3.1 Updated - Pathfinder Crit BV - Dedicated Uber Lab Farmer - 375%+ Movement Speed

Btw, doing some wierd DP RF hidden potential slayer atm. Can function on 2 obliteration wands and all other blue gear, pretty sweet clearspeed and easily doing uberlab. I even did shaper on him. It is good starer for abyss, if slayer not gonna be dead after 3.1 and if hidden potential not gonna cost 5 ex first week

hidden potential is very expensive in first few weeks

Could I play this exact build as slayer with the same setup?

Yes, but you ain't gonna have that much movement speed and evasion. Also, it is going to be pain in ass to sustain flaks on the run

Now has 200 to 240% increased Evasion Rating (down from 240 to 380%). The movement speed bonus this item can provide has been capped at 100% for all versions.

Changes to evasion basetypes in The Fall of Oriath both pushed the evasion rating of this item too high, and took the movement speed this item granted to an extreme. We never intended for a single item to be able to provide so much movement speed. Over time as more movement speed and evasion became available this item has become unreasonable. The movement speed players were attaining was not something that the game was designed to handle. This cap is unlikely to affect average use of this item.

Well boys.The projected Movement speed in 3.1 will be about ~300% give or take a bit.

When the rest of the patch notes are out I'll revise the build.

MoM is also getting nerfed.... But I think you should stick with Pahtfinder due to the potion charge Regen...

200-300 is still more than OK. Im thinking about MOM. Maybe if the speed from qop is capped, we can now Hatred and another aura for more damage and focus more on life instead of EVA.

I'm not not very worried about that nerf actually. It should bring MoM to an appropriate level that still works well for us.

As far as I can see, the build won't change much at all. The main difference is you'll be able to run about twice as much damage while still capping out your movement speed gain from queen of the forest.

I thought this was a good idea at first also. But the reason we need to much evasion is so we can face tank everything in the game reliably. If you start to drop evasion because you think you're being efficient with QOTF scaling, you're going to run into survivability issues on some harder end-game bosses.

If you take a look at my pastebin for Boss Killing (https://pastebin.com/9FXypLe9) You'll notice I'm not abusing QOTF at all. This is likely going to be similar to the revised version for 3.1.

Tons of damage. Lots more EHP. Maybe even room for Arctic Armour depending on MoM nerf.
Also still runs faster than you can kill stuff (while mapping).

Overall, I think the nerf was completely necessary and I really like the direction GGG is heading this league.
We just need to see, now, if Brightbeak / Prismatic Eclipse combo is going to be better than running with QOTF.
When the patch is live I'll test it ASAP.

Do you still think this build will be better (at least faster maybe not safer) than the slayer version after the recent changes to QotF and other 3.1 changes ?

So, this is something I'm going to test as soon as I can. I'll be "racing" my friend who will have a very strong leap slam setup in a pair of insanity gloves. He'll have brightbeak & prismatic eclipse also.

The test will be to see who makes it to the other side of "The Ledge" fastest. Obviously this is not an optimal test to simulate a lab run. But it will likely give enough information for me to make a decision.

As to what build is takier or does more damage... I can say that the BV character will remain JUST as strong as it is now. All that's going to happen is the movement speed is going to be cut in half essentially.

Actually the BV character will likely gain a large amount of damage when built efficiently and with the right flasks. Check my path of building pastebin for bosses/ guardians in the build guide. That's likely what the revised version will look like IF there are no more significant nerfs.
