Build Compendium IX (Ashes of Malmouth)

[veretragna]

Great work! Still, I guess my build wasn’t considered powerful enough to be included in the compendium - or you just haven’t started to add new builds yet?

Technically every build can be posted here.
Personally I prefer builds that can complete Ultimate and kill at least one Nemesis. Best builds just have special tags such as “c”, “c+” and so on.
If you want your build added to the compendium, please fit it to format mentioned in guidelines at the beginning of this thread.

Example:

[ul]
[li][DW Melee] [1.0.6.1] (c+)(g3)(vid) Scorching Light - Double Ortus Fire Cadence Tactician, Gladiator farmer (9 minutes) (Veretragna)[/li][list]
[li]Damage: Fire[/li]
[li]Active Skills: Cadence, Blitz, Word of Pain, Storm Box of Elgoloth, Inquisitor Seal, Word of Renewal[/li]
[li]Passive Skills: Field Command, Aura of Censure, Burning Weapons, Deadly Aim, Fighting Spirit[/li]
[li]WPS Skills: none[/li]
[/ul][/list]

You can quote this message to see the code and use it in your submission.

Did you submit the sacred strike script-piloted spellbinder build in the Build Compendium VIII using the correct format?

Build is build - it does not depend on who does pilot it and how.

Personally I prefer builds that can complete Ultimate and kill at least one Nemesis. Best builds just have special tags such as “c”, “c+” and so on.

Too bad there is no special tag such as “can kill any celestial”

Yes, having code template does really help! The rest was in my topic already - here it is, formatted:

[Caster] [1.0.6.1] (c+)(g3)(vid) Spellbinder, Bane of Celestials and Gladiator farmer (8 minutes) (Witcher)

Done.
This build must have G4 gear tag since it has specific green item, fixed.
G3 builds must not contain specific greens, only epics, legendaries or faction items.

[Witcher]

Done.

Thanks!

But, didn’t you say in the header of this topic:

g3 : No MI, full legendary/set builds with craftable boots. Also includes +5 (skill) Badge of Mastery builds.
g4 : Builds one mandatory MI with fixed affixes, excluding crafted boots.

Sabatons are craftable boots - these are not MI! And they don’t have to have specific affixes - I guess any decent combo will do.

My bad. I mixed this compendium requirements with russian one.
Fixed

[Witcher]

Fixed

Cheers

Btw, “requirements with russian one”? Like these? Don’t see anything concerning green boots there either, though…

Nope, this.
Its mirror is present here, too.
Edit: yep, I maintain both russian and official compendium

Oh! Didn’t even know there is something outside of the forum, hehe.

Edit it, then as it still contains link to the official Compendium VIII.

Sure, the update is planned next Tuesday.
Edit: got it, the changes are needed in description. Will fix it

Did you submit the sacred strike script-piloted spellbinder build in the Build Compendium VIII using the correct format?

BTW, when Chthon was still in charge of the compendium (comp 7) we had a discussion (and IIRC he also consulted other forum members) on how to categorize macro builds when it comes to crucible viability (i.e. the c and c+ tags). This was during the time when ArchHeretic posted builds regularly. IIRC, the decision was to relegate macro builds to © tag even if it should be (c+) unless there’s enough evidence (and maybe testimonies from other users) that the build is viable without macro scripts.

I’m not really hitting this towards Witcher. I mean yes that’s a macro build but it’s a binder, which means it’s automatically strong and viable in cruci. Just saying this for reference for future builds, though the decision should be in veretragna’s hands since he’s the one in charge.

The build having 8 minutes clear time will not lose its effectiveness without macros.
But 12 minutes result is totally different thing, it deserves a downgrade in such case. Except author proves build’s viability without macros.
Looks like a best solution

I just add a bit of clarification: cruci variation of my build doesn’t require macro at all. First, there is no need to switch quickslot panels forth and back in 50ms (which is the primary reason why macro was used). Second and most important, arena just can’t really be played with 100% preset macro sequence: you have to move, trash mobs don’t require half of skills (they can be easily killed without defencive debuffs), craftable potions are just too valuable to waste them on arena non-stop, so I use them manually, when there is a REAL need (i.e. against nemesis).

Wow. What a bunch
Sure, will add them when I’m home.
