Nice!

[@lain0120]

It was very interesting. It's harder than I thought in the video, and it wasn't worn out, so I'm wondering what the deal mechanisms and operational know-how are.

[@jackl413]

good

[@tasandmnm69]

I was messing around with things and ended up investing in the Creep upgrade that gives %20 extra Crit chance and it has made a very noticeable difference in my kill speed and immediately jumped me up some pit levels. Not sure why I haven't seen anyone investing in it since we use Creeper constantly to maintain the poison debuff.

[@ThomAssDaTrain]

@tasandmnm69 i used it before but i dont think it helps with the boss, ill give it a try again and see if it helps me

[@tasandmnm69]

@@ThomAssDaTrain the %20 more Crit certainly didn't hurt me against bosses! I tried Blood Howl out with the aspect that gives it 10% Crit in addition to 15%AS and it is great on packs but completely useless against the boss.

[@tasandmnm69]

Very impressive. Can I ask why you didn't go with Unsung Ascetics Wraps? Most people I've talked to seem to think buffing LS damage is much better than the route you've went in buffing both Landslide and LS but I was always interested to see how it would play out if you invested in both

[@ThomAssDaTrain]

Unsung is good if you dont have legendary gloves with atk spd, crit chance and core skill, but if you do, its just better dmg. I just think its better too boost all your dmg, not just one specific thing like lightning storm. Im still looking for someone using unsung that has completed pit 130+ in s4

[@tasandmnm69]

@@ThomAssDaTrain I don't think that will be a successful search.

[@tasandmnm69]

I have maxed out at 120 and I just see no good reason to pauh myself further since it was so difficult. I have a 3 GA Axe but the rest of my items are all 1 GA only and I have an amulet with 0 GAs lol. So I could get 2 more rabks of Envenom and various other stats with perfected gear but you are puahing for me at this point lol. Our builds are very similar, I am using Tectonic instead of Outmatch as I like the extra Lucky Hit chance and have Earthen Devastation at 37% (no tempers just from paragon) and Thunderstruck at about 140%, crit chance and AS are udentical at 63.6% and crit damage is a bit under 800 (about 135 earth Crit damage as well). I wish I knew the attack speed break points for Landslide but I cant find that info anywhere.

[@ThomAssDaTrain]

@tasandmnm69 peep the planner again i changed some stuff. Using electrocution and dominate for more dmg and using stormstrike and aspect of might on chest. To help with healing i took life on hit on the totem. It works well in mobs. Bad omen helps with more hits to heal and makes electrocution work. There so many hits happening youll overpower and get the 15% dmg boost from dominate. Hope this helps.

[@tasandmnm69]

@@ThomAssDaTrain I saw Dominate and at first I was like wtf is he thinking? But I think it may be a stroke of genius, I will likely try it out.

[@tasandmnm69]

​@@ThomAssDaTrainMy paragon is very similar to yours right now and all glyphs are the same except I am using Tectonic. I wonder how the 15x damage on Dominate compared to losing 20%LH and a pretty hefty chunk of Crit Damage from Tectonic? I would really love to come up with a good paragon board that allowed me to use more glyphs without losing a ton of Life. I had a board worked out with 6 glyphs that still let me use the same 4 legendary nodes but I lost a LOT of %Life so it just ended up not being worth it.

[@ThomAssDaTrain]

@tasandmnm69 dominate is just for squeezing for dmg. Tectonic provides better quality of life. Im using stormstrike so im not having many spirit gen problems with only one lhc primary on ring and life on hit for totem instead lhc primary

[@tasandmnm69]

I have hit a wall earlier than I thought I would at pit 110, soecifically on the boss. I can get to the boss no problem but then I get to boss and burn through a few stagger phases and then the boss goes into a phase where it is near impossible to stagger again. I have made a couple masterworking upgrades so I may get by it now but regardless I am close to my ceiling. I am using paragon very similar to yours except for more damage replaced Human with Electrocution and I am using Undaunted instead of Tectonic. I am alsi ysing Retribution now instead of extra companions one because it sounle dips on bosses in stagger phase. I an using Storm Strike to proc Natural Balance but I have found that landing a hit to get the DR often puts me in dangerous situations and that thenoverall build would likely be better iff if switched to Distant damage instead of Close since it rolls higher and by far the #1 reason I die is getting close to elites.

[@ThomAssDaTrain]

your right i dropped stampede, il be going for 132 and upload if i can complete it.

[@tasandmnm69]

@@ThomAssDaTrain Best of luck with it! Let us know how. It goes for sure

[@erickeda4426]

Is it a dps loss to use starless skies for the 1.5x multi and drop stampede and put natures balance on the gloves?

[@ThomAssDaTrain]

@erickeda4426 never tried it but id think it would work well

[@erickeda4426]

Cool thanks for the fast reply. Would you try to MC on the crit chance or core dmg on the starless sky?

[@ThomAssDaTrain]

@@erickeda4426 probably crit chance

[@tasandmnm69]

Can I ask why Storm Strike? At first I just assumed uou were using Cyclone Armor,.I did a doible take when I saw it was Stron Strike.

[@ThomAssDaTrain]

@tasandmnm69 15% DR and it lets me use Natural Balance

[@tasandmnm69]

@@ThomAssDaTrain Thanks for the reply, makes perfect sense.

[@user-nc6og1bu3w]

Have you studied the breakpoint of attack in landslides

[@ThomAssDaTrain]

@user-nc6og1bu3w nah i dont go that deep. I just max out atk spd as much as i can.

[@DerrickDevine]

I've run a 120 with this build but haven't found even a single triple GA item that can be used with it. You must have spent lots of gold on perfecting this because no one person I've ever known has found that many triple GA items.

[@ThomAssDaTrain]

@DerrickDevine Druid isnt very popular so my items were relatively cheap. Gold as inflated like crazy now. But all my gear was 600m or less or self found, and the amulet was the most at 1.5bil. Just use diablo.trade and sell and buy gear.

[@DerrickDevine]

wasn't looking at the gear you had but the gear you reference in the planner...just saw the end of the video. Still more than I've seen this season as far as gear and all I run is druid.

[@ThomAssDaTrain]

@@DerrickDevine just try to get the same affixes on the items. I put them all GA so i can see theoritical max to push me towards achieving max
