[1.1.9.0]Belgothian's Sands of Slaughter - 105 Cunning DW Blademaster

http://www.grimtools.com/calc/4Vxb4qeN
i use mark of divinty instead direwolf crest(direwolf crest only for crucible, because i’m on second dif.)
i also created this with beronath,reforged, and replaced the epic ring with lifegiver signet to get some lifesteal again ( will put haunted steel on reforged beronath soon, i dont have materials to craft new one and i’m not sure should i destroy second reaver claw)

What a bummer :cry: Are you just assuming they’re going to nerf it or has it been confirmed by Crate?

It’s been confirmed long ago. It’s technically a fix as it was never supposed to happen in the first place

Just to add insult to injury, beloghitan slaugher got nerfed too… feelsbadman.

So heres the big question, is this build even still worth it after the patch or can I finally give up on farming for it?

Just tested some crucible, still feels good.

true ? cool because i’m leving the char lvl 79 atm ; i hope it still work -_-

I must say i am really dissapointed from crate…

i have no problem they fix a bug (devoition > whirling blades)…

but they nerfs the did to the belgothians set are massive. if you look at the patch notes, all classes get buffed while we blademsters that use this et get nerfed to the ground (again)

BIG THX crate. good job !

The nerf to auto attack is not so devastating really (unnecessary realy but not dramatic - it’s like they gave belgo a slight spank on the butt cheeks just to make sure or something). The nerf to Shears mod is Off-set by buff to nadaan devo - 10 flat pierce- and as for rest of wps it’s a net gain. All in all we can work with it. I’ll post the update tonight

I was using seal of blades with blind fury, blind fury somehow escaped the fix but someone already reported it lol.

Blades of Wrath got a little buff too which is welcome. Blind fury does flat pierce damage too

They buffed blades of nadaan, blades of wrath, living shadow and a huge buff to blind fury. Sure looks like a buff for BM to me. You can’t really complain about getting the short end of the stick here…

Me too, everything you had bound still works, like me having the void bullet in LMB now works with every shot, not calculating the 16% chance to proc.
For now as long as you don’t touch anything it still works, but seriously FUCK that guy immediately reporting that error.

No use in delaying the inevitable

I’m not sure if the buffs make up for the dps loss from the set. My dummy times are like 3 secs slower than before, tests before and after patch done without seals.

Why no seals?:smiley:

wow a 100 cunning build

with the armor absorption changes, you could consider freeing up some points from scars of battle

nope, i changed conponents

Been holding off to try my shelved blademaster since they got gutted in 1.0.0.6/7 and i managed to collect Belgo`s set.

What is the verdict after latest patch - can this build safely farm Gladiator? My char has 2:1 ratio Phy:Cunning since i dont like dying left and right (aiming for above 2700 DA). Using Judicators signets as i feel the huge loss of OA and DA is not worth it.

Tested attaching Blind Fury to Blade spirit - didnt notice any possitive change (or am i just imagining?) apart from that i have to press 1 more button every 12 seconds - it ruins the fluidity for a blademaster build imo.

Superfluff would you be able to post an updated build for 1.0.3 or if you can share few pro tips what should i aim for to achieve a blademaster farming solo Gladiator without getting my hair white :slight_smile:

Build updated to patch 0.3 with explanation, pic grim tools gear, bindings etc. Here is the Main update excerpt from the build page where you can find the full build:


0.3 Updated Pic with auras up, no temporary buffs

Grimtools: http://www.grimtools.com/calc/pZrlJeM2
UPDATED to 0.3:

Gains:

[i]- ~5k DPS due to Augments in weapons + Jewlery (you can choose how much survivior’s ingenuity you want ot Hammerfall Powder) and Nadaan buff 10 flat pierce

  • Over 400 armor rating due to new components changes which allows us to buff up some more
  • ~80 OA due to medal change. You can choose to keep old OA and go for 50% pierce AoM Damage Augments/ survivor’s ingenuity combo like I did.
  • More real world OA and dmage due to speccing to 12 pt. Fighting spiririt. Rylok Medal +Fighting Spirit is an interesting combo and it can shred. You can have 4.5K OA in crucible.[/i]

Losses:

[i]- Seal of blades proccing, naturally, though Belgo Shears proccing feels ok.

  • A bit of flat damage on auto attack and Belgothian Shears mod % damage but this is off-set by points listed in gains section.
  • New medal is harder to get[/i]

Overall we are doing well
