[3.18 suspended] Blast from the Past. KB/PS Int Stack Wander King. Speed meta 18K ES, 20m+ dps

Thank you for the reply Trivial!

I ended up rolling assassin and clear speed feels amazing with 5L KB but the single target with PS just feels god awful. (Maybe the 6L needs to be PS for single target?) I thought that it would outperform on bossing than my TR starter but so far that has not been the case. The fortify on shield charge and other mechanics feel a bit clunky. Not to mention that I consistently die to a ton of random stuff/one-shotted.

I'm gonna give this build a few more days to try and fine-tune some things but maybe the build isn't for me. Perhaps I'm missing something critical to the build, let me know if you see something that looks off or might make a big difference in my build. Any bit helps. Thanks!

I had similar issues to you, it gets easier and easier the more ES/INT you have, for the purpose of leveling I would consider swapping a few gems around, I went with putting the curse on the CWDT setup (thus freeing up reservation), added CWDT Immortal Call and Flesh and Stone, took me from dying every 2 or so maps to 2 deaths in 20 maps. DPS wise I would probably go with a higher link on PS than KB, though a 5 link certainly hurts. Also your shield is kinda mediocre, you can get a shield with like 80% more ES (and same stats otherwise) for 40c.

E: @trivialMatters (or whoever understands the build properly), if I have awakened fork do I still want the alt-quality KB?

to all my fellow wanders

From today and onwards, i will start levelling the wander on heist and gearing it as i go. Feel free to drop by twitch to check me do it and ask your questions.

Once i have the opportunity to test practical applications (i have some interesting ideas), there will be a big update to the guide with all my findings (best clusters, alt qualities, good syth bases etc.) for each version, along with a video guide for the build.

Are u going assassin or scion?

I got the luck of the league out. My friend is telling me I should open a mirror service...

Anyways I started as shadow with 900 int and am now at 1700 int, still missing the shield and boots and a better pair of gloves. having great fun with this build, thanks

sleepy responses to everyone:

@R3clamation: it is normal to have low single target at your gear level, (it would be a better idea if u have skipped the helmet enchant for overall better gear). as ppl mentioned a 6L PS will help with bossing atm.

@Kingtichat: i am going assassin, i have a scion already levelled for spellslinger build if i need to test that version.

@stnikolauswagne: If u have a.fork skip alt quality. Sniper's mark is indeed very good (will be included in the updated guide).

@ovrlrd: that one is a very nice armor, and dunno if its worth mirroring for any other build.
Sadly for int stack wander, benefit of explosions is minimal (its much better on a build with less clear capability).

Thanks for the amazing experience i've had with this build, Trivial! First time playing int wander and it's such a blast! Shame that didn't have opportunity to do so in Harvest.
Currently stucked upon dying preety often despite OK damage and ES. Running low on currency so need advice on what upgrade to prioritize next

Hi,

Just started playing this build but I cant seem to figure out how to get some mana leech or something, how do you sustain your mana?

Thanks for the help guys! I six linked my chest and now it seems like things are getting better. I can see that there is a lot more potential for this build and the real minmaxing starts now. I hope I can hit 10k ES soon :)
