Sup,

thought I ll share my Starter after a while. Pretty straight forward Infernal Blow Slayer. Played Boneshatter the last 4 leagues on over 9 Chars and thought I needed a change. Some 2h Sword stuff because I love the Automaton MTX.

They re not too widely used for good reason. But since I am no Uber Farmer and happy with beating normal Maven I m fine with settling well below 10 Million dps.

I included some basic notes section for pathing and levelling through acts and early maps with basic gearing. Although I m not too good at explaining all the levelling strats, crafting, respeccing and gearing up stuff in short sentences. Therefore I left most out. Here I d say biggest priority is an Oros following with the Deceiver Belt.

Besides that, hopefully conservative pobs, you could tick a lot more conditional factors. But better keep that out.

Idea behind the build is to get big crits on the explosion when reaching max stacks. Attack Speed scales super well therefore. Although don t fall for Multistrike. One full Multistrike swing wont give you more than 1 Charged stack, therefore it s an actual dps loss here. Crit is naturally great for swords too. Big crits, with a low brittles from the swings applied and a Diamond flask we aim for an ideally 100% chance to crit with the Bop. The Bop will apply (hopefully) almost maxed Brittle, Sap and Scorch. They ll get refreshed each second due to the high APS to reach the 6 stacks. Good offensive boosts as well as a defensive boost thanks to Sap which is important for melee.

Beefy enough because I hate dying. I am playing HC as well as SC, usually clearing everything non ubers. Endgame gear fits roughly with what I end the league with usually.

Defense is overleech, good armour and hopefully capped Spell suppression, Fortify and high max res. Some Phys as Ele taken crafts should smoothen it out a bit.

Open to some pathing ideas since I am not sure if t s possible to cap suppression somehow with only 1 wheel + mastery... and all the other stuff. cheers. Or fit in Arctic Armour. I d say the build isn t for everyone because it scales heavily with investment regarding single target.

cheers
