@BabbleOn id love to try this but ya need the paragon board please :D

nice build man. am also running a rapid fire build, currently lv89. my load out is dash, poison imbue, shadow imbue, arrow rain, concealment, and rapid fire. if you dont mind some advice; swap out your crossbow for the next ancestral one you find, that alone will 5x your dmg output, can worry bout getting one with good rolls later. also make sure to always have crit chance on your rings. lastly i would recommend grinding out your renown, the extra 20 paragon points are massive as well as the 60 some dex/int (int increases your crit chance) you can get from the statues. could easily 10x the dmg output of this build with some minor tweaks and renown grinding.

I would swap edgemasters and repeating aspects. You would have 90% ricochet chance with it on your crossbow

I like rapid shot but it doesn’t ricochet much and doesn’t seem as cc effective as penetrating shot with the aspect that splits the arrows.

Rapid Fire Bros!!!

curious question, for boss fights, how can we consistenly proc vulnerable without puncture, since the glyph only afflicts vulnerable once every 20 seconds

With blast trappers aspect using poison trap.

After trying twisting blades poison rogue using preparation, momentum key passive with shadow clone ultimate with no witnesses paragon perk using all shadow clone effects I can’t play any other rogue. It’s so strong and fun. I turn bosses whole health bar into poisoned health in like two seconds and I can just walk away lmao.

I wish this kind of build had better access to vulnerability on longer fights. It does look like the extra damage from precision helps shore it up, though.

Vengeful aspect doesn't proc when placed on melee and you're only using the bow I think. The icon for added crit chance does not appear on the bottom

I've found that vengeful is one of those aspects that sounds and looks good but in reality is worthless in comparison to many other aspects. The damage or survivability of other aspects is far better even on builds for whom crit is very important like mine

@QuercusRobur44

Technically, he is using melee with Shadow Step and that at least is a guaranteed chance of a lucky hit, but the benefit seems miniscule - you need a lucky hit on a vulnerable enemy to have a 50% chance of giving you +3% crit strike chance? Surely there are better aspects around than that one.

It's an interesting build and having picked up both Frostburn and Hakan I'd love to try it out, BUT it is such a pain that there is no way to save character loadouts as there was in Diablo III, to enable players to switch easily between builds. I'm really enjoying the big punch from Penetrating Shot (with the combo specialisation) but with bigger hordes or faster monsters getting the breathing space to get three attacks out with Puncture in order to proc the Penetrating shot damage bonus is a struggle at times. Also, Watching the footage shows you running out of energy a few times near the end, so I suspect your method of recovering energy without a basic skill needs some work.

1. Get the aspect that gives you damage reduction when you use basic 2. Increase basic attack speed, this is very important for the basic proc rogue and will make it much 3asier to set up a fully stacked core attack. I imagine the difference between 3 basic attack followed by core or core without basic attack is probably much larger or vore attacks with multiple projectiles. As each projectile gets a damage increase plus you get more projectiles per shot. Using my barrage with a stack vs without is such a big difference I barely ever use my barrage if I haven't got 3 basic attacks done first. Which quite often procs with one basic attack due to the unique dagger. Quicker basic attack will also allow you to more often set of lucky shots with basic because basic has a much higher lucky hit chance than core.. If you use a poison imbeument and the bursting venom aspect for example it's really nice to have your basic attacks create pools of poison so you can keep resetting your poison imbeument. Try to get the unique dagger that gives you 30% chance to proc 3 stacks of basic with one basic attack + 40% extra damage for fully stacked core attack. Lastly people are sleeping on barrage. With focus on poison imbeument absolutely slaughters crowds and melts bosses in one shot (lv85 easily do NM 45 with barrage melting everything on my path)

If you're gonna use all these uniques, you might as well use a couple more right? Cowl of the Nameless for increased lucky hit and Temerity pants to keep barrier up for conceited bonus, this will free up the Protector piece for something else.

