Update 1.0.3.0: Everything got buff. Overall better. Nothing change in setup.
Miniguide?
I waste so much time in this build to customize improving total dmg output and raise defensive. It ends up a bit below my standard at first. So I don’t want to write a full guide. But thanks for Ptirodaktill and Socrathustra who points out that Ravenous Earth isn’t effective as a debuff skill. I finally make the build up to my standard again.
Introduction
Bone Strike = Bone Harvest + Shadow Strike as main dmg. Playstyle is just nuke those skill to your opponents.
There are 2 variations of the build. Offensive cheaper gear and Defensive one.
Setup compare sheet(Fully buff)
Top dmg is really high, but that doesn’t mean it outperform other builds.
Grimtool Link & Gearing
Main soulrend provide us free all armor slot. I’ll show you my choice.
- Cheaper Offensive Setup : http://www.grimtools.com/calc/eVLJ6W4N
Overall performance is good : high dmg, fast clear speed. very good AoE but somewhat squishy. Careful when fighting explosive/reflective mobs
It can easily clear bosses and mobs fast. It can handle madqueen and nemesis but not 100% safety if they spawn with good MIs and weapons.
Able to farm gladiator crucible with party. I didn’t try solo yet but I doubt it is risky. Challenger may be better choice.
Mythical Silver Sentinel’s is a very good epic set. Even with 2 pieces it gives so many resistance. With 3 pieces you’ll get extra stackable cold RR. There’re also dmg conversion to cold as well.
- Defensive Setup : http://www.grimtools.com/calc/Q2zbWrd2
It is more stable and tankier than offensive. Safe enough to kill stuff. The performance is close to offensive setup, but dmg is a little bit lower. IMO this is better choice.
Able to farm gladiator crucible with party. I didn’t try solo yet but I think it has a decent success rate.
I just put all non-set defensive legendaries together. Nothing more.
Skills
I use
-
Shadow Strike and Bone Harvest as my main dmg.
-
Ill Omen for Physical dmg reduction
-
Spectral Binding for OA and HP
-
Master of Death because it is only exclusive aura I could get full benefit
-
Mark of Torment because it can save my ass very well when doing bossfight
-
ABB to trigger Lethal Assault and get more dmg.
-
Veil of Shadow to get stackable RR from Night’s Chill.
-
Pneumatic Burst to get some sort of instant health and resistance.
- I don’t take Ring of Steel and Circle of Slaughter because I have enough surrounding CC from the boots and Bone Harvest’s terrifying.
- Ravenous Earth is not effective debuff as it should. So I drop all entire lines.
Devotions [ul]
[li]Murmur, Mistress of Rumors : New constellation which can give us more -% cold resistance debuff(stackable RR)[/li]
[li]Viper : Amplier to our overall debuff on resistance reduction.[/li]
[li]Bard’s Harp : Get some energy restoration and flat OA, DA[/li]
[li]Rhowan’s Crown : flat RR [/li]
[li]Chariot of the Death : some instant HP and a decent amount of DA. It is also passively increase our OA too.[/li]
[/ul]
Videos
Defensive Setup vs Fabius 26 sec
I’m not recording Madqueen Rashalga fight because reaper don’t have any advantage on her. I don’t have very fast kill time on her(consider as <10 sec kill time). Need to kite her when she activate her vengeance aura.
PS. Thank you to Ptirodaktill and Socrathustra for helping me polish the build.
