Haven’t edited it in yet, copy pasted from my Pet Purifier because lazy to type it all in manually :stuck_out_tongue:

(yes, I know that the new forums just shorten the link into thread title and you don’t need to hyperlink, but I do it anyway as force of habit)

Never needed it :sunglasses:

Build is pretty tanky despite the meme nature.

But then again, soldier is basically obelisk mastery-fied, so win some, lose some.

Interesting use of this meme class! :ok_hand:

Squad tactics are giving 10% buff on total damage, didn’t even think about it.

So, in case any of you are wondering how this build performs in Crucible, I went upto 160 without much problem even though I had to use 3x Fully leveled StormCaller Beacons since Blessings didn’t do much good as pets kept dying and I needed the Beacons to clear trash mobs.

But then 161 came and I couldn’t kill the Healers. They in turn kept healing everything else to full, so I kept running around for about 15 mins without any progress. Due to the defensive nature of the build still being good, I was under no threat either.

Essentially it was a stalemate and I decided to simply give up and quit.

Not sure if it’s gonna be better but you can try the configuration I use - 3 buffs(without Ulzuin), 2 level 1 beacons and one level 2 bottom left.

As for healers, it’s problem for lots of builds, I had few times the same problem, I simply can’t kill them.

I first ran with 4 Buffs and Vanguard, followed by 3 Buffs + 4 lvl 1 Beacons. But the build doesn’t really have enough Pet support to keep the pets alive. And since they don’t retain their buffs if they die and get resummoned, I just decided to ditch them altogether and go for Beacons only.

But kind of knew this was going to happen due to the nature of the build. Even completing SR 75-76 was a surprise for me :smile:
I am still happy with what it managed to accomplish. Wanted to make a Pet Battlemage just for the meme status and in that respect it was a rather decent success :blush:

And yeah, healers were a headache. The fact that they can also roll with items that provide resistance to your damage type if you are unlucky, doesn’t help either :frowning:
