Excelent damage output with Titan fall on weapon and thank for your guidance and setup in Maxroll❤. I was ables to speed a bit this build for speed farming changed the aspect from boots combined with teleport rune on weapon and shako for cdr blood Wave. Now I have 9 sec on BW with triple the CDR on shako (non ga). The thing is this build really shine but is slow for normal activities. Keep up the good work and hope we see a deep video for speed variant

[@LordxSaura]

Thank you! I do have a speed farm variant in the guide also. After i am satisfied with some pit pushes, I am going to focus on some other aspects of the game! Appreciate you for being here!

@@robertwelch1443 this was a bit short one but i will be releasing a much more in depth FAQ as well

[@quahogconvo]

Thank you for the updates! I just got my Kessime boots earlier and running the Ancestral version of the build. I have to retemper my weapon for your changes to that, but I figured I'll wait for a GA upgrade to do that.

[@LordxSaura]

@@quahogconvo your welcome! And yes i would definitely wait!

[@sleepyiguess]

amazing video saura!

[@ClydeStokley]

3 points into Reap gives you that gaurnetted corpse, which is nice to gaurentee tendrils right before casting blood wave, allowing the tendrils to grab in middle of second wave. Very good for speed farming.

[@LordxSaura]

@@ClydeStokley i think speed farming version you go press one button and move to the next pack as soon as possible. What you are describing is like too much of a set up for speed farming; with slow attack speed, having to reap to create a corpse, and then tendrils thats already too much of a setup. If i am in the melee range, i would just cast wave at that point and start my damage rotation immediately, wave will pull them and will create a corpse anyways

[@cemtastemir109]

With piranhado u wont ever need tendrils

[@LordxSaura]

@ tendrils could have been a very important part of the rotation however tidal bug still not being fixed, its currently useless. And i am updating my guides based on this. No more tendrils and we are adding another darkness skill to the bar (sever or reap) to increase dmg/movement speed

[@AhmetAdar-p4g]

U deserve the attention! Nice guides

[@LordxSaura]

@@AhmetAdar-p4g thank you!

[@garylarson9353]

Fantastic content as usual My Lord. One question, do you have any recommendation of what witch power to use in place of the currently disabled one, Hex of Whispers?

[@LordxSaura]

@@garylarson9353 honestly i am yet to fully test them in game. I do have some ideas but will need a bit more time. I think witch powers can be optimized further which is what i am focusing on next

[@smiter1945]

The tidal no damage bug happens on Duriel sometimes. 200 runs and it happened about 4 times.

[@LordxSaura]

@@smiter1945 interesting. If you can clip it and send it to me next time, i can report it

[@LordxSaura]

UPDATE: Pit TIER 150 now has fallen! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJikn4h-bMeAo7ssi=1O4jNIWAnF2lfl8C

[@chrisb.9083]

The bug isn't just for big groups. Happens even when just hitting 2 or 3 enemies. At least without the unique

[@LordxSaura]

@@chrisb.9083 interesting. I never played the build this season without the unique. Something must be really bugged with tidal. I will test document and report

[@ZomgZomg007]

So i took corpse tendril out as you suggested, but when i still do big pulls like 140+, it still bugs out with just one wave, this can be annoying since you kinda have to pull big.

[@LordxSaura]

Yea since wave pulls it does happen. I even dropped piranhado now, its useless. Its a very annoying bug and you always have to be so careful to not pull as much. Which then somewhat reduces our clear efficiency too.

[@florentjean5952]

i play this buil but actually following rob link build, not the same glyphe etc. Dont now my play time but i clear 130 with faster pace than that 120 here and without heir of perdition. Next step is farming witchtide and upgrading power, going for boss mat with tribute and a big boss smashing getting the helmet i'm missing, then masterworking, doing pit150, finishing glyphe and i'm done. Feel sad that season during only 1 week because of no challenge.

[@LordxSaura]

@@florentjean5952 i have talked and looked into Rob’s guide. This is not a jab to him, he is a friend but that build is not as optimized as Rob himself is not just focusing on one class and he has more to juggle. So i can guarantee you that my planner is way more optimized and paragon is for sure is very very optimized and all the math indicates these glyphs to be more damage. My 120 run came after 15 hours of playing. Garbage gear, no masterworking, only 4 glyphs slotted 1 not even legendary, list goes on. So too many variables to compare.

[@DigitalManVideos]

Hi, i think i have a cooldown issue with Blood Wave build. I have 67% blood wave cdr on my pants, 10% ultimate cdr on ring1, 9% ultimate cdr on ring2. If i take them off and mouse over blood wave it says 33.04 seconds. i put on pants it says 10.74 seconds. I put on ring1 it says 10.25 seconds. i put on ring2 it says 10.25 seconds. Is ultimate cdr broken on rings? without the pants, ring1 makes it 29, and ring2 makes it 26 so its working but seems severely diminished and not worth tempering?

[@LordxSaura]

@@DigitalManVideos we do not temper blood wave cdr on the pants, we temper chance to double damage. Do you have other source of cdr on anywhere on your gear? Sounds like you hit the cap

[@DigitalManVideos]

@@LordxSaura yes my gear isnt setup perfect, my first masterworking attempt gave me triple cdr so i kept it. same with the helm, i got triple crit so im crit capped at 100% guess i need to go ahead and redo them when i get more mats. btw thank you so much for the build guide it has been fantastic. im para 210 and the build is really coming online now!

[@scottstirling3335]

Can someone explain why attack speed is a priority affix for this build?

[@LordxSaura]

Attack speed is quite important to activate flesh eater as much as possible and smoother gameplay to cast corpse explosion, and wave itself. The faster you cast CE etc the more uptime on your damage modifiers.

[@julianosterode7056]

Hey mate what wirch power to level first? Would be interesting because this is a long ride

[@LordxSaura]

Purging touch > Aura Specialization > Soul Harvest > Breath of the coven (for pit pushing variant)

[@pauz5864]

Hey mate, curious about your thoughts on Undaunted and Exhumation glyphs; ive seen some people run them (especially Exhumation), saying that the bonuses to rank5 bloodwave are worth it. curious to hear your thoughts, cheers

[@LordxSaura]

Hey! I think its an easy trap to fall into. They probably think oh this boosts the stat sheet value so its a better return since it works similar to coalesced blood etc. without considering the diminishing returns. Those buckets get quite oversaturated and stops giving its full value after certain break point. And I do not think they fully calculated or considered this. There are better glyph options, when you actually calculate them against each other, you see that those glyphs are not optimal at all. Hopefully i will finish this calculator soon, so I can provide it to you all to plug and play.

[@pauz5864]

@ respect and thanks mate 🤝👊

[@martinnovak4558]

I have a question. You using corpse tendrils but i havent seen in skill tree alocate poitn. How is this possible.

[@LordxSaura]

Corpse tendrils is only used in the ancestral version of the build. Build guide has few variants, starter, ancestral, mythic, speed farm and pit push.

[@jjblue3062]

Does Titans fall on a weapon outweigh the unique effect on Kessime's legacy? Current situation. I have two pairs of kessime's legacy ,but the pair i have with the GA of Blood wave deal double damage is 1112/1588...7%/10% and 210%/300%. The other pair i have is not double damage GA and is 1429/1588...9%/10%.. and 270%/300%. Before i risk bricking, my double GA mace i'd like to know, which is better :). Thank you for the guides!

[@LordxSaura]

@@jjblue3062 effect is definitely more important. You want it as high as possible. You really want the ga double damage and high unique pants for the end game, i suggest you def find one!

[@jjblue3062]

@LordxSaura Thank you!

[@DamionChoi]

Quick question @LordxSaura why run the resource gen on weopon?

[@LordxSaura]

We are running Qax rune which spends all of our resource when it procs. So we get our resource back this way!

