you managed to actually craft it at blacksmith - kudos!
I spent some time crafting a +5 shadow strike badge of mastery a few days ago. I believe it took me 1500-2000 attempts to get one. Obviously, this was not done legit. Using duped crafting mats, it still took several hours of pure crafting to get it. And thatâs for a terrible one with near minimum resists and %damage.
Well thatâs what you get when devs dont have a clue what made this build so ËOPË
Wearing 4 pcs or 1 pc of DM set doesnât affect survivalbility of this build, only dmg output. If built like this, whit this devotion and skill points distribution 4 DM set version will have same survivalbility only less dmg output. If you want more survivalbility you should change some devotion and skill points distribution and make it more defensive.
This build doesnât require Lox dagger to function at all, Olexras chill works really good with it and I would be free to say that it works same, maybe even better than dagger OP is using. Imho absolute bis weapon for this build would be assassins or magies Lox dagger of shattering, but its only my personal assumption cuz I never had a chance to test it, and even that kind of dagger wouldnât bring some radical or worth farming for improvement.
Badge of mastery is craftable item and it doesent have green/rare affixes, every badge of mastery will contain +3 and +2 to certain skills.
Personally I have 4 +5 SS badges of mastery all of them crafted legit way, most of them I got while trying to get +5 savagery badge long ago, imho getting +5 BoM is much easier than getting useful green or double rare MI.
@Ludak021 Also one personal question if you dont mind, where are you from?
You where almost as unlucky as I was in getting DM shoulders at Tirants hold BS.
To my knowledge there is total number of 1296 combinations for badge of mastery, that is much less than number of combinations for item with affixes.

I am not using this build, I am using the one I mentioned before, the one KidPid posted in another thread. I use constellations that he used, at least I think I do. What 4 dm set gives me is a slot for badge other than badge of mastery. Also, those DM pieces give + skills, which is always welcome, allowed me to have some personal preference skills worked into the build, like 9/8 execution (I know I knowâŚbut itâs with 1 point into it), I am also using NHH (1 point into 7) because itâs working fine with ACC (1 point into 7) and B. Shears (1 into 7) and I donât complain about another free reduced enemy speed at almost zero cost. I am not using those blades at mastery 50, I hate maintaining that thing. That gave me space to take those procs from the first row, which is great with ABB and clearing trash or hitting in between SS, which is what we do anyways. Also, like I said, I do pull off 300K SS strikes, average would be around 170Kish and thatâs good enough for me. Also, my char doesnât look ugly :rolleyes: I have ~2850 OA, ~2200 DA, ~9800 life, all res maxed and over-capped, everything standard. Weapons are, well, DM set one, and crescent moon. No daggers. From my perspective, damage appears very similar to the one shown here. Sure, it has to be lower because I donât have the lantern constellation etc and my SS is only 2.1 sec and -1s from the relic when it procs.
As for my location, I am from Serbia. Why do you ask, if you donât mind me asking?
edit: as for survivability, well, a lot can happen in 2 seconds, depending what you have engaged. Fighting one enemy is not a problem, but doing regular runs can make you get cocky and SS to somewhere where you shouldnât etc. I am aware that more damage will milk more life leech out of those pants but that is not the problem with SS, since you will always get more life then your HP pool is. So I donât see how doing 500K for instance would benefit me more than ~200K, or 100K for that matter (5% out of even 100000 damage is 5000 life backâŚbut if you donât crit and then get hit by several mobs at the same timeâŚgood luck with dodge to us all )
PS. I wasnât talking about BoM when I said in the last post that it was hard to get. I was talking about Ikrix badgeâŚ
Well lets say that I was curios to know is there someone out of Serbia or to be more precise Novi Sad with idea to have nick Ludak021
ADCTH mechanic doesnât work that way it takes into consideration only weapon dmg. Only thing you shouldnât SS whit this kind of build is some dmg reflecting mob, everything else is joke for this build ofc Im talking about vanilla game and assuming you do have enough in game experience.
Play your game as it suits you best and optimize your chars to your liking but I have to tell you that not having BS with some devo proc bound on it is huge dps loss and also having NHH that converts your pierce dmg to acid is dmg loss especially if you are wearing 4 pcs of DM set
If I understand correctly, weapon damage is, to simplify this, main hand and off hand damage listed in attacks/skills right? For instance, I will get health from 410% main hand and offhand portion of SS, but not from the rest of the damage portions listed, such as xxxx cold etc. Is this correct? If so, I knew that, though, thanks for clarifying it As for NHH, sure, it hurts execution mainly, but thatâs about it. I tried it on/off and donât notice a big difference so I was like, meh, maybe some extra CC is better to have?! I might be wrong.
As for BS, I donât use a build that has many cons procs, just 3. One of them is behemothâŚother two are from crown and leviathan. They are on ABB and SS. So even if I took BS, it would be kind of meh. But then again, itâs not needed because SS and Oleronâs Might and plenty to clear most stuff with just using those two, once. Thatâs what I use anyway. I am not trying to say that what I use is better than something else. Itâs just my preference atm.
Cheers.
PS. No, I am not out of Serbia yetâŚSome day perhapsâŚone can only dream But yea, you were right on the money there, Jovan?!
Interesting. When I created this character I didnt have this set yet. I made a complete restart of GD with release deleting all safes and items/recipes, but didnt play that much then. Ill try that even though I doubt its less squishy (and I hate exploding on everything like fire zombies as example lol), I prefer dw (check) and you go in like a true glad not a suicide bomber :rolleyes: On a BoC run one regular mob killed me in 1 hit me passing by (didnt want to clear them all). Ouch. And that hurt bc I dont cheat my items nore keys.
@JoV: I re-read what NHH affects, and yea, it doesnât affect Execution, but it doesnât affect ABB neither. Only Amarastaâs quick cut, B. Shears and Whirling Death. Am I missing something?
the second I came close. Never happened before on any char :rolleyes: The time I needed to port back⌠Im not sure if farming with this guy turns into a time safing compared to other builds Im using.
