The Salazar blade, despite it’s lack of direct pet buffs, is my favorite item for pets. I try to shoehorn it in to any build I can. I like the temp pet, but the only way to have it out all the time is to have not one, but two daggers and two temp pets I can alternate (sounds good in theory, but I tend to button mash). There are various options to make effective dual wielding pet toons, I went with using Nightblade vs. an item. That and a conduit that synergizes nicely with hell hound / Harbringer pets, gives the class some -rr%… it isn’t much, but for a meme build I’ll take it. I ran SR65 a few times with this, it is surprisingly able… it is not going to set any records, but SR65 is a very comfortable, if somewhat slow experience.
Damage is all over the place. I probably don’t need that Yugol ring (I don’t have Rumor, Manticore), but… since I have phys and vitality damage to do something with, and have Nightblade + Occultist skills and their respective rr types, I felt I might as well layer on some poison / cold damage on top of the chaos and fire damage. Yea, i makes no sense, but meme builds don’t have to… they just have to work well enough, and this one does. But, gotta wonder how other options might work… Bys chlling seal? Pet-friendly bloodsworn sig? Another Voidwhisper? Khonsar?
SR65, not too exciting, steady grind through chunk 4.
I’ll actually have to play a little and unlock some content with this one, I think it is capable… maybe more to come. But, at any rate, there it is.
