Since I’m a somewhat new player (started playing in 2024), I just recently tried to come up with my own builds.
It’s a task both enjoyable and dauting.
My workflow is something like that:
-
I start with a concept, I try to frame it in just few words. Sometimes I try to replicate an ingame enemy, or mimic a character from other media. Sometimes I just randomly look at a piece of gear on my stash, and build around that.
-
Then, I look for classes and skills that support it.
Examples:
- Acid, Ranged, Spells : DEE Cabalist
- Fire, Ranged, Gun: Desolator purifier
- Fire, Dual Wield, Melee: Soulblade Dervish
- Something like Bolvar, the Bloodbinder
-
Then I pick gear
-
Then try some devotion routes
-
And last not least, I do Augments.
-
Then I level the character to 100, do a SR32 run (to test the build and get the last attribute/skill points)
-
Then I post here to get feedback from the community and improve the build.
This my usual cycle.
