[1.0.6.1] Primal Ultos - A supercharged PS >Conjurer< of Storms 150-170 Gladiator in 8:50

I cant beat the wave 137 with Valaxteria:( Her meteors just fuck me up, I get slowed/stunned and there is some other mob disrupting my skills (build has % skill disruption resistance).

I have 17.5 k HP (26.5 K with blessing), 40% physical resist (58% with ghoul), maxed resists, 2.5K armor, 2.7 K DA and despite all this it feels like playing glass cannon for some unknown reason. After wave 120 my hp often starts jumping like crazy from like 30-100%. Is it supposed to be like this? I even had trouble with Alkamos on wave 35 lol.

Fluff, I am not sure how ure cleaning 170 with this, you must have mad skillz man…or I just suck lol…or both

my build for reference https://www.grimtools.com/calc/aZqKd5p2

I don’t know what to say. Benn hit by Alex meteor as well and didn’t die(although i advise against it :smiley: ). Just avoid the meteor then. They have phys damage so get ghoul proc for extra safety. She should go down in like 3 seconds

Could the problem be that my resists are capped, but not overcapped? Or is my stun resist too low? Or maybe replace the Feralmane pants with some MI ones with HP, DA, Stun res/more life leech or maybe the Arcane Harmony ones for 100% disrupt resist? Redo the devotions for more defensive ones?

I honestly dont know anymore how to make this work.

I can think of only one place where the problems lies…and that is between the keyboard and chair xD But honestly I dont know what I am doing wrong. I maintain the BoD buff and the savagery charges, I use regularly the wind devil and put down the totem and just spam CoF and PS…idk if there is some other secret to this build.

Maybe the secret is just getting used to the build itself and crucible. Four patches ago I would have died too, but crucible was also far more dangerous. Don’t know:) The ghould thing might really help you when the shit hits the fan so try it. It’s 6 seconds of almost God mode on this build

I am using ghoul from the get-go, but it doesnt help much in the situations when u get disrupted/stunned. When I see my hp is going down faster than I can leech back I try to move away, but I am often left with super low hp so even if ghoul gets activated I cant attack cos next hit would kill me, so its usually just running around and w8ing for pot/BoD to come off CD. Problem is if there is a mob with some gap closer, he finishes me off.

Is there some particular crucible map u would recommend me? What is the “safest” map? Also I am normally using just 2 blessings (damage and hp) and Vanguard banner, but should I rather get the defensive one if I have trouble surviving?

thanks

TRy Ulo instead of empyrion. The overcap and phys res are amazing

Hello!
It seems I can no longer use wind devil for devotion skills? What do you propose I do instead? :frowning:
At least for arcane bomb I can’t…

maybe think for your self? :smiley:
wind devil arcane bomb dont work. wind devil elemental storm or so. curse for arcane bomb.

Bind wind devil to something like Elemental Storm, it’s really good at proccing it. The game won’t let you bind Arc bomb to it because WD is a summon that moves around sort of erratically, you need something that targets an enemy like Primal Strike instead of something that just moves toward enemies. At least that’s how I see it

One thing I’m noticing is you have some buffs that increase Vitality damage but you don’t have any skills that actually use Vitality damage… since you have Dying God filled up, if I were you I wouldn’t spend so many points in Primal Strike and move some of those points to Devouring Swarm, which is a Vitality attack and will leech back a ton of your health, keep you alive. That way your Solael’s buff isn’t wasted and you’re still using a skill that can hit multiple targets.

You could also put a few more points into Blood Pact, although I wouldn’t prioritize it. Definitely pick up Devouring Swarm. Once your Hungering Void procs it should do a ton of damage :smiley: give it a shot and see how it goes

I’m guessing you haven’t played PS much:p I know it sounds interesting on paper but DG is there for crit and OA alone. REst of damage has to be full lightning with resistance reduction that aids it. Devouring swarm would never do enough dmg and therefore leech with this build

Hey again Fluff,
have you tried Spear of Heavens instead of DG? Havent tested both to compare yet, but the SoH also gives OA, lightning damage and proc that seems strong, at least on the paper (damage and target stun with very low CD). I still cant beat the first 150 lol so I am just wondering if this could help. Devotion route would look like this https://www.grimtools.com/calc/M2g4o56V

Also what do you think of Chauses of Barbaros instead of Feralmane pants? Could they be a better choice since we dont need the +2 PS from the pants to hard cap it? Or maybe some crazy rolled MI ones?

thanks buddy

Searing light on 6/10 will help you a lot.

I am actually not playing Elementalist, its someone else build I just borrowed to reference different devotion route.

This is my build atm https://www.grimtools.com/calc/M2g4oKyV

ah, well in that case sorry for giving crap advice, lmao

Dying God, too much crit and AS :slight_smile:

And what do you think about the pants? Have u tried Chauses of Barbaros/MI ones (something like Thunderstruck w/e of kings) since we dont need +2 from Feralmane pants to hard cap PS?

Whatever you want:), I just tried to keep Green at minimum.

I like the build, but i dont rly like the idea of going conjurer way. I understand why conjurer tho. Im thinking of going druid or elementalist, i believe druid is more offensive. Which one would you advice to choose?
Also, why there is Feral Hunger and Upheaval, dont you use savagery just for buffs?

They are both one-pointers.
