The most op builds so far (single player)

This Ultos - Conjurer build
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STT-JGpb52M

Now I have tried a few others but so far nothing comes close to this beast

I can clear any part of the game with ease even John Bourbon while face tanking just about anything without using a single potion.
Now you can still die in bastion of chaos if you not careful but that usually means chugging a potion or 2 when health drops low.
Both offensively and defensively just a superb combination. If you start to use buff potions then the game on ultimate becomes a joke almost

Other builds are lucky to have at least one. They either too squishy or slow clear speed or too reliant on potions to be effective.

Now this is just my experience so far. If people could list the most powerful build they know so we can compare which is the fastest/tankiest/easiest build there is.

Cheers

Have you tried the Mad Queen with a Conjurer, just curious :undecided:

not yet but just read the patch notes

it did get a nerf unfortunately, funny I was looking for any buffs and almost everything else got a buff except the mighty ultos rofl. how sad

40% health ----> to 34%
hawk devotion got a nerf by 5% and doubled cooldown… sad as its tagged to main attack
golemborn boots also got a nerf sadly

only spear of heavens got a small buff

yea that sucks.
Although it is still a solid build and probably did need a small nerf.
Just goes to show how powerful it was

witch hunter pretty gud I heard/read

5

In the current patch (1.0.0.4), Time Dilation plus any high damage skill with a cooldown.

Possibly the most OP thing there’s ever been in an ARPG.

6

Pretty much, its matching old Shadow Strike with a max CDR build (Which could reach 100% CDR).

Only, you know, you can do it on any skill in the game, not just Shadow Strike.

Blackwater Cocktail proc’er

I’m following this build:

Huh.

BRB… setting GD to “offline”.

Unless/until I get Flash Bang back.

10

You could get 100%cd and -100% energy cost in Titan quest and spam any skill for eternity. That game was the epitome of OP things in an ARPG

11

Pfffft.

Spamming in Titan Quest meant you were doing it wrong. :smiley:

If anything, Hydra included, lived for more than 5 seconds, you were either toying with it, or not built properly.

12

This i gotta try :smiley:
Thanks for the post!

my bwc+_sigil pyromancer is shaping up to be beastly.

14

I might be late to the party, but how do I try this out? When I check the video there aint a guide to follow, just links to google drive with files I find out I can launch in a custom game. But I dont understand how that will help me try this build out.

15

This build was severely nerfed, it isnt as strong in 1.0.0.9 patch.
Also, it literally REQUIRES FULL Ultos set to be effective, and pieces of that set are incredibly rare to drop (except weapon). Ultos set is designed literally PERFECTLY for that very build.
Just to mention - i play since 1.03, and STILL have only 3 pieces of Ultos Set (the only set among “old” ones i hadnt completed yet).

If you arent a lucky owner of full Ultos set, and if you play modern patch, dont bother with this build, it wont be even near as strong as it’s shown on video. Most probably, it will be lackluster.

The Amulet was by far the hardest for me to get. Next are shoulders.

Chest and axe dropped may times

17

Ultos is probably the set that drops the most to me. Got Ultos Hood BP early on and got each set piece at least 3 times.

Wish this happened to the sets i haven’t completed yet.

18

well for mad queen fab and anasteria nemesis i use my tank (which alone tanks mad queen for the show ) and killing warden ultimate AFK !

for any other mob even moggy i use my incineration build which got stacking burn on the puppet i go at 190 k max for 20 second well i will post my build if you like me on youtube …https://youtu.be/v5kROstBaCk

19

Those 2 are pieces i still lack. Chest dropped just once for me.

I started the lazy pokemon build and Ultos build when I started playing last year , over 1000 hours into the game and still waiting on some parts of that set :stuck_out_tongue: Up until a few weeks ago I still only had the weapon .

Damn thing never drops .

And now an expansion is coming with a lot more legendaries to water the pool down , so going to have an even harder time .
