So i always wanted to do a Build around the Guillotine and a few days ago i got reminded of that when someone on Reddit asked about pointers for Blade Arc.
Its quite fun to play esp. if you like to see big numbers, at the training dummy for example the Bleed ticks for around 1 Million and it stays there for a while so you wack it a few times and then you might walk away - it will die, more then once.
How does it play
All things until SR 80 are not an issue we have an immense amount of Leech and 40%Physres.
from then on until SR 85 you need to start kiting that means Starting to hit the boss with asmuch Bleed as possible and then run away using a Flask or the Falcon Swoop proc on Devouring Swarm to heal yourself.
Depending on the enemy in question, your crit luck and the Time you can spend on it the bleed will last for around ~10 secounds for 500k to 1,3 million per tick. overall pretty save if you get a feeling for it. in SR90 it stays the same but you need to be more carefull
can it do more then 90? yes if played very very carefull i would not suggest it, its very slow.
Update
Thanks to the Help from @Crab_Turtle_2112 for suggesting a few changes listed in the comments this build can now Kill Callegadra/Ravager of Souls, mainly because the Falcon Swoop ability on the Devouring Swarm allows for a Full heal when in need of Kiting and/or having a nasty Dot
Cool build, you could improve it a little further by swapping in pants that require less physique, getting 3x Ateph’s Command in jewelry and grabbing Falcon devotion.
no! my darkest secret revealed and dragged into the light
anyway, thank you for the feedback, your work will be credited in the Version 2.0 once i manage to improve the build in a significant way in terms of SR/Celestial performance.
sorry for the late reply, i cant exactly tell you about how it all came together but falcon is very useful for healing IIRC. cause it can leech but if you have made an up to date version i can add your “take” on the main post.
i only quickly checked the notes for 1.2.1 and the Changelog for 1.3.0.
All of it should still work as advertised since non of the core items are getting changed significantly.
Let me know if it still works if you decide to try it!
You can use Wanton Carnage set rings if you don’t want to farm Cronley , but this affixes are must have if go for Cronley cause this build lacks offensive ability
I didn’t like that set when i saw it. I prefer farming cronley. I just don’t know if the affixes are must or others (like aggressive) would make the work.
good basic approach can be, click the affix, see what resist it gives/click the affix off, mouse over char resist, see if anything vital is missing
in this case the 2x bloodletter is covering chaos res, so that would have to be made up elsewhere at minimum, aside from “all the” OA, + a smidge health Warder, Level 100 (GD 1.2.1.6) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator
I got one of this. I’ll keep it by now as it would allow me to drop som phys to pump cunning. I’ll go for the 2nd. Then if i’m motivated, i’ll try him some extra times.
