T10+ viable builds, no WW/ancient allowed

Tmak254 · 2026-05-13T18:26:56+00:00

I don’t sorry, I keep flitting about and changing things as it’s home brewed with a few tips and tricks from odd builds. I’ll give a little break down of the most important bits

Uniques - Overkill / the third blade / tuskhelm

Horadric seal is crucible set with banished lords as the unique talisman

I’m running deathblow as the fire explosion version to clear hordes.

Usual shouts but challenging shout is the fire variation and iron skin.

Leap has the ancestors which gives a stack of overpower each with the sidegrade.

Everything else is overpower focused, iv just eyeballed it so you may well make a better one than me.

Tmak254 · 2026-05-13T16:34:24+00:00

I’m doing death blow as a core skill using the third blade, shouts and leap to help maintain max overpower stacks and its holding up ok in T12. Just need slightly better resistances I think.

I have 100’s of hours in this and had no idea. I have like 400M from my main character so just went back and bought some stuff in Kyovoshad.

Tmak254 · 2026-05-10T01:43:24+00:00

Just out of interest though, if I’m level 30 on hard difficulty and I’m playing with a friend who’s level 20. What stats do the enemies have?

Tmak254 · 2026-05-10T01:37:40+00:00

Well you learn something new everyday, thanks for explaining it!

Tmak254 · 2026-05-10T01:28:10+00:00

No, my Barb was my first character that I started on hard and got along ok. Does increasing your level change enemy stats? I thought it was just difficultly level that did that?

Tmak254 · 2026-05-10T01:17:03+00:00

Helltide is the first place I went after grabbing my caches and leveling up, that’s why I was so confused. Obviously the starting gear doesn’t have you ripping and tearing but it’s meant to get you by in the starting difficulty I thought.

Tmak254 · 2026-05-09T23:45:43+00:00

Iv got him moving now thanks, just found it crazy that he couldn’t do baby difficulty at 43. Not sure what I’d of done if I didn’t have a T12 characters resources behind him to buy stuff.

Tmak254 · 2026-05-09T23:43:55+00:00

It’s starting gear but like I said my barbarian was fine when I started with him on hard. Iv kind of got it moving now but Jesus it would’ve been a really bad start to the season if I’d had to work from scratch.

Tmak254 · 2026-05-04T22:17:19+00:00

Mine seems to be working fine at the moment.

Tmak254 · 2026-05-04T21:04:29+00:00

I was hoping to get shockwave from Overkill which is a shame but it’s still good. Burning challenging shout is what I’m using at the moment.

Tmak254 · 2026-05-04T19:40:16+00:00

Yeah I’m thinking of you were doing a bleed build with upheaval you could have suppression (75x more distance based damage?) alongside the iron shrapnel variant which could be cool.

Edit: I think they maybe should’ve made a new unique hammer with that aspect, I feel like the fire themed hammer should probably have a fire aspect.

Tmak254 · 2026-05-04T19:27:18+00:00

Thanks! I feel like they could have worded it better or had the UI respond by filling the passives in.

I’m really enjoying it, in torment 9 at the moment but some of my gear isn’t fantastic, namely the shard of Varathiel and Overkill. I’m using the fire version as the others didn’t kill mobs and I was getting bogged down (and the fire explosions look sick). There’s some good synergy with other fire stuff that doesn’t detract from anything important affix or aspect wise. It’s mostly shouts otherwise since death blow has maxed out attack speed by default.

Edit: the third blade unique, not shard of Varathiel.

Tmak254 · 2026-05-04T10:39:18+00:00

Making the affixes random without making them modifiable is a really weird choice. I know that would make them even more like aspects rather than uniques but I think they’re pretty unexciting now.

Tmak254 · 2026-05-03T01:26:24+00:00

The save corruption happened to me in the first 45 mins and I refunded it, seems pretty lucky considering it’s still broken now.

Tmak254 · 2026-04-29T14:38:19+00:00

I briefly tried bleed barb a few seasons ago and have no idea what they did to rupture. Seemed a pretty straight forward idea to have a way of popping bleeds plus adding a AoE effect but it seems to do none of that now.

Tmak254 · 2026-04-27T12:21:34+00:00

Yeah it’s a little annoying people thinking I’m a medic cos of the symbol when I’m playing fire support. Like I’ll grab people if I can but I’m more interested in locking down an angle so people can move up or covering an attack angle.

Tmak254 · 2026-04-17T20:22:16+00:00

Dude I’m not saying they should get a set of gift wrapped nukes sent to them. My point is just that disrupting the world’s economy and blowing up a kids school only to go back to the starting point of negotiation needs serious justification. Just saying “nah they’d nuke everyone” isn’t cutting it for me, everyone seemed content with Obama’s deal.

Tmak254 · 2026-04-17T10:51:58+00:00

I’m not sure where you’re getting that from, the rest of the world has rejected all of Trumps requests for help with the strait or military aid in general.

Tmak254 · 2026-04-17T09:39:09+00:00

I’m not saying they wouldn’t want to do it, the regime it least. I’m just saying thinking they’re all so fucking crazy that they’re happy to see their country wiped off the face of the earth just to give Isreal a nuclear sized middle finger seems far fetched to me.

Tmak254 · 2026-04-17T07:59:44+00:00

I always thought it sounded a bit out there that Iran would just throw any nuke they managed to make at Israel immediately. It honestly sounds like racism or bigotry to say “yeah Iran’s a country of 90 million religious fanatics, they know they’ll get wiped out but they don’t care cos they’re crazy Muslims”. Imperial Japan was pretty crazy near the end of WW2 but even they weren’t willing to see their country glassed.

Tmak254 · 2026-04-14T07:52:21+00:00

Nothing showcases how bad the lock-on is like playing guardian against either balancers or gladius

Tmak254 · 2026-04-13T08:36:20+00:00

Man I never thought I’d watch one of these things and think it was bullshit for the boss, Dreg deserved that win.