Temerity won’t do anything when you get to higher nightmare, dungeons and you get and you can get one shot it because one of the two or three pieces of equipment you can put on doesn’t have any damage reduction whatsoever which is temerity you will be super squishy, so that is why rogues do not use temerity

@godofchaoskhorne5043

Жыл бұрын

@@Bloody_Crusader What do you consider higher level NM dungeons? At NM40 temerity is doing fine. It might not give damage reduction but it basically gives you a permanent 80% base health as barrier. Which increases survivability and somewhat offsets the shitty stats. On top of that you combine it with the barrier damage aspect and you have 25/38/50% extra damage with a barrier. Temerity is really good. At least it has been since I've found it and started using it like 15 levels ago. I'm lv 85. No issue with survivability yet. I can literally hug the butcher and melt him in 4 or 5 shots of my poison barrage. While he can't even get through my barrier..

In theory it should do. I haven't tested myself, but knowing how dark shroud takes on the skill tree when you use umbrous (I think?), where you get free dark shrouds, it would make sense for all the imbuements to have the extra on top of you spec into it If so, shadow imbue having the extra non-phys damage would be amazing, plus cold imbue for bonus multipliers to crowd control.

How do you get Paris fire to be infinite. So many videos mention it but I can’t do it. Still drains my energy.

@BabbleOn

Жыл бұрын

Ah, so that's because of the modifier you pick up in the ability where you get 15 energy back per cast that hits a vulnerable enemy. As we are looking to make everyone vulnerable either with shadow imbue explosions or with the Glyph in paragon, we'll always get our energy topped back up. The ability costs 25, we get 15 back, so it only costs 10 energy per time. Once we get energy regen or energy refills from consuming shadows and other methods, it's basically infinite casts 🙂 - SongsOfRaze

It's important to get the exploit glyph ASAP. I'm running a deviation of this build and can steamroll all content. The core of my paragon boards are not all that different from penetrating shot as far as first 2 boards are concerned. but ya exploit early is a MUST.

5:54 there are alot off resources issues vs elites packs/captains when it is hard to wipe them all in 3 seconds, in those scenerios your exploit run out and u lose all your energy in 4 casts. To counteract this you can use the other shadow upgrade so that the explosions causing vulnerability. If you wanna go a step further you can use the direct dmg vs trapped enemies casues vul. I am running caltrops and 3 imbuements with this build rn, not having unstoppable sucks but I hate running into the energy issue even more.

I'm using the same build. and have also used the shadow clone version. And now I just started to wonder... Can the shadow clone use rain of arrows???

bruh you're on youtube looking at builds, no need to be snobby.

I was intrigued with the title, but when I saw where you placed the repeating aspect on your one hander and not your actual crossbow, because when you put it on your crossbow, you get 100%, which increases that percentage, which is vital for the build, I had to stop watching. Not to mention you put skill points into the alchemist for lucky hit that is absolutely useless.

@BabbleOn

Жыл бұрын

Appreciate the view and comment I must disagree on the repeating aspect being closer to 100% being vital for the build though. The repeating part is great for mobbing sure, but considering how fast and often you can cast rapid fire, it's not essential. I'd personally argue a larger damage boost is better for the build as a whole for single target and mobbing damage. While I don't know for absolute certain, I believe Edgemasters also affects Rain of Arrows for more damage as it affects all skills As for the Alchemists part of the skill tree, this has a number of effects it helps out with due to imbuements on the build. To name a couple: it helps innervation for more energy prices to keep topped up for edgemasters and overall energy costs, it helps with increasing the chance of stun effect for shadow imbue, and it also increases the chances of frostburns instant freeze proccing, giving us nice crowd control and damage increases. Alchemists and Second Wind combine with Rapid Fire's base lucky hit chance to make 50% chance to lucky hit which is huge Of course, these points could be moved around to other places if you'd like, but when frostburn is equipped I like the extra chance of proccing an instant freeze for bigger damage numbers combined with the build Hope that helps explain the choices 🙂 - SongsOfRaze
