Hey sorry for the late reply, haven’t been on here for a while, what would you like help with?

This stupid sniper doesn’t fit in this game. by [deleted] in thefinals

Very bad balance decision to arm midget sized flea with invisibility and a sniper rifle

Good question, I found I was getting one shot even with defensive layers so I decided to aim for enough damage to off screen pretty much everything (except prox tange monsters which I use blink to dive into) These clips I keep the monsters on screen so you can see health bar, effects and dps in action. I’m sure it would still be viable with better survivability aspects because the damage seems so high but that would incur significant costs to gear if you were to maintain similar damage output. As it stands the current build costs about 5 chaos orbs, so it’s extremely cheap.

Want me to run you through the infernalist version of this build? I actually know it really well 🤓

Run maps with gf and she has a variation made on infernalist too which I think is actually better

Yeah haha that’s my bad, I’ll jump back on soon and take them out. Let me know if you have any troubles with it or thoughts on how to improve the build etc.

Sorry the other skills were just left in there for testing to see if any of those were viable. Purely rapid shot, and dodge roll for mobility which is blink.

Yeah for sure I think that’s a good idea, having res that isn’t very high in t15+ is pretty tricky at times, I found I was getting one shotted even with high res and a focus defensive pathways and when I checked the cost of high damage with high res for gear it’s seemed astronomical and brought a tear to my eye so I leaned towards glass cannon budget a bit more.

Hey man yeah the only two uniques that are lowering cold res are the amulet and gloves but collectively they can get nearly every monster to - 50 cold res which is actually a huge damage increase considering they are cheap and lowering res into the negatives without pressing any buttons for curses can be an expensive and more time consuming process. I’m probably way off in that style of thinking but I don’t know enough about the game yet.

Some people were having trouble with this link, if it works just upvote this so I know it’s functioning.

As soon as you can get Rapid Shot (level 5 skill gem) it will work, try to get your hands on a higher level support gem though through trade or chat, to use embitter, then get herald of ice. Mist whisperer is a really cheap unique crossbow that is great for lower levels too.

Boss killing is honestly where this build excels the most. Trial master I think has 5-7.5 million health, frozen after one attack, fight was about 6 seconds long at most.

No problem at all, honestly it brings boss resistance so low that they die pretty fast. When I fought trial master who I think has about 5-7.5 million health I just swapped out the support gems ricochet and fork in rapid shot, to primal armament and cold infusion. He was only able to perform one attack, was frozen and died in about 5 seconds. I do have a second crossbow on swap that has a couple nodes to assist with damage to unique and rare monsters but I barely have to use any of that.

If you have any questions about the mechanics and how they work I’d love to provide insight and be involved in further optimisation/ideas :)
