The Fluffy Squishy - Pet Conjurer :3

[Maya]

So… to those who haven’t seen my Pet Occultist yet, it seems that it can still do SR 75. Meaning, since my Birb Conjurer is basically a much more powerful version of that, you should have no problems.

Oh, I forgot to mention this. Primal Spirit centric builds don’t seem to be very good in crucible, simply because of how crucible buffs work – the pets don’t get them anymore after they die (patch notes say they get them but at reduced effectiveness, but I honestly don’t see it, and the swirly graphic doesn’t show up on them anymore either). Kinda frustrating honestly. A 200k HP primal spirit shouldn’t be going low all the time I don’t think, but because it lacks crucible buffs, it takes a very noticeable amount of damage. It also doesn’t hit any harder than it would in campaign from what I can tell.

I think they can still do crucible, but they’re probably not as effective as you’d expect.

Also, wtb slow res somewhere on the way to mogdrogen pls. Bottom half of the devotions lack any sort of CC resistance… so annoying :\

o_0, My P.Spirit never goes below 75% in the crucible.

I’m going this for my devotions. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/bVAl1LR2

From an efficiency perspective, which do you think is more valuable earlier? Healing Rain or Nature’s Guardians? Ultimately I’ll be getting both but which one has the most impact do you think?

Does it simply come down to, “If your stuff is dying get healing, if its not go Guardians.”…or is there simply a “better” choice first.

Cheers.

Nature’s Guardians > Healing Rain.

In fact, You can avoid Tree of Life entirely if you want to. I use it mostly for the Energy Regen.

Btw, took Oleron for the experimental Bleed Fluffy: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/RVvOaGGZ

I still feel like there isn’t enough AoE. And defense isn’t that good either, even with permanent 60% Phy Res.

Maybe I shouldn’t be using Crucible times to measure the build. But the other thing I can use is Cally. And I rather not go through that again, considering how tedious the fight was with my non Birb build.

Speaking of which, that is another thing. I might be getting disappointed because I have set my expectations too high.

Birbs have the sheer power, damage and speed. Physical version has the lazyness going for it, plus you get a mini Zoo. My Pet Cabalist does pre FG levels of Damage in the Crucible and has immortal Ghosts.

What does Bleed has going for it? Well, it is harder to play…
Unless ofcourse you like the theme.

So would you recommend taking assassins mark over healing rain?

Considering that we are converting all physical damage in the Birb build (which I assume is what you are talking about), no I would not recommend assassin’s mark in any situation, ever.

Ok, tried this out.

It is kind of slow to kill stuff and I had multiple near death experiences before dying to Aleksander’s meteor to the face at crucible 170.

I was already at the 12 min mark by that point. Now, I do suck as a pilot so that may be the reason.

Also there are too many skills for me to maintain properly.

It does however show potential with maybe a bit of tweaking and played by someone who doesn’t play like a drunk

Hey, Thanks for testing it!

Did you see a marked effect with Briarthorn aggro from the taunt? I’ve never tested this taunt in game, but I did wonder if it would allow the character to do more damage without pulling aggro, such as higher totem damage or attaching a damage-dealer proc to CoF.

I suspected that character squishiness might be an issue. DA is a bit low and the resistance juggling is hard to manage with those items.

Np

I did not notice the taunt ingame, no. But then again, given it was in crucible it could very well be that I just missed it.

And yes, if the player’s tankiness can be increased somehow, it should work pretty nicely.

[HokemPokem]

Speaking of player tankiness, for how much damage endgame stuff does, is taking Turtle Shell a total waste of time? It’s basically giving another 1/3 of your health.

Good question and good point.

Something like this should work.

[crashing]

I would appreciate the devotion setup. I’m making the build with the grimtool offline tool and that’s what I need to finish it.

i didn’t know, thank you for the tip

Everything has been updated for the latest patch.

Birds of Bysmiel build has been updated to include Turtle devotion as per HokemPokem’s suggestion.

Aye that looks good.

One thing though. Do we really need the Solemn Watcher?

Wouldn’t it also be an option to take Hound and Crane instead of taking Solemn Watcher? You still get all the requirements but get more pet bonuses.

Solemn Watcher provides Pierce resistance (so that we have 80%) + DA. Not worth giving it up for the bonuses from Crane+Hound.

[HokemPokem]

Yeah that makes sense.

So, Callagadra now takes 20 mins with Double Familiar Version. The Birds die a lot. But you are pretty much immortal

In light of that, Birbs go back to no.1 position once more.

So will the enemy mobs

You still proc Elemental Storm with Wind Devils?

Oh and is it possible to remove Callagadras buff with Cleansing Water? It gives her a billion hp regen and speed. (S)He has 18.000healing with it compared to 150 without it and 50% less total speed

Aye, since Wind Devils are immortal, I find them best to use against tougher content. Second choice is Skeletal Servant.

Haven’t tried using Cleansing Water on Cally. Let me know if it works.
