I found a way to make it tankier and simpler without sacrificing damage. Though still there are 5 skills in rotation excluding movement rune and FS and MoT. Trying to get an MI with more OA so I don’t have to use flashbang except fumble/aim debuff in boss rooms, one less skill 
@Ulvar1 probably will kick us(Split the posts) after midnight since we hijacked the thread again since he wanted this place to be sanctum of beginners so they learn in tranquillity.
SSF fire skeleton Defiler playthrough incoming in 2k21.
I actually did Defiler in the past. Only reason you don’t have one now is I managed to RIP at 87 against Ramzul. But it was a silly easy build to play, only lacking sustain a bit perhaps. It was fire 
Maybe I’ll remake it in 2021.
Would probably be similar to a dervish I guess. Except you probably want to farm Pusquil’s tail or Rift scourge slicers for leveling and then Rashalga for endgame.
At least you are talking about builds and not reddit as last time kekw
@eardianm what you think about this as budget ranged build? https://www.grimtools.com/calc/a2E01oJN (one can also use Fettan mask to begin with and perhaps too much DA for your taste) its some kind of miniversion of this build [1.1.5.0] Acid Ranged Dervish - 5:50 Crucible [g5][c+][vid]
and for anyone interested, a Commando sketch with the new MI 2H sword https://www.grimtools.com/calc/dVbql1z2
I levelled a Witch Hunter with that rifle around a year ago and recall finding it really easy personally. As soon as you get the rifle, it has insanely good AoE clear for crowds and took care of Bosses quickly during the early//mid levels and at an ok-ish speed during Ultimate. Your budget version looks solid as well.
Both good and not what I’m looking for as I don’t consider ABB an AA replacer for what most people are looking for with gun play in this game
But you can make RF Dervish and ABB just for LA and/or as nuke. But that probably requires the purple gun.
Also possible I guess is cold Bero+ABB Infiltrator (tpm build?), PS Vindicator is also decent with that MI crossbow.
I dont think ppl that starts playing GD even know what AA replacers and WPS etc are They just want something that is fun and easy to play and make At least I had a great time making that ranged ABB WH char back in the days. That was also before FG and all these new “power creep” mechanics like affix bias etc

I think I came up with a rather interesting budget Rutnick setup that eerily makes sense. I want to make it my next character.
28 sec dummy time on the prototype 
Sound promising, hope build also can survive other foes than target dummy 
No promises 
here i was expecting phys fw leveling… and then i see the title of “Fire Blade Arc”… 
- colour me intrigued
If you happen to drop a good Sunherald weapon with casting speed instead, I am sure one can do a pretty decent Fire FW build too
