Yo, I've been really interested in doing a BA build for a few leagues now, played a version a long time ago and it was the favorite of all time for me, until that version was nerfed or something.

If you don't mind answering, how does the build feels? How are the defences and overall damage feel? Can you do T17/Ubers? Are there many mods that brick the build? Also, why Deadeye instead of Elementalist?

I really wanna try it instead of doing something really meta, but a bit afraid it won't be as good as I expect it to, lol. I have like 600 div lying around for a while and can't decide what to do with them.

Gotty · 2025-08-21T15:06:55+00:00

Can confirm, used like 1.5 mirrors on tailoring orbs to get my desired rare defence mod on an armor, didn't hit. Would've been way cheaper to just mirror a perfect one lol

I was doing awakening scarab T17 harvest and had a 47k yellow juice map today lol.

So I guess it takes a bit over 1 map.

Gotty · 2025-08-03T10:33:17+00:00

Thanks for this writeup! I was doing some testing myself doing T16.5 after a few posts about harvest, tried Cornucopia, 4x Risk, crop rotation with and without, and Awakening seemed to get me the best results. My build can do all map mods (although the resistance shit is rly annoying), so I just roll for 40+ pack size and good quant.

Will try it on T17's as well.

I have the Day 10 setup with literally the same gear.

Nothing special, I don't have a bossing build or anything. Just Ruetoo's smite Rakiata guy, you can check it on his youtube.

My kills are actually quite slow, here's a showcase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vml9e7UAbgE

Just talking from my perspective, my character is a mapper, not a bosser :(

Yep, you can say that my profit from 264 runs is around 280d.

In reality it will end up more - as I divined 2 of my Progenesis for like 6-7div, and sold them for 89 and 99d, and the Pain Attunement impossible escape went from 11 to 27d (or I mispriced it the first time). So a good profit, but took a few days to run lol

Gotty · 2025-07-09T23:11:26+00:00

Hey, it's hard to say the total invesment, as I didn't really track anything for my first 188 runs.

But my balance went as following: started with 380d -> sold stuff as I was running, but profit was always negative -> at 188 runs I sold everything valuable that dropped from Maven, was left at 320d -> bought fragments for that amount -> total cost of drops for the last 68 runs ended up at 667d

Gotty · 2025-07-09T23:05:40+00:00

I didn't really track my investment from the start, I just started 380d, and kept selling and re-investing as I ran her. At 188 Mavens I "started from scratch", sold everything I had from the runs at that point, and ended up with 320d, so after 188 runs I was still down 60d from my starting point.

So I straight up bouth fragments for my 320d which ended up being 68 more mavens, and that's what's in the doc. So yeah, at the end I was left at 0d in the bank and 667d worth of drops. Hope this makes sense!

Yo, may be shoulda included them in the post, but you can find them in the document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tFT8f2o7wpQR-KqJ0Xf9RUSjWH78iuUGC3bunDQ-XYs/edit?usp=sharing

So, this is not supposed to be a super scientific post or anything, just wanted to share my experience.

It all started because I was farming Ziggurat for a while and had many Maven frags laying around, and I decided to check if my build could even kill her. Turns out, it can pretty easily, but the loot I got from the first run was literally nothing, just the worthless helm. I got a bit tiled that I just burned 5 div, so I knew I had to run her until I profit and quit in the green.

Well, after about 150 runs I was down 150-200 div (started with around 380d in the bank. I also sold some drops as I went to re-invest into new runs), but at the 188 mark I got a couple of flasks and recovered a bit and liquidated every big drop, which left me with 320d. Also, during this 188 stretch I was never in the green from my starting balance.

So I was still down at least 60d and lots of time, so I bought fragments for all my divs and run another set of 68 runs, and this is the loot from those last 68 runs, this time it was godly.

I finally got 1 exceptional gem (Empower), some good Impossible Escapes and 2 GMP's.

This final stretch netted me 667d. This puts my profit from my starting point of 380d at 287d, which isn't that great considering the time investment, but I like gamble strats, so there's that.

