Ranger - [3.27] 40+ million DPS perma-flask Poisonous Concoction | Trickster/Pathfinder/Deadeye - Forum

Hello! So what do you think of which class is the best to start new league? " t0lkien#7048 wrote: UPDATE: They have removed Adrenaline and replaced it with something not as useful to us. It (Wild Savagery) might still be useable though. The mechanics are the same, it's just 100% increased Physical Damage, and 10% Action Speed. " With the new Bloodline ascendancies, it looks as if Deadeye is going to be the choice for this upcoming league - though Trickster and Pathfinder are always options. Deadeye's +3 Chains (2 projectiles + 1 Chain), +Frenzy Charges, and +Projectile Speed play into Oshabi's Wild Bear Adrenaline buff too well to ignore. Adrenaline is possibly the strongest buff in the game for us, so any way of generating it reliably without losing in other areas is going to be extremely strong. The only thing we have to navigate is the Rage mechanic, hence Projectile Speed being directly useful because it increases the number of hits per second from PCoB. Rage Mechanic breakdown Assuming Wild Bear causes all Rage to be lost at max Rage even if Adrenaline is still up and so can't be reapplied: Adrenaline will last for 5s (30 base + 20 = 50 max Rage), and will take around (4AS x 15 bounces x 2 Rage per hit = 120 => 50 Rage/120 Rage per sec) = ~0.4 seconds to refresh max Rage. That's conservatively and at normal Projectile Speed, so it could be even less during the league. That means theoretically Adrenaline should be up more than 90% of the time at endgame. A preemptive PoB has the Deadeye doing 76 million effective DPS at least by level 92 (DoT capped to ~41 million with Cull of course, but such high damage overhead means we do capped poison damage on Uber bosses as well). And that doesn't take any new corruptions or grafts into consideration. It's actually looking like our kind of league.	Posted by Eif#0012 on Oct 31, 2025, 5:49:56 AM Quote this Post

If that turns out in any way not to be good enough, I'll swap back to Pathfinder.	Posted by t0lkien#7048 on Oct 31, 2025, 6:44:23 AM Quote this Post
I see. Thanks! Your build seems very interesting, will try it on ranger as well (but I think more of pathfinder if the adrenaline thing is nerfed anyway)	Posted by Eif#0012 on Oct 31, 2025, 7:41:40 AM Quote this Post
Does it affect the DPS?	Posted by Eif#0012 on Oct 31, 2025, 11:37:18 AM Quote this Post

" Eif#0012 wrote: Does it affect the DPS? Yes, but not at endgame, when we will be DoT capped anyway. How much effect it has during campaign, we'll find out in about 30 mins. I suspect it won't make any substantive difference.	Posted by t0lkien#7048 on Oct 31, 2025, 2:39:56 PM Quote this Post
how do u generate endurance charges when using badge of brotherhood?	Posted by keiiii#6688 on Nov 1, 2025, 12:28:27 PM Quote this Post
Deadeye seems to be the way this league, with none of the Bloodlines - Deadye's Ascendency nodes are hard to beat. The version I'm running uses the Endurance Charge version of Ralakeh's Impatience Boots to have all the benefits from max Endurance Charges all the time. Level 97, 62 million uncapped DPS, DoT cap on Ubers, 315k eHP There is another version that uses Farrul's Fur to have Frenzy and Endurance charges up 100% of the time: Level 94, 66 million uncapped DPS, Dot cap on Ubers, 172k eHP Last edited by t0lkien#7048 on Nov 12, 2025, 12:38:35 AM	Posted by t0lkien#7048 on Nov 2, 2025, 4:07:52 AM Quote this Post
