[1.1.3.0 - 1.1.9.1] (2H Ranged) Let's bring BIG GUNS TO THE BATTLE - Desolator Purifier [c+] [sr+]

Moig can be killed but it will be very boring and long fight.
Ravager, calla, Crate - no. Just no.
You can’t just stand and shoot against them (which is the actual gameplay) and you lack defences for it.

Retal Abuser killed Crate with full Valdun Tactician (considered by majority as weak set/archetype/damage type).
I can’t believe Desolator Purifier cannot do it.

Superfluff has a peculiar setup for Callagadra stacking armor and d/a in order to facetank her.

I took the liberty to adjust it for Purifier Desolator:

This is a gimmicky as it probably gets.
i wonder if somebody is willing to try this vs Callagadra and share the results :slight_smile:

build updated for 1.1.9.1.

I started levelling this char and it’s a blast so far!!!

Cruised through normal and elite in full Lookar set + 2 x Leovinius rings and didn’t die once!

At lvl 75 equipped the non-mythical Justicar set and capped the resistances and am currently cruising through ultimate without a sweat!

My only problem is the Blood sigil of ch’thon. It didn’t drop and i am almost level 80 already. Is there anything I can do to get it? Do I understand correctly that once I got lvl80 i can no longer drop it?

Edit: also about devotions binding. Isn’t it better to bind ulzuins proc to thermite mines?

Storm Spread might work fine here because it’s 30% change to proc per every projectile and there’s 4 of them. I remember having Elemental Storm on Storm Spread and it was working well.

But it’s only 20% chance to use it.

Thermite mine doesn’t have the same 30% proc chance per mine? And we have 6 of them.

I don’t think so but it might work better with more enemies because Storm Spread doesn’t pass through?
(Thermite Mine does have more proc chances with more enemies for sure)

I’ll try to make some Math on a single target (multiple target I’d have to test):

  • chance to proc Meteor with 4 projectiles per Storm Spread trigger = 1 - 0.7^4 ~ 76%

  • let’s say Thermite Mine has 30% to proc it after 1s on single target or rather every second

How many attack per second the build has I’m not sure but let’s say 3 attack per second.
To proc in one of attacks 0.2 (wps proc) * 0.76 chance

And to proc in one of 3 attacks that happen during 1s = 1 - (1 - 0.2*0.76)^3 ~ 39%
which might be slightly better than Thermites mine 30%?

Anyway this is not supposed be a proof Storm Spread is better just showing it might be ok.
Would need to test it imo to be sure. I procced Storm usually immediately with it on Flame Keeper

So i was cruising through SR65-66, annihilating everything in my path, reapers, zantais, kaisans, moosilaukees…

Then i got to SR66 boss room, where i proceeded to annihilate everything again, and left Grava for last, because i need room to kite his Pink Balls of Death.

So i got to Grava, who proceeded to hand me my ass on a plate. Standing in the seal wasn’t an option. His pinky-black vortexes where decimating my health pool faster than i could react. He killed me 2 times, without hitting me once with his balls. Then i started to run like crazy, shooting him a couple of times and running. The fight was a pain in the ass, but i managed to win.

But what the hell was that??? This was a special version of Grava, with aether clusters flying around him.

wasn’t there Malmouth Trio in that room?

Yes, they were there, but i killed them earlier. Does it change anything?

unfortunately, yes.

oh shit! So i should always kill them last, right? Thank you very much!!!

That explains a lot of weird situations i had before as well…

Yeah most bosses you’ll just want to quit the room if you accidentally let them take that buff :rofl:

i am actually very proud of myself now, managing to kill Grava with the buff on!

I am somehow not convinced by the Seal of Annihilation in the amulet. Does its health reduction work on bosses? Any other suitable alternative? 15% on crit seems rather low.
Maybe Tainted Heart?

Yeah attack speed is useless :scorv:

Do you feel the difference between 170% and 174% attack speed?
Sorry, it is 5%. So 175 vs 170 looks like nothing to me.
everybody seems to blindly put in the amulet as they have seen somebody had done it once and nobody even questions the validity of this choice as if it is set in stone.
Ulvar, if you have something to say on topic, i would appreciated. If you just want to spread flame and useless sarcastic comments, it is appreciated even more!

Build has more than that, hint: ranged expertise :zantai:

“All” PRO builders put seal of annihilation in amulet if they can for a reason.

You want me to do a mathematical argument why seal of annihilation is better than tainted heart here?

Why don’t you list your arguments for why tainted heart should be better?
