I tried the HoG acid Deceiver, and it works well for my standards
It would need tweaking a bit to make it viable in SR or crucible, but I facetanked Theodin Marcel and never felt in any kind of danger. Despite low armor and health, it’s surprisingly tanky for some reason.
And it gets rid of trash mob as easily as any build I have ever played. The constant near-screen-wide confusion/damage reduction/damage every second that triggers abomination more than half the time gets rid of anything without a star next to its name in just one shot.
For someone looking for an Occultist build that’s unconventional and that can clear pretty much everything campaign has to throw at it, I think this is good enough.
Yes, that is what I mean. I have also played off-grid-builds which seemed invincible, without me understanding why, and vice versa, super Defensive Builds, in which I put a lot of effort and thinking, that just sucked and died all the time.
Never tried Horn of Gandar though…
Looking forward to what’s coming next.
Do you use GDstash or something to have those builds tested quickly?
Here’s a missing build - Acid Panetti, the only one I haven’t seen and looks totally doable as far as skill points to the skill and conversion are concerned.
It’s actually really fun & more powerful than most would expect. But as many have said & I agree it’s a bit odd seeing the original color and assuming that it’s doing it’s original damage~
IF ONLY the fire damage on the Gulgazor heart was actually elemental…
This is how my Acid PRM looks like. Is yours different?
Oh wait, it’s Panetti-Dreeg Replicating Evil Eye that they invented together.
Not sure what skill are you referring to but for Acid PRM I’d use Putrid Necklace. Seems tailor-made for this and Acid Arcanist in general. And The Paragon of Panetti for skill points. That’s about how far I thought this out.
I think he meant the fire to acid on Gulgazor, if it was ELEMENTAL to acid instead
Between Putrid Necklace, Vilgazor’s heart and Gulgazore’s heart, there are a LOT of different possible builds I love this set of items, they really are archetype definers by themselves
Theorycrafting it right now, question: does multiple sources of damage absorbtion stack (Possession and Maiven’s )
I tried Serenity + Tome of Arcane Wastes for +2 All but I’m not sure if it would be necessarily better because you seem to have a lot of skill points to begin with.
However I noticed that you have Aether to X on one of the rings and on Seal of the Might which ruins your Aether to Acid conversion a bit from Putrid Necklace.
I have another proposition. Although I prefer Bat to Eyes of Guardian in general
(doesn’t require melee range, far more ACDTH, bigger change to proc, using it on DEE for example)
here you got no Pierce / Vit to Acid conversion and cannot really benefit from Bat too much
(you’ve got no Weapon damage, even Physical damage on the scepter, and Bat only takes 30% from it)
Good idea as it procs on your targets
Maybe use this spare point for Sailor you wanted: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/p25OBmKZ
(actually just notice you lack healing in this build, might be kinda sketchy)
Wow~ I need to include epic sets more often in my set searches! That one totally flew under my radar and both me chosen helm and shoulders can easily be replaced for those! although I REALLY do HATE loosing RR but there are cases where it’s justified. A am happy with how many points I have in the line currently 25/16 - 21/12 - 20/12 - 17/12
But the insane amount of points that a set that simple contains for the skill I’m using seems like a no brainer!
