Hi everyone! I would just want to give back to the community and share this build I have been trying to optimize for a while now.
It all started when I picked up the Mythical Inashkor’s Corrupted Head and I started theorycrafting. But, it turned out so bad. I was still levelling up this Witchblade back then.
Afterwards, I got to level 94 and checked which armors that support internal trauma damage and Targo’s got my attention. Supports Blade Arc, and also does not have any off-hand as its set part.
I posted another Reddit thread showing the progress back then. There were numerous suggestions and recommendations. Components were bad because I was still progressing to 100. Aaaaand I was so set in getting Solemn Watcher devotion that I forgot that there’s Titan Plating for the reflect damage reduction LOL.
So that’s enough backstory.
The playstyle if not obvious is to use Curse of Frailty + Warcry → Blitz → Blade Arc → Doom Bolt → Seismic Leap (optional), and then walk away and let internal trauma damage with Targo’s Hammer from the armor set do its work. Both Blade Arc and Doom Bolt deal decent damage (not as decent as those builds focusing more on either of them) due to their crit damage modifiers, combined with high offensive ability of the build should do crits alot. And also, from what I’ve read, DoTs love OA and crit damage% (I’m new-ish player, started only around June or July (?) 2024 and now at 540hrs).
ALTERNATIVES
-
Fleshwarped Casque and Mark of Harvoul for the 24/7 uptime of Warcry.
-
Mythical Decree of the Circle of Five, Benn’Jahr’s Shoulderguards and Rah’Zin’s Armor.
-
Changing one of the Rings to Combustion Band or Mythical Ring of the Black Matriarch for additional physical resistance shred (if you have a Diviner’s Gargabol ring) which results to losing 1 point in Doom Bolt. And of course, if it triggers you like it does me, double Gargabol’s with one having Diviner’s so that Doom Bolt is hardcapped.
-
Golemborn, Earthshatterer or Stonetreaders for boots.
-
Balthazar’s Crest for hardcapping Laceration (weakest alternative for this build imo).
WEAKNESS/PROBLEM
Since you are running around, while waiting for the 1.1second cd of Warcry (or not if you’re using the alternative), the weakness of the build is when you are hindered either by the number of mobs around you, the size of the room, or Trap.
END
This build is really comfortable for me. I have other builds but this is the first build I want to share since it’s my first that I actually made myself. I really like the playstyle and I hope to share the enjoyment with you.
I can’t really record vids or clips since I play on the Steam Deck. My PC is too old to handle both play + record via OBS. I tried connecting the Deck to the PC for recording, but the quality is ass since the resolution is for the Deck’s OLED.
I just want to share this achievement anyways. I will try Mogdrogen and Callagadra next. Not really sure if I want to fight Crate with this build. SR85-86 viable but use the Fleshwarped Casque + Mark of Harvoul combination instead.
