[Lost Ark] 1620 Swift TTH Gunslinger Thaemine Normal G3

[@luukang1981]

I love watching your videos. What relic gear do you use?

[@dunknowanything]

I run dominion fang set and use master elixir. This setup requires conviction/judgment management and needs incredibly high APM to pull off a high-risk high-potential pull. It is also the theoretical ceiling of gunslinger dps but requires over 91% active frames uptime which is probably humanly impossible. Most folks tend to run hallucination set and critical elixir since that one is infinitely easier to play and is more consistent, but I find too boring.

Hey loved the vid you mind sharing your exact build with tripods gems and all from this video ?

[@dunknowanything]

It's basically this build: maxroll.gg/lost-ark/la-builder/bu7ey03e that I used for my solo vids, but I swap off catastrophe CD gem for AT04 nade DMG gem here, and swap bleed/conviction between nade and spiral.

@@dunknowanything I See thanks a lot you mind me asking a few questions since you seem like you do know a lot about TTH ? I can also ask them somewhere else tho more like a chat if you have time for that

[@dunknowanything]

@@elemental2374 I wouldn't necessarily call myself the TTH expert, I've only played swift TTH variant personally (since Sept. 2022) with minimal interaction with the spec variant. I can try to answer your questions to the best of my abilities here so others can also see if they have similar questions in the future.

@@dunknowanything Great! So For me I want to play the swift Hallu build coming from the 1800spec/600swift build which I thought would be the best solution for having a big burst but enough CD to compensate for the downsides of a purely burst oriented build especially having idk 25-32 secs of no burst so nothing to do other then click synergy Also I’ve come to realise that I really am not good at spec burst build I always want to burst right away but this needs planning for DR phases and mechs so I can squeeze in the most damage After all I still switched to the full swift build but I hate dominion set so I decided to take hallu instead since high floor but low ceiling (I don’t really plan to sweat to get to a theoretical ceiling myself) I would also like to ask what tripods/skills/ skill runes and what levels they should be if you had to build it yourself with my build variant (I know it’s a lot 🙏🏼) And idk many tell me a bit about the rotation or some tricks and tips for better play consider me a TTH noob kinda teach me some basics 😅🥲 Btw sorry for this enormous text 🤣

[@dunknowanything]

@@elemental2374 Let's begin with the main difference between DomFang vs. Hallu: DomFang requires conviction/judgment for 1) awakening casts and 2) MP. So DomFang users MUST take plasma bullet. Choosing any other skill will result in ~3% damage loss right out of the gate. Hallu users can thus take meteor instead of plasma. Meteor is actually the lowest priority skill and does less damage than AT04 nade over the whole fight. DomFang build just chucking AT04 nades with bleed rune on it does over 5% of your total dmg profile. This is the build I would use for swift hallu: maxroll.gg/lost-ark/la-builder/dk3590ce I've left out 1 tripod point that you can choose to max, like bleed on PS or MP on nade. The rotation you will always perform will be: AT04 > spiral > 2 skills > repeat. Assuming everything hits and bleed is on spiral, the first 2 skills actually makes up for more than 10% of this rotation. The 2 skills you can pair up depending on the situation (cata/focus + TD/PS + BR/meteor usually). You will want to "package" up mini burst rotations this way. AT04 natural cd and spiral with cd gem aligns perfectly. Ideally you will avoid using skills unnecessarily and only reposition as needed. Swift tth is probably more animation locked than any other gs build since you must commit to unloading an entire cycle or you do zdps. Using dextrous shot on swift tth is also strictly DPS loss so we only use spiral to apply crit syn. In my runs spiral alone gives me well over 95% uptime.

I'm having difficulty playing with PM, would this be an alternative build? I feel like my guns aren't doing the damage they should.

[@dunknowanything]

Gunslinger is just a weak class in general right now until T4, even well performing PM players aren't topping any charts. For reference, my gunslinger does about 3m less dps at 1620 than my 1610 striker. However, if you feel like you are struggling with PM rotations, I would recommend trying out the spec/crit version of TTH with the free engraving support as it is much easier to dish out consistent damage.

[@MrDanielFerreira]

@@dunknowanything I have the 5x3+1 build of TTH spec/crit, grudge, keen blunt, adrena, hit master and TTH x3, PM x1, I use nightmare in this build, but I use meteor stream in the build, any ideas?

[@dunknowanything]

@@MrDanielFerreira I strongly disagree with using nightmare for any TTH build as you need to spam skills to do damage and going into boundless kills your damage. I would go salvation or hallucination, and use both AT04 nade and meteor stream at 10. AT04 nade is insanely efficient damage, the highest damage per frame skill gunslinger has while dealing 1/3rd of meteor stream damage per cast. Spamming pistol skills is extremely important for TTH, for reference, bleed+spiral+plasma+AT04 nade contributes to 10% of your total DPS.

[@calamityow2]

hey, is it possible to upkeep your mana with only conviction/judgement and no mana food? ive been using nightmare swift tth for around a year now bc i didnt want to deal with mana food

[@dunknowanything]

I never have to use mana food for group or solo raids. I would run out in prokel and supless guardian.

[@calamityow2]

@@dunknowanything thanks man, tried your build vs mine and im getting roughly 20% dps increase

[@dunknowanything]

@@calamityow2glad it helped, but I think the difference shouldn’t be as big as 20% in real raids, boundless in trixion likely kills your damage. Burst wise it should be a bit stronger than the hallu version. If you still find yourself out of MP a lot 2nm4dom or 4nm2dom also works but you have to be extremely cracked to pull off 4nm.

[@calamityow2]

@@dunknowanything 20% extra dps in thaemine g3. the 18% cdr from dominion helps a lot, and so does conviction/judgement. I never actually have any downtime anymore

[@dunknowanything]

@@calamityow2 wow, guess nightmare is really weaker than I initially thought. Happy this worked out for you.

[@bugagadze]

you use adrenaline engraving, but where are the adrenaline buff stacks?

[@dunknowanything]

@@bugagadze I turn off the buff icons. This applies to adren and peacemaker for GS.

[@bugagadze]

@@dunknowanything Thanks, I didn't know you could turn it off
