I want to try anomalous boneshatter since ashes of the stars released. In 3.16 stacking reduced stun threshold and stun duration needs too much investment, but with ashes of the stars anomalous boneshatter itself has 50% reduced stun threshold, which allows me use a good weapon.
The build was functioning as expected. I can stun last phase Sirus for several secs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpkZZBflLMc
But I didn't really expect a meme build to go this far. I tried once before this video and died to crit/phy dmg reduction Kosis on wave 25 four times, with lvl 4 awakened brutality and a rare astral plate (onslaught on hit/attack crit/additional curse). Then I lvled awakened brutality to lvl 5 (gives chance to crush, -20% enemies phy reduction), switch to brass dome and basically doubled my armour.
My thought of anomalous boneshatter is that it's much weaker then divergent boneshatter overall. Anomalous bs can reach 25 trauma while divergent bs can reach 40-50 trauma, with 2% inc aps per trauma. Also since divergent bs hurts more, I would have much higher regen with it.
But stunning boss is fun. And stuns actually create a safer environment for the fight. For such a pure melee build with around 10-20m dps I would expect taking much more dmg w/o stuns.
