If I am looking for a lazy SR 75-76 farmer would you recommend this build or fluffy squishy? Which would be faster?

107

I’d say that fluffy is pretty much my best build atm, so gonna be hard to beat that

Hey maya this is probably a dumb question but i am new and wanted to know what you mean by:

Welcome to the forum. :slightly_smiling_face:

Put a point into the purple node in Crossroads constellation then complete the Shepherd’s Crook one. Shepherd’s Crook is now sustaining itself since it requires one purple to unlock it, but when completed it gives you five purple bonus points. So even removing the one in Crossroads means Shepherd’s can sustain itself because you will still have 5 purple points.

Many constellations can sustain themselves which allows you to move points around to get other constellations.

So… I have been ignoring the tanky boys for a while now…
Wanted to see how briars feel these days and… yeah they slap as hard as ever :blush:

No changes to the build itself since patches don’t seem to have done any nerfs.

Hey Maya just wanted to ask this.

It says this build can do SR 80 on version 1.2.1.6

Does that mean ‘old’ SR 80 (so in that case in the current SR it would be 32) or in the new SR it was able to reach SR 80?

Thanks again in advance.

I dont think anyone is reaching new SR 80 solo :yum:

Thanks for updating the build, Maya.

I prefer to substitute one of rings with Subjugator Bloodsworn Signet of the Wild: it allows me to hardcap all Briarthorn line and have some free points.

Also i like Primal Spirit so shift the points there as well.

Strong build and it’s not very flashy (change of heart after Lightning builds :slight_smile: )

Wanted to check out if the extra hellhound from beastcaller changed much.

Sadly, callagadra kill times seem to be more or less the same. I assume all the other changes balanced it out? :thinking:

Hey Maya, over a year and a half ago, I built this “Sanguine Lupus - Pet Conjurer.” And for some reason, I started farming items for “The Fluffy Squishy - Pet Conjurer :3” to switch to this elemental build.

However, currently, looking at how long each activity takes, the “Sanguine Lupus - Pet Conjurer” bleed build seems much stronger than Fluffy. I’ve already acquired most of the gear for “Fluffy,” but I can’t find the logic behind why I wanted to switch to a weaker build (weaker, in my opinion), namely Fluffy. From what I can gather, “Fluffy” is more tanky and doesn’t require much clicking to play. I do have some questions, though.

  • Which build will perform endgame activities faster? Fluffy elemental or Lupus Bleed Conjurer? - Which one is currently more tanky?
  • Overall (endgame activities, survivability, kill rate), which one is stronger considering the post-expansion changes?

Lupus has more damage on paper and will perform better in content where survivability is not an issue, like SR farming. Also, against Mogdrogen specifically due to the fact that Fluffy is lightning focused and Moggy has a ton of lightning resistance.

But with Ascendant mode, Fluffy is overall stronger due to the fact that it can survive easily against bosses where Lupus will struggle, like Callagadra.

Fluffy is still my overall strongest build.

Tried this in Ascendant Asterkarn, works very well. Beastcaller is strong this patch. Have not tried Celestials though.
The dude feels squishy at times, but nothing dodging cant save
