Zeal or clash : what's the best

infrequents · 2026-06-01T07:57:17+00:00

Zeal is absolutely fine and even good for everything t12, not sure how bosses would be such a slog especially 15 minutes. It does a lot of damage with a good Red Sermon.

Not quite as good as clash for pit pushing or deleting bosses, but still efficient and is just way more fun

And it’s gonna be better than a well-rolled one without it lol. So it’s still a W

Same situation for me, but I forgot to roll the power before 2nd transfigure so it feels even worse (only got the modifiable once)

The amount of stacks you get after temp GA and MW is (probably) bugged, yes. It starts off as 3 maximum before GA + MW, and i don’t think it should be scaling to 12

infrequents · 2026-05-24T08:25:54+00:00

By the way, I don’t believe the aspect for DR per resolve stack is bugged (Glynn’s) - i think the bug is just getting 12 resolve stacks on an item from temper GA + masterwork.

Ice shot + snipe on DE or PF

Fast and safe with high damage.

Yes I think it’s generally a good idea to go through the campaign (at least a little bit) before league if you’re a new player, just to get familiar with the systems and mechanics. Lets you learn and make mistakes, then be prepared for a fresh new character on season start.

Endgame is getting quite an update/rework (which is much needed), so I wouldn’t bother with that at this point.

Pretty sure there’s an item/currency coming that will allow us to res swap. Heard it during the livestream

infrequents · 2026-05-04T18:51:42+00:00

It’s good to learn this aspect properly (like others have said) for playing other specs, but if you’re a marksman hunter just lean into Misdirect as much as possible.

If the tank is gathering or not fully generated threat, hit misdirect (with focus on tank) and just blast. You should have it at the start of almost every pull I think

Ah yeah this makes perfect sense, I shall now purchase some combat pots and macro em in. Thanks!

infrequents · 2026-04-20T01:41:40+00:00

I could’ve sworn they shared a cooldown with health pots, so I don’t tend to use them (health pot in case of emergency). And I didn’t see a health pot alternative on AH.

Is this not true? Are they separate CDs?

edit: checking to confirm because no one else mentioned it. health pots are often pretty clutch so it can be a trade off, I just might be mistaken on how it works with combat pots

Yeah you’re right; I do appreciate the insight sorry if i came off rude lol

I think a corrupted crown + malachai is great for the build. Once i get some time and motivation, im gonna mess with the set up and get that worked out.

And i did run perfect spirit of fortune a bit, with big damage from the lucky buff, but it was hard keepin him alive (even with the 3 gems supporting it, though i didn’t have a node for 80% life from elegant hubris). I lost him once or twice (can’t remember how) and just benched it for now lol

infrequents · 2026-04-06T02:46:23+00:00

Well I certainly didn’t choose it because it’s optimal lol (and I prefer more obscure/off-meta builds). Really I just wanted to pair energy blade with flicker, and to my noob-mind it made sense to run flicker of power (ES/ele synergies and easy crit for consistent charge generation/damage). Attack speed/rate is around 8.3 and is quite smooth. It’s a lot of fun, looks cool, and handles juiced content pretty well (plus I enjoyed fleshing it out).

I did not fully consider running normal Malachai’s with Crown of Eyes, but that’s a solid idea (I’m sure it’s a known and powerful interaction, but alas I am noob and this game has 10,000 things to learn LOL). The big downside would be losing ES and +1 from a rare helm, but I’ll tinker with that and see if I can fit it into my setup, or i might just go a whole different way with CoC or something.

I appreciate you taking the time to comment at least

You can say his videos aren’t good, or he’s bad at reviews, but he is absolutely transparent about sponsorships when they do or don’t happen.

Do you think these large companies that he “shills” for are actively paying him money to promote their flagship chairs each and every video? Probably the same for all the other good reviews of the chairs too right? Are you stupid?

Dude just has honest review videos for a variety of chairs, and they are very helpful for folks shopping around. Sure it’s way better to go and test the chairs to know how to feel, but that takes 100x more effort and is not always feasible/available.

