This is the old one cause you have a way different paragon board and I’m hitting no where near that

[@TheTastyMarmot]

4:41 can anyone explain why resource cost reduction is a multiplicative damage increase with kepeleke?

[@paulplaysgames6740]

Because you get damage x the amount of recourse that’s dumped on first attack when the gauge empties it dumps full recorce in one go and the amount dumped is multiplied. I’m not good explaining but you should have you gauge flicking up down like it’s glitching fast it’s the rod special feature other that core skill. It in return put all you power into the full recorce drop. So you put the ring with it the sun 50% refund on exit so you constarefillimg and dumping the gauge. Thus more recorce you have the more you dump into power its why the overpower works is well with a 50% ring and 3% and recorce on Kepekee you melt everything. The key is 50% on the ring to get the refund.

[@KiffJRockka]

edit: I agree with the comments, you understand the game better than Blizzard themselves. You got a new follower! Sadly enough no single meta build is a good build for a casual gamer, by the time we have built 20-30% of the build's full potential they already nerfed it and the build on mobalytics already changed, I'm stuck now with gear, items, stats, aspects, enchants from 4 different builds, I went back from T4 to T1 and I'm stuck in T1 because of it, I have no mats at all, even after doing 10 full whisper of tree runs I can only craft 2-3 items, Blizzard has lost the plot, they wanted to target the casual audience as PoE players won't even give it a try, but their nerfing habits makes this game ANTI-casual. Funny edit as I forgot to mention: After enchanting endless amounts of gloves I never seen +skills to Quill show up, just on one item I'm stuck at, needing to farm Whispers for days 😂

[@Kalahn54]

Don't chase after particular stats in the beginning, just try to reach the breakpoints of resource generatio, maximum resource and barrier% and you'll start doing 100s of millions of damage. Once you're at that level you can chase the items/stats you desire and slowly improve. Every single guide is based around these 3 breakpoints and a few nodes + glyphs in the paragon board.

[@erenbilgili6493]

I spent 250m gold and 35k masterwork mats and switched to late game shroud build with harmony of ebewaka and its working perfectly fine for me , armor + all res capped . Thanks for the build , gg .

[@Tsenngu]

Nick...You have showed us now all the bugs and made the most insane builds ever created in this game. I know there is alot of bugs talking together making this class completely insane but frankly i just use the early endgame build right now and no it does not do even close to this dmg but for me and my gear lvl you are INVINCIBLE...it is completely bonkers. I will hopefully slowly get up to this build sometime as im still barely in T3 but heck man ALL the builds you have this season i have started with at the bottom and slowly switching to your different builds and they are all so fun. I know it is buggy but hell bro im an old 50+ gamer and i love just having a good time now. Thanks for all your hard hard work to do all this.

[@Innocu0us]

240 vigor is really big for this setup, for Kepeleke + Lord Slayer's Talisman. Also 122.3% barrier bonus is big to help scale damage from the druid shield rune.

[@amd3636]

Nice video as alway Nick. its been great seeing your guides get even better over time. Firm handshakes.

[@chrisdfx1]

Where are you getting the 3 GA and higher rolls? I've been farming the torment bosses and I've gotten more Mythics that 2 GA rolls and zero 3 GA rolls.

[@Built4Anything]

Any plans to fully complete the paragon board for the build?

[@Kevin61733]

TBH Im kinda tied to my current set up as removing my pants helm or chest wont let me reach the barrier gen or max resource breakpoints. I know Im going to have to follow a guide to the T to get to a point i can interchange stuff without worrying about breakpoints but right now im just grinding out resources and doing pit runs to level up glyphs. This is the most damage ive done with any class so im just having fun with it. Not really a person that will be pushing higher pit levels but I plan on getting to maybe 100 then going back and creating my own builds just to test out stuff.

[@eddyzedios]

cannot wait for your speedfarm crushing hand variant. Keep doing a good job. We are all really appreciate your work.

[@mafuba92x]

How is the Build with false dead + Shako, Max Life , Ressource, 4 skillpoints. Not better than a normal aspect?

[@KidDynamite22]

Nick, great vids, I’m mostly following your mail guide about to transition to the 230+ Got all the glyphs to legendary, took hubris to 100 first to boost up the extra resource as much as possible, I also think the damage to vulnerable legendary effect is more useful than Menageries. Big question though for the rest of the glyphs what’s the priority for levelling from 46 to 100?

[@TELEVISIBLE]

Which state matter the most for the dps . Right now I only get 500B max , what make u able to hit T ?

