Thanks, this time I mean it.
I understood crucible with buffs is constant, so run crucible via time cost. Personally, it’s about how good damage the build got and how good the people pilot the build. Rely on those colorful buffs, at least surviving is no longer a main concern.
Putting a build into SR 75+, which needs not only good damage output but also strong enough self surviving abilities. higher CC res, higher basic res caps, higher max health, etc will always be main concerns for the build.
Keep it in short. same build with buffs in crucible is able to face tank Anasteria and other bosses at the same time, but in SR 75+ its never gonna happen, even always being one shot by various bosses.
I don’t know how people value a build is good or not. For me a good build must be capable for running(solo) SR 75 76 that is never let the timer go to 0, even with possible 10~20 secs longer for crucible runs.
Fumble only works for melee attacks. Currently this char never be defeated by any melee bosses if 1 on 1. Having another active skill that deals fewer damage than auto-attack could be dangerous sometimes. Anyway for my cold trickster with Korba’s Fury set RoS I maxed with 26/26, it deals better damage also provide extra surviving possibilities for melee attack bosses.
Again, thanks a lot, Piercing infiltrator with Belgothian set is way better than this cold one for SR75+, the highest shard I made with it is 97 in 1.1.4.2 . This build is just for testing if cold may ever be good as other types for SR75+. It turns out still need buffs from crate.
Btw, I don’t hate crucible, I have a few builds that runs crucible under 6 minutes too. I played them for fun when I was tired with SR 75+. It’s fun to see the bosses one shot me in SR 75, and suddenly being one shot by me in crucible.
How does cold infiltrator compare with pierce belgo? Ive been playing with pierce belgo for a while and the RR is great on it but damage wise im just not feeling it especially aoe clear and bosses.
With dual wield melee builds putting out the most %WD in the game it’s something of a trivial matter to attain sufficient ADCTH throughput to manage sustain issues. Thus the question of SR durability falls to burst mitigation and that means physical damage. Others have already covered the questionable gearing and devotion choices, I’m just curious what manner of belgothian infiltrator this is being compared to. Censure +33% phys res mathematically outperforms whatever assortment of physical resist you’re going to manage on a pierce build short of wasting slots on things like formidable stoneplate greaves (to say nothing of wasted affixes here). Again, without a grimtools link there’s minimal substance to claims of “belgo infil is better for SR”.
And on the topic of greens we haven’t even reached chillstrifes yet.
For piercing infiltrator, make cunning as high as possible. Bull constellation is your best friend. Of course, if you use GD stash, craft Cut throat prefix and Dranghoul suffix for all jewelries and belt. For armor you wanna use prefix and suffix that has +x% cunning too, such as Seraphim. And that’s it. have fun
I’d say pierce got ahead. Cold was nerfed everywhere. Like every-fucking-where. Starting from Rumor, Ultos, and before that Amatok and DG, through just about every piece of gear and ending at LA, Anatomy of Murder, etc.
I tried as soon as 1.1.4.2 patch released( slightly before your new post), anyway Valdun got buffed and using Fire-strike with ranged build I had a lot of fun, but I prefer piercing infiltrator as it is able to hunt every single boss under 5 secs in SR 75
That hardly tells me anything compared to a grimtools. The question wasn’t about vague suggestions on gearing, it was about what exact pierce infiltrator this is being compared to.
So we’ve just got a suboptimaly setup deathmarked infiltrator to compare to a hypothetical belgo infiltrator? Doesn’t seem like much of a foundation for a discussion.
I suppose it’s only fair you bring up assumptions on my preference of infiltrators when that’s all we have to go on for this hypothetical pierce build. I merely stated the topic of chillstrifes hasn’t been explored in context. Now if you want to nail down a concrete build on such a thing we’d have a talking point.
