Avenger is pretty good, not touching any other melee 2H

Ravager of Flesh 48 seconds kill
SR 30-31 4:16 run (short rooms)

Re-made my Judicator version for this Upheaval patch. It feels great again: full wps pool, perfect qol, decent enough tank. Upheaval is a wps now, 146% wd/27% chance to use at level 11, set gives 60% wd. Resists are pretty tight and “On Death” nature of Judicators’ proc is as annoying as ever but other than it’s a very satisfying 2H melee experience, thank you, Zantai.

Ravager of Flesh 46 seconds kill
SR 30-31 4:03 run (short room, lucky run)

This one has similiar damage but slower clear overall. Pretty great all in all.

How dare you to do a sub 4:30 run? :stuck_out_tongue:
Z on his way to nerf. :thinking:

Whelp, guess I need to try out the patch then :stuck_out_tongue:

Because then my Warder Upheaval+Savagery build might just work finally.

Edit - Also you lack of Pierce overcap disturbs me greatly, it screams “death via Fabius/Benn ahead”. But if it works, it works I guess.

Right, testing out the test patch, old take didn’t work as well as this:

Change to Upheaval feels so, so very much better, wish Avenger came with an increased chance for it to proc though, but yeah, I’ll take that 1 minute off the average time happily :stuck_out_tongue:

Also forgot to use Kraken yet again >_<

One of the most useless overcaps in SR 30-31 in my experience.

This calc is such a mess (no pun intended): from forgotten Kraken to 4/12 War Cry (without Warborn helmet) to messed up wps pool. With a properly min-maxed Warder this can do really well.

they don’t reduce pierce resistance tho :thinking:
only thing reducing pierce res is Magi Orissia *while also having pierce dmg attacks

Obviously can’t have that, Zantai. You know what to do. :hammer:

Let’s leave him right where he is…

Still dont know what to think of Scion of the Screaming Veil. I need some help here:

If you go Bonemonger with SofSV Oath/Necro you basically have a much worse Avenger build on paper?

If you go SofSV with Veilkeeper Shaman/Necro you only have single RR and not even great regen unless you invest heavy into devotions.

If you go SofSV with Veilkeeper Shaman/Arcanist = Omegalul

You also never get %Weapon damage to either Necrotic/Reaping Strike or any arc/extra targets.

Is SofSV missing something? Is Veilkeeper missing something? Is the aether conduit missing something? Am I missing something?

Is Heart of Theodin Marcell gatekeeping Veilkeeper?

Maybe give Scion some Aether damage to Savagery, buff Veilkeepers WPS a tiny bit + give it Aether RR to Winddevils? Or move some RR to the conduit?

Huh, so then the Myth. Bloodfury helm isn’t that good right? Typical lawl.

Also did use Kraken finally, but took some tweaking to get it to run as well as Vire + Oleron:

14

losing all rr for 2+secs? - getting tiny bleed in return :thinking:

15

You are still going all the wrong directions with it. Just compare it the Warder I’ve done.

16

need to make a "budget"Top setup too with less expensive warborn helmet :sweat_smile:

“Warrior’s” is a common rare prefix on it and it can work with Devastating as well. It’s an easy drop. It’s Golluses that are going to be the longest farms on that build.
