Gonna make a Drain Essence character. What's a good second class? Shaman seems straightforward enough but it only offers 2 things I want - health and and Devouring Swarm. Arcanist seems to give a lot - Mirror, regen, cast speed and perhaps Devastation but ... is it even worth losing -60% vitality res reduction?
Dominic Gomez
probably arcanist, with more casting speed you can get more hp back and you can still have aether reduction with devotion
Oliver Gray
Where to get gd figurines?
Thomas Campbell
Recently reached Barrowholm and I feel like I'm underleveled, most enemies are 5-7 levels above me. What's the best way to grind some xp? Bounties maybe?
Jayden Johnson
You'll always be underleveled; that's just how the game is. When you're level 100 most enemies will be at 105~110
Jordan Hernandez
I don't really see it working with Arcanist. I think either Shaman or maybe Occultist is a good choice. WIth Shaman you could use the Valguur Set which will give you access to some rare -% Life Leech Resistance which will be invaluable in making the Life Leech actually useful against bosses. Occultist also offers some Resist Reduction and Abyssal Mask seems to be a good choice which will reduce the Energy Cost of Drain Essence and give you some more Resistance Reduction through Bloody Pox. Arcanist could maybe work by converting the Vitality Damage to Aether with Hex Launcher and/or Fleshwarped Tome and then getting a Conduit of Arcane Whispers that gives -% Aether Resistance to OFF, but I don't really see the gear complementing the build that well.
Liam Richardson
They just made this one for one of the devs. You can't buy any.
Jacob Reyes
grimtools.com/calc/dVbK9pOZ Might as well repost this Battlemage version for user. Arcanist is pretty good, keep in mind you can chain mirror with mark of torment, but from what I heard Drain Essence is quite dependant on mythics for its damage, luckily Hex Launcher blueprint is buyable from Coven and Uroburuuk's hat is craftable.
Carter Adams
how does a pet build compare to other games in the same genre?
Nicholas White
arcanist probably. hex lawnchair is craftable from coven. theres a blue chest that converts vit to aether, so you can pump aether dmg which is great for arcanist. shaman is ok too but converting aether to vit is harder
Hudson Gomez
don't die general. not yet
Jace Fisher
reposting from other thread, how do I make a savagery lightning dual wield trickster not a squish ball> Turtle? Behemoth? Wendigo totem?
John Barnes
why not bleeding instead of lightning? turtle is good at the start but by level 30-40 you won't even see the bubble anymore. pick behemot or chariot since they are better and give you healing
Carter Barnes
Physical meteor shower is very powerful
Jordan Green
Wendigo+loads of DA, I guess. Maybe get a Haunted Steel, there's elemental daggers from two Coven bosses, you can try to get respectable dagger and use that with steel, since you won't need conversion.
Josiah Gomez
while I probably would take bleed buffs like fox or falcon just because nightblade has a lot of bleed I REALLY want Ultos
Owen Nguyen
Another option is cold savagery if you get Korba set helm (70% lightning on savagery converted to cold). Also, stick to one damage type, it'll be better in the end.
Logan Mitchell
So, Daila and Dravis' father is Uroboruuk, right?
I haven't finished the AoM portion of their quest, but it seems pretty unlikely that there are TWO ultra powerful wizards that have lived for thousands of years and are loathed by the Arkovians.
Thomas Mitchell
you cold go soldier and pick only the defensive skills, demo to boost lightning or maybe arcanist and use the relic that enables dw
Anthony Bennett
turtle is actually pretty good for da and hp giving you 50da and 5% hp
Juan Baker
>Bleed Trickster lol This is the only solid advice. Take the Korba's Set if you want to play a Trickster. Nightblade is better if you deal Cold/Piercing/Acid Damage.
Anthony White
Patch when
Jackson Clark
does the slower enemy attack speed from zolhan's technique and spectral wrath stack? would it be the same with the reduced enemy damage from war cry and olerons blood?
Thomas Allen
well if I'm going to be auto-ing with savagery wouldn't it make sense to buff bleed/lightning? this cold conversion set sounds cool but obviously I won't have it for a bit
Brayden Taylor
yes and yes
Luis Peterson
Oh, there's also Myth Brutallax with 100% lightning to pierce conversion on savagery. >Shaman is better if you deal Bleed/Vit damage Bleeding Trickster problem is that Warder and rager set exist. The hat is enough to get conversion, still depends on it. Also, savagery has a sizeable weapon percentage (further amplified by charge level), so just because it deals bleed/lightning, doesn't mean you can't use it for weapon damage.
