SR75-76 speedrun, 4 maidens.
Run by me, best AAR build currently no doubt ( and probably consistently the top one for the last 2 years given how up and down aether has been and aether is glassy too)
Is combustion band a good alternative for gargabol ring? For more phys res shred? Or is the dps/oa loss not worth it
Its a decent alternative, will be a damage boost against IM and celestials but overall max % damage gargabol is still the best option.
Thanks for the prompt answer Yeah, I guess it makes sense against high resistance enemies. Right now I have some bad mods on gargabol so performance is pretty similar, but with proper mods the difference would be more noticeable.
Greetings, and thanks for this awesome build.
Iām planning on running a slight variant of it, because Iām not able to handle very many active casts or a complex rotation very well, and wanted to ask about the best way to handle a couple of changes, if you donāt mind.
Firstly, would Mirror or Nullification be better for a defensive cast? Iām leaning towards mirror because the total invulnerability seems better than the cleanse in an emergency.
Secondly, is the Deathstalker pet able to land crits?
Iām planning on avoiding using the Ravagerās Deathgaze skill, because of the need to keep repeatedly casting it in order to trigger the Ulzaadās decree. I wondered if I could use the AAR to trigger the decree more consistently, and leave the Deathstalker to trigger the assassinās mark. (Iām playing alongside a summoner who will also be packing 85+% Phys RR.)
Lastly, because I wonāt be using the Deathgaze, is there a helmet other than Ravagerās Dreadgaze that might be better suited to this build since I donāt need the skill from it. The +1 to all skills seems really hard to beat, but my knowledge of items in the game is very limited.
Any advice or feedback would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Iāll preface by saying that this way you are gimping the builds maximum potential. Just fyi, but you can choose to play it however you want to play it.
Both skills are some of the best you can use defensively, I would not recommend removing either of them, you donāt have to cast them off of cooldown too.
It can
You can trigger Ulzaad with second movement ability, AAR is a very fast Assassinās Mark proccer both in single target and aoe.
You can keep the helmet for the stats alone.
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate the responses.
Iām aware itās gimping itās capabilities, but itās one of the nicest AAR buildās Iāve seen, but itās just too complex an active cast list for me. Iām simply not capable of keeping track of that many things, as well as my positioning and aiming. Iāve tried in the past, and it just leads to me standing in damage zones and dying, or forgetting important casts, because I simply get overwhelmed. Cutting down the amount Iām trying to keep track of helps me maintain focus on whatās left.
Iāve tried to cut it down in a way that least hurts its ability to deal damage, but my experience with the game is limited. If you have suggestions on how to better do that, without me having to cast buffs/debuffs continuously throughout a fight, and without adding much more in the way of active casts, Iād definitely appreciate it. Modifications to the devotion tree too, if thereās anything that would better suit the streamlined variant Iām trying to go for.
Also, does the PhysRR debuff from Assassinās mark proc from itself? And how necessary is it if my partner is already going to be throwing PhysRR at stuff? Iām not sure what the cap on resistance reduction is, whether iw works additively or multiplicatively, and whether you can force things into the negative for more damage. 85% seems like a lot.
Thanks again for the advice.
You donāt have to cast the debuffs all the time, they are mostly important for bosses and heroes, white mobs will die just by channeling AAR. I would suggest trying out both mirror and nullification and see what works best for you and then maybe remove the other one. But you donāt have to press them all the time, especially if you are in multiplayer.
Yes, there is a blue swords icon that pops up when an enemy is affected by it.
-X% resistance reduction is additive and has no cap from all sources. Goes into negatives and comes first into calculation.
Reduced targetās X resistances for y seconds is additive but only the highest source will apply. Goes into negatives and comes last into calculation.
Reduced targetās %X resistances for y seconds is multiplicative and only the highest applies aswell. Comes second into calculation behind -X% and cannot go into negatives. It does work against targets with negative resistances only if -X% drops them to negative in the first place.
So it is important to have a lot of resistance reduction for the majority of builds, mostly with -X% and Reduced targetās X resistances because the multiplicative resistance reducion is harder to come by and isnāt as neccessary.
i really appreciate the detailed explanation, thatās immensely helpful. Iāll try out mirror and null as youāve suggested, and see what works for me, thatās a good idea, especially with how easy it is to respec. I had meant to ask if assassinās mark stacks with itself, not sure what my fingers did there, but the detailed explanation answers that.
Thanks again for all the help.
Have some advise to devotion bro?
you put all point to cunning on leveling or fix it at endgame?