[@brandonmau357]

I need your help Nic. Will you please do a Rogue 100 build video? I'm using dancing knives currently. Its alright but I wanted to see if you would have a better build or a perfected version of Dancing Knives. Thank you Nic.

On the build you swap out of Ebewaka, but I notice you still use the Colossal Glyph which buffs Gorilla skills. Is the Gorilla damage buff irrelevant or is there another way to make Quill Volley a Gorilla skill?

[@shlomi2i2]

If you don't use one of the first skills, how do you increase the mana endlessly? I'm a little over level 60 and I tried to go to your next guide but I couldn't figure it out

[@dz.audiovisual]

what's up with the stealth runeword, wouldn't it proc the mythic all of the time?

[@Stratman1987]

Not sure which paragon board I followed that was actually in your video here on youtube but I just wanted to say that the late game shroud paragon board on your current build link is drastically less damage than what you use in your actual video. I just did a respec to try it now that I have 230 points and my dmg dropped dramatically went from 2-4 trillion on big hits down to maybe 300B on big hits not sure why.

[@tylerdowns1470]

So how are you adding that many resolve stacks with tempering....? I can do 1-2 max

[@Lightning0803]

sorry i didnt catch that in the video, if you use ebewaka+shroud, for the pants, you should tamper resolve or resilent?

[@NikolaySrebrov]

My dilemma is between this and tyriels/tibaults/harmony build... Kind of want to try the second one too. Im using Shroud 230paragon build now. What should I do

[@constantinople2837]

I've heard it's opimal to use a tripple crit of each resolve and resilient, any thoughts on that? It's so hard to temper things and have mini panic attacks when you have 4 rolls left, after using scroll knowing youre about to brick an item you can't afford to replace, lol.

[@vincentFGC]

hey Nick, getting near the last few levels of paragon and wanted to know your thoughts on my last few points, should I go crit dmg/% dmg/or vuln damage for my last points? what our biggest dmg increase?

[@sinansakz1648]

The pargon in the video shown is different from the example in the link provided. I would be very happy if you show it in detail in the next video (paragon), thank you for your structure.

[@Mitchenzo282]

[@jocelyncastillo2761]

man bro your videos are goated we apperciate you brotha !!!

[@NhanNguyen-xk]

Anyone know how Jaguar primary count the 15 hits to proc? Does it only count one hit per cast? Or does it count all hits?

[@youngwang5546]

So the takeaway is that I need resilience on pants not resolve, if I’m using unique helm and chest. Damn, mine is 9 resolve right now

[@mechanical_koi]

Wouldn't a GA Shako with max life now be in the running for best helmet to use now that the max life is buffed?

[@soghotze]

If you get 7-8 resilent stacks on a normal helmet that means up to +40% life + flat life roll. So I don‘t thinks so

[@youngwang5546]

I tried swapping in shako my harmony helm for speed pits to grind paragon, and it felt like my damage dropped by 50% even, since harmony adds a 1.9x multiplier.

[@mechanical_koi]

His reasoning in part for swapping to shroud though is the life value, and a Shako now has the same life value plus it has max resource

[@youngwang5546]

is max HP the best stat for shako, or max resource or CDR? Which GA should i keep?

[@jmlight47]

@NickTew can I replace menagerist to hubris in sapping paragon board?

[@CrPBcon]

Is there any benefit going over 240 vigor?

[@ryanm.9396]

I think with the build guides changing so often the best thing for popularity to do would be to redo build guides to have @175 paragon @200 paragon @220 paragon versions. All the build guides are 250+ and not many people i know are that far even after grinding hard. Also rawhide bottleneck is keeping many builds from being fully master worked. I personally have 10k obducite but can’t use it because no rawhide. So stupid

[@aztechrex5275]

Yes! I totally agree

[@MrJukeboxking]

Legitimately wondering: how are people running out of rawhide? Are you guys repeatedly masterworking all the way up to 12 in attempts to get perfect rolls or something?

[@CookOldik]

Hello Nick. Want to ask a question. How do you get a shroud with max life GA? I mean any mythic got a low drop chance and more low chance to get a GA on a suffix what you need. What you do for a drop this and what you can reccomend to do for higher drop for ga myth? thanks

[@Carloshernadez1988]

It's easy go kill a tormented boss, go finish season journey and you most likely have 2 resplendent sparks go craft a mythic unique and goodlick to roll shroud thays how I got mine

[@Unburdened792]

Have you or anyone tested exactly what “Damage to XXX” stats affect Convergence? For example I have +100 to every category of element, stands to reason I wouldn’t need Fulminate to hit the 150 breakpoint. Thoughts?