Nathan Parker
The damage still scales mostly off your weapon damage at least when you're a few level higher. Ignore the Bleeding component entirely. Just level with weapons and components with cold conversion and take gear that either boosts cold damage or elemental damage in general to also boost that bit of lightning damage that you deal. Savagery is not a good skill to level anyway. I would recommend leveling with Amarasta's Blade Burst and using Savagery and the weapon procs to complement it. ABB is still useful later for the buff. You want both Wind Devils and Night's Chill to reduce the enemies' Cold Resistance. Yeah. and? Nightblade does pretty much nothing for Bleeding Damage. He would be better off just playing a Warder or Conjurer then.

How do you get that other you quest from the coven? I'm honored with them, but no dice.
Caleb Turner

Luke Green
What about that qt you rescue from fringes of sanity?
Christian Richardson
Where does she go; I never checked afterwards
William Myers

Nolan Williams
I don't know either ;_;

Ayden Morgan
>300 hours ingame and just find out I can use a component AND and augment on the same piece of gear This makes things a hundred times easier
Jose Cook
does bleed warder use Blade Arc ? I have a sword / shield lightning warder that I got bored with, and I found a pretty great epic 2h for blade arc so I might respec.
also what dmg type does blademaster usually focuses on ? bleed, pure physical ?
I might either make one or continue with my respec'd warder, but I just hate using cadence for everything. I know how good it is but its still the most boring skill in the game imho.
Cooper Cox
Yeah, stack damage with savagery then use blade arc with the transmuter. You'll need feral hunger too and probably Rend in the devotions.
Jackson Lee
...
Eli Bennett
oh my god
Levi Sullivan
I want to fuck that sacc of meat
Wyatt Roberts
I wonder if that scrotum is squishy, I just want to squeeze it but just as a joke haha
Daniel Powell
anyone using item assistant. most of my items are listed under 'unknown item' , if i do the auto-update on fresh install the app crashes when i click on the database/mods tab because it can't find the /config/config.vdf file. at a loss here. also is there a list of what items nemesis mobs use, fabius in particular
Jonathan Morris
Do you have the DLC
Carson Brown
i do, aom and crucible
Dylan Barnes
I want to do a cold build, do I do nightblade/necromancer or arcanist/inquisitor?
Jeremiah Russell
Why not soldier/necro
Chase Jackson
reaper is better
Anthony Torres
because necro has little raw cold damage or boost and soldier has literally none other than an elemental conversion for cadence
there is also some legendary set for cold ignaffar so you can go nightblade inquisitor, if you don't have it reaper is good too
Charles Foster
Druid
Jaxson Russell
ugh, even arcanist/inquisitor has better cold synergy
Adam Brown
Because there doesn't seem enough cold damage to satisfy my lust for it and I've played soldier a bunch, but not any of those other classes. Got it, guess I'll play something with nightblade.
Ian Watson
lol, nigger have you even tried a cold ss spellbreaker? cause it really sounds like you haven't and you're just looking at grimtools to measure how good class combos work
Joseph Gutierrez
Speaking of this, how is a Mage Hunter cold build?
Grabbing Flash Freeze, Sky Shard, Rune of Hagarrad, and maybe some Iskandra's and the cold proc from inquisitor sounds like some dank elemental synergy on paper, but I don't know, is that going too all in on cold?
Anthony Morgan
>ss yep it sucks
Jace Reed
>i have no idea what i'm talking about kk cool user ;)
Brayden Johnson
>it's a retard-outs-himself episode oh sweetie
John Brown
all the build vids ive seen are shit
John Miller
How do I go about filling out this constellation tree, in which order do I go? I can't seem to figure it out (not my own build). Do I have to take any temporary passives and if so which?
i'm not sure what you're on about. What exactly is the problem you're having?
Bentley Ortiz
Don't worry user took me 50 hours to figure that out, I felt blessed and retarded at the same time.
Jacob Torres
I can't seem to get to Kraken without getting a useless temporary like Imp and I can't remove it before I've filled out Behemoth. I was wondering if there is a better way to do it.
Jackson Allen
fill out oleron last? you just need imp as a filler to fill out both behemoth and kraken, once they're filled out just remove the points from imp and put them in oleron again
Robert Turner
Right. I was hoping to switch out Manticore for Chariot but it seems I'm short one point of filling out Oleron, since I need to get a yellow crossroad to enable it...
