@iteronMKV your build looks already very good. One item with easy 2 CS points is Mythical Blacksteel Gauntlets although your current one look very good. I don’t think Black Matriarch is worth swapping for anything, phys RR is very valuable. You can experiment with gloves I mentioned above and swap Briarthorn Band for very good creeping ring with retal stats/OA/resistances. If you want to check DPS after gear swaps I suggest to do Ravager few times with every choice and check timers. Although it can require recording (just for yourself, don’t need to upload it anywhere ) to be sure for every single second.
@Siroo Left one way better, Burn Retal is pretty much useless.
Since 1.1.9.0 Mythical Blacksteel Gauntlets got nerfed, wouldn’t it be more optimal to use some green like for instance Emberguard Gauntlets with some affixes?
I’m just starting out in theorycrafting so this is just me wondering
I would like to start making this build and was interested in what the optimal imaginary setup would be.
There was link with example update above: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/p25Y1E02
Best gloves without double rare would be Seraphim/whatever magic, if not rare then Blacksteel gauntlets I think.
Build was tested already but I do not play official update with data until some hotfixes, nerfs every patch are tiresome
I have played this on HC: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/1NXw9pBZ
It is before patch 1.1.9 - now i would use Octavius chest and helm and farm better gloves for sure, also with Octavius set i would use other rare boots or maybe Mythical Stormtitan Treads
I never was close to death - build is even too tanky.
If you are able to clear Magis you can farm Ring of Sethris if you don’t have it already, along the way to the Magis throne you can farm Korvan Spaulders.
You can get the shield from Hyram in Steelcap District. Set your spawn point in Malmouth Sewer teleport to the Steelcap District, check what Hyram has, exit to main menu and repeat that a lot of times until you get something decent. You can watch YouTube while doing it so you don’t get bored too much.
Ikrix is easy to farm but Incorruptible is really hard to get. Teleport to Prospectors Trail and go back to the cavern where you have to find Ikrix.
For legendaries go shattered realm. If you can’t clear it on higher difficulties you can play it on veteran or elite.
Stoneguard is tested already after nerfs and it’s still very good, on HC you can change components on rings for Runebuond Topaz or Bloodied Crystal for more DA/balance some more with physique and cunning. It’s however important to have over 3k OA to proc Assassin Mark and heal more.
Easiest setup would be my sr135 build but weapon need to be changed into Totally Normal Shield or Decree of the circle. On greens focus for physical resistances or use purples instead (I wrote possible changes for every build so possibilities are in OP).
@Siroo You can reset it with going into Homestead as example and checking shops of two vendors, that’s how I used to reset this merchant before.
It didn’t always reset for me when I tried that. It seems that there also is some timer, so in the end I checked both shops and waited 5s before porting back to Steelcap.
Hey @AlkamosHater, need some help optimizing my build. I could post my grimtools link, however I think it would be misleading because so many things have to be changed. I was farming a lot, I have almost all legendaries and epics in the game and the greens
that I have are:
Overlords Colossal Fortress of Thorns
Seraphim Korvan Spaulders of Attack
Seraphim Stoneplate Greaves of Thorns or Renegades of Blades?
I have many Ikrix Scales, however non are Incorruptible. I have Thunderstruck of Attack, are they the next best or something else? You can name me something else and I can check if I have it, I have many good ones.
I didn’t craft any Emberguard Gauntlets. Should I start crafting them or should I try to get better Stoneplate Greaves? What should I prioritize crafting of these two?
What should I use of these greens, do I use all of them or are some legendaries/epics better?
I have many questions, so please help if you have time. Thanks a lot for the guide!
these are builds made with GDstash, its a 3rd party tool taht can create any item with any affixes in the game. Trust me, you won’t be able to find overlord of wildfire which are 2 rare mods. Even a good suffix is hard to get. If you get overlord, you should be good to go, but dont expect the same results.
Good luck mate, in 4hours you got 4 overlords of fortress? i think i spent like 7 hours farming and didnt got a single one, for comparison i bought every single scrap i could, i think i finished with like 900 or something lol
) to be sure for every single second.
