Thanks again for the video. I'm not quite sure about ur trapsin gear. A pair of 2/2 or 3/2 at lvl 80 can be roll at Anya pretty easily. +3 traps ammy instead of fcr and a PDR belt, no really need for fcr because u don't have tele(Enigma) at lvl 80. I know it's hardcore but u can easily have a WoF at lvl 30+ at lvl 80...
@Futureal81 Жыл бұрын
Yeah thats fine, if you wanna spend some extra time gambling amulets or shopping for claws, thats your choice, and it may even be the best way to progress, but not everyone does that, and i wanted to show off how it would look without any specialised gear.
@DobrevBobi Жыл бұрын
Agree but it's still pretty weak I have also tested it myself. The most efficient trapsin build I ran into was Fire Blast with death sentry. Fire Blast just do way better than wake of fire early on, but it's just a hell cows build. Outside of density areas like cows you can't really rely on death sentry that much due to lack of many corpses.
@rox5051 Жыл бұрын
We love you Futureal ! thank for you videos. Here some comments on the testing. Trapsin - DS seems strong, but it is not early on. WoF kills 2-3 first cows but all other are at 15%hp. It is more fast to keep dragging cows into WoF and steamroll. less then 10min /run with leg grab is the goal here. For the gear, i think the test here might be not relevant. A fresh trapsin should easly get Treachery - ok (+2 skill) Ryme - ok on HC. in cows you shouldn't get hit, so dual +3claw should be the main goal here (missing +2/+3 skill here) Caster ammy - why ? Any gamble +1 is better. (missing +1 here) Lore - ok (+1 skill) Caster weapon - Why ? Anya farm should get you +2 all skill or +3 traps. (missing +1 /+2 more skills here) Caster belt - why ? Any resist + life belt should perfom better. So, the test should be with a +7/+8 all skill character. Sorc - You are right on builds, but if you are playing sorc and want to farm cows at start, player maybe reconsider his class choice. Light into arcane sanctuary is way more profitable on runes, you need to turn off your brain. The goal here is to get currencies really quick. Sorc may also farm keys and bosses to fillup gear stashes.
@Futureal81 Жыл бұрын
Its showed with this gear because its in line with the gear that i use on the other characters. If you want to invest some more time gambling for amulets, or shopping claws, thats fine, maybe even the best way to proceed, but as a fair comparisant, i couldnt show up in the cow level with +10 skills on the assassin, when every other class has +2. Not to mention that if you take an hour to get 2 claws and an amulet, thats an hour you didnt farm, wich could result in something greater :D

Why wouldn’t sanctuary aura help hammerdins? Dual wield a5 merc with the new rune word? Lowers magic res
@Futureal81 Жыл бұрын
Because its not just about what you gain, its about what you lose. The difference from having a sanctuary aura mercenary and not, is virtualy nothing. We tested it extensively on stream, and there is virtualy no dps output difference. Now, on the other hand, you lose 9% damage reduction from the act 2 merc, if you go for act 5. You also lose holy freeze from Doom runeword. In my mind, there is no real option between the two when you play hardcore. I will take 1% less damage output on my magic damage, vs holy freeze, much higher dps on my merc and 9% damage reduction from Defiance Aura.

Good stuff dude. About WSM bug - I also saw this in the patch notes, but I don't believe they can actually remove that. It's not a bug, but a game mechanic for dual-wielders. Would be curious to see if it has been actually removed - did anyone actually test? If indeed so, double-throw barb becomes one of the worst builds in pd2 after s6. There is no chance to reach final ias breakpoint anymore. Frenzy/Dswing also nerfed via that... sadge... it's a classic and pretty bad to see this go. Also, the strongest lvl 80 necro build, imo, would be the phys summoner necro, which you didn't test, maybe ( I didn't hear skelly war+archers build mentioned)? Also, day 1 I would be doing only nm meph and nm cows - you are bound to get +skills gear from good ol' meph.

I did test it, i was using 1 lacerator and one glaive with no attackspeed, and wich ever way i equipped it, unlike before, i had the same attackspeed.
