[1.0.7.1] The Bulldog - Winter's Veil Korba, Cold/Frostburn Trickster

Yeah, you know your stuff more than me. :wink:
From what you said, the real challenge of this build is wave 169 then. I will try to do more runs and with banner tomorrow to see if that still happens.

This build is actually the better 2 pieces korba build I have tried (haven’t tried korba + N&O one though). In 1.0.6.1 I have tried korba with 2xmalkadarr and 2xchillstrife, single target damage is crazy but the lack of AoE and sustain makes the build difficult to pilot and squishy as hell. Beacon of winter’s veil proc gives the build AoE and sustain it needed. Also the means to kite effectively due to crazy frostburn damage.

Yes, you have actually explain the difficulty I had in building a trickster. This is actually the first successful trickster build I made. Well, maybe the previous builds I made when I am still inexperienced, but still.

Deathmarked and N&O will get hit in the next patch for sure. Annnnnddddd, this build will still survive… :wink:

Try my Trickster, it’s pretty effing exciting to play. Like crazy muscle car with some ridiculous 1500hp custom engine that can blow up any time.

Grrrrrr. It’s just feels weird for me for using a set that doesn’t look synergytic to korba like N&O. Also, like you, I don’t really like playing anyone builds.

I might try John Smith’s build though, because I feels like I can learn more things in build design if I played it.

Build is great don’t get me wrong, i’d just avoid playing it like the nex/ortus or deathmarked builds. Some caution is needed in certain situations compared to just facerolling everything.
I have no doubt that once you get the hang of the build, then consistency shouldn’t be an issue. I love seeing a winter’s veil build again, i still remember the time where the proc from it + Night’s Embrace could almost permafreeze everything. Good times

In general, most of my deaths when recording vids for builds is due to trying to do as fast runs as possible to try and showcase what the build can be capable of. Honestly any build that can do 3x runs with a banner, nevermind without one is a great crucible farmer in my book.

EDIT:
Vid of the 6:08 run

ah shit, that hurts :frowning: So N&O is not synergetic to Korba despite 5:35 clear time but Rimetongue is? (I mean it is in that build, I am just salty that you dismissed my build like that)

Thanks mercy… :wink:
Regarding the video, I wonder if the clear time will increased if you move on to other enemy when you have finished half of his health… Also that pesky benjahrl, did you put blade barrier to survive his trap?
Oh well, might be worth to put chain of oleron in chest and use black tallow in medal.

Apologize, don’t mean to hurt your feeling :).
I think part of me just can’t accept that N&O can also work beautifully in a pure cold build.
I love most of your builds Madlee… also that bloodrager + 2x bloodsong trickster that looks so beastly… :wink:

The only flaw of Merc’s vids is lack of sound.

I bet he’s playing porn in background everytime he’s doing cruci run. That’s why he always be able to play so good.

Do you think he’s one-armed bandit? :smiley:

I play with music or have a movie/tv/something else on my 2nd screen when i play. Hence why i don’t record with sound. I haven’t actually played with grim dawn in-game sound/music in over a year lol

Seems you can increase killtime half if you do only one thing in the same time:rolleyes:

I do that only for levelling, lol.
Hmmph, to think that I always deactivate my background music or film when I try to record GD video. I thought people will like it more with grim dawn music and effect. :smiley:

I always get confused. when I don’t hear the sound of the video, rushing to check my audio system, etc. :stuck_out_tongue:

Still doing testing. The build is still powerful but cruci got harder and the defense need to be upgraded. Will post it when ready.
