Ravager made easy (tactics & vids)

Because no one gave feedback on it. Aside from Ravager with stairs/ buildings etc., this specific hit box hasn’t come up before…afaik anyway. I haven’t seen it otherwise. If people knew about this and didn’t make an official feedback thread then Crate won’t know of it.

Personally, I only realized it with Callagadra because her spells are flashier. Also spent more time with her than Ravager.

I only gave this feedback when we first spoke about it. I also think some people preferred to consider it a mechanic and play like this, which further aided in the delayed fix

Yes, Finally someone else who likes to bully Ravager as much as I do :smiley:

These builds can only do one thing and one thing only and that’s one celestial either ravager or callagadra. They suck for everything else. I’d be impressed if a build can kill ravager/Callagadra and kill every other normal boss/nemesis. Not just a specific setup for one celestial. Because after you kill them and get their legendary item. The point of killing them EVER again is out the window. The only exclusion is Lokarr as he has two nemesis chests. So I usually just stick to farming him and all the other nemesis bosses. The hardest boss in this game is crate. But once you get his legendaries, bye bye. No more fighting him. And there’s no purpose in fighting him anymore after that.

Answer: Pets

Pets

or Shield builds can do it all : Crucible, SR, Celestials…

Update my Infiltrator

DW Cold - DeathMark Infiltrator - Ravager 2m9 : https://www.grimtools.com/calc/r2Bzjgj2

DW Fire, DW Cold, DW Acid, DW Pierce, DW Vitality , DW Chaos, and now …DW Aether joins the Ravager Family

My first DW Aether build on Ravager . Not much support from items , a weapon with 50% piercing converted to aether would be nice !

https://www.grimtools.com/calc/bVAzoDRZ

CDR , Circuit Breaker will make our Ravager Phase 2 like a breeze

Maybe , CDR will be a key to deal with Callagadra Phase 2 (w/o using ointments, tinctures, oils …)

Beside SpellBreaker, Acid Dervish with 12% CDR from Venom set , > 10% CDR from Path of the Three , and modifier CDR to Blade Barrier => ideal candidate , perhaps ?

DOT damage is not friendly for single-target , I’ve tried BloodRager set on Ravager several times, it took ages to move his HP bar, nearly impossible to ADCTH, but DW Bleeding is a sweet challenge, so i decided to give it another shot ! Finally, DW Bleeding joins the DW - Ravager family (Fire, Cold, Acid, Pierce, Vitality, Chaos, Aether).

8m55 (facetank & no greens, no tinctures, no oils, no ointments)

https://www.grimtools.com/calc/nZo4j0lN

My first build ignores Ghoul devotion so I must use Blade Barrier frequently, rare build DA > 3200 against Ravager, I must use Health Restored from Wendigo Totem (plus more 2% Health Modifier from Crimson Spike ) & Salvation relic to compensate Ultra-low ADCTH

Kiting casters can do it too without changing anything. I’ve done it with BWC and TSS druid builds. Seems like its mostly melee builds who get the shaft when it comes to superbosses.

You never get best killtime if you can’t facetank her, specially who wants <10min or even <7m. And even harder for who dont use rare greens, oils, ointments, tinctures

At last, DW Lightning

https://www.grimtools.com/calc/aZqlo06V

Full DW - Ravager Collection

Condition : facetank, no greens, no oils, no tinctures, no ointments, no aether clusters. In short : naked Ravager

For DW enthusiasts, for DW love …

Just another DeathMark cousin from NightBlade school : Reaper :slight_smile: Use same concept as Belgo BM : 2 universal buffs (LA + SH) + 200% AS + Huge ADCTH => Voila !

Try something new …

Is revamped Iskandra set viable against Ravager? The answer is in below vid

Just another DeathMark cousin from NightBlade school : DM Witch Hunter, this time, friendly for both Crucible & Ravager .

https://www.grimtools.com/calc/YZew31v2

My PC is not fast enough to run Crucible smoothly, so only post naked Ravager vid . If you have fast enough PC, feel free to test it on Crucible, I also wanna know how this build works on Crucible

Final DeathMark cousin from NightBlade family: DM SpellBreaker, like DM Witch Hunter, this setup is friendly for both Crucible & naked Ravager.

Compared to Witch Hunter: a bit lower DA , but we have Arcane Will, Star Pact and 2x Circuit Breaker to save us from that weakness

https://www.grimtools.com/calc/M2glrD7V

A bit suprise with a result, faster than DM Infiltrator, DM Witch Hunter, DM Trickster, DM Saboteur with double RR , perhaps I underestimate CDR + Crit mechanics…

Revamped DM Infiltrator - Crucible & Naked Ravager Viable

My old DM Infiltrator build

It is dedicated setup only for Ravager, so I made some tweaks, and now it can deal both Crucible & Naked Ravager : better resistances, better damage , 2m9 to 1m52

https://www.grimtools.com/calc/1NX4OQ9N

It’s not easy to keep high resistance to deal Crucible and high armor & DA enough for Ravager and high damage enough to better killtime, full concentration required for Phase 2…

If you feel too hard for you, just pick Belgo relic , more comfortable but killtime will be affected

1.1.3.0 - Ravager is fixed !!!

Ravager is fixed in 1.1.3.0 (bug from AoM) , then he casts AOE skills all the time , that’s sweet challenge !

And now, much much lesser builds can beat him especially w/o using ointments, tinctures, oils

But still doable …it took me a long enough time , the killtime from under 2m to > 4m

@Superfluff : it seems old Celestial needs upgrade to adapt new age

Why Witch Hunter ? Deathmarked set has very good resistances (5 pieces have all res) , then we have Occultist with best Acid | Physical | Chaos | Vitality res => combine them and easier for us to have a build can deal with both Crucible & naked Ravager

95% setup unchanged , the key changes : max Shadow Dance and Citadel relic