Elijah Brown
don't need to fill out chariot fully, just ignore the 16% vitality res node on it
Mason Ward
how many secret quest are in the game? Is there a list somewhere? I alredy know about some but i wanted to check if i missed any
Lucas Lewis
If I have flat elemental damage and say 10% cold, will the 1/3 of the flat elemental damage that's cold be buffed by 10%?
Blake Cooper
Anything possible with Nightblade/Inquistor? Last 2 classes I haven't touched
Elijah Wilson
>be cabalist I don't need this much vit res ffs game
Brayden Campbell
yes the cold part of the elemental damage will be buffed by cold buffs
William Gomez
Yeah I think I have it figured out. Not the smoothest path to the endresult but it'll have to do
Tyler Taylor
I'm the krieg user from last thread, came up with this grimtools.com/calc/1NX7lqWZ also, while I don't exactly know battlemage well, I know soldier, and just as a suggestion, I would drop points out of Menhir's Will and Fighting Spirit, Fighting Spirit doesn't scale that well to justify dumping that many points. Use those points to fill out Field Command and Squad Tactics, you'll likely see a damage and survivability increase if you do this: grimtools.com/calc/DV95nGjV
Christopher Moore
is soldier+nightblade decent ? I realize the damage will be there but how is survivability? I want to be an edgemaster without going necro.
James Cox
Mageslayer Set supports Nightblade/Inquisitor/Arcanist, but I would probably just pick the Amulet for that particular combination and make an Elemental Build around it if you don't like the skills that get boosted by the rest of the Set. Anything focussing on Pierce or Elemental (Cold) Damage should work well as they both have Resistance Reduction for it.
Joshua Hughes
>how is the survivability on a class with soldier Shit user, I don't know, how IS it?
Juan Bell
I put 1 pt into all of your skill survivability options, not counting gear or devotions: grimtools.com/calc/62azvoXV
I gave him options, didn't say that he had to take him.
Samuel Thompson
This is pretty neat, thanks
Samuel Cruz
I wanted to chime in on that discussion I saw with the Krieg set in the last thread, but I wasn't home and someone must have shitposted hard on my phone's network because it's IP banned from Veeky Forums.
This is what I use to farm Gladiator Crucible. I still need mythical upgrades for Band of the Eternal Haunt and Peerless Eye but it's functional without them. I don't really think Cadence is worth it when the skill mods on the Krieg set give so much to Blitz. What you essentially have is a playstyle similar to a SS Spellbreaker that does less damage in exchange for being effectively immortal with hilarious uptime on Overguard/Mirror.
Camden Phillips
Veterency is... technically survivability. You could probably legitimately go shield and full tank on soldier/nightblade.
Michael Wilson
Don't really know what to do with the devotions on this one, help would be appreciated. grimtools.com/calc/nZoWXYoZ
Jack Taylor
veterancy is shit, and we both know it. I personally like Cadence, just a personal preference, and I think it's worth it to activate the procs I have on my various pieces of gear like Aether Smash, Annhiliation, Cleaving Axe, etc. Not to mention I'm getting a total of 48% Phys to Aether conversion from the Mindwarp and Will of the Living. Plus Deadly Momentum affecting everything and getting converted to Aether is really nice too.
Hunter White
first thing I noticed, you're going to be squishy as shit, you're gonna get gear bonuses to boost some of those skills anyways, so you need to fill out that mastery bar on NB
Tyler Cooper
time dilation on war cry works for you? i personally want war cry up as much as possible and that would kinda screw with chaining mirror and overguard since you want time dilation to activate after you've used them. i have mine bound to kriegs wrath instead on my DK
Jason Thompson
What is the patrician skill to bind to time dilation?
Gavin Green
cadence ;)
Jack Reyes
I'm thinking of making a 2H ranged Commando. Do Blast Shield + Menhir's Will make a good pair of circuit breakers? Any other tips for survivability?
Samuel Campbell
Doom Bolt or Storm Totem
Cameron Sanders
I use Krieg's Wrath far more than War Cry since it has %weapon damage and therefore is great for sustain with ADCtH in large packs (i.e. Crucible). For large packs of heroes/threatening bosses I'll be casting War Cry anyway to double-cast Blitz/Krieg's Wrath so it all works out.
Jaxon Nguyen
Is a 2h melee physical build viable? I just want to be a big dude smacking people with a sword.
That or a DW bleed build
Oliver Martinez
weapon switch and 1 point in blitz could get you out of trouble fast, maybe
