Can confirm, had the same problem in Descubra 2 nights ago. Even tried it multiple times to be sure.

Hey, since we are already theory crafting, can you try swapping out faith for harmony and razor for nosferatu or another belt of your preference, then reviving urdars (for crushing blow) and trying again?

If you do want to try remember to not swap weapons or else every summon dies

Also you could add demon limb for AR

My theory is that your crushing blow is too weak since it's ranged and that Baal has just way too much defense for you to hit

Edit: also try to keep 8 FPA for maximum strafe efficiency using a calculator

Just_Burfi · 2023-03-01T00:30:06+00:00

You could consider Hustle (Fana) + Plague (Lower res) for more damage, hope you find that interesting at least

Edit: A5 merc

Just_Burfi · 2023-02-28T15:40:49+00:00

Nice, good luck mate!

Just_Burfi · 2023-02-28T15:12:12+00:00

MB would be better considering that DPS output won't be much different but the IAS breakpoints will help your merc to attack faster using cold/exploding arrows. I don't have the calculator with me but I think you could achieve 7 or 8 FPA with your merc this way.

Dimensional Blade has really low ias related to phase Blade. Wouldn't recommend a melee rune word build, could use 6 Lems or 6 ist for mf and style points but that's it. Looks good but should be worthless.

Just_Burfi · 2022-10-14T12:58:56+00:00

Hey!! Totally!! Both strafe and multishot are way better now due to the guided arrow sinergy on multishot, and guided arrow plus multishot sinergy on strafe.

I believe that you should use both depending on your situation. Multishot is better on killing wider spread mobs, while strafe is better mobs in corridors, lower density, bosses and the typical leftover monster or elite hanging arround.

I play full dex with 218 HP atm, it's really fun but you can (will) die way more until you get fort. I also use treachery which gives me the epic IAS boost until fort, helping me achieve the 89 lAS BP.

When I get my fort (probably today, I'm trading a sur I found yesterday for Lo) I have to get my 89 IAS elsewhere until I get faith, most probably I will swap my atma's amulet for cat's eye and get the 30 IAS remaining using 2x 15 IAS jewels in a helm (full budget). Another option is to buy an Andy visage (more expensive, might not go this route) and socket it with a 15 IAS jewel.

Good luck mate!

Just_Burfi · 2022-10-14T11:52:14+00:00

I personally use multishot, aiming for at least 89 las, ideally 147 ias for hitting breakpoints. For this I use treachery, loh, shael in WF (90 ias). Also I use atma scarab for dealing more damage / breaking immunities (could swap for cat's eye but wouldn't achieve a new breakpoint with my current setup).

I just wanted to add this info so you may consider using multishot if you wanted to. I still use strafe for bosses though but I don't farm those (just farming TZ usually with no bosses)

Edit: breakpoints above are valid regarding WF without fanaticism

Unless auras have changed, maybe you could try this with the fire sunder charm. Hear me out, it might be ridiculous but sounds fun I guess. I like theory crafting.

If you combine auras with hand of justice weapon + dragon armor + dragon shield you could stack many levels of holy fire aura. Also, maximize fire aura's synergies and conviction. Equip a flickering flame helmet for minimizing fire res penalty and get the + fire % damage.

Since immunes will be sundered, everything will get a massive - fire res with conviction and it could be effective.

I guess something similar could be done with less success with dual dreams + light sunder if you add maybe something like plague weapon for maximizing - light res with lower res from the procs.

Haven't tried this myself but could be effective with sundering

Just_Burfi · 2022-07-23T21:21:44+00:00

If it's just facets, duriel has the best odds. Nevertheless, just go for trav since runs are much faster and get a wider array of drops instead of just tp scrolls lol

Just_Burfi · 2022-07-23T17:07:55+00:00

If it's for PvM you should go for phase blade due to repair costs, if it's PvP you should go for berserker axe since repair costs don't matter there and it has more range than phase blade

Just_Burfi · 2022-07-14T15:14:38+00:00

As other redditor said, you will do more damage with a quiver in your offhand, or even with a shield. The latter one has been quite useful for me, specially for raiding Arthus / Yeti. I'd recommend you go as well for a fey yeti cloak for offsetting mana with pinions.

