Reasonably powerful builds

I suggest you test the ones that you’re interested in by yourself, if you have the gear. Then post it here. It would help Zug a lot and he’s always looking for suggestions on what builds to test.

Let’s see what the big changes for crucible are in 1.0.5.0:

  • Reduced monster Offensive Ability scaling at all waves and difficulties.
  • Reduced monster Health/Damage scaling at waves 151+ on all difficulties.
  • Multiple Kubacabra’s can no longer spawn in the same wave.
  • Reduced intensity of Wraith debuffs.
  • % Health Reduction effects on auras have been disabled.
  • Reduced the % Offensive Ability granted by the Brutal Mutator.

These make crucible seem a lot easier to clear now, but we don’t know the numbers. If they cut off like 5% it won’t change anything actually. I’ll test it and will write my thoughts on this.
Everyone are welcome to try updated crucible and express their opinion here, will be much appreciated.

Also Mythical Dreeg Set’s 5-piece bonus is finally made properly. This will improve the Dreeg build a lot. It’s not like it wasn’t able to clear everything without it, but buffs are always satisfying.

Censure is pretty big. So any build with Censure that didn’t have reliable reduce monster dmg is pretty neato now

I know only one strong build with Censure - yours Gun’n’Shield purifier. And it uses Light of Empyrion for monster damage reduction which I assume won’t stack with Censure. Ofc you can now put these devotion points elsewhere, but this is still only one build. I have doubts that this particular change will make other builds with Censure viable. Would be happy if I’m wrong here.

Cataclysm Deceiver (not posted yet) by a fellow forum member can do it

I am testing something else with Censure as well, if I get it done before taking a break I’ll ping you with the results

Censure was never bad, its RR was good but the problem always remained Conviction gave both offense and defense. Now this change to Censure somewhat balances things

If you don’t mind, would you please test this Censure Build on New Cruci ?

I only test it on Vanilla
It can pass Grava, Kuba, MQ, Fabius on main campaign (tested it on 1.0.4.1)
Also tested it with Ancient Grove on 1.0.5.0

You can modify if needed for Cruci :slight_smile:
Perhaps change the rings with Judicator

Censure is realy good now. My burning purifier finaly feels like a decent build, not some toilet papper-canon.

Could you try my immortal mortar build? It’s pretty strong even before censure. Aftewards its even better!

Wanted to do Cataclysm even before the recent buffs but looks like someone beat me to it. Can’t wait to take a look at that. Should be very strong with both censure and cataclysm buffed.

Well empyr ain’t always there:p It’s procced by melee.

There is also the 2h rifle purifier Terminator that uses censure

@x1x1x1x2 - You will this today some time :slight_smile:

I usually don’t test builds that don’t have proof of clearing crucible. From my experience, if the author does not test his build in crucible it will end up being inconsistent there - in the best case and not viable in the worst case.
You build has mediocre DA, bad regen and is semi-channeling. I don’t know. I’ll try to find time for it, but I don’t promise you anything.

Purifier can be pretty tanky, you should have used a shield and Light of Empyrion like Superfluff did :slight_smile:

Tomorrow for me, man. It’s almost 11pm here and I got work at 8 tomorrow. I can always surf at work, though.

Have you tried it in crucible?
And you forgot to add the link, so I can’t even look at it.

Edit: Nvm, found it on the forums. Yeah, it looks promising, I’ll try it.

Well, I’m just curious with new OA reduction in Cruci
I just thinking that kind of DA maybe enough, since I saw chinese player did it with only 2.2K DA

And also it has nice health regen when standing on inquisitor seal and wendigo totem active
It can stay on Kuba Red Pools and Gargabol Fire while do the chanelling spells

Btw, thanks for reply Zhuugus :slight_smile:

Oh, id love to wear a shied with Adversary rifle. Unfortunately Crete forbid such heresy.

Changed in censure is really significant.
I use censure in my allagast magehunter built, now it can facetank almost anything in crucible (beside iron maiden + fabius) with inquisitor seal + censure + maiven sphere combo. Finish 150 with the buff still active.

Censure is now worth to be overcapped IMO.

So i couldn’t help but notice how few druids are on the list, so i am gonna submit my skyshard build. It’s fairly standard and definitely not the strongest build out there, but i think it can hold its own.

Its not the smoothest run ever, but here is a 24,5min 100-150 cruc with no buffs or banners.

And also the build

Ok, I’ll check it.

It’s what i’m building right now so I can’t test it yet.

I already tested very similar build. Check “lightning conjurer by scruize 0079” in the honorable mentions section.
