Shouty Boltcaster Build Season 6

[@mohawk8316]

SHOUTY THE GOAT! 🐐🔥 NICE video, bro! Keep it up! This is seriously gonna help me nail my Bolt Caster build-you're making it look EASY! 🙌💯

[@Shoutyboy91]

thats the boy!!!! lets go!

[@Jimi-Funkycold-Molina]

I don’t you want to mix up the electrified runeglasses. Looks like you picked topaz so on the armor you’re only building up lightning resistance. I put electrified ruby. Gives me my 2% lightning damage and fire resistance as well

[@Santino-Tv]

How do you get 150 con 150 int and 350 dex, i can only make my character to 60con 150int and 350 dex

[@Shoutyboy91]

You use attuned leather pants. And a 48 con rabbit meal. All your gear needs to be at least 31+ stats to hit it. Easier now that you can get 42 stats on most 725 artifacts.

[@Santino-Tv]

@@Shoutyboy91 ah okay got it. Thabks

[@LtKrumbz]

What you think about rolling Spear instead of Rapier? I feel like Spear isnt as strong... maybe just me.

[@Shoutyboy91]

ive played spear with bow, fun secondary, i do believe youll have more mobility with rapier, i used to play spear and hit people with a jav toss.. if you land it , it guarantees a free explosive arrow. end of the day play what you enjoy and if you are better with spear, play the spear over rapier or hatchet ect.

[@MrCthom25]

I love the original bow/spear from launch but unfortunately with the currently hatchet meta it isn’t as good. The mobility on rapier is just so much better. I even tried a bit more utility with cyclone on my spear for the heal but it still feels meh compared to rapier

[@LtKrumbz]

@MrCthom25 yeah I ran thr cyclone perk heal as well, it feels gutted sadly. Suppose only option is Boltcaster Rapier until I get gorgon bow to run lifetaker meta with ele band..

[@Mike-fr7nt]

U got a link where we can check the build out ?

[@Shoutyboy91]

Thats what this video is for sir!

[@GimmieGALKGALK]

@@Shoutyboy91 you didn't go over the chest or the gloves. I also had to turn the playback speed to .25x to see the helmet spec. Very informative video but he wasn't wrong on trying to learn the build. im assuming you just go for obviously lightning harnessing, enchanted ward and slash or thrust conditioning.

[@Shoutyboy91]

@ chest piece if running attuned pants will be a light piece with any of the following perks I mentioned. Lightning harness , enchanted ward , ele averaion , thrust/ slash / flame conditioning, health, any of those work. The helm for featherweight will want to run a heavy piece of frigid dawn. Throw a 3rd perk on it.

[@albinouwak4363]

arent you gonna hit empower cap with full harness on all gears?

[@Shoutyboy91]

you hit empower cap with 10% from lightning harness, 10% from runeglass, 7.1% ring, 7% honing stone, 15% from evasive tactics in the skill tree.

[@albinouwak4363]

@@Shoutyboy91 Why does some pips says its not worth to go 150 int on boltcaster rather go full dex + con with 25 str i have tested this and in fact 150 int deals more dmg on light and heavy attacks i just dont understand why majority of bow users thinks its not worth it btw thanks for answer my first question ez sub mate

[@Shoutyboy91]

@@albinouwak4363 Appreciate you sir! i believe it scales better in junction with the 350dex . youll start to see diminishing returns the more dex you pump so dumping into the int tree while running an elemental damage build helps out with additional damage! running 25str for those quick light attacks is definitely viable as well!

[@GhostManCutlery]

Dex is most damage as dex adds base damage to the bow which all abilities are based off of and your heavy attacks are based off of. You’ll get more damage for abilities etc from dex scaling, and with 50 str and dex will have the best heavy and light attack dmg.

