Hi everyone !
Relatively knew player here. I’m playing this character mostly copied from Bagel’s Build
The build is performing ok, and i’m able to clear SR32, with little to no death, but pretty slowly.
I’m posting this topic mainly to receive guidelines on how to optimise this (devotions, gear choice…)
So far i’m feeling devotions choices are pretty meh, and arcane harmony leggings don’t seem like the best but i found no replacement that also meets the spirit needs the build has.
Main issue is damage i feel, because OA is on the limit of the acceptable (i heard 28K minimum). On the other hand, i can facetank SR nemesis inside the inquisitor’s seal.
Thank you for any bit of guidance you can give me on how to make this build better overall !
At a glance, it looks like your WPS is at 75% right now. Losing a few points from Zolhan’s Tech (12/12 still gives you the 5 target breakpoint) and putting one point into each of the Inquisitor pierce WPS would probably help a bit. I’m not sure how well the build would stand up to SR30+ without it, but Serenity is a very defensive relic - Vengeance might be worth a look. You would have some reworking to do as far as resistances are concerned. I’m also wondering if there’s a way to fit Nameless Soldier on your devotion tree since those bonuses and the adcth from the Shadows would probably be right up your alley.
Edit: forgot to mention - your OA looks fine to me. You have a substantial amount of crit damage, and with Fighting Spirit + Deadly Aim you should be reliably hitting 3.3-3.7k, which is enough to reliably crit anything in the game (celestials included) up through SR36. Markovian’s Advantage also applies a DA debuff that stacks with the Seal of Annihilation proc, which is another effective ~140 OA on top of everything else. If you intended to refer to DA, I’ve generally aimed for about 2.8-2.9k on ranged builds in the past and it has worked out well for SR. Celestials are a different story but I don’t think you want to be facetanking those with most ranged builds anyway.

Thanks for the input !
I thought i was at 100% wps with zolhan,markovian, valdun treachery (amulet) and valdun’s clip (hat) but maybe thos last two aren’t wps ?
Nameless soldier seems like a great option, probably going by assasin and something else. I will try it ty !
You are correct about the WPS, I missed that the valdun’s set gives you 2 different procs (amulet and set bonus). Shouldn’t need to worry about that.

I tested a bunch of Valdun setups before I stopped playing.
This was the final and most well-rounded version I came up with:
For SR having the Bursting Round WPS feels a bit better imo, but for slaying Celestials, this was more consistent.
The medal can be swapped for Direwolf or Insignia of Justice or whatnot, if you don’t want to farm a good Gutworm Medal (he has bias towards dropping Pierce/Bleed, so it’s not so bad a grind).
The green ring should be vendor-farmed from Vinelthon in the Ancient Grove.

i wonder if chill rounds fast charging cadence would be worth over markovian here, despite resulting in sub 100% wps/only 95+ wps
