only Modified by -20%? Shouldn’t be a great problem. I guess they(lighting, acid, and maybe phys) will be still very good.
Went from 4:30 average on buffed crucible to 4:45. Still an okay build on that matter. Tho now it’s more mutator dependent. I’ll be testing banana’s acid build if I get the time for it.
phys is more sensitive with these value changes because it is always reduced by armor. my Chinese friends have tried Acid: Sheet DPS went down from 240k to 210k. It’s just a piece of cake for retal because retal does not rely on only one spell.
Still super good (both tankiness and damage) unless a super high retalitaion modifier comes, or some mechanism changes happen.
Yeah i don’t think anyone was gonna light the torches on this one, 60-80% rta spam skill is smth that basically overshadows every retal option so -20% looks ok dmg-wise.
But it would help if leech modifier on the medal would be buffed to 6% because sustain really isn’t great and it’ll force you to run around quite a bit which goes somewhat against retal nature or spam skill nature for that matter.
All they have to do to raise tankiness is raise DA to 2800 and get 30% all resist over maxium
I’m saying these values were the final v1.1.9.4 values that didn’t get synced, not some sneaky last minute fix submitted cause a build got posted.
Got that. So that’s why I don’t see any new patch notes with thet latest update.
So I’ve got a bit of time in my hands and not in the mood for making a new build, tested this one. Went from 4:30 average to about 4:45-4:50ish. Best run so far 4:22

Why only 1 point in Aegis? Why not the focus on acid retal on gear?
1 point in aegis because more points doesn’t add anything meaningful to a retal build. I didn’t stack any weapon damage for it to be useful.
Acid retal focus is because conversion from one damage type to physical is the only way to play physical spam aegis since the conduit which enables spam converts all native physical to pierce. You can do lightning and convert it with say, beronath sword or sandspitters but the most efficient is easily acid to phys.
I dont seem to be getting how the conversion works on this build. I guess there is a global conversion that overwrites the conversion to acid from some items?
The belt converts half of acid to physical and this is where the phys retal scaling comes from.

hi. I’m making this build rn. only missing some affixes on the MI:s. really nice build and solid performance. How would you compare this one to the one you mentioned that your friends did, in terms of offense/defense? the light and acid ones, with aegis spam. could you show me how they geared and skilled the acid retal aegis spam build?
60%, cause toxic gdshashing cruci builder stuff and stuff 
The most important affixes are celerity on rings and gildam arcanum on medal. Other than that, you want as much conversion as you can on the belt (while keeping resistances up of course).
As for the other builds, This links to mad_lee’s acid version. Look at the second latest post by supertolik, which is the latest update that includes spam aegis.
@banana_peel also has an acid one and a lightning one, just look for it on his youtube channel cause it’s gonna be buried by now. He does a ton of builds.Banana’s videos are pre nerf tho, I’m not sure he uploaded a post nerf vid. All I know is that playing crucible (and only crucible), this personally had the best timers compared to the others but your experience might change.

The fastest is lightning. It was 3:49 before the nerf, now over 4 mins.
That was hybrid right? Pure retal was 4:20ish
Why not just build all phys though? How does that work out? Is there a way to actually make this poison/acid?
You mean just use straight phys items instead of conversion? It doesn’t work cause conduit converts all phys on aegis to pierce.
If you want to make an acid build refer to the build by mad_lee I linked above.
Yeah, I meant straight phys items vs acid to convert
