Build Overview
My 2nd build for the new forum. Another Hybrid retal build! This one is particularly interesting because hybrid retal is still rare in this forum, Especially the fire one. Shoutout to @lacrimosa616 who make the 1st posted hellborne paladin. I thought I would be the first, lol. However, I still think this is worthy to be posted because I took a different approach. I finally made a build that is worthy to replace my previous ulzuin fire strike purifier which is gone due to ulzuin set redesigned.
Retal build other than phys usually has so many problem in its damage, particularly low Retal sheet value. This is the reality that need to be accepted. This build is not an exception. Retal damage sheet shows a really low value compared to warlord. On to another problem, 2H gun. Gun always has a really low flat damage in this game. So you cannot rely on a big fat flat like in melee.
So to solve it, we put every equipment that increase RF %RAtA and make use of gun WPS. RAtA is not scaled to %total damage value and %WD, thus every projectiles of shotgun and barrage WPS carry full retal value from RF. This build has 100% WPS from inquisitor’s WPS, 2x jaxxon rings, and seal of void. Even with only one gun,shotgun type WPS give 2 times projectiles more than its tooltip, so jaxxon and storm spread will gives 8 projectiles. Chilling rounds will shoot 3 projectiles with 2H though. The build also have a decent +%global fire damage to be utilized in procs. As a last note, burn damage is about 180k in dummy and has a quite long duration.
On defense, we have stoneguard ward proc, stonetreaders proc, prismatic diamond proc, phoenix fire proc, flat absorb Inquisitor seal, censure reduced damage, and super high armor with 100% absorb. Other defense mechanisms are standard: good lifesteal with 14% ADCTH + 191% AS, ghoul procs, and decent resilience procs.
Equipment Choices
Craft equipment at Egellon and Kaylon for stun and slow res. Aim for at least additional 10% for each piece.
Core Items:
Helm: Okaloth’s Visage. [Build defining item, support fire damage and retal, also increase RF’s RAtA]
Main & Off Hand: Mythical Hellborne. [build defining item, add more RAtA to RF, more retal to bursting round, and convert RF to pure fire]
Rings: 2x Mythical Jaxxon’s Lucky Bullet. [We need that WPS proc, also decent stats overall.]
Amulet: Stoneguard Ward. [More RAtA to RF, good proc, good res, good attack speed, every piece of stats are good, only lack +1 to mastery… ]
Supporting Items:
Chest: Mythical Dread Armor of Azragor. [Provide the best balance for hybrid phys+retal]
Shoulder: Mythical Dawnshards Pauldrons. [good massive aether res, giving retal damage and % retal, giving decent 10% reduced target’s damage]
Gloves: Mythical Gauntlets of Ignaffar. [+RF, more fire damage, convert pierce to fire]
Pants: Mythical Thornhide Legguards. [Have tested both this and barbaros, this pants win for this build.]
Boots: Mythical Stonetreaders. [The most stylish boots ever, wear this everywhere you could.]
Belt: Stoneguard Girdle. [Give good res, armor, and 2 piece stoneguard improve our retal a lot.]
Medal: Mark of the Shadow Queen. [I just need its raw stats and being craftable, it can give me more CC res]
Relic: Honor. [Give fire retal, +1 to Oathkeeper, decent granted skill]
Movement Rune: Will of the Fallen Kings is good with RtA. Use whatever you like though.
