Doesn’t matter what build you use when running Challenger+.
Wave 135 = death.
Four, count 'em, FOUR FUCKING SHADOW COPIES of Bruiser Romanov dogpile me nearly every single run, stun lock me, debuff me DURING the stunlock, then they and 873648763847634876 troll bosses decide to run a train on me.
I have Empyrion’s Guidance and Ulo celestial buffs on, so control effects shouldn’t last 98347598739483798 years while I get hammered to death.
Full max resists don’t matter. Build don’t matter.
I only make fun of your post because my feelings on crucible are similar. Maxed out blademaster S+B, overcapped resists to the max, 75k dps, doesn’t matter, I still die on gladiator.
The hardest waves are 137, 146, 147 (if boss spawns) and 149 (if Sharzul and Sentinel spawn).
You werent even close to real challenge the Crucible has to offer, sorry.
My Witchblae squashes all those random heroes like bugs, i barely mange to read their names…
Blademaster is good, but Witchblade is stronger, i think. Free resist and resist reduction.
And overcapping resists DO matter in crucible, believe me.
Just a tip to everyone - the last 50 waves in Gladiator difficulty are made for really tough builds, equipped with very good items and using most buffs and banners…
Just the fact the last wave spawns multiple nemesis bosses means a fair amount of builds can get destroyed playing solo, so I think your frustration is justified.
