I am a relatively new player, having played only about 150 hrs, enjoying that amazing build by JoV with the 2h pierce ranged crossbowmaster.
However, I have also created another char, level 80 by now, a Commando. He was godlike in early leveling, but now he has become very sluggish and his kill times or gameplay feels a bit slow and not so efficient, at least to me.
I followed this guide, http://www.grimtools.com/calc/4VxWv525
It is made by a user named Huy Thai and I followed it from a youtube video of him, because seriously, there aren’t many fire damage commando builds posted in the forums!! The compendium has 0 new Commando builds after 1.0.7, the three latest that I can find is the one by Chthon, Superflyff and Ving, but none of them use BWC and fire damage which I considered a very good skill as a starter char.
To get to the point, I would be glad if someone could tell me what I could change, to have a much stronger-for-all-content char. I wouldn’t mind going melee or keeping bwc or changing to any other skill. Maybe BWC or fire damage commandos are not good at all?
Just need some suggestions regarding a very good Commando build. Sorry if I am so shallow with my judgement of commando builds above, but i did not have time until now to nitpick the game and be all-knowing regarding numbers and builds.
Keep in mind this build isn’t finished yet as I’m still missing some items (Like the WorldEater) but Shar’Zul’s Incinerator is doing just fine in the meantime. I’ve reached the end of Ultimate with him but I haven’t killed Log yet. I was busy grinding his faction rep before I decided to take a little break.
Yes Norzan I do not have all the gear listed there, as I am a new player as I said. However, I follow the general gist of the gear with fire/burn dmg etc and I am doing it as best as my loots allow me to do so until now.
Thanks for the above suggestions. Regardless of the gear that I have, I was just wondering if any meaningful changes can be done to this build for the better, or if there is a different but better approach to the Commando, that’s all.
I 'll compare the changes that this build has and see what is for the better.
I will also consider any suggestions mentioned here, as I wouldn’t mind changing playstyle to phys or pure melee for example, so thank you all again.
Drizzto setup is definitely better than the one you posted in the first post, mainly because it has Flame Torrent. Flame Torrent is one of the main damage dealers for this type of build.
Commando has a somewhat slower killing time compared to the same setup with Pyromancer and Sorcerer. The main difference is that is much more tanky.
In my opinion Arcanist is the best second mastery for this type of build, mainly because of transmuted Callidor Tempest being an huge source of Burn Damage while still having stuff like Mirror of Ereoctes and Maiven Sphere.
