GD World Records and best 2018 DPS builds?

I’m just wondering if there are specific lists of world records and the gear for clearing bosses and nems in GD like lucky crits and stuff.

I’m also wondering what the highest dps builds in the game are as of now. 2018 and up and if there are any guides for them?

Goal=would like to kill any boss including nems in under 10 seconds?

Zantai, pls, relogin.

there is a build compendium…

Under 5 seconds :smiley:

dear children hide your builds! Do not fall for this! Zantai be like doing the final round of nerf hammers to seal the upcoming patch! :rolleyes:

Not sure those are real answers.

If dps isn’t really a thing it would be nice to not get crit by Nem bosses then.

The only real answer to me is countering crit with DA.

Is their any good builds that promote high levels of DA easily?(ie without any MI or all purples?)
My goal is to be able to tank Ravager and kill him in some way without getting crit spammed.

I’m using a very nice Demolitionist/Occultist build atm and it seems to take things down super fast with ease. IE 10 sec AoM boss for his first form maybe even faster. I was wondering if I could get anymore help improving my build as far as crits, DA and pet OA/crits?
this is my build so far:

This is why im asking.

Drakkaris pyro? Cute. I assume you’ve been using thatas a referrence?

The DA thing is 100% individual for each given build. E.g. this build of mine had a quite easy time getting 3k DA, while some other builds struggle to hit 2600 if gear is lackluster. I think you could had managed to have a decent DA, you haven’t really optimized your build that much. You have shitloads of resistances overcapped to 50%+, which is a waste besides a few rare cases.

There are ways around having ‘inadequate’ DA. A spellbinder (if piloted with perfection) can theoretically bypass the whole DA/OA mechanic by chaining mirro and MoT.

You can even bypass with mirror only and 45% CDr+eternity

Plus the next patch will be addressing the importance of DA and how the %chance to be hit is worked out :wink:

I think that for builds below 3.5k DA they are irrelevant.

In terms of single target damage I am guessing pet builds rule. Other than I think Korba Trickster should be a dps king. Or maybe some kind of super well tuned ranged purifier rifler.

Although I think it was Valinov who posted some weird Chaos Chillspikes build that looks meh on paper but destroys some nemeses like Grava in seconds.

It also really depends on what areas are you clearing and if aoe matters or not. Like for example clearing Bastion of Chaos with a Fire build is always painful.

Yes that Drac build was the goal. My spec is more entirely based on a little more tankiness and more support for crucible for all allies. IE the chest active, and components.
