[1.1.4.2] Skorkh, Railrocketshotgun Pistoliero - DW Ranged Fire&Lightning Dagallon Justicar Purifier (no greens, Gladiator)

This is a DW version of [1.1.4.0] Skorkh, Railrocketshotgunner - 2H Ranged Fire Vortex Justicar Purifier (no greens, Gladiator)

My aim was to combine Dagallon pistols’ railgun potential with Fire Strike’s explosive modifiers and WPS which could most benefit from the both. The first edition of the build used Vortex, but good people told me it was not the only penetrating gun and now you can see a better version.

The build is focused on Fire Strike autoattacks with 100% WPS. The pistols allow the bullets to penetrate targets and Fire Strike’s explosive modifiers trigger at every collision. Some WPS contain their own blasts (triggered at every collision as well) while the others work as volleys or shotgun rounds, therefore multiplying the number of Fire Strike explosions. For example, Lucky Shot has 8 projectiles while DW and each of them adds damage from Explosive Strike and Brimstone. And if you are shooting at a group of enemies, multiply for each of them again. Therefore, positioning is crucial: you need to find spots to shoot as much targets at once as possible… Well, it would be important if they were not dying so fast :slight_smile:

The other skills are either buffs or debuffs - and Amatok’s Breath is for closing with the enemy and repositioning.

In order to use shotgun capabilities, I decided to sacrifice the last Dagallon set bonus and put the Justicar set armour on; its 3-piece bonus is probably better anyway. As a result, 3050 DA - without Solemn Watcher. Armour is 3100 while I lack 5% armour absorption and physical resistance is miserable :).

Crucible with 4 blessings and no banner is accomplished in 8:30.
The video below was made with an older edition of the build https://www.grimtools.com/calc/D2p653KZ - I used alternative medal, amulet, belt and Aura of Conviction instead of Aura of Censure. The result was a bit worse then - 9 min.

Also there is a glass cannon version of the build (full Dagallon). 4 blessings 0 banner - 07:30.

It is so fragile that it requires skill. Cannot even facetank the Queen. On the other hand, the mobility skill with 2,5 seconds CD makes the process fun :).

@Vexille - Dude, obviously english isn’t his first language. No need to laugh at him.

Updated the build with alternative medal, amulet, belt and Aura of Censure instead of Aura of Conviction as well as the OP.

Looks like this is the final version unless tremendous changes to the balance are to come!

Have you tried using 2x fire dagallons?

The lightning gun seems like a DPS drop

The difference is only 400%. I might try to change everything to fire damage, but Lightning components and augments are better, many items and skills work for the both damage types, I have conversion from chaos to lightning and some flat lightning damage and I would lose the huge set bonus. Need to think.
The thing I can really do is to exchange defences for DPS. But I am a coward :).

Welcome to the SC world my friend. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey,

May I ask why no full dagallon?

Hi!

Justicar chest is superior in defence (I can feel absolutely safe in the current version of the build). Set bonuses are good too. Last, I can pretend I am doing something new while wearing 2 half-sets :).

Ok, here is a glass cannon version of the build (full Dagallon). 4 blessings 0 banner - 07:30.

Hmm

I was asking becaus it worked pretty well last time I played it :smiley: I’ve never felt squishy

Maybe that’s because you’ve got skill?) Or it’s just my severe emotional traumas earned in Hardcore :).

sometimes more damage means you survive better because bad things go away :stuck_out_tongue:
