Interesting build! I always enjoy Fire Skills but usually end up with Fire Wall and/or Meteor. I always found Hydra to be underwhelming, but I suppose you just need a ton of points to make it beasty!

@smalps-gaming 7 ай бұрын

hydras are beasts vs bosses too. They do so much dmg to single target.

@MrDukeharry 6 ай бұрын

I would highly suggest timing at least one meteor for every pack of mobs and ESPECIALLY in cows, where herding big flocks is more efficient than pulling 5 at a time. Yes, it can be wonky with console targeting, but you get used to it. Good video 👍

Solid build, i was worried when i saw eschutes but that phoenix came in clutch. I usually go for a -30res crystal sword but what you did was good too. If i could id go crystal sword, phoenix, flickering flame. For a -78 with sunder and the infinity would add a bit more. Would just make it soo soo good. I absolutely love fire builds, ive done meteor, wall, just pure fireball, pure hydra etc. Lots of fun, just super gear dependent or only good for certain areas and thats the draw back 🥴

@smalps-gaming Ай бұрын

appreciate the feedback. All my builds revolve around QOL. I understand wanting to use a faceted up build, but IMO, it would have been too big of a hit on QOL for what I had. If I had life skillers, then I could use the small charms to get more res on the build, but as is, it was kinda squishy still. Redemption kinda gives you a false sense of security because your life/mana are usually full, but less than 3000 HP can be scary. In my setup, it's calculated to do more dmg vs P8 Baal than a 6 perfect faceted CS setup. Let me know what you're getting.

How was the build pre Phoenix and infinity? Changed my mind last minute about skipping the new ladder season and my stubborn ass wants to start with a hydra build instead of gearing up first... might cave and throw in orb until i get enough gear if going pure fire is a big enough struggle at first

Hydras are still very strong. And with full tals set it can carry you for a while. Phoenix is just much better QOL

Nice one. D2r is such a completely different game on controller. Wish we had those cube mechanics on PC. Auto aim is sweet also.

@smalps-gaming 8 ай бұрын

Both are very nice QOL things. Picking stuff up right to the cube. But there are some things that are not great on console. Like teleporting short distance. But overall, its great. One major thing that could be seen as a positive or negative, is no chat. Ive seen some PC games were people get really nasty and territorial about TZs haha! Because there is no chat on PS5, or Switch, you don't get hate. Pretty cool. So when you "steal" a griffon drop, no one gets mad.

For higher DPS I would switch to obsession in +3 to fireball staff and enigma for higher magic find and added strength plus you'll save some points on the strength you can dump to life or energy (when running ES). I personaly like 75% ES and dump points into energy to hit around 3k mana. You should hit 105% FCR pretty easily with just staff+gloves+belt and that would open another options for rings (dual SOJs) and amulet. You can also change to frostburns and keep 2/20 amu for even higher mana. With high mana you'll have very high regen. And I would use prayer merc to heal me. On switch you can use CTA in staff with +3 to ES (you can save some skill points here). That would be an engame build for me.

@smalps-gaming 8 ай бұрын

That is def an option and completely different haha! I did test having max mana and points into ES, but it didn't feel as good or safe. Going max vit with max res felt a lot better for me in this setup. Also, Not going to find a +3 fireball staff for obsession. haha

@B0Besh 8 ай бұрын

@@smalps-gaming the trick with ES shield is not to put all the points there only around 70 - 75% absorb and then dump rest into telekinesis for consumed mana and then try to balance when you feel safe enough. I had the phoenix build but I think you're losing on fcr (compared to spirit) and maybe dps (questionable since it has fire pierce). My idea for another build is to have dual phoenix. D2planner is showing some crazy dps numbers 32-35k fireball damage with -76 fire pierce, but it's hard to hit 105% fcr.

@smalps-gaming 8 ай бұрын

Yea I get it. I don't always go for max DPS in my builds. I go for the highest DPS while maintaining a high QOL. The issue when I was making this build is that, you couldn't get many points into TK unless you totally dropped Hydra. Which is a huge source of AOE and single target dmg. I am hitting 105 FRC with the build. So the balance of 105 FRC, 21k fireball dmg, 47 fire pierce, and full and over capped res, was nice. The only thing I would like more is life skillers. Then I could have 3k life, full res, which would be great in my opinion. I felt like trying to make ES on the build was sacrificing too much dmg.

@smalps-gaming 8 ай бұрын

When looking at D2 planner, compare the time to kill vs like Diablo or Baal, and not just the DMG number. Because yes, with SPirit, and 2x soj, the fireball dmg is 25k, vs 21k but you are actually doing less dmg because you don't have as much -EFR. Then if you didn't have Hydra, you are doing even less DPS overall. It's important to play test these builds and not just plan out a build on D2planner.

I haven’t tried the Demon Machine. When I saw videos of it being played it looked clunky to me. Not as smooth as fireball. And not to mention, i really like the support of Hydras as they are so good vs bosses and single target. It just felt like it had a higher quality of life and more fun playstyle. But it’s similar. Point and shoot. Check some vids of demon machine and see how it plays.

Yes more dmg, but QOL will suffer. Since this is a vita build going for max res. Now also keep in mind that +2 all skills is 14% FM dmg. Ormus is 15%. So the difference is +1 to fireball and 1% dmg. Yes you can facet it, but still a small difference.
