The whole Ghoul constellation is a good pick because of adcth, health percentage and regen let alone the proc which saves life.
The only problem I have with the build now is the abysmal energy regen sitting at 8 and that’s partly because of the rings I swapped to, the previous ones gave a bit of regen at least, but I guess beggars can’t be choosers. With such a low energy regen I have to use potions all the time to keep up with the high energy usage of the build…
The only thing remaining is the pants, maybe replace it with a MI with “of kings” suffix and “tempest” affix for the price of loosing OA, armor and health regen for getting a bit more damage, adcth and resistances. Maybe it’s not worth it…
Now that the build is somewhat final, I guess I can post it for others to use.
I never used the Ghoul constellation but i can now see how it will work now with a Firestrike build. The pants work well with the build. High Armour and High OA and Health Regen. It is a very good build now from a weak build initially. The only thing i would change personally is i would map Firestrike to Eldritch Fire and Storm Spread to Hand of Ultos.
I am going to test out your build in a few days After i finish my Nightblade Dunefiends Build, I am stuck between choosing Oathkeeper or Occultist for the build.
Build looks good, Sam! I really noticed a difference when I added the 2 Justicar pieces, very solid defensively now. I like that Kai ammy too, gonna have to try and farm him more to get a good drop. He’s such a PITA to find though, but I do have my own Kai search pattern, just not nearly as reliable as others like Moose, Alex and Fab.
i find a lot of help here that any other thread in this forum so thanks to y’all. definitely will try some of your theories and ideas as i build other characters.
It took more than a month to finalize the build but IMO it was worth it, especially when I see others get inspired by the whole process and learn something out of it.
Thank you CyanSam, you did the impossible and changed my mind about reading other peoples builds. Your build was the first one i ever analysed fully. I also built a Dagallons Firestrike Purifier but he was useless compared to your one. Excellent Work CyanSam. You have determination in spades.
Good news about the new patch: The build didn’t get nerfed and on the contrary got buffed because of the changes to the hydra constellation… 4% adcth was added to one of the nodes bringing the base total adcth to 17% and that’s a undeniable win in my books.
Yep, Hydra buff is very nice for the build. Also now trying to fit in buffed Spider + Throne but it’s gonna be tough to do. Quill and Candle aren’t necessary but I’m coming up a couple points short when I try and substitute them both. Will keep trying to see if it’s possible.
Question: can the three firestrike sub skills be used in melee weapons? or are they solely for range items?
Another question which is about farming, do you guys farm in campaign or just in SR and Crucible?
The devotion setup I’m using now was not like this before. It has changed over the time so I can’t tell you which constellation to take first to get to the final one but, you should know that in order to get some constellations you have to take some you don’t need then remove the point from them after you got what you need. for example in order to get the solemn watcher you have to get eel, sailor’s guide, revenant and blue crossroads, then remove all the points from eel once you have solemn watcher.
I the case of farming, if you need materials you can farm campaign and rogue-like dungeons but, if you’re at a point that you just need legendary items and blueprints then you can farm in crucible and SR (preferably SR for more loot in the long run).
It was a light show and I didn’t know what I was doing, which bosses were going to spawn and what to expect in general but, everything melted in front of me and I could easily facetank. It was fun
Hi , I’m a newbie and still farming lvl ,i have a plan for end build dw purifier but can’t test and don’t know how it work ,so i want everyone can give me suggestion.
This is my build : https://www.grimtools.com/calc/p25J6BBV
( i think bane relic is better ignaffar hmmmm … i don’t know ).
Thanks all and sorry because my bad english .
Thank you for your suggestion
i read guide of lacrimosa ( nightblade ) who ran SR to 107 and he said u need high armor if you want to run high SR . So i made build tankier and sacrifice offence as little as possible . if you have any ideal can improve damage, please give me
Update: using Fluff’s recent Dag build as a guide, which is centered around the FS chaos conversion to fire/lightning (brilliant), I switched around my devotion path to lead to Abomination, which is the big differentiator in the build.
I also managed to farm a pretty sweet Kai ammy, literally couldn’t believe it when it dropped.
The difference in dps with Abom proc fully leveled is significant, essentially you’re getting a nuke (edit: “steroid” prob better terminology) with 66% uptime, not factoring in any CDR in the build (am I right assuming cooldown starts at proc activation, not after it finishes?)
I’m able to farm SR60+ no problem now, and I’ll prob try and reach a bit higher just to get to a nice farming level without having to sweat too much, maybe 65/66. But I’m very happy that I’m able to grab the full SR set now so mission accomplished for sure. This is probably it as far as this build goes for me now, unless something happens to it in the next patch lol.
Def give Abom devo a try if you haven’t already, Sam. It’s the real deal.
