I have only played a summoner. Have hit 85 and don’t like that I can’t really kill nemesis bosses efficiently. I can do the shrine runs, but I get tired of that easily as I play an arpg because of the A.
I need advice/recommendations for a build that will be better suited for that purpose. I like playing ranged, but I am willing to give anything a whirl.
I also need advice on twink gear. Every item in this game seems to have a level associated with it, so other than the rep. mandates, I am not sure what else you can do to twink out your char so they can level faster.
I certainly understand that end game build effectiveness is in large part based on the gear you have. So for what its worth, here is what I have banked so far:
Weapon
Aldanar’s Vanity
Arcanum Sigillis
Barrelsmith’s Crossfire
Beacon of the Winter’s Veil
BloodSong
Butcher of Burrwitch
Dawnbreaker’s Sledge
Death Omen
Exonerator
Havoc
Nex
Nightshade’s Reach
Ortus
Silverbolt
Stonefist Rebuke
Temporal Arcblade
The Adversary
Ultos’ Stromseeker
Venomslash
Off-Hand
Codex of Lies
Dawnbreaker’s Duty
Fiend’s Resolve
Skull of Gul’Amash
The Final Stop
Armor
Boneshatter Treads
Dread Armor of Azragor
Grasp of Unchained Might
Mantle of Dreeg
Markovian Visor
Trozan’s Mantle
Venomspine Greaves
Viperfang Gloves
Wyrmbone Handguards
Wyrmscale Footguards
Belt
Blade Breaker Sash
Guthook Belt
Hammerfall Girdle
Sash of the Bloodlord
Sash of the Immortal Sage
Wildblood Girdle
Accessory
Avatar of Mercy
Direwolf Crest
Invoker Shard
Signet of the Fallen
BloodSong + Butcher of Burrwitch + Guthook Belt + Direwolf Crest = Bleeding Trickster.
However, please note that while a bleed build can destroy Fabius and Valdanar, it will struggle with Moosilauke and Benn’Jhar. Actually…it will struggle with undead (SoT) and shaleborns (30% of BoC) even at -80 bleed resistance reduction.
HINT: some mobs in this game have more than 100% bleed resist on ultimate.
Do the Dahlia secret quest and get a Stormheart from your summoner, you can get the 2nd one from your second char so that you have BiS weapons for Saboteur
Read a little on bleeding trickster. Ranged fighter, so sounds like something I would like. Also nice that I already have some of the important gear. Do you have any links to a build or leveling guide?
Is there such a thing as twink gear for faster leveling?
Any other recommended builds?. I think farming Fabius may be my target since he seems to be fairly easy to locate. My understanding is that other than the nemesis named drop, the loot table is the same for all of them, so farming one is as good as farming them all (other than warrants)?
Hey, man…I looked again at some of the legendaries you collected during your first playthrough and remembered I made a build some time ago most people thought would be impossible to make. It turns out I have not only made it viable, but HARDCORE Ultimate viable.
I can post some links below for you to see how it performs in action and, if you are interested, I can give you the full specs. In over 1.5k hours of GD I think this was the easiest time I had in the game.
