[1.2.1.2]
These are the very Best in Game builds AFAIK.
Legit in game drops. No editors used. Legit vs Editor Build Guide Video
Best in Game refers to the build, not the quality of gear.
MI’s are critical, but legit affix rolls may be far from perfect. You have much room to customize and improve the builds.
I cannot even click these links in my browser because of this weird formatting you used [https://www.grimtools.com/calc/8NK6XXOZ](steam://openurl_external/https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.grimtools.com%2Fcalc%2F8NK6XXOZ)
Please change it
It can own a SR90 fast as my best pet build due to its insane damage. There is just no way I can find to consistently tank a 90 boss without help. It so powerful that I had to create a new rating just for it: SR90 Very Hard. If it could reliably tank, it would likely have 9 min. left on the clock.
With my system, die 1 of 100 runs and fail the SR90 category. This one needed an exception.
Sentinel Chaos SR90 Very Hard
Know that the affixes are poor as I did not do a lot of farming for this build.
I tested the top 10 Sentinel for comparison… Nope.
I clicked on some of your links and your pet builds seem to be loaded with double rares. And not just pet builds. That must’ve been hundreds upon hundreds hours of farming, right?
I’m regards to farming those items (not any of the builds performance):
I been blasting Gollus rings for the last 25 hours of game play, and only those rings. Takes 2-3 mins with the build I am playing (sometimes less, sometimes more if Kuba spawns) and I have loaded 2 double rares nether or which are the mods I am looking for. In fact, I didn’t even load the suffix I wanted at all and loaded the prefix I wanted once. That’s over 750 rings and that’s small in reality. I can only imagine what 5 double rares (of specific affixes) would take.
Loading all those items alone is nearly, statistically impossible without trading or playing with others (most likely reason). I’ll take the “legit” at face value. I wish the people I use to play with still played.
Edit: the expansion can’t come fast enough to alleviate some of the difficulties.
It looks like Wraithbound is the only rare pet prefix that the Bloodsworn Signet can roll, and for sufffixes we have of the Wild, of the Untamed, and of Caged Souls. If we’re OK with any combination of these, we have a 0.34% chance for a ring with two pet affixes. And Karroz drops 1.3 rings per kill. That gives us 156 expected kills to get such a ring. That’s a almost 4 hours of farming per ring, if it takes 1.5 minutes per kill.
Of course, the flip side of this is that people using GDStash to test builds can and do still aim for somewhat realistic-to-farm MIs (with varying degrees of success), using my spreadsheet.
2.5 hours might be a lot for some, or reasonable for others. I don’t presume to judge. But avoiding rare/rare MIs is no guarantee that your build is reasonable. A specific magic/rare affix combination can be significantly harder to farm than a rare/rare Bloodsworn Signet! The only way to know is to actually look at the numbers.
Looking at rings I prioritize + to skill then resistances. I only use 2 pet affixes if resistance can be found on other gear. Sometimes I use pet rings on non-pet based characters just for the resistance and 2K’ish health like the Sentinel I posted yesterday.
With how these rings inherently roll, the odds are super low. Worthy substitutes exist of course, which I am wearing but that specific ring would allow for other gear swaps. I will say though that having the capacity to gear hunt in a fashion that respects my time (as compared to PoE/LE) has been great and the amount of stuff I have found outside of that ring has been an absolute blast even after 30 hrs of running the same section of the map over and over.
