Hi Chthon!
Could you please add this another 2H Savagery build to compendium.

[Melee][1.0.6.1] © (g4) Oirunas, The Lord of the Watch - 2H Aether Savagery Ritualist, Gladiator Farmer (Veretragna)
Damage: Aether
Active Skills: Savagery, Wendigo Totem, Ravenous Earth, Mark of Torment, Aether Corruption
Passive Skills: Harbinger of Souls, Spectral Binding, Mogdrogen’s Pact, Stormcaller Aura
WPS Skills: Feral Hunger, Reaping Strike, Necrotic Edge, Upheaval

On Aether resistant nemeses it can beat Gladiator in up to 14 minutes, so I classify it as a “c” rank build instead of “c+”. Is that correct?
Thanks.

I haven’t completely updated the thread Post 123 onward builds have yet to be added. Anyway, this is more related to me quitting than the compendium.

Well some real life changes mean that not only would become inactive on the forums but also won’t be playing the game for quite a while. Even a return for Forgotten Gods expansion seems unlikely (unfortunately), by the time I get settled and get around to trying out the expac there’s good chance the forums would be a graveyard :stuck_out_tongue:

I honestly wanted to stick around to explore the newly added tiers past the “Ascendant” status :rolleyes:.
It’s been a great few years around these forums many interesting peeps such as powbam, Ceno, Dikkiedik Superfluff, JoV, jiaco, Dioarchet, Duck_King, eisprinzessin, Drizzto, Ptirodaktill, feelsgoodstoya, Evil_Baka, Thrasheur, Weyu, PrinceXavier, mad_lee, Sobertooth, okami, elfe, Ram, Warebare, Snazzblaster, Avcytes, TomoDak, x1x1x1x2, Autentist, Nandi, Tz Tz, Strannik, korsar, Cepheus, Pyroscar, actuanpanda, sir spanksalot, Safarel, reapersgaze, thepowerofmediocrity, KoalaeiO, Jagermeister, Lokarr, Norzan, Stupid Dragon, Scene, Sfbistmg, Mauricius, mamba, medea fleecestaler etc. (fuckin’ hell there are too many names to fit in this post so some of you guys had to be skipped sorry :p) and of course everyone’s favorite Mr. Zantai.

I knew something like this would eventually happen which is why I was posting builds so actively for a while and was dodging things like becoming a praetorian. I took on the compendium mainly because no one else appeared to be interested and also because I thought I’d be around for at least a year more. Guess I was wrong.

Thanks to the developers for making this awesome game. The game has come a long way and so have the players playing it. Things have gone from “I don’t want the devs to nerf this” to “this thing is too broken, please nerf it”. It’s been great to be a part of this journey. Good luck to you guys with the Forgotten Gods’s sales and for the last time give us Mythical Warhammer of Heavenly Judgement already. :rolleyes:

Tears of joy/sadness aside I’ll be around a few days after this dramatic post since I still need to attend to the matter of my succession. Regarding which I need to say that the job is open to any one who is confident that they can stick around the forums for a decent amount of time. It’s not as taxing as it appears to be, there are some neat tricks to turn this into a very easy job especially in the events of mass updates.
On the topic of my guides I still have like 20 build concepts that need updating. I am not sure I will have the time to update all of them but I’ll make sure I update the most important ones.

Since I’ll be around a few days you guys can expect the compendium to be updated by tomorrow or maybe the day after. People interested in taking over the compendium pm me.

EDIT:

By real life changes I don’t mean anything too negative. It just means new job, moving towns, new surroundings. Judging from what I’ve seen I won’t have too much time for myself for quite a while.

Is everything ok with you? Sorry for (probably) indelicate question

Edit: gasp, don’t scare people here like that :smiley: Now I’m calm and hoping you’ll return eventually.
