Anything with Dreeg in the name.

Read it as doing acid porn and was really confused for a second

haha, epic!

I want to marry the Iron Maiden!

Does the flat poison damage from Rat get applied to Dreeg's Evil Eye?

flat damage is only applied to abilities with weapon damage scaling

So that would be a yes, as blood burst has that. Right?

yep, its gonna be not quite as much since its only 15% at lvl 12 but its gonna affect it

Yes.

is the inquisitor seal work well end game?
200 Hp tank per hit don't seem so good on hard hitting boss

Alright, I guess Rat is worth taking then.

Yeah for a poison man it's worth it
Provides good devotions too

Fuck you and fuck your mother.

It works well in practise. Without it my point and shooty builds would not survive at all.

How do you do, fellow humans?

crucible worth it? about to buy it in a bit.

Do any of the third-party tools let you trade items between hc and sc?

Is it a good idea to side with the Outcast on Elite and then against them on ultimate?

It's a great source of devotion points whenever you make a new character, and it's a fairly reliable way to farm legendaries and recipes without having to scour the world for nemesises or troves. And, as an added bonus, you earn a metric ton of bits from it.

Siding against them really ever is only worth it if you need the unique aether head legendary which nemesis anasteria drops

alright. buying it then.

Per some recommendations I started a cabalist vit damage build, and it's retarded strong. Level 53 and I just cast bloody pox only 95% of the time, with the occasional siphon would and chaos bolt on big bosses. Against a lot of trash you don't even have to attack, windigos mark and that necro spell out dps most trash in the game. I almost feel bad because I level to 53 in like 5 hours yesterday which is the fastest I've ever leveled anything , just now getting to act 5.

Thoughts so far friends? Right now it's mostly smooth sailing finishing up elite malmouth but my boss and aetherial behemoth clear is fucking slow.

Attak Seru and Phoenix seems designed for a callidor's build, why's nobody using it?

This one is a bit better.

damage isnt that important late game

While I firmly believe that one-handed weaponry and shields are for effeminate men, I have so much of the shit piled up in storage now that I went and made a female soldier/demo that I plan to base around fire damage.
Is Overguard any good, and since Fire Strike and Cadence are mutually exclusive, which one should I go for?

Well they're taking Spear of the Heaven and Ulzuin's Torch instead, so that doesn't apply

What builds would want that, just so I know.

Where the fuck is your inquisitor seal?

How do I melee chaos/fire pyromancer?

share?

idk aether caster or something.
I personally never have sided against her after my very first playthrough. Having access to more augments to round out your resistances is always valuable

nice

Aether caster

Her dungeon is full of aetherial caster bosses and if you farm her often enough you should be able to farm most caster offhands off them

So like an AAR build I assume.

First time actually through the game, so how does that work? Do you side with her on one difficulty for her shit then against her on ultimate to farm her stuff?

I think if you fight with her on Ultimate she won't talk to you anymore on Ultimate. This is because your reputation will be negative and it's shared across all difficulties.

What you should do is farm her shit in Elite and side with her in Ultimate.

Probably against her on elite and once you have everything you want go back to friendly on ultimate.
As I said the augments are really valuable for every build

simplest build in the game almost
fire strike, black water cocktail, passives, dw pistols.

And I can get the highest version of her shit on elite? Thats convenient.

>dw pistols
A melee pyromancer with a sword n board

Overguard and Shield training are absolute must haves in a sword n board build.

How do I melee Reaper?

dw or 2h?

Planning to use Soulrend, so 2h I guess. (If that cheap ass bastard Alkamos finally drops it)

i did this grimtools.com/calc/mN4DpYyN
but for levelling i didn't use shadow strike but the skill from the MI scythe from alkamos since it give a similar ability. I did too many steps runs but i still don't have soulrend

Putting everything in Physiquie is better than cunning?
I imagined it would be the opposite for a Nightblade

Hello /gdg/

I'm gonna admit, I may have overedited my character a bit too much and gave myself more devotion points than what I should actually have. I want to rectify this but I'm not sure how. Is there a way to tell how much dev points I should have by now? Is looking at the world map and counting all the shrines there enough, or do I get dev points from outside the shrines as well?

