[Critique needed] Hybrid DW-Caster Poison Witchblade with Dreeg Set

Hi All. I am quite new in this game. just achieve 100 hours in the game and just going through the first act of elite campaign.

I also play crucible occasionally and really enjoy it. Thus, I want to try to design crucible top-worthy build.

http://www.grimtools.com/calc/O2Gl9eLV

The concept is:

  • Debuffing the enemy with CoF (+manticore devotion) and weapon attack
  • Main source of damage is DEE (+Tainted Eruption) that has been buffed from Deception of Dreeg set
  • Additional source of damage is Dreeg’s infinite gaze (from mark of dreeg component) and Dreeg’s afflicted spine (from relic).
  • Blitz for getting in and out of enemy crowd.
  • With dual-wielding, I think cadence will be good as it will trigger more often and if my information is right, it will only inflict weapon damage from “main-hand”.

My thoughts right now:

  • Dreeg’s infinite gaze looks underwhelming though, with it’s small radius.
  • Soldier mastery is chosen mainly for passive and tankiness. Nightblade might be better offensively, but it is so hard to cap the resistant and achieve balance.

Disclaimer:

  • I would like to admit that this build has not been tested at all. I was theorycrafting and would like to test the knowledge I gather so far from reading the forum and wiki.
  • The double rare MI will of course come from GDStash. :stuck_out_tongue:

Comment and critique will be greatly appreciated. :slight_smile:

Take Murmur for devotion, you won’t have enough RR as a witchblade without it.
I feel DEE Witchblade clear speed to be quite slow though, the mythical set’s DPS is barely higher than the old one, that said I haven’t been playing with it for some time so I may be wrong on this.

I took manticore constellation instead of murmur because it has more acid & poison damage and slightly more RR. Do you think I need to take them both for more RR?

You can never have too much RR

Lol, good point. I will try to replace some constellation for murmur

I’m having a blast playing this build right now. I’m in elite, and it seems to be a beast. May not be exactly what you’re looking for, but you might be able to take some pointers from the gear, devotions, or skills

Imo, DW DEE/Off hand DEE suits Witch Hunters much more

It’s a waste to pick Soldier and not use Shield skills that Soldier excels at

Drizzto’s build should help you
