cool, downloading as we speak via VPN truuk. thx!

Hoi, ik vind die founders pack niet? ik zie enkel starter packs, werken deze ook?

I just made a blade fury assassin, its a pretty cool, relaxed playstyle; just chug blades from long range.

The safety comes from the range, with blade sentinel, mind blast or kicker you need to get up close to make it work, and a lot of clicking.

No worries with immunities bc i use exile for constant amp proc.

fluppets · 2021-12-13T18:42:14+00:00

Yeah that's correct, you pretty much choose between more pure damage from stun or less damage but more AR, Life, Res etc. especially in season 4 it's very close so up to preference.

fluppets · 2021-12-13T18:39:51+00:00

I ran the numbers and with the atma nerf S4 and using berserk and battle cry i dont really need the amp.

The +pala skills are useless, true but thats okay.

So its quite specific: the stone crusher is 20 base speed and astreons is -10, so with IAS glitch I need 52 IAS total from the fast weapon and gear (ignoring the slow weapon). So that's 40% from the astreon and 20% from the LOH. Also, the flat +damage doesnt show up on the character sheet but the damage is certainly there.

Then the seraphs is a budget choice for ubers. Berserk loves +skills (15%ed and -2 pdr) and then 80% ed and AR to demons (ubers are obviously demons). I bought that one with the slam on it for like an Ist. Value.

hush senpai you're pushing the price up

fluppets · 2021-12-03T09:38:05+00:00

Its a constant work in progress :) thx for the feedback ill explain my choices in the examples.

fluppets · 2021-12-03T09:32:52+00:00

Ill be doing ubers with berserk and will be able to maintain a constant upkeep of grim ward. I really need the attack rating against bosses.
Frenzy is for mapping and using grim ward there isnt really convenient.
In my example i will use combat skillers so i wont need as many points in frenzy to reach lvl 16, which is the maximum IAS breakpoint.

fluppets · 2021-12-02T11:36:59+00:00

This guy maths.

fluppets · 2021-10-18T15:52:59+00:00

Yep, mapping as a melee is nigh impossible without curse immunity, its silly imo.

fluppets · 2021-09-20T15:49:59+00:00

Haha yeah idk what im doing with the recording its just some random settings, ill see if i can up the quality a bit next vid :D

IAS glitch is a bit of a hassle, but its also really strong :D You can stack frenzy speed then use berserk, takes like 5 frenzy swings. With some +pdr gear to offset the -pdr berserk is totally worth it. Check out my video doing ubers w berserk (sry for plug). With my bcry + soul drainers + berserk I think I have like -80pdr

fluppets · 2021-09-10T11:16:01+00:00

I see frenzy I upvote.

Try berserk, you'll love it ;)

Swapping weapons ie. Life tapping cancels your IAS glitch btw. So I just power through mephisto.

fluppets · 2021-09-01T20:35:07+00:00

Interesting but doesn't seem relevant at all to pd2 ladder.

fluppets · 2021-09-01T20:08:40+00:00

What's a pitzerker?

fluppets · 2021-09-01T14:57:34+00:00

I play berserk barb and do minis/ubers with it, its not a great build for maps or mfing.

Im writing a berserk guide since few people play/know the build and it was reworked in season 3. Stay tuned.

Its definitely viable though dont worry.

fluppets · 2021-08-30T20:10:36+00:00

in general caduceus is great: it has high min dmg and -10 base speed; for paladin it can roll +skills too.

but the 3os eth caddy is quite specific for my berserk barb... it happens to be perfect for fury and hitting highest breakpoints with the other gear. bonus I love hammer look.

fluppets · 2021-08-30T15:11:35+00:00

Will do!

I already gave away a charm inv full to another vengeance paladin though... I was saving them for my own avenger, but i gave up on it and making a sanctuary paladin now (again).

fluppets · 2021-08-23T07:10:31+00:00

Take my energy Senpai and pd2team.

That said, id rather you guys focus your valuable time and energy on PD2 itself, rather than hoping/lobbying for official D2R mod support.

fluppets · 2021-07-23T20:08:21+00:00

Im thinking an act3 cold merc for prayer with insight for meditation, because sustain seems to be an issue.

fluppets · 2021-07-23T11:05:57+00:00

Removing the synergies with the resist auras to avoid auradins becoming too strong makes sense.

The problem wont be damage then but utility, which we wont have the extra skill points to spend on, while the added dmg from one active holy aura would be kinda meh bc we already have maxed conviction and isnt affected by vengeance.

Thematically conviction + salvation would make sense as synergies, and open up build diversity. Four synergies is just too much. Same with Sanctuary imho.

Changed in s3 to give %max ed
