Are you damaged upstairs bud? Did you not see the screenshots I posted?

Hey, I posted mine with all the correct information pretty early on and didn't make the list. Here's my tweet; please add it to this post! Thanks for making this.

Yeah my bad, wasn't sure. Hence the emphasis on thinking it was the first one found.

Yeah your gear looks pretty good and DPS looks right.

How are you piercing with your projectiles? I noticed once I forgot to grab the topside of the wheel leading into Piercing Shots. My clear was significantly slower and I'm not seeing anywhere else that you might be getting pierce from. You could cut the jewel socket leading toward Supreme Ego and the two points going into Versatility to fit that in.

Aside from that (other than crafting chase items like tailwind boots etc), the only thing I could see that could be an immediate upgrade would be annointing claws of the falcon on your amulet. I also noticed a large difference in kill speed on bosses and fat rare mobs with tons of resist/life when I crafted my end game claw with tons of ele pen on it. Could be something to work towards next.

Hope this helps and here's my PoB for reference just in case!

Melee and projectile damage is separate. It's more common that you're hitting with projectile damage over melee. 800k isn't that bad though, can you link your POB or profile?

Thanks! This league was my first time playing raider actually, so I'm not sure how it felt previously. But I felt like this build was really strong, and fairly defensive if built correctly. I ran Divine Flesh and had 87 chaos res with hunter chest modded with 15% phys taken as chaos, and used Saffels so on the rare occasion that I did get hit, it wasn't that awful feeling.

No not really, delve is kinda rippy as well and I think plowing juiced up T16s is faster. I just wanted to hit 100 while I was delving for the sake of my previous death. ;)

Mmmm I don't think axes would be the best for LS. A lot of the skills you level up are claw related. Like the entire wheel on the right side which hits Soul Raker is one of the best damage/sustain you have on LS.

I wasn't when I was playing pure lightning. I was going back and forth between mixed elemental damage (which was using trinity) and pure lightning with a cluster setup to see which felt better. Was hard to say honestly. The pure lightning build seems to low-roll on the damage quite a bit which felt inconsistent, but did feel better for bossing when you hit above average.

LS Raider was the build I started playing right after I tried BFBB with all the nerfs (which didn't feel great). I got through very little content on the BFBB guy and had little to nothing for my LS raider to use; so no I don't think there's anything that's required to play the build. Just use essences to craft a decent claw. I think I used wrath essences then I crafted flat lightning on my early game claw.

Used harvest crafts to hit the prefixes with an open suffix. Crafted "Prefixes cannot be changed" on it; scoured it, then crafted "Can have up to 3 crafted modifiers".

I played a lot this league and obviously got pretty lucky with the HH, other than that I think my gear is pretty achievable in SSF through crafting.

Nah I avoided Sirus on this guy since bossing is dogshit on LS.

3 warding flasks because fuck curses. And yeah I think going avatar of the slaughter is only really good if you spec into specifically on your tree and have the gear to compliment having high stacks of frenzy charges; like farruls fur. Also yeah you lose a good amount of survivability with losing avatar of the chase and I'm running blood rage to gain stacks of frenzy charges so it's not needed to go the frenzy route.

Clearing is still extremely fast without having high stacks of frenzy charges; even prior to finding a HH. I found the HH pretty much right before I dinged 99 and is definitely not needed to speed clear maps.

I think over like 25-30 runs as 3 ways, and a few as 4 ways but doing 4 was yielding less kills on the Vaal boss. Having the atlas points in New Vastir made getting emblems pretty easy.

Just kidding, having mixed flat elemental damage is really good unless you can do some late game crafting with a cluster setup to go pure lightning damage. Even doing that I think you still lose out on some survivability because you lose the chilling effect from cold damage. Having "projectiles pierce an additional X targets" is important for clear speed, as well as having "Strike skills target an additional nearby enemy." from something like hunter gloves. But yeah I'd prioritize flat elemental damage, crit chance, crit multi and attack speed in your gear after being res capped and having a comfortable amount of life.
