0.3 (Build of the Week Contest) Jumping Pirate (Work IN Progress)
|
Hello Everybody,
this is my Build I would like to submit for the Build of the Week Contest. It is centered around the new Unique Item Shankgonne. I use Rapid Shot to stack Heat and empower the grenades. Then detonate them with the Black Powder Blitz. I got my Inspiration from Palsteron, Ruetoo and Screamheart. Here is the PoB: https://pobb.in/i6W36Y_sb-43 I have 3 Trees in the PoB, one for general Leveling, then once you get Shankgonne you respecc and get rid of detonation time Nodes, because you can detonate them yourself. For the setup you would want to use a Three Dragons Helmet to reliable Procc Herald of Thunder while leveling. When you have a good Crossbow with enough Flat Lightning Dmg you can use a different Helmet. Shankgonne is the centerpiece of the Build. Pros: +you get a wooden Leg for maximum Pirate Vibes +you can now Jump around and detonate Everything +its fun Cons: -you loose dodgeroll and mechanics/support/skillgems that are triggered by it like reload (Lineage Supports Like >Raths, Mirage Archer,... etc) -you can*t jump over Ledges or Obstacles (GGG plz!) -sometimes you will get stuck in random Objects/Enemies -NO MOVEMENTSPEED ON BOOTS! this is huge, I tried to get around this penalty by various methods (haste companion, onslaught, ms on tree etc) I chose Armour for defense. It can be played with Evasion aswell. So stack Armour, get Deflection Rating as Armour, get Armour applies to Elemental Dmg. Special Interactions: I came up or got inspired to use some use some cool new Interaction/Tech to improve the Build. The first one I got from Ruetoo, but I improved on it. I use Ngamahu's Chosen, Ruby Charm with Molten Being annointed (Get 5% as extra Fire, take 5% of Phys as Fire) to get the charm active and have 30 Rage for a massive dmg Boost everytime I get hit. Trinity Aura. For more Elemental Dmg and that sweet 15% Skill speed. (Before I used Combat Franzy+Charge regulation,.. a just weaker version which could be useable if Frenzy charges would give any benefit,...) To enable a balance dmg Spread we use the new Support gem Xoph's Pyre (gain fire as extra Chaos) + Embitter (all gains are converted to Cold) Support. And to further increase this, the new Rune Saquawal's Rune of the Sky. gain 5% of Dmg as extra of ALL Elements (FIRE, Cold, LIghtning = 15% more!) With 2x RUnes = 30% more xD Black Powder Blitz does not only detonate but helps with our recovery. Through the use of Holy Descent to create consecrated ground. (Bonus with Second Wind 2 to get a 6% Life recovered as well) Second Wind 2, is used in to recover Life with Cluster grenade, it gives 2 more uses (now 4) and increases the Cooldown to 14,49 seconds -> recover 28% Life on every use.....

I use some random Gems here and there (auto atk, or explosive shot to get the Bonus from Gem Enthusiast. You could even make yourself elemental ailment Immune with Crystallised Immunities (I am not atm) Rapid Shot: Its fast, its fun and it generates Heat to Empower the Grenades. The most important Support is Gambleshot, which makes the Projectile Pierce, chain and fork randomly. This way you can always Pin the enemies. It is used to setup Trinity Aura. Supports in Order: +Gamble Shot +Multi Shot 2 +Elemental Armament 2 +Xophs Pyre +Embitter With Three Dragons Helmet you can use Fire Attunement, Fire Mastery or any gem you like. Explosive Grenade: Our Main Dmg and the Big Boom in the Build. With the Passive Nodes of Cluster Boms (+1 Grenade), Repeating Explosives (2nd detonation), our Cross Bow (+1 Grenade) and Multishot 2 you will fire 5 Grenades each time. Used for rares and Bosses Supports: +Elemental Armmament 2 +Multishot 2 +Payload (2nd Explosion) +Cocentrated Area (more Dmg) Cluster Grenade: This is our AOE Nuke to get Rid of nasty Packs of Monsters, almost Screenwide. Makes Abyss, Expedition, Essence and other Mobs trivial. Stack with other Grenades on Bosses Supports: +Elemental Armmament 2 +Multishot 2 +Payload (2nd Explosion) +Second Wind 2, for Life recovery and two more uses Mortar Cannon: the Main Skill for other Builds. Here it is a Setup Utility and Dmg Boost to fire more Grenades. (Only used on Bosses or in Ritual). Helps activate the Node Demolitionist (4% gain as extra Dmg for every different grenade in the last 8 seconds). Could power up our dmg by 20%, bur 12% is realistic, still a great node +Gas Grenade for more dmg, poisen +Oil Grenade for Burning Ground +Flash Grenade for Shocking Voltaxic Mark used on bosses for more Shock and Dmg Supports: +Execute2 +Magnified Area Companion This is very Important to get the Haste Aura, for Atk and Movement Speed. (Palsteron has great Video where to aquire the Specific Ant) It could have other mods, like def or dmg but it depends on you endurance to reset teh area. For Dmg phys as extra Fire Aura, for Def maybe Es Aura, Temporal Bubble etc. Supports: +Loyalty - companion takes dmg for you +Last Grasp - it stays up 4 secs longer after death +Meat Shield for dmg reduction - this can be Upgraded with the new Brutus Brain Lineage Support. Makes it Invincible, still could die maybe to some wonky interaction +Maim, because why not Trinity: +Precision 1, need more Spirit on Chest to get Precision 2. Accuracy is very important for our attacks +Mastery +1 to skill gem, Fire, cold or Lightning Herald of Ash: used since leveling, not needed with three Dragons, later becomes good again. Can be swaped to any Aura of your choice. I didnt find anything else I want atm. Will try Herald of Ice next Supports: +Magnified Area +Fire Mastery +1 Herald of Thunder: The big Clearspeed, feeling Comfy, looks good Herald. Very Important. You know it. Btw it is classified as an Attack, and get +6 Levels from the Crossbow! Supports: +Elemental Armament 2 +Lightning Mastery +1 +Longshot +Culling Strike2 Gear:
