[3.13] Lancing Steel Deadeye/Raider | Very Fun Playstyle | 4-50M DPS Easy Gearing Path
|
Just logged out to say that I don't know what multiple people are talking about, saying this is under-powered. I absolutely WRECK maps and bosses as a Raider. The Elderslayers don't even have a chance. Raider's definitely the way to go, I practically never get hit. And in the off-chance I do, I leech 4,500 on-hit.
Also, I didn't even know 9 Frenzy charges was possible, much less easily attainable. But once you've got all 9 (which is every pack), the enemies just drop dead in a split second. Want to see if there's some way I could get 10. That's gotta be a record. To the OP, you made a kickass build. I'd like to suggest you add some "along-the-way" gear. You state "Easy Gearing Path" right in the title, but then don't say much as to what that path is. From my own experience, I've got two suggestions that are 1 chaos each, until you make it to the gear stage you're aiming for. Dark Ray Vectors add an incredible amount of movement speed (45%) and complement Acrobatics with an added 18% to dodge. It's legit. Haemophilia gloves I just can't say enough about. When you can't get an explodey chest (or want to use Lioneye's Vision, which is 8ex right now, lol), these gloves are second-to-none, ESPECIALLY in the crowded Ritual arena. Everyone just bursts. Add far shot into the mix, and bursting full groups an entire screen away. It's nuts. I'll be sad when I say goodbye to them, but for the red maps I'm doing right now, they are so much fun. Also, grab a Lord of Steel with the Corrupted Blood mod, for good measure. Pretty cheap, and gets that out of the way. Finally, just randomly picked up a talisman that has +1 Curse, but never really figured out what to put there. Would love to hear suggestions. Anyway, love it. Love the whole thing. I played Carrion Golems last time and never really felt like I was actually doing anything... Now I feel like a hero and a champion. Nice work! Thanks! |

How exactly are you getting 9 frenzy charges? I count 6

" +3 frenzies, as the default. +3 from passive tree +1 from Way of the Poacher +1 from corrupted Haemophilia +1 from Darkray Vectors That's 9, and oh boy, does it work well! I know there's a way to get another from gear. Rings, maybe? Would love to have 10 total. Also, wondering if there's a way to improve exponentially from other passive tree nodes. Even small changed to frenzy bonus becomes huge when you're rocking 10 of them! What I mean to say is, like the Raider tree and Darkray Vectors, is there anything that boosts dps or evasion, or anything really, on a PER frenzy charge basis? Love to hear anyone's thoughts. EDIT: Quick trade search shows the only way I can get another frenzy for an even 10 charges, is with an implicit on a ring... 8ex though, and out of my price range right now, lol.

Also went raider and can confirm that it feels way better. Faster clearing, more damage and survivability.
Now I just need to get that +1 projectile on the helmet, which is quite difficult to get with good resists Last edited by TheKenjataimu#5590 on Jan 20, 2021, 8:33:49 PM

" Glad somebody's having the same experience I did. I guess maybe I should emphasize more on swap to Raider for mapping. As for the +1 curse, I ran a Vulnerability on Hit ring for one curse and one of the marks for the other. Poacher's mark for even more life-on-hit, or sniper's mark for damage and the insane chain/splitting effect (great for metamorphs or any other boss that summons a lot of adds). I always anointed extra curse on any amulet. |
|
" Hmm, can you post a video and PoB? Maybe I've been doing something wrong. I looked at your character and it's pretty similar to mine, maybe I'll try the other gloves. |
|
" Do you have 9 frenzies, or more? That's when things really started kickin' butt. Also, the gloves (for me, anyway) |
|
" I have 7 (tried it with the gloves for 8 but not darkray). There must by something fundamental that I'm missing- a 25% or even 2x difference wouldn't really cover it (yes, I'm using call of steel). |
|
" I'll take a video next Elderslayer I take down. What exactly is not working? Are you dying too much? Not enough DPS? Let me know. |
|
" Thanks in advance. I'm not doing enough single target DPS. On the other hand. survivability has actually been quite good. T16 Elderslayers at AL 5 take like a a couple minutes to kill. Rares go down pretty quickly. Harvest rares take a while (harvest bosses literally take an eternity). Obviously, my gear isn't min-maxed and there are some big ticket items that would help, but I'm trying to figure out if I'm missing something before investing in expensive stuff like a 6L, Dying Sun, Savior, Bottled Faith, +2 impale Watcher's Eye, Ryslatha's, etc. Something like dual curses or +1 frenzy Haemophilia would help, but I doubt it'd make too much of a difference for bosses. |
