Hello,
I usually play multiplayer and I’m looking for what may be considered the top DPS build currently. Just about to make a new character and looking to melt things the fastest. It can be slightly more glass cannon due to the multiplayer game style but I’d still prefer to maintain Max resists if possible.
From what I can tell it seems like witchhunters, magehunter, or spellbinders are top at the moment?
I mostly play SR for reference.
Thanks!
SR and DPS are quite antonymous.
But I guess for the best combo of tankiness and single target dps you gotta try a blademaster. Belgothian or Spite PB. Witch hunters are not tanky in general, spellbinders got tankiness but temporary and mage hunters got great dmg reduction and absorbtion but are oten limited by low health. All those classes can produce high dps setups sub85 viable, and the difference is honestly only apparent when you speedrun Crucible and count seconds. Just play the skills you enjoy.
if you’re interested in consistent SR climbs beyond 100 then mostly two options exist: pets and retal warlords.
The main reason I’ve mentioned the multiplayer aspect is I was hoping to go for more of a glass cannon type build this time as I frequently play with very tanky players. I’m not desperate for 100+ SR, more just curious what build does 75-76 SR in teams consistently with highest DPS.
For MP, it’s best to pick classes you friends don’t have so that you don’t waste your debuffs, area buffs and auras. For example two soldiers with Field Command or two inquisitors with Censure won’t get double the benefit. But an inquisitor with Censure and occultist with Curse of Frailty will give you double resistance reduction, and soldier with field command and shaman with Mogdrogen Pact will give you both buffs.
That being said, you want something with range. I’d say good old AAR spellbinder would do great. You can shoot from behind the line, and when something gets through you got Mirror-MoT to temporarily get as tanky as your friends are. Dark One Conjurer/Ritualist would also rock the shit out of your party as Wendigo Totems heal everyone. Cyclone elementalist is a superb build - used to be the fastest in the game (might still be…) - and it doen’t require you to engage directly. TSS/Devils druids will also do nicely.
