DPS spec - 43% Phys res
- Ravager / Mogdrogen tweak: devo bind swap to not Shadow Strike in a longer fight
- Calla tweak: 10/10 MoT, % Health armor augments, devo bind swap, Blade Barrier, Displacement
- Crate tweak: 10/10 MoT, % Health armor augments, Displacement
- @romanN1 used 1/1 Ring of Steel (pulled from Ill Omen) in his SR and CR runs
Phys Res spec - 56% Phys res
- Ravager tweak: devo bind swap to not Shadow Strike
- Calla tweak: Health augs, devo bind swap, Displacement + Evade
Calla spec - 67% Phys res
instead of Elemental Storm- the highest Phys res, Armor & DA of all the builds
- augments & skill points tweaked for Calla
In the specs above:
-
30% sheet Slow Res is fixed by 45% Inspiration proc and / or crafting bonuses
- if that’s not enough for you, you can try to get Of Amarasta’s Flurry on some green
-
Casting Speed can be maxed by above average rolls and / or Dread Skull in the medal
-
affixes are chosen for maximum performance but not required,
Aggressives of Attack / Frostbite and one affix fixing overcaps are fine
Easier Itemization - 50% Phys res
- different ring and pants providing higher sheet Casting Speed, Slow res, Resistances, Aetherial racial
- however it’s not worth to lose Wraithwalkers for them imo since they can be remedied as mentioned
Stats:
- try go get as low Vit → Acid and as high Vit → Cold conversions as you can
- max Phys res on gear
- I noted some affixes that can help with overcaps:
- Harmonius
- of Amarasta Flurry
- of Winter Storm
- Tempest
- Yellow prefix with resists
- I noted some affixes that can help with overcaps:
Math:
-
Scion of Bitter Winds Vit → Acid conversion on Drain Essence
is only a bit higher than 15% with good rolls which is more than
made up by the weapon’s offensive bonuses -
DW Shadow Strike procs Elemental Storm with 97.75% chance
I like it for shorter fights but it’s not mandatory since Nemesis is
free so you can bind Blizzard to it and Elemental Storm to Spirits

48s Crate vs DPS Spec | Naked - where and how fast I move my character to leave crates behind is very important here
2:10 Mogdrogen vs DPS spec | Naked - facetanking (sundered) is possible but hard, with pharma and only 10s faster
12s Lokarr vs DPS spec | Naked
1:07 Ravager vs DPS spec | Pharma
1:14 Ravager vs DPS spec | Naked - this time wouldn’t be possible without Harp due to Ravager’s energy leech pools
1:20 Ravager vs Phys Res spec | Pharma
1:55 Callagadra vs Phys Res spec | Pharma - not the tankiest but the most balanced which results in the best time
2:02 Callagadra vs Calla spec | Pharma - despite facetanking the most, the time is slower because of lower dps
3:10 Callagadra vs DPS spec | Naked - too fragile to have a decent time
4:16 SR 75-76 vs DPS spec | @romanN1
4:41 CR 150-170 vs DPS spec | Extra Naked @romanN1
Personally I only played SR 75-76 a bit. I didn’t test multi-pulls but at least in chunks I didn’t find a single room / cluster**** of monsters big / dense / dangerous enough that could kill me after I SS-d into it from afar, thanks to 
most probably. I think this strategy might be better for chunks than hunting for Nemeses. For maximum speed I also recommend Shadow Striking combined with camera rotation.
The build could probably beat some decent high SR as well, especially if using Mark Of Torment but I didn’t attempt it and procrastinated by playing some meme builds or builds by other players instead.
Beginner SSF idea