I find it hard to stay within the confines of the seal while I'm in combat. Any tips?

You only put points in attributes other than physique if you need the stats to use an item, you get your real damage from other sources and having more health and DA from physique is always better

since my damage is mostly cold cunning won't boost it, i think it should be spirit that boost cold. but physique is too good for hp and DA and i never had any weapon that required more cunning

filthy cheater

Sure when I get home bud

Which resistance is more important bleeding or acid/poison.
Those two are the only ones that are low and I don't know if I should focus on one of them or both.

>cheats
>wants to un-cheat
you fucked it up, better reroll aids build

acid/poison cuz Malmouth is gonna shit in your mouth. bleeding is like something you run into every once in a while with a boss.

If you dont have decent bleed res you gonna get fucked by wendigos/cannibals in gloomwald/ugdenbog
If you dont have decent acid res you gonna get fucked by literally everything else in gloomwald/ugdenbog

Is a ranged (dw or shotgun) shaman viable?

Hold Shift while attacking

wtf where'd you get a shotgun from?

With a little work you could figure it out. In GDStash there is a list of devotion shrines by difficulty. You can also toggle them.

grimtools.com/calc/bVA4G3R2

How does this devotion set up look?

>not rebinding it to SPACE

Well, you know what I mean. 2H ranged.

I'm playing a Vindicator (Shaman/Inquisitor) using savagery with a rifle, I'm only level 27 and probably doing something wrong, but it feels fucking awful so far. I thought it would shine against bosses and whatnot but even single target damage is sub-par and groups of regular enemies takes me way too long to clear.

Go Primal Strike with the Transmute for leveling

thank me later

So I'm thinking something like grimtools.com/calc/O2GWM462 for a vitality build with good health.
What do you guys think.
It's very barebones since I don't have the energy to go through the potential good items.

weird. my 2h savagery vindicator has been a steamroll from level 1 veteran and start of ultimate.

I'm going to try that. What other mastery did you choose? How did you keep your survivability up?

>No points in Reaping Strike or Necrotic Edge
user what the hell are you doing?

How can I change mob density?

I was thinking about it but you convinced me and holy fuck it makes it playable. Thanks my man, Christmas is now saved.

Life Leech for early game, later (like 40-50) you will have capped resists and access to more survivability skills.

Look into some points in Wind Devils for the debuffs, Mogdogen's pact line (mostly the extra life boost), and wendigo totem for healing.

If you want to keep Inquisitor then avoid the ranged Proc skills (they don't work with Primal Strike) get deadly aim and Word of Renewal line (first and third in that line are strong and it has a 2H transmute for energy regen and reduced CD)

if he's not gonna be auto attacking, whats the point?

I saw a couple of builds with auto attack skills in both necro and nightblade but im not too sure about mixing both the abilities and auto attack triggered skills (unless you can attack in between CDR of bone harvest, etc.)

i may activate them later but since my main damage are shadow strike and bone harvest and between the i use ABB and ROS they won't be too useful. also i don't have many points left

Even with that what's the point of using Master of Death? Just for the offensive ability and resist?
Attack to HP and casting speed bonus from Harbinger of Souls looks a lot more viable compared to it

Trash mobs will barely hurt you, while large enemies and certain bosses will rip and tear right through the seal.

If you are going 2H make sure you get Kraken.

Something like Candle>Eel>Kraken>Ghoul>Toad for leveling

>Even with that what's the point of using Master of Death?
more DA and OA, I had harbinger+ revenant before. I may change back to harbinger but with the new devotion and skill setup i was able to kill the master of flesh in elite

das it

You guys got any suggestions for my first character, I've about level 40 and this is what I've got so far:

grimtools.com/calc/8NKQe88V

Skills that have 3 points in I only have 1 point in, ingame but for some reason the toll wouldn't let me do only 1.

git gud

He didn't directly mention Stormreaver but it has the same numbers.

>Play an Infiltrator dual gunner
>Lightning bolt stuns in Malmouth 24/7
If I had known I'd have to deal with this bullshit as a non-melee character, I never would've made one.

thank god I only need the recipe now

>not filtering magic items

I had alt pressed

I'd wager my skellies are infinitely stronger though.

You can get 12, as well.
