Witchblade Build, viable?

[silic]

I’ve posted this link to a Chinese 2h witch blade build before, seems good:

There are vids on first page of mad queen and BoC + Sharzul. 9 sec kills so just as good as a super geared blademaster. Don’t know how relevant this build is to the discussion, but worth a look?

This is a bleed-based WB that use Blade-Arc transmuter to get some really high DoT. Pretty impressive, and in this case it’s relevant as well…

looks really cool

my only issues with it are a) assuming it’s reliant on a +5 badge of mastery and b) the crazy kill speeds stem from a crit on a 5s cooldown skill with only 2500 OA, which puts your crit chance vs those bosses at what, 25%ish? meaning you’re only getting kills like that 1/4 of the time. i’m curious how slow it would be on non-crit.

still, not trying to hate, build looks sweet. i’m curious what the boc clear time would be though

5s cd?

hmm i don’t imagine td being especially good here since the vast majority of clean sweep’s damage would stem from the dot which wouldn’t benefit from repeated applications, td would only really ensure that you’d get your single big crit

1st vid is 9sec mad queen, 2nd vid is 9sec shar’zul, 3rd vid is BoC. It’s not a full BoC vid but you can watch him doing full clears of areas, seems quite decent.

No time dilation, his devotion setup on 2nd page.

yeah i saw the kill videos, i’m just wondering how cherry-picked they are since they rely on clean sweep critting, and it has a 5s cooldown

the build has what, like 125% bonus crit damage or so? not critting with your clean sweep (which will happen like 3/4 times) would more than double your kill time

Thanks for posting that link here, using both clean sweep and fighting form - now it makes sense.

Emp farmstead liberator is a cheaper way to do this, just with +3 blade arc instead of +1 soldier but about the same flat bleed damage on the weapon. If you have +1 all necklace, +1 soldier relic (Oleron), +3 weapon, +3 helm, +2 gloves - thats already 10 without the badge, not even +3 or +2 badge.

and b) the crazy kill speeds stem from a crit on a 5s cooldown skill with only 2500 OA, which puts your crit chance vs those bosses at what, 25%ish? meaning you’re only getting kills like that 1/4 of the time. i’m curious how slow it would be on non-crit.

I think blood of dreeg is not active on the stat screenshot, but it is there in the build. With percentile boosts it should actually pull that OA into 2700s. Procs from gloves and badge will bring it higher.

MrBrightside> maybe I’m too late, but based on the GrimCalc you posted, one interesting way could be this one : grimcalc[dot]com/build/tjNeik (sorry, first post).
You could use flame torrent on cadence, wendigo’s mark on sigil of consumption, hungering void on doom bolt (1 hit every 8 seconds is not that great, so don’t invest too much points in it) ; and you should mainly invest on regenerating life, so I think using giant’s blood, and maybe replace turtle shell by ghoulish hunger, is better for surviving.
About “time stop”, I’m not really sure it could be a good thing to use, but complete constellation is interesting.

Also try using riftstone materia, the chaos charge is really great.

Unfortunately Sigil of Consumption is hot garbage. If he’s going to get Wendigo he’d get excellent results attaching it to Curse of Frailty and taking the points from SoC and putting them elsewhere.
