sanavix's Notes
Since I haven't tested this in-game yet, I'm labelling it as 'Theory' rather than 'Build Guide', but it looks very promising.
I didn't play Minion Pact + BV in 3.28. Poison BV was one of the first builds I played many leagues ago, and I thought it'd be fun to revisit it with the Phrecia ascendancies and the craziness of Minion Pact. Here's what I've got: https://pobb.in/G4CdUCB7qbZ4
Some notes:
- League-friendly start, tanky endgame: I wanted something that could start out very league-friendly and then scale into lots of tankiness. I used Wafflez for inspiration (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM-IG1gwii0&t=244s) and built a loadout that's more realistic for day 2/3. My endgame version opts for more tank as well.
- Spectres: Using Unholy Aberration from Carcass for the spectre in the Lvl 93 loadout. Damageable minion life in the config section is 2x that of a simmed perfect meatsack (930,000). We swap to Perfect Dark Marionette in the Endgame loadout once you have enough scaling for its HP (400,000) to still DoT cap.
- Why CI: Wanted to go CI to help with some of the insane chaos damage ToTa bosses do. Plus, it's CI.
- Spell Suppression early: I opt for Spell Suppression early on since we don't have Aegis or the Glad ascendancy (via tattoo) to scale spell block and regen ES from block.
- Servant of Arakaali: Gives us some nice damage and defense scaling from webs. I'm running Envy to help with leveling, but we'll eventually drop it for Glad's More Than Skill via tattoo.
It's been so long since I've played BV I might actually run this for the event. Hope you all are having fun theorycrafting for Thursday :)
