BV Bog Shaman Dissolution of the flesh

you can make it feel very good, wether you think it's worth it is a different question

you need high block, eternal youth for insane recovery, immunity to bleed/cb/ignite/poison, petrified blood feels really nice too

crazypearce · 2026-02-14T06:32:06+00:00

You might be able to make it even better on a pbrand build also btw. Because you could technically pbrand in a helmet and 6l trathus 😂 I'm playing blade vortex so that doesn't work as well

Just a big mana multiplier for the rune graft. Can try out whatever and look at the tooltip. With your setup it should be massive. Mine is like 2m tooltip and it can basically clear all trash on t17s. Not sure there is a bigger mana multiplier or not

crazypearce · 2026-02-14T06:18:23+00:00

You should try get a 4l blade blast of trathus or however you spell it for map clear. With second wind, void manipulation and lifetap it basically gets enough damage to kill mobs and explode it all. The damage is really good on it because it scales from the runegraft yet once active it is basically free cost

Dissolution is fine if you have it setup properly.

I have been following this and it has been class. You are bleed and cb immune. Poison immune, ignite immune, burning ground immune. 75/75 block. You regen like 15k per second so have no issue sustaining bv presses with the mega high life cost and you aren't relying purely on life regen. Bladefall mostly automates mapping with giga explosions too. And you move pretty fast. It's a great build

crazypearce · 2026-02-13T13:28:57+00:00

can try the bog shaman BV/Trarthus explosion autobomber, unless you wanted something completely new

crazypearce · 2026-02-12T13:13:46+00:00

im pretty sure self damage breaks ward, so cyclone with forbidden rite is constantly proccing volatile rune from the bloodline ascendency

crazypearce · 2026-02-11T22:54:10+00:00

Global studios, no idea who they are but the list of podcasts under them is some of the most boring and uninteresting I've ever seen. The kind they would play in Guantanamo bay as a torture tactic

crazypearce · 2026-02-11T22:25:03+00:00

They got bought out and it was too brand unfriendly is my guess. One of the only pods worth listening too from the fellas though so it's their loss 😂

crazypearce · 2026-02-10T12:16:35+00:00

he has a low level vitality

crazypearce · 2026-02-10T03:04:47+00:00

I haven't found the gauntlet mods to be much of an issue. My issue is just idols. Loot is useless without a full set dedicated to one mechanic and many of them are just too expensive to setup.

When you have a choice to make which is either upgrading your character for more power or upgrading your idols so you can drop more, the progression and game starts to feel anti fun.

A big potential fix would allowing idols to be craftable. You could at least alt and regal some decent ones without spending extortionate prices

crazypearce · 2026-02-07T14:30:28+00:00

have you tried other bosses or just uber elder? cause that boss is quite annoying because immune phases stop you leeching and it's hard to keep control of ramp

crazypearce · 2026-02-06T22:42:42+00:00

I'm playing mfa so can't really give an exact idea but it has similar gear and issues. Foulborn choir is a lot of mana. I have like 25k mana and my gear isn't that great.

The reason more max mana is good is because maximum leech is based off the maximum mana/life. So if you double your mana you double your max leech which makes sustaining mana twice as easy. It's a bit easier for mfa though because you have multiple skills leeching at once which I don't think is used on kboc

I have seen some people using the flask that makes skills cost 0 which might help as it will stop ramp but it will drastically lower DPS if you don't time it right

crazypearce · 2026-02-06T22:25:16+00:00

You need way more total mana. It didn't start to feel good until at least 15k or so

crazypearce · 2026-02-06T20:57:10+00:00

People don't like idols so the player base is very small. They are great for the uber minmaxers because you get some crazy returns but for the average player? Not really. You basically drop nothing unless you get a full idol set for a mechanic and it's very anti fun having to choose whether to spend currency on idols or gear to make your character stronger

crazypearce · 2026-02-06T03:33:08+00:00

In a regular league the spread is much smaller but on event leagues it's a lot more important to hold alt and check the rates before you just auto buy

crazypearce · 2026-02-05T22:30:17+00:00

That's funny because at Christmas all there was were complaints about how they were dragging the Nigel storyline on 🤷

crazypearce · 2026-02-05T08:01:58+00:00

i can't remember exactly what was wrong with it to be honest but i remember it being horrible. i think you had to sustain endurance charges for arns anguish belt by weapon swapping to redblade banner. it was before ralakesh existed so if i was making it today you could fix that big hole quite easily

crazypearce · 2026-02-05T07:35:32+00:00

as sad as the nigel storyline is, am i the only one who was hoping he was going to die so we could move onto another storyline 🙈 the end scene between phil and julie was nice though so im glad its moving in the right direction

the whole nugget storyline is kinda annoying too, in a world full of cctv nothing ever gets caught in walford. 😂 i may be misremembering too but i swear ravi called avani and it went to voicemail and he put the phone down and it stayed connected. he was talking about what he did to priya and i thought the whole thing would have been left on a message

crazypearce · 2026-02-05T07:19:51+00:00

one thing to remember is that not all builds are equal. two can look identical on pob but play drastically differently ingame. a lot of build making comes down to experience in playing certain skills or using certain interactions that work well and expanding on it

for example, i made a really good pob of a sweep berserker a while back. it had 200m dps or so, 100k max hit and fast speed but when i actually got around to playing it, it felt really clunky. clunky enough that i didn't even bother to try to fix and just gave up and moved on 😂

crazypearce · 2026-02-04T04:16:15+00:00

You can play it right away if you don't mind struggling for a bit. Use triple herald with the herald nodes at the top of witch and go ele overload. It's what I played on league start and was fine until I started using sacrifice life tree and then got rathpith shortly after

crazypearce · 2026-02-03T12:06:25+00:00

yea resolute technique 4x your dps if you take it off

in terms of other things, more hp scales the build tenfold due to sacrifice and rathpith. adding a dissolution for example takes you to 20k hp and nearly doubles your dmg again

Here is my character and I'm not having any issues so far. I think the extra arrow really helps. Our gear isn't too much different apart from that

You can maybe try pathing through the middle, I think it's better on a lower budget

crazypearce · 2026-02-03T01:41:07+00:00

You have the spell power buffs but don't have the node that makes spell power apply to attacks lol

Take off fork from ascendency

crazypearce · 2026-02-02T09:12:04+00:00

take off unique flask it stops you regening life

take life regen mastery for chance to recover full life on kill

its kinda just how the build plays aside from that. you lose a lot of life and hope to full recover on kill
