Build Compendium X (Forgotten Gods)

Problem is this is kind of hard to verify and it’ll just have to take people’s word for it then. I don’t want to argue over each case, and if there’s anything I learned when trying to improve the g-tag system it would be that people would try to bargain out a more favourable rating for them - one they feel their build “deserves”.

My stance on that is if one posts a build with double rare MI’s he should bite the bullet and ackowledge that yes, he posted a build with unobtainable greens, instead of whiffing his way out with “but my build can work with legendaries instead of MI’s” loophole.

For a build with MI’s it’s impossible because it’s outside of my ability to rate these builds based on how hard it is to farm certain MI’s (one that requires a 30 sec run and one that requires a search for particular enemy that spawns in a two dozen of random points is pretty unequal, right?), how rare the certain affixes are, and based on your solution - whether the build actually needs these affixes or could do with more budget ones or even a legendary. It would be a 100% subjective thing without any moderation.

Please add my build. Thank you for your work!

I forgot to submit my recent builds. So we’re still doing g tags now? Wonder if you’ll allow me to put in g99 tag on the all greens build just as a meme.

At this point it’s whatever, g-tags will be removed, just a matter of time. I’d like to provide a somewhat adequate replacement first - a guide that should help determining gear dependability. It’ll be in about two weeks if I don’t burn out midway.

I have an idea. Put MI tag instead of G tags. No MI if your build is only legendary. If you have MIs, put MI and number of greens you have. Like MI 1 or 3 or 12…

Current plan is to replace (g4) and (g5) with (mi)

Does it really matter how many MI’s builds have, considering that MI’s also differ in affix quality and farmability?

It might. Some MI’s are much easier to find (i.e. stoneplates vs say a double rolled kuba).

EDIT: Here are some submissions, when you have the time for them - Tyvm!

  • [Caster] [1.1.4.2] (g4) (C+) (vid) (L) Storm boss of Elgoloth - Allagast vindicator (sir_spanksalot)

    • Damage: Lightning, electrocute
    • Active Skills: Stormbox, Inqui seal, Word of renewal, Storm totem, Wind devil, aether corruption, Ultos’ arrival
    • Passive Skills: Mogdrogen’s pact, Aura of censure
  • [Caster] [1.1.4.2] (g4) (C+) (vid) Ulzuin’s barrelsmith - skyfire grenadier reborn (sir_spanksalot)

    • Damage: Lightning, electrocute
    • Active Skills: Grenado, Canister bomb, Thermite mines, Blazing eruption, Flash bang, Word of renewal, storm box, aether corruption, Ultos’ arrival
    • Passive Skills: Vindictive flame, ulzuin’s chosen, flametouched, blast shield, Aura of censure
    • WPS Skills: Crossfire, Salvo, Duelist

2nd EDIT: My suggestion for tags…

  • MI = any MI, no specific affixes needed
  • ^MI = any MI with a specific prefix needed
  • MI^ = any MI with a specific suffix needed
  • ^MI^ = any MI with both a specific prefix + suffix needed

But differentiating between all of those would be totally impossible via a tag system (unless you want to add, like, 50 new tags for farmability/crafting cost/affix roll chance/etc.)…

I’d +1 your ^mi^-tag system to differentiate between the no. of required affixes, though.

Maybe the circumflex could be a minus (-mi-) or a plus instead (+mi+)? But that’s just a matter of taste, really :stuck_out_tongue:

Sure, makes sense to me.

IMO, doesn’t matter how many MI’s are in a build. What matters is how many rare, and necessary affixes are attached to them.

Ergo - I think the tag should indicate the number of rare affixes, not so much the # of M.I’s

New rules
Builds with out char screenshot can’t be post in compendium

Now you will make Sir something depressed a lot :rofl:

Yeah, that’s why I like your idea.
I was suggesting a weird (mi) / (mi+) system before because just differentiating between (mi) + (non-mi) seemed a little insufficient to me; but your one looks way better :slight_smile:

Hey, c’mon, taking a screenshot in-game & throwing it into a post takes, like, 30secs :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: and this new rule only goes for new additions, anyways. It’s not like he has to update all of his past build guides now

@omnitrio: man. I’ve got 0 screenshots on all my guides…does that mean I’d have to delete all of them?

P.S. In all honesty, I hope no one thinks I’m posting builds different from the ones in my GT :confused:

EDIT: @cinder - if that’s the case, then we can just go (P# | S#), where p = prefix, s = suffix

The rule was put into place because GT was down for more than a week a while ago, and people didn’t really have any way to see how a build looks in-game withouth a screenshot at that time :wink:

So we only have to add screenshots now in case that ever happens again, not because they think you forgot to reset your 9999 spirit back to normal or sth :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
