I’ve been having a lot of fun with this build lately, and I don’t think I have ever seen anything similar here, so here goes. I love exploring the possibilities offered by Conduit of whispers amulets, and sometimes, something pretty good comes out.
Build has few buttons.
Keep Pneumatic burst active, cast Ill Omen to debuff at the start of fights, use the 2 movement skills to reposition and let Drain essence do all the work. As long as you’re hitting something, you’re almost invulnerable.
Performance
Crucible
I’m really bad at crucible. I only tried once and died in wave 167. I have no doubt that it’s possible however.
I will update once I have something to show for.
Shattered realms
Cleared SR80 without dying, so it likely can go further. Iron Maiden and Fabius are the only 2 that give me pause.
I’ve tried both, and RE is more awkward to use, for me at least.
When I use Ill Omen, I am sure to hit whichever big target I aim at. RE is more spray and pray. In both cases, the damage is negligible, and the difference is only 4% DR. You make a good point about devotions, however. I have one devotion bound to my Medal augment skill because I have nothing else reliable.
Another downside is I would have to steal some skill points elsewhere, so there is a tradeoff…
@DeputyChuck did you follow a build guide at all? To get you to a certain point? I looked through the beginner builds and I’m not seeing one for reaper.
as a side note, PB reaper is probably about one of the easiest leveling approaches
tho i actually thought there was an AA+wps fleshwarped strikes beginner reaper too
i made a “bingo card” of which guidse were missing, but a couple have been added since, incl Reaper,
i think witch hunter and sorc are still some of the missing ones?
I leveled this character as a cold Shadow Strike/Bone harvest + AA melee character. No guide.
Though you could probably level it with cold Drain Essence.
Druid Should be pretty easy to level with Primal Strike
Defiler… no clue
Sorcerer/ess Could be either FS or Calidor’s tempest
Witch Hunter: Acid Shadow Strike should work
@Gnomish_Inquisition I appreciate that you found one. Due to the forum having multiple build guide sections, it can be challenging to locate some of these at times. It is what it is. Also, in the future. It would be helpful for other people if you posted a link instead of an image.
all beginner/leveling guides should in general be in the same place
(hence why i merely posted a pic, my bad tho)
i think that’s why those guides aren’t covered yet
druid you just use primal strike warder, or trozan warlock etc, and then substitute the part that’s missing, ie make adjustments for arcnist isntead of soldier etc etc since the other parts still fits
likewise sorce would be just be generic demo leveling, bwc+canister or whatever other demo/arcanist fire based starter guide there is avail
witch hunters can basically copy vit pb reaper, or any acid approach, heck even cold ss works because occultist will just be a buff bitch
defiler i think is the tough one, there aren’t many “attractive” end game builds, and it’s so less synergetic during leveling that you almost might just go mono class leveling
a fun potential could ofc be pets, and i think i’ve seen a pet defiler post somewhere, but not in the sense of leveling guide, because you’d likely still just go full necro mainly, and not “proper” hybrid early/mid-game even if the items are there
or no one is interested in doing a detailed leveling diary on that bastard of a class
Maybe. You are correct. The second picture I posed is where you found your image. I went to the one in my first picture. If you go inside of that one. I wasn’t able to locate the build.
Cool build if it works.
All i see is that Necromancer “gravechill” converts 100% Aether damge to cold, and since i thought skills come before items DE suppose to get stucked with cold damge.
Can anyone tell me why the it gets converted into Acid Damage?
Ps. You need to change the name of the build guide to Guldan - ofc Celestials - for blood and honor
Skill modifiers like conduit and transmuters happen at same time. Only half of aether will go to acid, but we get big 25% dmg increase to all the rest. Cold damage is not entirely wasted either
Oki I see. So what we sre looking for is % to cold damage and % to acid damge when we are looking for gear?
I’ve made some changes to the build so I could kill the ravager. Now I wanna see if I can get some greens or perhaps a set in to further improve this Guldan build. Thx
I tried both in-game, and adding Gravechill increases both acid damage and total damage substantially. I didn’t do the maths… I just checked before and after putting the point there
It doesn’t I lose a portion of the total damage from aether to cold… but the payoff is still worth it. I also have about 1300% cold damage increase, so it’s not completely wasted.
