[3.11] Shaper = Stunned, Tidebreaker Heavy Strike Stunner Build
" There are cards for Tidebreakers that you can target farm, but to be honest it doesn't seem very realistic. So I think to play this build in SSF, you should expect to play without a Tidebreaker. I don't think it's too devastating, but considering difficulties in getting all the optional but useful uniques, a SSF build could be quite a lot weaker than a trade league build. You would still be able to stun regular map bosses, but the end game could be very challenging I think. |

Crit tidebreaker zerk variant.
Shaper perma stunned quite easily. Huge spikes in damage makes the gameplay quite fun. https://youtu.be/Kzhxxv93e4g Last edited by Haadd#5888 on Jun 3, 2020, 12:44:07 PM

Sirus A8 easily done by crit variant. not 100% stunned, but pretty safe by my standards. I feel that if I switch Overlord and Weight Advantage for Battlefield dominator and heavy hitter (and maybe switch Kaom's for Red Tramplers) 100% Sirus stun will be easily done, but a little overkill if you ask me, since the damage is fine enough to keep the run pretty smooth. If they nerf Warning Call to the ground I'd easily suggest going the other crit clusters. Skullbreaker, Pressure Points and Basics of Pain would be a really good option, but until then Warning Call is BiS. I'm definitely doing this crit variant the next league. |

It surely is difficult to find someone selling a large cluster with feed the fury. Guess it might be because the league is nearly over and people just dropped the game already.
PS: I did notice the build lacks DEX for blood rage, so it is something worth pointing out for those trying the build. I did manage to cover up the lack of dexterity with my ring and extra dex from jewels. Last edited by Praef#6358 on Jun 8, 2020, 6:56:08 AM

Anyone have a video using an explore chest on slayer? I feel like just slayer aoe + explode chest will be really good clear?

" Found it. This video needs to go on the front page, lol. |

" If you're wondering why it's not included in the guide: I wasn't so convinced on not using Kaom's Heart and I still think this is one of the more niche choices. But it is definitely quite impressively strong, nothing wrong with the explosive chest idea. And if you're wondering why, given what I said, I am still not putting it up in the guide: I expect some big changes to this build in the upcoming patch, and thus I will be waiting for the patch notes to make any updates to this build and the guide. |

Do you think EQ will be able to do reliable stun without tidebreaker? without knowing 2h changes yet ofc ^^ planning on using mace for the 6l div card in arsenal. eventually tidebreaker if it beats the dps ^^

Good news, SOMEHOW in the end of the league I managed to get my hands on those perfect cluster jewels-feed the fury included. I honestly thought overlord+heavy hitter+feed the fury was a myth on this league as I couldn't find it being sold even offline.
Without doubt that is going to be one heck of a DPS boost with feed the fury providing more attack speed and damage. Last edited by Praef#6358 on Jun 10, 2020, 5:32:45 AM

" First of all, a rare mace is very unlikely to beat Tidebreaker when it comes to stunning mobs. So by not using Tidebreaker, you are likely losing out on your stun capability. And then EQ relies heavily on the aftershock. On the one hand the aftershock deals quite a lot of damage, but at the same time the time interval between aftershocks is a bit too long. We have a high variation in damage due to high max/min damage interval, chance of double damage and Ruthless triggers, it's close to impossible to guarantee that you stun with your aftershock, and it's close to impossible to stack enough stun duration to cover more than 1 intervals of aftershock. So, yes, EQ can stun enemies, but it's not ideal to stun-lock enemies with EQ at all. |
