Weeping Wounds Lightning Strike Slayer - The Strongest Budget Slayer Guide You'll Ever Find in 3.25

[@MasterT_]

A close friend's dad recently passed away, and I have been there with the family helping them grieve. This guide was supposed to come out weeks ago and I apologize to everyone waiting for it, it was a very sudden incident. There unfortunately won't be a spreadsheet for this build right now, I will get around to making one later I am mostly just too drained and need a break, I just wanted to get this out there for anyone that is starting late or wants to try playing this build at a high functioning level without having to lose their job farming for it. Hope it helps, please keep my friend's dad in your thoughts and prayers, thank you. For any questions about this, i will be available in the discord [linked in description] and will be responding to all the comments

apprecaite the guide bro and sorry about your friend's dad. can you explain the rage on attack hit for the claw when you have time?

[@MasterT_]

@@akfodie40 The rage on "attack" hit makes it so all parts of our attack give us rage, so even if we dont hit with the Melee part our projectiles will still give us rage. This makes getting up to max rage far smoother and safer in t17s because majority of the time you'll either not be in melee range, or your projectiles will kill everything. to summarize, its just to make things smoother to be at maximum potential damage easier

Basically this version is what Ben has been doing all along. It's superefficient and not overly expensive.

[@MasterT_]

tincture with blood soaked too sketchy was he really doing that in hardcore?

@@MasterT_ Well it's ben we're talking about. :D

@@guitarsolos89 It is, but it's also Hardcore we're talking about and that tincture degening life gets Very spooky very quickly i would never risk that on hc

Very helpful video, thanks for your effort!

1000edps claw with hits cant be evaded will alone cost around 80div...

[@MasterT_]

Who said anything about 1000 edps, build is using a 540edps claw and isnt even double t1 flat ele dmg. Just buy a fractured t1 attack speed imperial claw for 2 div, and spam essences until you hit t1 or t2 flat for another element. prefixes cannot be changed, scour, multi mod, craft hits cant be evaded and strength/int + crit, done. or buy a crafted one for 12 13 div on trade if u dont want to spam essences, but you will 100000% craft it for cheaper than that unless you get horrifying unlucky multiple times

Good job on the video really comprehensive guide and good budget version of popular build. Two things worth nothing. 1. Skitterbots do not work with yoke, as skitterbots are not us. Skitterbots are still good themselves and work with taming 2. Trinity gives gains resonance of two other elements, so we need really to deal damage with two elements to take advantage of the gem not 3

[@MasterT_]

Yeah skitterbots are strong enough on their own and they do work with the tamings. Yoke works with the secrets of suffering ailments and bleed/poison. Resonance still gives you resonance of all 3 elements even though yeah it only needs 2, so its still good to Have a third element in there to utilize the benefits of the damage you'll get from it

I have an MB and wanted to try running this build with Svalinn. Is that compatible with your setup or should I use a different setup if I want to use those items? The rest of the budget is also a bit higher, 50 div excluding tamings/yoke/ralakesh and clusters since I have those already. Also, my condolences. Take care of yourself.

[@MasterT_]

You would need to adjust the passive tree a little bit to get more block chance to make svalin worth it, and you might have to skip spell suppression in that case or be okay with lucky suppression mastery being the thing that caps you out. Also, a mageblood would only help cap your resistances and give you a stronger onslaught, so you can use your gear suffixes for other mods like attack speed and damage while leeching max frenzy gloves, if you have the budget for it and thank you for the kind words

[@prahaladgiridhar6788]

@@MasterT_ I'll have a look, thanks. I can just use a HH instead if the gear with the offensive suffixes is too expensive.

[@mattc3581]

What atlas/scarab setup are you running in the vid, nice lot of scarab drops it seems?

[@MasterT_]

2 Divinity 2 Mirrored Rare 1 Horned Dont have access to my exact passive tree but it was every map effect node, All the scarab nodes even the small scarab pathing nodes, blocking bad scarabs, and the rest was eldritch altar and influenced pack size

[@CreedPVP]

what would i go about changing to run this with headhunter?

[@MasterT_]

Nothing, you just wear it. Maybe fix fire res with a jewel

[@Isoomax]

can u use headhunter with it or is it bad ?

[@MasterT_]

Nope you 10000% can use hh with it and it's great
