The name, is it in Klingon?
Korvan Highlander tongue - isn’t it obvious? 
It is interesting to see a variety/mix of damage types for a change.
Something like this was too squishy and doesn’t fit the face-tanking concept, I imagine? Aether focus with chaos conversion
I have not tried this specific option, but if I wanted, I would go for 100% chaos and fire conversion and 50%+ elemental conversion. One small problem: I am obsessed with Lucky Bullets :). Such a shame there is no interaction between Aether and Pierce.
Actually, with correct constellations it might be possible to create a respective pure aether purifier, but I will allow someone else to be the pioneer )
BTW, the best damage was from Lightning Elementalist.
I still have one question to the Vortex: will anything interesting happen if an attack has a double penetration? With Smite or Cadence, for example.
Does this mean the Ugdenbog arcaneweaver has the same property? Or does the “chance to pass through enemies” only apply to the initial shot on this weapon?
According to the wording, the effect should be the same. I have not tested it, however.
Ok, I’ve tested it without any other change. Much stronger. And will be more with a correct adjustment.

Why not The Desolator?
100% Chance to pass through Enemies (Hidden)
Pure fire damage.
Much, much higher attack speed.
+2 to all skills in Demolitionist
skill modifiers…
Gonna try it out on weekends.
Desolator is just different build…
But it was buffed recently and is definitely premium ranged build!

The idea to combine “100% Chance to pass through Enemies” with Fire Strike and WPS is awesome.
It’s really fun to play cuz the more enemies you have - the faster you kill them.
I feel happy every time some boss summons a bunch of minions and immediately loses a chunk of hp because of that 
Clearing a tight corridor with a single shot also feels quite nice
Tested it with The Desolator and some minor (for now) changes to the build: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/pZrOP0jN
I had a very significant reason for not using the Desolator: I did not know about it :). I tried so hard to make the Vortex work and never had an idea to search for other similar weapons in Grimtools. And they exist. And builds with Desolator are present here - for example: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/nZo6xMdV
Why is this stat hidden on weapons? Ehh… mockery.
(…a few hours later) [1.1.4.2] Skorkh, Railrocketshotgun Pistoliero - DW Ranged Fire&Lightning Dagallon Justicar Purifier (no greens, Gladiator) https://www.grimtools.com/calc/D2p653KZ
Now it takes <9 minutes with 4 blessings

With 3 blessings and 1 banner it took 8 minutes. But I am not used to banners, so the result might be non-representative.

Yeah, these pistols manage WPS with maximum fun
I am still not sure about the amulet and medal.
Hey guys! Nice thread! But why are you using Conviction on elemental builds? Fashion statement?

Hi!
I use it because I have conversion, I like the stats and Censure’s effect is partially compensated by the amulet. If I manage to replace the amulet with something more relevant, I will probably change the aura too. Any suggestions?
This is a more up-to-date version of the concept: [1.1.4.2] Skorkh, Railrocketshotgun Pistoliero - DW Ranged Fire&Lightning Dagallon Justicar Purifier (no greens, Gladiator)
Yes, actually
Use desolator gun (it has penetration now too!)
and use either epic beronath ammy for flat damage and attack speed, or ulzuin ammy for defence.
AoC is a must
Consider also using non-m. blood sigil for the medal. 18% racial against humans is huge against maiden who has massive fire res
Yes, sir!

Your propaganda found its way to my heart and here it is! My new personal high score: 8:30 with 4 blessings and no banner (it was the 1st attempt and I did not try afterwards). Hopefully, it is not bad; I don’t know because everyone plays with a banner and I don’t :).

It’s certainly not a bad time, and it certainly lets you farm crucible. So great job on the build, and I’m glad my advice could help!
TBH, I play with no buffs/banners 
Not that the timing matters at all because this is a single player game, and you should just have fun with it…but to give you some idea:
-
Any build which can reliably farm 150-170 fast enough to upkeep 100 tributes at the end of the farming session is, IMO, a great build. So it sounds like you’re able to do just that.
-
Builds at the very tippy top of the tippy top can typically do 4 buffs, no banners in ~6:30, with the fastest being ~5:30.

Hmhmhm. I have never seen these builds(. Now I will try to pay attention to them; thanks!
Well, I needed a purpose after retiring from Hardcore :).
I used to do the same. Now I can afford a buff
Thank you (and everyone) for the useful advices!
Well, if you want to see some sub-6 clears, here are 2 which pops into mind. 1 is by @thejabrixone, and the other is by me (though I have asked for my build to be nerfed, so this probably won’t be possible come 1.1.5.0)
EDIT: Linked the wrong build
