1 nemesis is rarely a problem. It’s a group of them which makes me worried. Having 2 reapers hit you at the same time or getting hit by annie’s devastation + grava simultaneously.
What an awesome build, thank you for putting this together. It also seems very fun to play and has a bit of everything. Kiting, positioning, damage and enough defensive abilities. A rather obvious build for sure, still surprised it works so well! Very solid devotion choices, have you tried Leviathan? I guess you lose too much tanky stats for that.
> 1 point in merciless repertoire gives a lot of %cold damage
> RoS is used only for the fumble, and you already have pierce/cold conversion on items so transmutor isn’t needed
> VoS gives better DA returns than shadow dance
> You don’t need 12/12 PB since you don’t rely on speed. 6/12 PB is where you start getting decreased returns
> Hard capping Night’s chill is a must for instant RR
Why 17 in shadow dance and not 16 with one point in veil of shadows (better da and debuff radius)? And why so much in the seal for a build that kites 99% of the time? Also, how do you deal with Kaisan with 3% overcap on acid res? His Acid Bolt should one-shoot you anywhere below sr80.
Nice build,I was thinking to try it when saw the set!Medal is interesting choice.My first instinct was Undying oath,but this gives OA and mod to Censure.Too bad about Leviathan.But the fact is this build can do 75,so it’s impressive!
It is a checkpoint, but regardless, with 7 - 8 mutators up, you’re almost garaunteed to get bad ones because there’s so many:
> -10% damage to players
> +70% hp to monsters
> Increased resistance to your damage type to monsters
> -100 DA
> +6% OA to monsters
etc. etc. etc.
You can’t escape them.
@OP: Is it okay if I ask for a copy of your character’s saved file? I just want to understand how it plays/pilots, and I don’t want to go through the trouble of GDstashing an exact copy.
Look mate. My failure to understand is probably a reflection of my ignorance, and not your build.
But if you’re asking for the reasons behind my confusion it’s as such:
> Seal is only 15/12, that doesn’t help much @75 and above. I’ve been one-shotted through MoT before.
> RoS + SD is a gamble. You have ~50% chance of getting hit each time someone attacks you
> Your DA is low which means you WILL get crit
EDIT: Oh, and your stun res is 20%. Which means one misplay and you’re dead.
2nd EDIT: To further explain my confusion about 15/12 seal -
15/12 seal absorbs 250 damage from every instance of damage your character takes.
I don’t see how 250 damage can make/break a crippling (and possibly lethal) blow dealt by someone like kaisan.
The thing which is helping you the most here is your dodge/fumble. But again - that’s a gamble.
