Yeah, so basically, kiting around Callagadra seems more safe than facetanking her.
The best kiting character is probably pet build, right? But pets die to Callagadra…
Guardians of Empyrion and Wind Devils not only scale with player bonuses and decrease resistances, but also they are immortal! So logically, Archon for those pets can kill Callagadra without problems… right? The concerning things are DPS and equipment. Are there any items that can make it so we have a big damage and survivability, still increasing GoE and WD skill? So, for example, items that will give GoE fire and phys to lightning conversion, increase Maelstorm, Raging Tempest, Celestial Presence, the skills themselves, and also those items will give us needed OA, DA etc.
Seems possible. Is it? Can’t wait to see if it does work.
Normal pets can do Calla fine too.
i think it’s easier to make Wind devils fire oriented than it is to make guardians lightning
alternatively you could make both guardians and devils cold or acid or vitality oriented but both present some issues tho
main issue you have is that Calla is gonna target you/player, and totally ignore your pets
other issue is, even with a peak maxed pet boosted setup you’re still looking at mechanical issues in how the pets function, and “lower” dmg than you’d otherwise might achieve as a player dmg or true pet build
wind devil’s dmg don’t stack, only dmg they have that stacks is Maelstrom - all wind devil bonus dmg modifiers is not added to maelstrom so they don’t stack/you get a total of value of 1/“what’s listed on the tin can”
Empys direct dmg is regular, but their aura dmg doesn’t stack, however their attacks are also normal, which means they can miss and whiff, which can be an issue on Calla or just trying to run around/kiting
the other issue is itemization, getting items that boost the snot out of guardian is both specific and will/can block ex devil items, or vice versa, which then can also play into the conversion potential
if you are tolerant and patient enough tho, you can sorta ignore that, and just make you/player immortal enough to survive and then accept whatever time it takes for your devils/guardians to trickle down Calla’s hp
it can be done, whether it’s more fun or attractive/“better” than the real pets version, you’d have to see what you feel i guess
what both pets does potentially well tho is dot stacking via devos, so that’s something
