INTRODUCTION
Hello everyone. Since I have not seen a recent take on ranged pierce Cadence and also because many builders have mentioned that it sucks I decided to make my own. The build is based on @mad_lee’s Valdun Purifier so I stole some things from it, like the devotion map.
crafts for stun/slow res
Alternative more offensive version to save crucible times
Stats with permanent buffs
Cadence Tooltip with Inq Seal/Deadly Momentum/ Ulzaad’s Decree and Deadly aim
PERFORMANCE
SR perfomance is good, just be aware of Maiden/Fabius/Kaisan they hit hard. I didn’t meet Rashalga or Anasteria but they should be easy with kiting.
Sadly, the build in CR is slow even with more Fighting Form investment, the aoe is still lackluster. Original Grimtools can barely do sub 7 mins. Cadence’s third hit and Fragmenting round have a lot of burst, but they are not enough to carry it in crucible.

CONCLUSION
Despite it’s disappointing CR performance it’s one of my favourite non retal-ranged builds.
At least Pierce can dance.