[@Shoutyboy91]

@ 50 str bonus doesn’t apply to bow because in the game text a bow heavy attack is listed as a drawback. You don’t get the bonus from 50 str but you do get the 25. It’s pretty dumb but that’s just how it is. It should count but it doesn’t as far as last time I tested it. 350dex 150 Int 150 con with attuned pants is by far the most damage build in the game right now with boltcaster. Not only are you getting max damage from dex but you’re getting to dip into Int as a damage bonus. The diminishing returns on over 350dex isn’t worth going more

[@mb_812]

would this work for pve content as well? like m3s/raids

[@Crusefai]

no

[@Shoutyboy91]

most likely not, this is catered to PVP, if you wanna run pve bow id recommend running rapid shot with the bottom passive to get unlimited resets on the skill. bow isnt the greatest for m3's imo

[@deathshade777]

How do you have so much extra stats even without attainment. I’m in 700 gear with a couple 725. I’m only able to get 350 str 100 dex 125 con.

[@Shoutyboy91]

make sure youre running attuned pants. and your gear is Dex/con based.. you wanna get to 102 con total. ( 48 con food to hit 150 ) the rest go into the other areas 350dex 150 int.

[@Kerek77]

I prefer trenchant rend with flurry on rapier. If I land a riposte into a heavy, the flurry is gonna hit harder and heal me for more Trying to get hoplite bow to use with VG and DoT build, looks fun

[@Shoutyboy91]

definitely can choose alot of different routs on the rapier! sounds like a high burst counter attack!

[@shadowynz]

shirking heals?

[@Shoutyboy91]

Currently working on a shirking heals build! Will push out a video when I have a somewhat optimized build with some clips to showcase it! 🤝

[@joaquinmenchaca3086]

Flurry without putting bleed 🩸 undermines its full potential. No rapid shot w bolt caster also limits the full potential. Also, elemental band seems to be a better choice than endless thirst.

[@Shoutyboy91]

You cannot proc the bolt with rapid fire. So many people don’t know this. Elemental band is useless when you’re at empower cap 95% of the time. Id rather have the flat 7% from lightning damage and add a flat damage perk like invig punish vs keen awareness.

[@timlindbergh5646]

Great video!!

[@Shoutyboy91]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@DooM_TC]

Isn't Lightning Harnessing more on the pointless side to have since we are hitting empower cap already with all the bow's passive buffs + Dex attributes bonuses + ring + runeglass?

[@Shoutyboy91]

The only passive in the bow tree that gives "empower" will be evasive tactics (15 %) the bonuses youre referring to in the skill tree are "base damage" multipliers. they are 2 different damage buckets. all of those are located on the right side part of the tree. therefor harnessing is needed to hit 50% "empower" cap. while you can hit a total of 55% base damage boneses. (seperate bucket).

[@ricardobrandino4403]

i'm playing 200 con bow/sns with light eqiup (Featherweight), sword with Contagious Upheaval, its amazing for duels and 3x3 arena

[@Shoutyboy91]

Love the sns bow. I played it aswell. Very fun and lots of survivability !

[@Moonraku-k6k]

I use a similar build, with nature's wrath, is it good?

[@Shoutyboy91]

That armor has been nerfed into the ground a few times, id either play attuned pants or featherweight overall better options.... although youre definitely able to still play it.. i think the other 2 options are more viable in the current state of the game.

[@Moonraku-k6k]

@ thank you

[@znzero7]

Informative!

[@4dchessplayer516]

I am running 50str 150 int 150 con or 100 depends and rest dex.........I am more of a back lines anyways so I don't die if ever.

[@tastypagpag6658]

fire

[@zaza_ftl]

i just cant see why people use this build over lifetaker and any damn bow. lifetaker will weaken armour 30% percent and add dot dmg. 3 stacks. its so broken its just dumb af

[@Shoutyboy91]

@@zaza_ftl preference most likely. Dot damage imo is pretty boring. But someone else may think that’s fun and that’s coo! As long as you having fun with it 🤝

[@deathshade777]

No rapid shot on boltcaster boooo

[@Shoutyboy91]

fun fact, rapid shot is great, but it doesnt add stacks to bolt with each hit! try it out!
