Can someone tell which is the highest possible Nuke build in game?
Which build will have the highest numbers?
It need to be playable anyway, it can be squishy but need decent survivality too.
I’m allready thinking about Witch Hunter, boosting Acid/Poison DMG with all that is possible.
Maldakar’ed Trickster? Top pet builds are fastest killers (and probably top builds overall), don’t know about their “nuke capability”. It really depends on the settings, some builds are best in Mad Queen timers, some best for Crucible, some best for killing Grava in campaign or Lokkar in campaign or whatever.
Do you mean nuke as in a nuke caster skill or you just want the highest sheet damage dealt in page 3? If it’s the first then I recommend 2h vit bone harvest. If it’s the latter then double Malkadarr Korba is what you’re looking for.
Anyways I saw your other thread which is basically the same as this. I’d answer it here (making two threads with the same purpose isn’t really that great).
For 2h I think spanksalot’s 2h Vindicator got around 800k in cruci, though I think 2h desolator purifier can outdamage that one. I should test it later.
I mean the highest nunbers by burst asap.
Super fast clear, can be squishy.
Easier to gear?
Better.
Dual Wield are maybe one of the most bursting DPS builds I’ve seen and that one is no exception.
Well it’s either any of the top pet builds or Maldakar’ed Korba Trickster. Latter is hard to gear and less consistent. Top pet build just tear everything apart, burst, single target or aoe.
:/.
I mean the highest burst dmg, that will let you decimate lot of foes with 1 shot.
Pets deal lot of less powerfull hits.
Probably 2h melee build with super high % dmg based spell and lots of support for it?
I remember seeing some “Highest damage dealt” screenshot with a korba trickster dealing something like 1.5 mil, but if I recall correctly it was multiplayer, so on SP it is probably lower. I personally had 900k~ on SP with a SS aether reaper.
How this would work compared to Ice based Reaper or Cabalist Vitality based with Scythe?
Imho i don’t think Cold Reaper can reach those numbers. I could reach smth like 700k~ on a 2h cold reaper using soulrend but it feels slow. Vitality Cabalist with scythe can reach something like 1.2 mil on SP but I personally feel it isn’t that safe, and that damage is dealt via Vitality Decay rather than a burst damage like you are looking for. Imho you should try the korba trickster, maybe a variant using 2 korba pieces to convert all the lightning damage from savagery to cold and use 2 malkadarr swords to overcap execution and increase it’s damage by 70% iirc.
How about Witch Hunter Acid/Poison based?
Pets are faster than builds that can “decimate lot of foes with 1 shot” in everything. But if you want that one big hit damage, yeah, maldakared korba. Or maybe DW ss spellbreaker with sick chillstrifes. I have 1,6 mill highest damage on my Spellbreaker, I did it in 2 player game with crucible buffs with Soulrend SS build.
How about Witch Hunter Acid/Poison based?
I’ve heard ss WH can be pretty deadly 2h or DW, but I’ve never heard it’s being ridiculously bursty, not like Maldakar’ed Korba Trickster or DW Spellbreaker with sick greens. But I’ve never played melee WH, so can’t say for sure.
IIRC the fastest dummy kills before Malkadarr Korba was discovered belonged to some WH build that was unplayable aside from the dummy test. I might be exaggerating here so take that with a grain of salt.
I’m a bit confused right now :P.
It’s because you looked fixated to the WH and it seemed like you just created this thread waiting for someone to answer WH and get that final push to play the build. I say just continue playing WH because it’s not bad, but if you are really looking for the best dps out there then do trickster.
so what are the top pet builds would you be kind enough to give links plz.
Big q is how would malkadar trickster setup look like in order to be optimal for those ridiculous crits on execution?