[@haylonix]

Thanks for the update. Can’t wait for the definitive answer between Damage while Fortified vs Blood Overpower. I learnt pretty quick to remove Corpse Explosion & Flesh Eater. Im guessing it’s only worth considering when pushing really high pit.

[@LordxSaura]

I think you need to run Corpse explosion for sure, even if you dont spam it or cast it often to proc flesh eater, just casting it once gives you 12% dmg increase from fueled by death. Just having it on the bar gives another 8% from reapers pursuit. So that itself is almost 30% dmg increase. In terms of damage while fortified, could you check the video in the description? Let me know if that clarifies, if not feel free to ask more questions!

[@haylonix]

@ Thanks for the reply. You’re right, I didn’t think out Corpse Explosion properly. I did watch linked vid, I have just seen Skulm & MacroBio etc temper Blood Overpower and assumed it’s still being debated. Thanks again Saura!

[@LordxSaura]

@@haylonix I cant speak for other content creators on what they think is best but i can for sure say that Macro knows damage while fortified is way better. Macro and I work together. There is no debate though, the formula is quite obvious both in game and in the calculations damage while fortified is significantly superior than any other additive temper

@ there are steps on the bottom left. It’s designed to guide you through all the way up to 290 paragon points. After that point, you just want to grab int nodes

[@cemtastemir109]

Hey dude, got a quick question about your guide. So you say you reach 100% crit chance with Heir of Perdition and gloves alone but you only reach about 67-70% with triple MW on GA affix (50% Heir of Perdition and 15% on gloves). Am I missing something there? Edit: Also aura of Specialization has (+) sign which means its additive 35% crit damage bonus. Cant we use something better there like the one that makes all enemies Vulnerable or something else?

[@LordxSaura]

@@cemtastemir109 There is also inspiring leader passive node which grants 16% and dexterity also gives you crit chance. With those you reach 100% Aura specialization has a wrong visual representation, it is actually multiplicative

[@b77r5]

Hey how do you temper armor on the amulet ?

[@LordxSaura]

If you have tempered different category, you wont be able to change it to defensive category

[@itsZvn]

Is grandfather viable to use with this build on mythic setup? was thinking to maybe imprint tidal on the amulet but wasn't sure how good it is.

[@LordxSaura]

Sadly it definitely is not. You lose so much if you run grandfather. Losing the tempers, losing the huge tidal multiplier etc.

[@itsZvn]

@@LordxSaura thats what I thought, tyvm!

[@youzbee]

Noticed in the planner and the maxroll guide none of your resistances are capped as written. Is that intended? Easy choice is just to swap life or armor on boots to all res but wanted to ask.

[@LordxSaura]

@@youzbee hey, unfortunately maxroll planner does not accurately calculates resistances and armor. It doesnt incorporate new occult gems, spiked armor passives as well as the secondary bonus of some rare nodes from paragon. If you apply the planner in game you will see you will cap your armor and res

@@LordxSaura ah okay, thats it then. I'm only at paragon 170 so haven't gotten all of those +all res nodes. I'll swap my boots till I can fill those in, thanks! Awesome build!

Yo is there way to work in accursed touchb if you can get a ring to roll chance for vulnerable? Or is there another way to make vulnerable?

@@ApostleBerko we are making them vulnerable by using the lucky hit chance inflict vuln affix on one of our rings. Wasting an aspect slot would be too much of a damage loss

[@trueblue1724]

What I find so exasperating on all the maxroll guides, who gives a rats ass about Item Contribution when you're trying to apply points??? All it does is cause GREAT confusion! It is totally gear dependent and has nothing to do with placing the points into the build!!! I can't believe this is even a thing that exists..

[@LordxSaura]

There is a skill tree section in the written guide that shows pure skill point distribution without any item contribution. We hear this feedback a lot and that's why we have this special section. It’s unfortunately not possible to demonstrate that in the planner.
