Not sure if worth reviving this topic but I would like to share this build idea https://www.grimtools.com/calc/RZRwmOKN
physical jacks+doom bolt pyromancer. Both skills hardcapped. Few buttons to push. Seems good enough to me. It has Bear devotion to help the Innate physical damage of the skill go through armor. The converted part already ignores armor so…
What do you guys think?
btw best prefix for shoulders would be Consecrated for vitality and slow res. It would allow to use a few DA augments too.
It is fun meme concept, but 1) how are you gonna heal? Bat + Gladiator belt should help with that. 2) I think you sacrifice too much +2db skill just to get it maxed but is lowering +% physical damage.
And with gladiator belt, you dont need that off-hand but can use the one that has -%phys RR proc maybe.
Other than that, I think worth doing meme builders unite!
Bear has adcth, off hand proc is similar to Ghoul, we also heal a bit through Blind Fury and Azrakaa weapon damage + 500 passive health regeneration…the healing is there haha.
If I change to gladiator belt I lose 1 projectile of jacks, I would not like to change it. I’m more willing to change the chest piece, Dawnshard Hauberk seems a good alternative with +3 to temper to further increase physical damage and the proc brings damage (since it is fully converted) and survavility to the table too.
https://www.grimtools.com/calc/p25ml0y2 is what I theorycrafted for Physical Stun Jacks a few months back. Don’t worry about the +5 BoM, Stun Jacks is overcapped by 2 points so someone trying to put the build together realistically could settle with a +3 Badge and pull 2 points from elsewhere to keep it at 26/16.
It isn’t playtested and infact could do with more finetuning I’d say. I have no idea how Stun Jacks is going to carry damage without skill modifiers but the build looks fairly tanky otherwise.
I’d only recommend trying it or Phys Stun Jacks as a whole if you’re prepared for average-at-best performance and unable to run up to Crucible 150 or low-end SR at the worst.
That’s how I treat the #build-discussion section of the discord half of the time . There’s a lot of weird-ass crap that I don’t test or expect to work in there that I get a sudden interest in building in GT. Some of the ones that actually end up looking good get levelled + played and fewer get build threads posted here.
you have to change the gloves to Light Defender Gauntlets.
I think my build is a bit more offensive since we have 2 extra projectiles in stun jacks and also Doom Bolt (which kinda compensates the damage negated by armor to stun jacks).
Also the gear is easier to find. The head piece for instance is craftable and is the lvl 75 version, lol. The amulet is from Death Vigil faction…
I actually got those shoulders in one of my toons. I actually see “of squalls” very often tbh. Anyways, if you don’t feel like hunting for affixes, just replace the medal for this one sold by the Coven https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/7551 and it becomes easier to gear but you lose damage bonuses.
Loghorrean of squalls is the BiS though.
Don’t underestimate the value of +% Physical damage like ulvar mentioned above on gear choices. For example, my build with Ascension up has +2833% Physical damage between gear/passives/cunning bonus whereas yours is +1982.5%. About a 40% total damage increase from yours to mine that helps make up the difference in projectiles.
There is also the massive crit damage bonus that Oathkeeper brings with Divine Mandate.
Oh man, lots of great ideas going on here suddenly! Thanks a lot to all of you for reviving this discussion id thought to be dead! Ill have to circle back and reconfigure my Gambit stun jacks build to try this stuff out!
