Yo.
So i’ve been experimenting with the Blightlord set, inspired by RektbyProtoss original build. While the vitality version is a really strong build the fire side is pretty lackluster. Needs to dual wield to convert RE damage which leads to low CDR on a very cooldown based build, a large portion of our resist reduction is tied up to a 6sec CD nuke.
I ended up going for Time Dilation devotion and even adding Belgothian’s Carnage relic (I actually think its bis) so the build atleast plays well imo but the results are not really there.
Final GT from my testing: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/pZrdWE12
Build dies easily and CR times are not great. For reference Blood Knight Oppressor manages similar times while being able to beat all celestials and high SR in the same setup.
Maybe my take on fire blightlord is just shit - any feedback is welcome
My first idea for a buff would be phys > fire conversion for guardians but I wanna hear your thoughts.
Edit: Noticed I was running 3 instead of 4 guardians in the video so maybe it can go a little bit faster. Still it’s a very glassy version which struggles to complete crucible
Your attempt is great and very hard to improve.
For survival maybe worth testing ACDTH route like this (Wendigo on Judgement)
Although you may not like losing https://www.grimtools.com/calc/4NOL0K42
Yea maybe Time Dilation has to go
I tried a more standard fire devotion path earlier but didn’t enjoy the playstyle without cdr. That was before belgo relic though which also freed up medal slot so maybe its fine. I’ll try it out!
I tested your devo path and it was indeed faster. Managed a 4:50 run with good mutators. My conclusion is Magi is too strong not to run, not sure about the yellow devos tho
Maybe fire Blightlord has potential after all. Thats what i enjoy about this game, my first drafts are always pretty bad and goes to OK after some tuning with potential for great after some refinement.
Gonna continue testing to see if greatness can be achieved!
Do you have Fire Shieldbreaker Blightlord optimized by any chance?
It does have a lot of skill points with full Blazeseer which may be comfy while building.
Maybe then we can grab some off-hand since we don’t need to convert Vitality that much?
Although it would be hard to beat Fire RE with skill modifiers for sure.
I dont, but I remember sir_spanksalot had an awesome mortar trap version
I’m getting nowhere with fire RE actually Squishy version have sub 5 potential but i fail more runs than i complete… More stable version i expect timers to be around 5.30-6.00
I don’t like the fire part of the blightlord set, as Word of Solael is gonna force shieldbreaker to vitality build, and using full blazeseer gonna block the use of Crimson Lotus as well.
