Just Discovered Most Amazing Build Ever

Not going to tell anyone about it because I don't want it nerfed.

 

Hint: (Edit) REDACTED

 

'Nuff said.

You are a tool.

[Marigoldran]

LOL.  Ok, fine.  A hint:

 

ROGUES and Blunderbusses.

[Marigoldran]

Actually people have already done it.  The idea is simple:

 

Arterial Strike + Rogue + Blunderbuss.

 

Use blunderbuss to activate Arterial Strike and Gouging Eye on a group of enemies.  

 

Then run away.

 

The enemies die chasing after you.  Add in the Paladin ability: Brand for even more DOT damage (was running a Holy Slayer) and you can kite everything to death and you're tanky and can heal yourself.  

 

Add in alchemy and it's even more OP.  

 

Works from level 10 onwards.

Why blunderbuss?

[Marigoldran]

Multishot.  Kitchen Stove and Hand Mortar.

 

Guarantees that your DOT (arterial strike) hits the primary target, and oftentimes will hit 2-3 other targets, too.

Not even close to a Druid with Plague of Insects and high Alchemy. Anything dies in seconds without running anywhere xd

I talked about AoE weapons (WoEP, Wahaī Pōraga, Hand Mortar, Minor Blights, Spirit Lance) + rogue's DoTs in at least four threads in the last 7 days.

 

Not so secret anymore I guess.

 

Also works with Battle Axes (without being a rogue) but it takes a bit longer. But one decent Full Attack with Battle Axes will lead to 150+ raw damage (over 60 secs).

 

Causing everlasting DoTs and running away is powerful - but it also feels cheesy and a bit lame and gets boring after a while - at least for me. Still the AoE appliance of DoTs is very cool. I mean you don't have to run away. It's also nice for a normal fight without running away.

Herald is hiding nicely since now all fire focus is on rogue

Spoken too soon, you'd better find a new slaughtermachine now.
