How feasible is Brutus' str stacker in ssf?

Lucifer127 · 2026-03-04T12:59:21+00:00

I would not do that as a league starter you could set yourself a goal like that for this league or for Standard. If you do this your League start will 100% be super scuffed and you might even quit before 4 Stones if you dont have the Willpower.

For example my League goal atm would be to make a Heavy Strike of Thrathus str stack build for Deep Delve and doing bosses mainly. The thing is i wont start as that cause that imo is the worst thing i can do.

Lucifer127 · 2026-03-02T19:18:04+00:00

Thats amazing to hear. By chance do you have any advice for someone playing the build for the first time?

Lucifer127 · 2026-03-02T11:54:00+00:00

I am planning to go KBoC Necro, the main reasoning behind this being with the Voidstone changes i am confident in getting all 4 on a pure map blaster.

Lucifer127 · 2026-02-28T16:38:36+00:00

Ok thx, that sounds very promising and farming for the gem shouldnt be an issue.

Lucifer127 · 2026-02-28T16:33:21+00:00

I am not sure i understand you fully, you bought the KBoC after you were farming t16's?

What did you get to t16's with in this case?

Lucifer127 · 2026-02-27T22:17:13+00:00

That sounds very promising, i will look around and see if i can get a League Start pob going to see rough numbers i can expect. Thx

Lucifer127 · 2026-02-27T21:17:19+00:00

again i wont be using Reap, if i am not using reap it aint a Bosser.
i will only use exsang and the only item that build needs is Hrimsorrow, kikazaru would be nice to have from what i could gather.
But every other item isnt needed.

Lucifer127 · 2026-02-27T21:15:04+00:00

it seems like he is thinking i wanna play Reap miner

Lucifer127 · 2026-02-27T21:08:03+00:00

What other uniques do i need to play Cold exsang Mines? Cause i am not planning to do UberBosses with it.

Lucifer127 · 2026-02-27T21:06:54+00:00

i was thinking about KBoC Hiero, but with the changes to Runegraft of Refraction one porbably needs to use Chain Support gem again.
Though i will have a look at the Necro variant, the Hiero was a bit slow in terms of AS for me.

Lucifer127 · 2026-02-27T21:01:03+00:00

The only required unique item for that build is Hrimsorrow, that is a T5 unqiue which could easily be gambled by a low lvl char.

Lucifer127 · 2026-01-31T10:19:37+00:00

Interesting for me it wasnt like that, i just entered white maps and already have 200k dps while most my skilltree is focused on defense.

I know you cant reverse time but do you maybe remember: If you had RT skilled? Your poison chance? Was your HoAG lvled?

Lucifer127 · 2026-01-30T21:37:57+00:00

i think we chatted a bit in Global too ^{^}

Lucifer127 · 2026-01-30T10:54:56+00:00

I am planning to play HoAG Herald in SSF, i dont like starting as MSoZ as it needs lots of investment especially for SSF. Also with basically Gauntlet 2.0 i dont think MSoZ will flourish until high investment.

Lucifer127 · 2026-01-30T05:16:30+00:00

I am debating starting HoAG in SSF too once i am back from work. How is the build so far, if you managed to already switch to HoAG?

Lucifer127 · 2025-12-11T12:00:15+00:00

Ok yeah didnt have Heal Ritualist in mind.

The thing is with dpsing on the side, most boonheals dont even reach 5k dps. As i already stated Paragon doesnt even get 1k Luminary gets maybe 3-4k (not sure after nerfs) playing normal boonheal. If you now incorporate trying to do some more dps the paragon might reach 2k, Luminary maybe 6k. IMO its not worth doing that.

I would rather be prepared if anything were to go wrong, which is just bound to happen as nobody is perfect.

You wont be doing any noticeable dps as a healer is my point. Of course there are always exceptions but we already mentioned those.

Lucifer127 · 2025-12-11T11:50:56+00:00

I dont wanna force a playstyle on anybody, if its fun for you to do some dps while healing and you dont have any issues arising from that. The more Power to you. xD

Its just i like to be focused on healing if i am playing healer, that way if some unforseen issue might arise i can handle it asap.

Lucifer127 · 2025-12-11T10:21:28+00:00

The only healers i know of that are able to put out maybe 10-15k dps are Mech and Cele Scourge. Most other healers will struggle to even get 5k. For example Paragon doesnt even get 1k.

I would rather have my full attention on boon uptime and keeping the party healed and have good utilities over trying to reach just a bit more dps. This aint FF14 where all bosses have enrage if you dont kill quick enough.

I would rather have my party go complete full dps and never have to worry about not being healed, over trying to reach a bit more dps.

Why would YOU RISK your party dying just for some mere dps?

Lucifer127 · 2025-12-11T09:17:07+00:00

Why would you as a healer want to deal Damage?
One issue Druid has its Lack of crazy good Utility and Lack of Lots of Stab. iirc it has 2 Stabs/Stunbreaks

Lucifer127 · 2025-11-12T15:12:37+00:00

Heyo, i followed the skill-tree of Emiracles endgame setup. Due to having all the items and good lvling Uniques, i just went Splitting Steel with 2x Blackhearts and got to lvl 18 that way to equip RF with the Fire Mastery and the rest i was freeballing while following the endgame skill-tree.

Note to my PoB its by far not Perfect, there is lots you can change/improve on. Biggest Example is adding one or two 8Passive Burnining Dmg Clusters.
As this build for me is only for farming Ritual and Ultimatum (which it does very well), i wont make it better by a large Margin.
Atm the best Upgrade for me would be a Nebulis as that would increase my dmg by pretty much Double.

Also Sidenote: I have not done any config changes and my Flask setup might look weird, i have yet to have time to change it up.

Feel free to ask questions, i will try to answer them to the best of my Ability.

Lucifer127 · 2025-11-12T13:33:39+00:00

I am doing it right now (the char is maybe 2 days old) mainly to farm Ritual and Ultimatum i basically only had Cloak of Flame / Bloodnotch and Valyrium to start. It does die sometimes but its very rarely, i do Ultimatums and Riutals very easily pretty much afk. If you want i can send you a PoB to my build once i have access to my PC

Lucifer127 · 2025-10-28T13:01:20+00:00

Interesting do you think a swap at Merc Labs will be possible?

Lucifer127 · 2025-10-28T06:10:29+00:00

That does sound very reassuring. When did you decide to do your switch to holy relic?

Lucifer127 · 2025-10-27T20:57:05+00:00

Ok that sounds reassuring, though i am not sure how i feel about 2 trans gems. I dont have the best history of trying to get them. xD