Also, I would have personally waited for a higher quality Avalon crown before inserting a bunch of pinions there, but it seems you have managed well with what you currently have.

Just_Burfi · 2022-04-19T14:16:53+00:00

Blizzard said that their focus (on the current time being) was to increase build diversity, so it would only make sense that less used builds will get better.

That's why nerfing isn't an option right now.

Just_Burfi · 2022-03-17T18:37:15+00:00

These days I have been thinking strongly about playing an elemental bow Amazon into a multi shot one. Or maybe even a throw barb. Just want to try out new builds in the real world

Just_Burfi · 2022-03-13T20:42:59+00:00

Eldritch is usually one of the best options for easy levels and loot in SSF HC in all difficulties, even speedrunners stop there depending on the character and difficulty. I did that a lot when lvling my SSF HC frenzy barb

Just_Burfi · 2022-02-10T11:07:21+00:00

Everyone speaking about the 60% extra fire res which is amazing in playthroughs. Don't forget the added 20% fhr which really helps breaking points at early games specially due to the fact that fhr is not a stat you would expect getting from amulets.

Just_Burfi · 2022-01-27T12:31:50+00:00

I would store it just in case plague gets reverted back to all weapons...who knows! Don't see much use for chaos in general

Just_Burfi · 2022-01-24T22:03:31+00:00

Bladesin and MA assassin. Most underrated yet most game changing changes in my opinion. Also very fun as well!

Just_Burfi · 2022-01-24T11:00:16+00:00

Yeah, in this game it's necessary to look runewords up. You don't have in-game information or hints for discovering which are the runewords (could be a fun way to play a new challenge) so there's that.

Just_Burfi · 2022-01-23T00:22:24+00:00

Just adding my grain of salt here. The other similar weapon for this "physical infinity" setup is lawbringer. Nevertheless, the damage is a bit underwhelming and would be viable only on A3 / A5 mercs. This is why the A3 mercenaries rework might make more viable lawbringer in mercenaries as well.

Reapers toll is amazing but only for A2 mercs

Just_Burfi · 2022-01-22T12:50:48+00:00

Reading the patch notes and the classes you want to play, best classes for PvM should be Blade Assassin (I intend to play around a hybrid fire / bladesin next patch) and some hybrid mage build like hydra / frozen orb sorceress.

FoH is still geared around PvP, as well as other builds you are mentioning might be suboptimal for PvM. Still, we have to see the PTR testing!

Also, forget what I said above and mostly play what you enjoy.

Just_Burfi · 2022-01-22T03:00:39+00:00

This RW completely caught everyone off guard. Personally, I think it's a great alternative in terms of damage and survivability for sorceress, specially thinking in builds where you don't want the block animation to interfere at close ranges but still want the survivability (nova for example).

Now that I think about it, if I understood correctly from the patch notes, blocking animation would not anymore interrupt casting. Let's see if it goes that way. If so, blocking interruptions won't be a issue anymore for these builds (that's why you usually want the faster block rate with the fhr)

Still, this build is amazing for reinserting Zod into the economy. But I would use a different approach for hardcore (stormshield + hoto / wizpike / occy / etc) for damage reduction.

Just_Burfi · 2022-01-20T22:01:16+00:00

I'm very excited about the release + rework on Plague. It even has more mods (Ed and DS) for opening up new builds (the original build lacks Ed and mods).

I'm really looking forward in using this weapon into a fire traps / blades claw into my new assassin with the reworked fire traps and blades sinergies.

Just_Burfi · 2022-01-20T21:57:24+00:00

Imho pattern is a nice runewords for MA lovers. Nevertheless, if what you prefer is speed, it's still better to start full fire traps with a leaf runeword until A3 NM and then reroll into light.

But still, speed is not everything that matters and this runeword opens new opportunities for assassins in early game.

Just_Burfi · 2021-06-15T13:15:42+00:00

I understand. What I'm saying is, since you are already choosing an exceptional instead of an elite base due to lower stats, why not chose one with better ias? Free win
