[Ranged Lightning] Crit Striker - Thunderous Strike Rifle Vindicator

oh yeah, but compared to prima strike almost alone doing whole job, i justprefer this,
hey man stop ! i say i prefer your set up, stop trying to make change my mind :rolleyes::rolleyes:

You are right

whispers Try Dagallon Savagery Pistols Vindicator

I think the voice beckons you Thrash :rolleyes:

On a side note for 2h rifle I’ll also recommend Evoker of Elgoloth based WPS build. I know time is little but the builds too many so b/w the two I can only recommend “pew pew” Dual Dagallon Vindicator :stuck_out_tongue:

How to roll a Sparkthrower ! Cuban style ! Happy hunting !

I don’t think you understand what a (170) crucible viable build means. It means you can clear 150-170 crucible with the 100 tributes max that you can obtain from your previous runs. In terms of buffs/banners that’s about 4 buffs (48) 1 maxed banner (24) and 25 tributes for skipping 1-150. In your run I count 4 buffs, 4 banners and you skip straight to 151 so that 169 tributes? Idk how many times you restarted 1-150 to get that or if you just cheated to get >100 tributes but that’s what a normal crucible run means. And you clear in about 15 mins? Octavius wb/tact can with only three buffs. Bleed wb can, aether spellbinder can, bwc commando/sorc can, dw spellbinder can do fucking 10 mins. Your build is not a representative of what a crucible build is, and will not be until you (or someone else) provide at least a screenshot of it completing a normal crucible run.

@Chthon:

If the discussion is derailed due to this, then sorry in advance.

I admittedly haven’t played the expansion content that much, but is that much phys/DA really necessary? I was kind of hoping to do a build where I didn’t have to stack physique, oh well. :\

This was my go at theorycrafting this build before I realized how good sparkthrowers were: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/w26AdBON Very little of this has been tried out in practice, of course, so… yeah.

Yes i added tribs with GDTH to make the video faster, srry i cheated, lol, and i will make a video of 0-170 if u want, or 100-170.

So my build is not crucible viable, cause i added tribs with program ?
And cause it CAN finish the crucible with 5min more, even with x5 spawn rate, and no bonus banners…yeah…srry…ill try better…and will move on.

Just finished crucible with no buffs and no banners…but didnt have enought space on the sdd so it stoped recording at 164, will upload that tomorrow.

Screenshots ? U have videos ffs…

stop man.seriously.
stay on topic, you have your own thread for your own build, full of your own post that bumps your thread twice a day at least, its enough no ? no ? you need to come on other build thread to do that ?
seriously man, just drop it.
really

Multiple accounts ay ?! :))))) keep at it…ur saying nothing related to nothing

Edited : So i should have answered him in antoher thread right ?

In the event you do not like Savagery Dagallon, try Static Strike Dagallon

You are not in the wrong so I don’t mind

Fluff’s Belgothian BM and my S&B BM don’t stack physique. Most builds have to stick with physique cause of the minimum DA requirements for main campaign end game

SoTH is fine if you’re not pursuing the crit route although I’d say picking Tempest would be safer as you’d be able to more points into Behemoth/Chariot for extra heal

Evoker of Elgoloth should be even worse than Raka’jax which is worse than the weapon I am using. It could work with Evoker but you should focus on farming Sparkthrowers. Good luck with the build and as usual feel free to ask if you get stuck

here are some videos for those who want to see how roughly the build performs when it comes to boss fights:

*procs activated [/spoiler]

I did not like using totem because additional button to press but of course people can use it to help a bit but in my case adtch is enough for sustain. The dying god’s devotion setup is well thought out too! :wink:

In short this build is really fun to play and quite stronk at that . I decided not to post trash clearing videos cuz for some reason my garbage laptop cant handle this stress :cry:

Will post Lokarr video and Iron Maiden later! my internet is really bad slow right now T_T

You don’t need to tbh
One video is enough imo

Thanks for this, added it to the main post

glad to know! :stuck_out_tongue:

Lokarr is doable and facetankable with MoD. If you plan to kite a bit then MoD is not needed. :wink:

thanks to you again!

This thread inspired me to setup (for now in theory) Thunderous Strike Rifle Druid. I used Vindicator BiS Setup (by PrinceXavier) as a start point. No changes in gear except some optimization in augments setup and few changes in devotions setup (core change is Dying God => SoTH): https://www.grimtools.com/calc/a2dwEGQN.

P.S: Chthon, cool intro picture for the build. We need one more lightning build to post Palpatine as well. :smiley:

yeah right. It’s about time we drop him that overrated bum who does nothing but try to kill us anyway . We dont want to entrust our future to something that will be dead anytime soon.:rolleyes:

SotH setup should be pretty darn cool as well:p

And to you for the videos :smiley:

“That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.”

Made some minor changes to skill allocation

Oh yeah, Palpatine. Hmm, I do have another Lightning build that can be posted but it’s still unpolished. Will keep it in mind

Yeah, looks nice - more damage absorption. I forgot that Storm Totem is a good trigger for the devotion proc.

Thanks. I like the playing with such builds - dealing a lot of damages and destroying almost everithing on your way with great visual effects. :smiley:

P.S: The greatest challenge for me for now is to find effective 2H ranged aether lighning Druid setup based on Primal Strike + Vortex of Souls usage.

Anyone know what gear used for Illusions ?
It looks Awesome, I like it !

The main gear models used for Illusions are:

  1. Weapon - Thunderclap
  2. Head - Soulless Gaze
    3 Chest Armor - Valaxteria’s Skytorn Robes
  3. Shoulders - Ascendant Pauldrons
  4. Gloves - Salvaged Gloves (not 100% sure)
  5. Pants - Stormcage Legguards
  6. Boots - Serpentine Wraps

you pretty much got it right I guess. I was wondering myself does anyone know what’s the best illusion setup to get max dps? :undecided:

edit- finally just gotta drop one more video here.

now we deal more damage since we have finally placed an illusion to our weapon- Thunderclap :rolleyes: ( forgot to put one during MQ fight)

same setup as above but using MoD this time. :eek:

also why does Lokarr keep sidestepping ( inserts Krieg voice: "Stand Still so I can Crush you! ".

Thanks for the feedback. I’m obviously still tuning the details quite a bit but I’ve always loved ranged PS and I’m glad it’s actually viable now.

Thank goodness reset potions are a thing now though because I imagine I’m going to be going through a lot of them.
