Incredibly difficult to play (entire skill bar is filled)
Results in naked crucible:
Nope. Nopenopenope.
It’s a terrible set. Here’s why:
Rotgheist cannot seem to decide if it wants to be a DEE spammer, or a DEE nuke
a. Not enough energy, casting speed, or damage for DEE spam
b. Not enough damage for DEE nuke (even with pre 1.1.4.2 rotghesit with 20% damage mod)
terrible OA/DA stats
Nukes from DEE + Vire’s might does not do sufficient damage
Not possible to hardcap Vire’s might with items of relevant damage type
Suggestions:
Either make DEE spammable, or make it a hard hitting nuke
Increase OA, DA stats (you need permanent ascension to make the build have healthy OA, forcing you to go into aeon’s)
More support for vire’s might
EDIT: Forgot to mention that %WD is worthless for vit decay on DEE nuke, since %WD on vire’s might is higher.
Rothgeist have multiple possible builds, don’t know if any of them work. I tried vitality PS Conjurer with Wildblood Crusher. It have like 220k sheet DPS and insane life steal, but it was so so squishy. DEE isn’t strong option either. So yeah needs improvement!
My attempts to make Rotgheist work ended on theorycrafting vital PS conjurer. 160% AS, 0 stun res, about 2700 oa/da.
Terrible stuff.
For melee it’s extremely squishy and for some reasons, melee vitality doesn’t work well.
Suggestions - increase phys res for at least 15%, increase oa/da, DO STH WITH MELEE VITALITY.
OA/DA is PITA, mine have 2.9k OA and 2.8k DA but with good rolls. I tried in Crucible 2 times, both died at 154 Kuba. Health is like a bungee jump, up and down.
I would not call it outlandish. If you look at his build, you’ll see that it is just the standard acid devos and minimal focus on retaliaton. It does have OK, which would help any build, though.
However, it is the only viable Rotghiest that I have seen for the current iteration.
Edit: Although, your concept is a good try for a vitality version; and it is good to have more possibilities.
I know Rotgheist is kinda meh, but that GT is interesting. Certainly not the way I’d build it. There are definitely more than one way to try it out as a sentinel.
Edit: Also, is it Rotgheist or DEE itself that is the problem?
This is smth wonky i theorycrafted myself not long ago, just kind of a challenge with supposedly shitty weapon and shitty set. Haven’t got around to try it yet. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/mN43MYBZ
Can confirm, was able to kill ravager and callagadra with bramblevine on patch 1.1.1 and the build hasn’t changed since then.
Agree. Imo now that we have two DEE sets it should be easier to make one viable for spam DEE and one for nuke DEE. Dreeg set should be the spam one and Rotgheist the nuke one imo. They kinda have these identities already, but they certainly need to be further pushed into that direction, right now they are both just ehh.
To bring up another item related to DEE, Quillthrower of Dreeg. This item needs a buff aswell, either make it the ranged version of Amarastan Crusher (ranged spam ABB) or at least give it less CD for ABB/DEE or a %dmg modifier (increase) for ABB/DEE.
That would mean not shitty weapon, i have to decline
Gloves reduce enemy dmg. Not sure if it’s that needed but it’s a significant amount and other stats are good. Attack speed is low, yeah, that’s the inherent weakness of the weapon, what you gonna do… i’ve build up as much of it as i could.
But vitality EoR is not "OK’’. It’s one of the bad possibilities despite the RR in Oathkeeper mastery. No support form elsewhere and on top of that the speed. Death’s reach is 2h-slow weapons and no attack speed on it. With devotion map focused on speed, what’s the max 160-165 or so? 2h EoR on top of that is inferior to DW.
Managed 150-170 in 9.40 with this (potato laptop and pilot): https://www.grimtools.com/calc/wV1mM8MV
Weirdest thing is some mob waves can give more trouble than 163, 169-170. RRs aren’t auras and a lot of mobs have too much vit res to kill them fast without RRs.
Follow up question, why tf do i have physical and lightning in my tooltip for Primal Strike if the set converts 100% physical and lightning to vitality?
EDIT: It seems that Torrent is not converted (conversion only comes from set pieces) which is partly why mobs died longer than they should’ve. Is that intenved? It hinders AoE of Primal Strike a lot.
Looks pretty bad as well because the whole color of the skill changes to vitality but the Torrent stays lightning.
