I'm doing this build but feeling so squishy at 5k with a Kaom's Heart (3.8k with a Lightning Coil). Running tier 13 map ok but die a lot in tier 11 Excavation and Precinct. So I'm considering switching to Saranghaeyo's Pathfinder build hoping that the consistent flask charges will keep me healthy most of the time. But the DPS of this build is so rewarding, as you listed up to more than 130k (though I'm only capping at 80k dps at max Frenzy charges and flasks with a 5 link Opus and Signal Fire). Meanwhile, Saranghaeho's Pathfinder build is capped at 70k DPS only when done right. So I don't know if it's worth the switch. What's your input on the squishy thing and thought on switching to Pathfinder?	Posted by ahhauhhu#7272 on Apr 23, 2017, 3:00:39 PM Quote this Post

What's your input on the squishy thing and thought on switching to Pathfinder? It depends what gear was used for each scenario. You can easily have 200-300k dps with mirrored gear. I have 5.5k with a legacy coil. It is just a matter of gear optimization in your case. You'e going to have low health even with another version unless they literally went path of life nodes. Signal fire may not be the optimal choice with an opus but I have not ran the numbers. What you should do is compare the two builds side by side with identical of comparable gear cost.
