I didn’t intend to infer that that particular build was the one I was referring to which “required” a Unique that only drops from Uber, but simply pointed out that it “used” one. I should have put those into 2 different paragraphs to make sure it was more clear.
so far…pretty good. massive stun, but dmg starts lacking alrdy at 150corr. but i didnt optimize.
Found the “snowcrash” node in aftershock and switched to shaman (new char cause i want my bear to work) and right now I have 2 aftershocks with 100% chance for another aftershock and 200% avalancheboulder each… on a single meele hit. → 8 Boulders
but I want to change the relic for the Body armor with 100% on “unique shape” idols… still testing
Even in the feedback section, it is still a public discussion. I’m not sure why do you need me to tell you this, but I can indeed reply to you here and give you tips. Even if you don’t want them, there are other readers who read this.
If you wanted to send private feedback, you could do it in-game.
That’s not how it works. You’re the one making a claim (that “AA melee primalist” can’t kill uber), so you are also required to provide a proof that it’s impossible.
Assuming it’s impossible because nobody recorded a video of it yet is a logical fallacy.
But there is no argument.
You can state a claim with no proof, so I can dismiss it with no proof, and we’re done talking.
If you read the TLDR post I made, you can see that I am working with the thing you’re looking for.
But I really feel that even with the most OP gear I won’t kill uber as the dmg is not as high as it should be
I’ve been playing primalists for the past couple of years, melee AA ones in particular.
P.S. BTW a good one as I remember is Spirit Wolves spawned by Swipes. It probably should kill uber, but haven’t tried it myself yet, but it looks promising.
Have you considered ignoring Tempest Strike and replacing Stormbreaker?
Dual-wielding with faster weapons might lead to a faster attack rate than Tempest Strike, using Gathering Storm directly. Truesight Glass amulet for massive overcrits from Stormbolts.
Replace idols with weaver idols that give spell damage and spell damage increase.
Your relic could be replaced with Stormcarved Testament.
Yes, you cannot provide feedback about it, because you have no idea what you’re talking about. The usual way to do it is to:
Play the build in question.
Go through several iterations of the build, trying different setups and gear.
If unsuccessful, communicate with the community to see if they can give you advice about something you missed.
If the community has no idea how to do it either, then you give feedback, describing what you tried and what is consensus the community came to.
Looking at this build, it’s clear why your build doesn’t do damage - because you don’t go for any damage stats. You have no melee crit, your %inc melee damage is very low, so TS is fast, but weak. You’re specialized into Storm Bolt, which isn’t a melee attack, so things like Aspect of the Shark do nothing for it.
A Storm Bolt focused build would go for maximum %inc spell damage, because flat spell damage is provided from Tempest Weapon in GS and from ATN scaling, and Spell crit chance is provided by Maelstrom stacks and Warcry.
Melee focused build would instead use flat +Melee Crit Chance and flat +Melee damage affixes on weapons, and other crit stats elsewhere on gear, as well as a source of Doom debuff. Melee build would also have Crashing Waves in TS and some +skill levels for TS to grab all the %more dmg nodes.
Other observations:
No Cry of the Lynx / Serrated Claws in BM mastery tree? (+120% crit multi at the cost of pressing a companion skill - which was already on the skill bar in the video)
Just using Gathering Storm directly. If you don’t use Storm Breaker, you’ll need GS.
The main reason for TS is the attack speed and the 60% multiplier for each Stormbolt that gets triggered this way. But considering other sources of attack speed, TS doesn’t really makes this much of a difference, and the drawback of using Stormbreaker is too big to justify the 60% multiplier.
Removing TS frees a skill slot. Specialize the bear as a health buffer for survivability, and switch out the Titan Heart armour for the one that shares damage taken with your companion.
I tried DW without TS. 60% more turned out much better. With pure GS I had like 2
250-300 GS stack on dummy, but in actual monos and bosses they weren’t as high.
As well as the survivability as Stormbreaker provides a huge survivability buff with its high leech %.
The bear isn’t as great due to him perishing too quickly and there’s no skill to remove in his favor thus making Aspect of the Lynx not that useful as well. Moreover, the crit multi is already fine with all the procs and frenzy totem. And the passive points are limited so I’m not so sure which nodes can be replaced freely
As for frailty - I have it from the 1×2 idol (probs not in the planner)
Sure thing. This way with pure TS the GS won’t be needed at all and probably would open up a free space in skills for the bear and Lynx in the passive tree. But that’d be a completely different build.
Without Stormbreaker, without attunement stacking and probably without red rings even (or with 1 max). Same goes for the amulet.
I’d look into TS with the %inc cold dmg (per helath regen) set this way. But that’s just theory, needs time to see numbers
We discussed generating stacks in the other topic. There’s a new unique belt that gives you the first stack to kickstart the stack generation, and then a minion or totem can keep them up.
With using GS directly, you’d probably try to stack Storm Stacks as high as possible in order to make them expend faster but no idea how that compares to the other options.
Well, TS is a faster attack by default (just like Vengeance vs. Rive for example). At around 200% AS from items, we’re looking at a difference of 2-3 attacks per second.
TS also provides extra spell damage - from Heorot’s Arsenal and Gladiator of Lagon buff stacking.
But in general we can say that this change gives away damage for a more tanky minion. I think his build is already weak, I’d definitely change the armor like you suggested, but I wouldn’t specialize into the bear
Really? Because it sure doesn’t look like you put them into practice.
Dude, notice that you’re the one who keeps asking me silly questions about god and/or bringing up sarcastic remarks. You could simply stop, and we could have a normal discussion with everyone involved here. The choice was always yours.
Okay, then you’re a spell build. As in, the majority of your damage comes from Storm Bolts, so you need % increased spell lightning damage stat.
Aspect of the Lynx doesn’t require specializing into a minion. Just press the Taunt button that you already have on your skillbar under Q. As for being fine already … no comment
The change of body armor that HorusKBZ suggested is a good idea, and I would also put points into Primal Aspects, that’s another DR% source. Since you only have one companion, you can pick up the “limited to 1 companion node” with extra minion Health for one point.