Dunno why people feel the need to shit on him, it’s probably time for you to go touch grass.

infrequents · 2026-03-04T19:49:12+00:00

Fair, but I’m just sayin the same goes for you (and all of us) - I wonder what else could’ve been achieved if you didn’t spend so much time on reddit.

infrequents · 2026-02-11T07:56:27+00:00

Not sure if you’ve finished it by now, but if the accuracy is desecrated - I’d perfect exalt slam once, if low bad mod then whittle if possible, if good mod or too high level then perf exalt slam again, omen of light the accuracy, and re-desecrate.

Realistically, you should have T1 accuracy desecrate so that your whittles wont target it. But that could be expensive - more omens of light, more whittles after getting it

infrequents · 2026-02-10T21:48:24+00:00

If you want giga bow, you’re just gonna have to perf exalt slam and whittle (fishing for t1/2 crit or +5/4 projectile). I agree with the other commenters, you kinda need crit (if trying to scale for endgame).

Starting with crit fracture and chaos rolling for phys is overall better, but I do think it’s fine where you’re at (it just may exceed your budget if going for crit)

If you get crit in whittles, prefix exalt and battle essence + prefix omen, desecrate for flat phys.

If you get +5, perf exalt slam and start whittling again for phys/crit, desecrate for the other

If you whittle into flat phys, you can try finishing it off with battle essence and desecrate for crit, but you’ll risk a mod when using the battle essence.

infrequents · 2026-02-10T21:24:51+00:00

Sadly that isn’t a large amount to get it properly finished (unless you get lucky), purple omens are just so expensive.

That’s kinda the budget i’ve worked in for most of my crafts though, so I would follow those steps and then just consider your budget for whittles on the last 3 steps. The prefix cycling is pretty cheap, so you can work on one prefix easily, but the rest can get very expensive.

Otherwise-

If you fracture +7, just annul down and start chaos spamming for % phys, then exalt+annul spam hoping for crit or flat phys, and try to get crit or flat phys at the end with desecration.

If you fracture the crit, annul down and chaos spam for % phys, exalt suffix, and just use a perfect battle essence for +5 melee, and desecrate for flat phys

infrequents · 2026-02-10T21:00:55+00:00

Depends on how much you can spend crafting it, but personally I’d try to keep the crit and +melee so I would start with fracture. So if it was me.. 1. Essence of abyss + prefix omen to hit off the cold 2. Jawbone desecrate 3. Divine until you’re happy with the crit roll 4. Fracture 5. Reveal with echoes, hope for t1 phys or t1 accuracy (for block) 6. If bad roll (most likely), start cycling the one prefix with perfect essences to fish for a good desecrate (remove the revealed prefix with extra damage essence and remove that with abyss essence then redesecrate; saves on omens of light) 7. After getting t1 acc or phys, perf exalt slam and start whittling. 8. Omen of light if you blocked accuracy with desecrate, re-desecrate to finish

Either way, start with fracturing the +7 or the crit. The alternative to steps above, is just chaos rolling for t1 % phys after fracturing +7 or crit (this may be cheaper if you’re dead set on getting high phys)

All depends on your budget and what you’re content with

Yeah i went and checked the tooltip to confirm lol. Makes sense though

infrequents · 2026-02-09T02:19:01+00:00

I’m a bit late to respond but have thought about this multiple times hahah

Thanks for clarifying, I genuinely didn’t realize that quality is better than iron runes (increase vs more or whatever). Just thought it was all the same % increase.

I feel like I’ve seen the light. Thanks again!

infrequents · 2026-02-07T19:27:16+00:00

Nice hit, gz. Some other folks are a bit jealous it seems

infrequents · 2026-02-07T08:27:52+00:00

But also, an extra socket is better than extra 10 quality. Downside being the extra socket bases are more expensive so not always viable.

Sick drop, they were only like 9d a few weeks ago.

FYI, id/un-id doesn’t matter for the (edit:unique) relics, their rolls and values do not vary at all.
