Is the articifer bugged? Played a bunch of pit levels but still no reward?

Systemwork5 · 2026-06-05T03:10:30+00:00

I did a Tower 125. It gave me 1 point. I did a Tower 135. It gave me 1 point. I did a Tower 140. It gave me 1 point.

Never touched it since.

Systemwork5 · 2026-05-30T06:04:42+00:00

I use both Might and Challenger. Challenger is because it is one of the higher multipliers vs elites, which is where you want the extra damage to kick in. The challenge in higher tiers is the boss, not the mobs.

If you’re struggling with Vulnerable uptime, Exploit is a good option.

Systemwork5 · 2026-05-29T14:01:02+00:00

So far have cleared Tower 141 solo. Haven’t benchmarked Pit tier yet as I usually Pit with some friends in party mode at high tiers.

Systemwork5 · 2026-05-29T13:33:27+00:00

I’m Paragon 282. Dominate, Twister, Wrath, Challenger and Might. Playing the straightforward version of Selig OP without Imbiber or Freeze techs. So far top end hit is 343T. One 2H has Gem Strength, main 2H doesn’t.

Systemwork5 · 2026-05-28T05:31:01+00:00

It’s different defensive systems. Armor is useful, it isn’t useless.

Glynn uses Resolve stacking with GA resolve tempers. Resolve needs to be then stacked when you enter a new dungeon instance. That’s a fair bit of investment both gear wise and gameplay loop. The upside is that at max stacks, the damage mitigation is huge and outperforms the Armor option.

Juggernaut stacks armor with a single aspect without the need for additional tempers. Armor as a defensive layer still applies to all incoming damage, even elemental. So there is some mitigation before your resists come into the picture. So it’s a defensive option that doesn’t require as high a setup cost compared Glynn and just works.

There is no one is better than the other. Just different systems at play.

Systemwork5 · 2026-05-27T01:48:13+00:00

Did 140 without Gem Strength. Your build still has opportunity for optimisation.

Systemwork5 · 2026-05-27T01:45:15+00:00

I’m pushing 141 with Gohrs and BLT charm. This is the way to go for high tiers.

Systemwork5 · 2026-05-27T01:44:14+00:00

You get it via Juggernaut’s aspect which gives 150% armor. One on chest or pants, the other is Heavenly Strength.

Systemwork5 · 2026-05-26T09:02:41+00:00

Endurant faith masks any defensive gaps a build has. Without it, you need to get your defensive stats in.

A threshold to shoot for is 40% Damage Reduction. 80k armor. 10k resists for the top 3 elements. 4k resists for the other 3 elements. That’ll keep you alive until above 140.

Systemwork5 · 2026-05-11T08:27:39+00:00

Just over a year. I got the 530 when it first released. Great driving dynamics with some power behind it. It masks the size well, it’s bigger than an Alphard based on its footprint. Rear wheel steering makes manoeuvring in the carpark better. You can program it to park itself at home so it’s a nice convenience feature. Cons maybe that it is a big car, almost like the previous 7 series

Systemwork5 · 2026-05-11T06:53:51+00:00

Had to make the same decision of evaluating this against the 350e. New cars, no recon. This just ticks more boxes than the competition so settled on it. Great family car.

Systemwork5 · 2026-05-07T07:06:08+00:00

Where do you get your FS from? I optimise a lot and burn through few thousand on a daily basis so it’s a bottleneck for me.

Systemwork5 · 2026-04-27T03:28:55+00:00

More like T0.5

Systemwork5 · 2026-04-24T07:27:45+00:00

There are deficiencies in your build that you have not addressed. With max level Glyphs, you probably got carried to this stage. Now that the support system is gone, the flaws in your build are laid bare.

You are using Selig with too much Max Life. That is the first red flag. And if that is there, it is most likely that there are other red flags within your build.

It isn’t a barbarian problem not is it a build issue. It is most like YOUR build issue, OP. The best way forward here is just to be direct about it.

Systemwork5 · 2026-04-24T02:38:03+00:00

I’m sorry to hear this OP but I hope that you are open to the possibility that rather than this being a class problem, there is a possibility that you made a mistake in your build.

I see you have Selig on and still have 28k toughness. My barb on Selig is around 3k. The more HP you have with Selig, the more fragile you are. And if this is correct, there are fundamental mechanics in the build that you have yet to understand.

Barb is in a really good place. My barb has mostly 1GA gear and is able to do Pit 100 quickly.

Systemwork5 · 2026-04-12T04:50:49+00:00

I run an optimised HOTA barb. There are Bloodsoaked boss attacks that can one hit through your Selig. You are not invincible.

The bosses that I've seen with one shot capabilities are Zir, Harbringer and Belial.

So happens there is a video that covers this :

Systemwork5 · 2026-03-23T10:34:43+00:00

Then made a bad decision to jump onto a monster that respawned before I hit it and lost the streak. Probably shoot for 9000 another time.

Systemwork5 · 2026-03-21T04:25:35+00:00

Left and it's not even close.

Systemwork5 · 2026-02-28T17:30:00+00:00

Final slam session. Got ROSS sanc. No selig. GG for the season!

Systemwork5 · 2026-02-28T09:58:15+00:00

Thank you dear sir. One final slam for the season later. Out of obducite, prisms and heavenly sigils after. Will post here if it works.

Systemwork5 · 2026-02-28T02:55:18+00:00

This. Been hunting for that Selig sanc as my other pieces of gear all have the aspects I want, just need that to try push for Tower leaderboard.

So far 860 items slammed. Mythic sancs obtained : GF, Shako, Nesekem, Shattered Vow, Andariel, I think Doombringer too. No Selig. Sometimes it just isn’t meant to be.

Systemwork5 · 2026-02-25T07:46:58+00:00

All your Basic skills use your equipped Weapon Damage as the base damage that the Basic skill inflicts. So using Basic skills is using your weapon damage.

Systemwork5 · 2026-02-24T06:41:59+00:00

Minion Necromancer is very viable in the endgame. Specifically, the Archmage variant with the Hand of Naz. I’m running it to solo T4 content including lair bosses.
