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.
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.
Hi @Retal_Abuser , the build has had some buffs and nerfs since 1.1.9.1, is the performance still more or less the same?
Also, I don’t have any Wendigo eye medals with pierce damage, the best I have is harmonius of readiness or unyielding of the fox, but I’ve been thinking about using black star of deceit, less damage and 1 less point in death sentence, but more lifesteal, more attack speed and more RR from the proc seem quite good. What medal do you think I should use between those three?
Build is more or less the same, you can use Harmonius medal of readiness, should help with resistances.
Banana_peel did a more green heavy approach with much more dmg than mine just fyi
What build do you think is more survivable? I’m not that good of a player so more damage won’t help much if I’m diying all the time though (I mainly play SR if that helps).
SSF beginner version coming soon™
very nice
