Always looking forward to these

Update: The Taiyi set is no longer farmable at the place I point out in the video.

Nice! Very informative!

[@daemonkisure2952]

I love it

[@fatapollo1557]

Very cool! Im working on my armor for this build now.. I'm struggling to commit because of the costs. I was thinking of going full Void harnessing on my armor and void dmg runeglass.. just to make the GA do a ton of dmg. Thoughts?

[@DerrekU2ber]

Imo it isn’t worth the loss in damage mitigation. Nobody runs void resist so I don’t really have problems getting kills. Gaxe does good dmg if you know the burst combos. I am currently testing switching from shower to storm tho because of a bug with shower that actually causes the walking animation (opposite of haste) when you walk through your own. A side effect of that change is more overall dmg

[@fatapollo1557]

@@DerrekU2ber Why would it be a loss? Since the IG is mostly support wouldnt you want all the GA dmg you can get? (void) Ive never ran harnessing gear so Im just guessing.. Thanks!

[@DerrekU2ber]

@@fatapollo1557 runeglass makes your absorption gems not as effective while harnessing takes up a spot that would normally be filled with a dmg mitigation perk. It’s a big loss of your “effective healthpool” to run these things.

ohhh I see what you mean! This is why I dont commit to anything haha@@DerrekU2ber

[@Raeraeiscooler]

question does ice pylon burst do the same base dmg if its on an armor pce? ik the % dmg goes up from the perk but im wondering if its still the same base 50weapon dmg or w/e

[@DerrekU2ber]

I’m not sure that I understand your question. It raises the dmg on the pylon hits and also the burst. Is that the info you’re looking for?

[@Raeraeiscooler]

so what i mean is like the aoe bonus damage does a certain amount of damage separate of the damage increase, already tested it out after i sent the message and yeah you dont really lose any damage from the pylon if you have the perk on gear@@DerrekU2ber

[@Raeraeiscooler]

the base dmg of the added aoe burst from the perk is the same minus 2% from the bonus @@DerrekU2ber

[@Raeraeiscooler]

was mainly wondering cause i like running healing tomb on weapon

[@DerrekU2ber]

@@Raeraeiscoolersorry I never replied to this. I still debate whether tomb or pylon is better but never went back to tomb.

[@mustang60348]

The question that pops out when I see these videos is "How are you hitting these people from so far away with a melee swing, I have to be near up their arse to hit in melee"

[@DerrekU2ber]

Great axe heavy attacks have something like 6-8 meters tracking distance!

[@mustang60348]

I understand that but that isn't my experience in game: my 'range' is no where near that.

[@preemptivefaceplant5277]

how were you swapping in between you weapons so fast when you were waiting for 3v3 to start?

[@DerrekU2ber]

I was bugged and couldn’t move at all in that clip lol

[@preemptivefaceplant5277]

@@DerrekU2ber damn

[@BigBirdThird]

I see so many people doing this still but you might want to consider replacing your thrust and slash gems for onyx. 1 slash gem and 1 thrust gem is the same as 2 onyx and you're getting strike protection as well.

[@DerrekU2ber]

My gems weren’t great in this recording, you’re right. Theyve already changed. I plan on upgrading some champions amulets with fire or slash protection when it becomes available too Edited spell error*

[@DerrekU2ber]

Little update- they nerfed champions amulet on the ptr so that shirking empower is locked instead of stam recovery. Rip to my plans!

[@xStewGaming]

Hello can i use this build for pve?

[@DerrekU2ber]

For most things yes but probably not the worm or an m3. I’ve run m1’s with it to farm artifacts.
