Btw, i saw you anwering that you dont intend to go transcance finaly, do you have any idea for defense replacement ?


And even with the nerf to max resistances of transcandance, in theory the elemental damage reduction when payiring with armour is insane so even with the minus max res it shouldnt realy impact much in the end. It like before it was way too tanky so we are going to absurt elemental tankyness to still overkill elemental tankyness lol (in theory)

i think its still worth it, and for phys, we have way to obtain phys recution, end charges first of, then we can have a bit on armour or so, or simply converting at least fairly reasonably with helmet and body mods for a total of 20% phys damage taken aselemental (fire in preference).

Th ebuild should be able to mitigate ~50-60% phys damage, and 20+% of phys as elemental

Hi! I switched over to a cluster setup (took some currency and a lot of respeccing). Do you have any tips on what I can change in order to get more dmg out of it? I'm still lacking crit chance and no idea how to get it higher without losing defence.

Hi, I haven't progress that far yet, but my current thought about the cluster set up is that we no longer need fuel the fight for mana leech, and cooked alive's fire penetration doesn't seem as good now.

I might go with overlord to gain fortify, so our skill link can use more damage support. I will put more thought into this in the mid-budget setup.

I'm melting red maps, sub-A8 conqs, and 150+ Scourge stacks. Haven't made the leap to crit yet, but Tectonic Slam has not felt like a microwaved noodle at all. Love this build

Why do we no longer need fuel the fight? Where do we get mana leech from, unless we stay in the duelist part of the tree, but that is a massive point cost?

Overlord is good, but expensive on a good cluster jewel (60c alone for the notable on a 8 link cluster)

Are you thinking about skipping medium clusters all together or is there something else to go for?

Im not completly set up on this build too, seems to me, that OP isnt fishing for clibbait, he is just trying to share his build.

That beeing said yes, few points seems a bit stretched and hard to believe, i pointed out a few things here and there and he was willing to correct them, so thats a good sign.


For what you are saying, his actual budget build is, the tide break isnt a 6L but a 6S 5L for totem which is one of the higher cost of the budget and is around 20-30c at league start, should be lower now.

You main 6L is the chest and you can go for any armour 6L chest, even if you filter with a bit of HP it happen to cost less than 30-20c pretty fast even at league start, and you can allways like just buy a simple 6L and then slam a essence of greed for a 100+hp base and go on.
Rest should be generic rare 1-5c each depending on whatr you want but res cap is easy to start with.


So yeah the build starter is actualy legit ~50c, it can carry to yellow map without muc much trouble, biggest is that due to slam and cry interaction, sometime damage varried a lots and can be hard to keep it consistant (im still trying to properly use warcry), and you dont get much defense outside or raw tankyness to take hits.

On the budget we dont have acces to any form of block or so we only have basic res cap and should be at full 90% phys damage reduction thanks to armour stacking +7 endurance charges.

So we basicaly rely on taking damage and regenerating while we use warcry and then proceed to vaporise the screen with one big fat slam.



For what i checked later on the tankyness should be quite nice as well as damage, but i have a hard time seeing build with multi billions of damage even tho i know its possible

Thanks a lot for answering the question man.

This build in end-game of course won't deal multi Billion damage lol, otherwise Chris would've killed this build already.

But even conservatively speaking, the character I used in expedition dealt around 30-50M DPS, this league should be even better with the new mastery.

Yeah you made a good point.

The only concern I had earlier is our character might be too vulnerable to phys damage if using transcendence. In end-game I will definitely experiment transcendence and maybe pick Tasalio ascendancy too.
