listen, you gotta do the warcry near enemies to get a bonus anyway, so just do the thing before every pack or every two-three packs of you are going fast enough this isn't hard

You think I'd be far behind in DPS terms if I went Chieftain instead for facebreakin'? The taunting and more durable totems and free leech sound nice.

The totem taunt is actually more useful than the leech a lot of the time and honestly Chieftan isn't far behind Zerker for dps due to the monsters near totem take 16% increased damage node.

Does that damage increase work different from other ones like on a jewel or something? 16 increase sounds like way less than 40 more from what I understand.

Increased on targets (like via Intimidation, or the Inquisitor elemental one) effectively are more multipliers.

I get endurance via Gladiator passives so it's not needed. Just a wasted click when I could be blade flurrying or laying an ancestral protector.

Edit: Any other blade flurry bleeders around? I'm curious why guides suggest taking Dirty Techniques over Blade Master. On balance I feel like the attack damage + ASP + ailment damage > pure bleed damage.

Adding poison stacks really helped my build. I'm new myself, but I changed spec to get 100% on both bleed and poison. I also took Crimson Dance and Resolute Technique to try and make the Blade Flurries count. It really hit its stride when I got the Gladiator passive that blows up bleeding enemies.

Its a fun build, for sure.

Biscos is worth every chaos. It is the 2nd best item in the game. If your build can wear biscos and isn't doing so then wtf are you doing. If it can't wear biscos then it's a bad build.

Especially with how many alts you roll, this will maximize your gains.

Does penetration go negative? e.g. Lighting Penetration support would push an enemy's resist to -20%, so ignoring the enemy's resist would reduce your damage because -20% with pen is better than 0% with that node allocated

Actual field results would depend on resist of the enemy, that calc might make a poor assumption to where the node would still be a net benefit because enemies would have more resists than it thinks

J
Jun 10, 2001

Yep, inevitable judgement can be a dps loss if you have a high crit rate and are already reducing the enemies resistances below zero. Crits with inevitable judgement are calculated as if the target has exactly 0 resist, so you may actually be increasing their resists with a crit.

Ah yeah the build has 25% fire penetration total, but I guess it's just treating everything like it has low resists?

change the calculation to boss or shaper, should show you the dps increase (and again, bosses are what matter, calculations honestly should always be set to that at least)

Anyone have a link to a solid Maurader build that has decent clear speed and can do bosses. I've been looking into Sunder a bit but I'd like to get opinions before committing.

I also "finished" my Vaal Fireball / Spark speed farmer but I am having trouble actually killing poo poo. I am currently level 74 with 3/4 Labyrinth's completed. poo poo does doesn't seem to want to die and I think I might be roughly 10 levels/skill points away from actually completing this build but the guide I was looking into said I should be able to swap into it around level 70. Anyone have experience with this build and about what level you were able to get it online?

Sunder is a really really fun clear skill, and I love leveling with it, but the single target DPS on bosses just doesn't keep up compared to other skills. Doesn't mean you can't brute force it, but it isn't one of the optimal ways to get bosses dead, compared to other skills that can still clear adequately.

I was playing around a bit with a Berserker Blade Flurry using daggers or claws, and ended up keeping on using axe / claw so that I could Sunder with one hand, and Blade Flurry with the other, was pretty fun enough. With more money spent I might have been able to get the Sunder DPS to keep up enough with only being able to 4-link it.

You gotta remove any pen gems and stuff and also set the mob to a boss or shaper.

Is there a generally settled on way to build Sunder. I see a lot of builds are either 2H or Totem. Anyone know which of these is generally settled on as the go to?

Got a link for the tree? I'm using Terminus Flicker right now and I'm wondering how far off Oro's is

I don't think my character is worth following, but it is really straight forward;
- Get Resolute Technique
- Get every life node, including Scion Wheel
- Get every fire damage node, including chance to ignite / burn damage
- Get some jewel slots (and endurance charges if Chieftain)
- I took Blood Magic

This makes it a very dense build; everything is located near eachother.
I should probably make the trip for EE if there is a different damage node on jewellery.

I want to test my exact same setup with Molten Strike, to see if it kills bosses.
Perhaps change my weapon to Pledge of Hands. Hmm, could be a good weapon swap for bosses now that I think about it.