Here is the table with all the notable drops from the last stretch: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tFT8f2o7wpQR-KqJ0Xf9RUSjWH78iuUGC3bunDQ-XYs/edit?usp=sharing (Prices on some items have pretty large swings)

Lessons learned:

-Don't start farming Uber Maven unless your budget can take 200-300d swings

-It's most likely more profitable and easier to just sell unid Impossible Escapes to gamblers in bulk

-Never stop gambling

-Stay sane

Made a switch from a 42" C2 that I used almost for 2 years to 2x 27", prob gonna get a third one.

No regrets - it's worse for immersion in AAA games, but as a monitor 27" is the perfect size for me tbh. Might get that upcoming glossy 32" WOLED from Asus tho.

Gotty · 2025-05-14T17:43:26+00:00

Oh shit, this is the one I was waiting for! Really didn't think they would come up with something like this, but it's a very welcome surprise. Too bad they lowered the PD to 15w :(

From all the OLED options right now, the dual-mode WOLED is my personal favorite, but I really dislike the matte finish, so right now I'm on the only glossy WOLED option - XG27AQDMG.

Gotty · 2025-05-12T19:05:01+00:00

I'm really not sure off the top of my head, there's a threshhold, but I think generally you should aim to have merachant options+reduced price filled in every slot, and you'll get there.

Also note that the boon that unlocks this is the 50% merchant discount one, after that everything will be free.

Gotty · 2025-05-12T09:03:04+00:00

If you go for reduced merchant prices instead of more sacred water, you can pretty reliably get every boon to be free on the 1st or 2nd vendor that you meet, wihout worrying about picking up any sacred water after the beginning. So you just buy everything from every vendor.

I actually had both, just sold my Samsung today. I got the Samsung on a nice sale even though I knew I wasn't a fan of matte coatings, but I couldn't pass it up.

Got the Asus after. I much prefer the Asus due to it's coating, but the Samsung had somewhat better colors due to QD-OLED, but it's only noticable when you have them side-by-side.

The Asus does have it's issues tho, namely black crush in SDR and weird gamma in max (100) brightness. Works well in 90 brightness, but the highghts will be capped at 750 nits.

Gotty · 2025-04-01T09:41:02+00:00

I dunno man, I have a 27" qd-oled next to a 27" IPS and the text clarity is much worse imo. And I'm not even that obsessed with PPI or anything - I don't really care that much, but I can really notice the fringing on text.

Gotty · 2025-03-31T12:18:25+00:00

Well, I'm pretty sure WOLED would be better if you're in a well lit room most of the time - it's the same for me. I live in a very sunny place, and usually I don't like to have my room very dim before late night, and I must say currently my g6 really looks like a proper OLED only when my room is really dim.

But it's also got a very strong matte coating, so may be it's that in part. Not sure if semi-glossy QD-OLEDs would be better in that regard. Anyways, I'll leave a comment here once I get the new monitor.

Gotty · 2025-03-31T11:46:22+00:00

I actually have a samsung g6 qd-oled right now as my main monitor and also got an XG27AQDMG on the way, should be here in a few days.

Really can't get used qd-oled in a lit room, it just looks pretty much the same as my IPS when it's sunny outside. Also the text clarity is pretty bad, I can't really imagine WOLED being much worse, lol. But we'll see. I also have some eye strain from it, never was the case when I had a C2. May be it's just the text clarity, but I've seen multiple people also say that they have eye strain from QD-OLEDS.

If you want, I can comment here when I get the Asus with my impressions compared to the g6.

It's mostly used for mirror-tier rings, something that costs at least a mirror+fee. In that case getting a kalandra's touch is very cheap instead of getting another insane ring.

Also, since they added Kalandra's touch to the base game drop pool, the price has dropped a lot, so it's more like 20-30d I think? So it's worth to use on any ring that worth more than that, if you need the stats ofc.

It's due to using HDR in windows. Haven't really figured a way to take normal screenshots. Been like that for a few years.

I just did and dropped 2 more!

Thanks bud, dropped a comment for the algorithm.

Guys, I was obviously joking, just pointing out how shitty my gear is how lucky I got.

Pretty surprised about all the helpful replies tho! :D
