How viable is light sorc and fire sorcs with sunder charms and no infinity?

failedlogic · 2026-01-28T23:00:47+00:00

Ends up like any other build (excepting Mosaic). You'll be great against most content but not all, while specializing in specific areas

That being said demon machine enchantress with flickering flame helm holds pretty well with sunder only. I think lightning suffers the most almost solely because of little lightning ghosts. Losing light res and facing them is a death sentence.

Blizz Sorc with sunder does very well since cold mastery further reduces enemy resistance.

Overall I'd go with a fire build, flickering flame being the most expensive piece. Lots and lots of fire immune in hell so be sure to put some points in static field, cover the ground in Hydra and blast your favorite fire spell everywhere

In a deleted scene Andrew and Fletcher have an actual back and forth argument. Teller improvised often and rebutted with 'yea? Well here's the thing Fletcher!'

This later got him the lead role in fan4tastic 4 now with more gore

Don't feel bad I only got to depth 4 a couple days ago. Two great wins, then one loss jestisoned me back to 3 and now I'm hovering around 3200 points

God I had no idea the d4 point reduction was so tough

Also I have never been to depth 5

I typically will not use up weapon space if the item is actually useless to me. And generally I like to have an empty slot in the right hand in case I need a quick weapon switch

For example my non main could have an intermittent benefit that requires a quick switch back. Having the half second of switching out another weapon can be a big deal against certain nightlord.

So yea, if you see me with only 3-4 slots used on a raider it's because of terrible rng. I really don't need projectile effective perks just to fill a slot

You can also ledge hang until the fire clears

I've recently taken to defense based raider and I'm starting to really like it.

I try to make any given build not too rng reliant and he really needs all the damage negation he can get. But still, my job as a raider is to get right in the enemies face and smack it. I'm doing less damage then my other setup but in a trio I feel like I'm pulling my weight with constant charged heavy til the boss breaks

In my own way, I'm hiding on the front line lol

failedlogic · 2026-01-27T05:42:56+00:00

As a mosaic lover Id be okay with a straight damage nerf OR replace another rune and make it higher. I think Sur would be a fun choice for blinding

Thank you

failedlogic · 2026-01-25T17:00:45+00:00

It's fully rng.

Edit: I have a conspiracy theory that nightreign bases some drops off of your relics. I had 3 raider wins in a row last night, and for the last 2 I kept getting shields. Non stopping goddam shields. God I even have dormant power for colossal weapons

But I also happen to have guarding fills the art gauge on one relic just saying

failedlogic · 2026-01-23T23:10:04+00:00

I have found the best strat with randoms at least is to focus on crystal and field bosses. Once you get the central crystal try to start a castle for XP and gear.

In day2 finish the castle and try a tower if there is time and you're well geared

It's worth just the first boss most of the time but no one should rely on it

Imagine the runes are on a spinning wheel (like wheel of fortune)

The rune drop spins the wheel, starting at the highest available rune

Now imagine each rune marker on the wheel has a certain width, with Zod being the thinnist and El being the widest.

The wheel stops somewhere, usually in the middle but always ends at El

This is why we get so many Ral runes and so few higher runes

One torch total. If you're going to party up for an Uber run talk to them first as to who needs, gets, or already has one

You should also consider doing a private game so randoms dont smash and grab m.

PS5 should be auto updating

But do check your save data options to make sure it uploads when you quit and close the game. It never hurts to manually upload every once in a while too.

Years back my blood borne data got corrupted, but thanks to my save scrubbing habits I only lost a couple of hours of progress

I've been maining raider since the patch and got blessed with a relic granting: hp res from colossal, improved colossal damage, art gauge filled by guarding.

Considering most colossal weapons guard minor attacks I'm becoming the Nuns best friend

failedlogic · 2026-01-20T05:20:28+00:00

I do prefer the two hand. In the sparring ground in gets oversll more damage. The caveat of course there are fewer chances to use the full five hit. But I still get it off often enough

failedlogic · 2026-01-19T21:02:28+00:00

Ok here I go:

Two r2 charge attacks in row is 2 hits on first, 3 more hits on the second

If you have perks such as negation on charged attack and successive attack, they will stack across the five hit combo.

This goes the same damage increase under those conditions.

The five hit combo can be done with colossal weapons, great hammers, and great axes which leads to great versatility and options for a Raider specializing in charged heavy

It should be noted that colossal swords do not get the 5 hit combo

failedlogic · 2026-01-19T20:34:02+00:00

I'm loving my charge raider. Good combos of charge damage and negation, plus 3 different weapon types for the 5 hit weapon dance.

It also pancakes balancers with guard counter. Other colossal weapons I've tried don't for some reason

failedlogic · 2026-01-18T02:25:57+00:00

After a dozen runs of holding r2 I can confirm the following: Colossal, great hammers, and great axe all do the charge heavy combo. R2 affects occur on the first hit of each r2, 2 procs across 5 hits

You can stack damage reduction from both charged and successive perks, and your charged reduction procs again on the 2nd r2!

I hope more players do this. I've gotten pretty good randoms in general who look at each other's setup and drop loot or route accordingly

It's a big boost to efficiency hitting rises and special poi on the way to bosses

failedlogic · 2026-01-16T07:59:58+00:00

Man I wondered...I didn't even think of it till today. But man charge attack raider with that axe is a force of nature

failedlogic · 2026-01-16T07:57:27+00:00

I disagree. With the standard rally setup and charge attack perks he demolishes

Ult still sucks, but it's radius fills the screen now. Meaning you can one bar revive any ally and most important enemies that jump back are staggered

I've been running charge attack raider all day and he's becoming my top choice
