4th ANB for me. 2nd on BH. Playing on an iPad Pro. Had a gem surplus which I used. Even spent some money for books. Went with a full Demo 6 pc instead of the more common Havoc Head/Gloves and 4pc Demo. I used 2 Havoc/4 Demo for XP/XG. 6pc Demo to push. I do not have Lily unlocked and did not get an early drop so I went with a Crit build. Crit is one thing that still feels low in the build, though I think it is on. Every piece of gear and maybe one enchant? Also running Qol which is probably sub optimal, but there is really no way I am going to keep up Bomb stacks from Explosive Shot and take advantage of the Lethal dmg bonus rotating manually while also moving and throwing abilities on a touch screen. You can really only do one thing at a time on a mobile as far as I can tell. I decided not to use the Vial of Winds because I noticed that in other builds it was doing a lot of the damage and I wanted a build that did not rely on that. Think it works better with Lily in any case some I dont think it crits. Dunno if that is accurate or not.
I am new to the game and happy with the outcome. Got my CTs and two 77s, though I would have liked a 77 Chest. Think I unlocked the CD talisman with Glory, saving the rest. Probably won’t make it to 120.
I have about 40 minutes left and feel a bit stalled at 118, though my numbers look like I shouldn’t be. My numbers look pretty good to me (looking through my newb eyes). I posted my LB so you can go look up my gear and numbers if you so wish. (Funny that Pewpew and Pewpewpew are right next to each other on the LB at that moment. No connection and Pewpew seems to be a Stalker build.) I have really begun to notice the impact of CL, Medals and of course 77s. I have crafted ok jewelry, but not used a bunch of gemstones doing it. That is something I still need to do, but if you have gold then crafting jewelry during events is a pretty good thing to do since it takes no play time and is happening while your skills build. I used books, but also waited a lot for skills to level.
The Demo build is pretty fun. It is also a Lethal Shot build as you can see from the dmg. Since I am not using Havoc, I don’t use Heatseekers. I use Snipe instead. SNipe only does a small portion of direct damage, but with RF buff it is lethal, and the build benefits from killing single targets amongst the pull. There is some sort of stack between things that when it adds up on a single target/boss it does a great deal of burst damage. I am not sure what does this. I think it is a combo of Tracer stacks and buffs including Molten, Rapid Fire buff, Snipe and the way Bomb stacks effect dmg.? Boss fights are often just going along piece by piece and then suddenly a bunch of their health is just deleted. I think its when all the stacks align for a Snipe and the Snipe DoT. Of course with large mob pulls you stack the bombs and then Rapid Fire with Lethal Shot followed by Snipe into it, which detonates the entire pull usually wiping them out in the process. Takes a while to build though. At higher levels I sometimes have to repeat the process a few times. Have to get everyone ‘infected’ with a bomb. Not “instantaneous” like Stalker or Mages ELR. I am learning to pull the bomb group along bringing in new mobs, but I still die during the pulls at higher levels sometimes. Don’t die much in boss fights with this build.
The 6pc Demo means that you have 5X50% damage bonus from Sticky Bombs up most of the time. In large pulls you still want to focus a single target since a Bombed target dying places bombs on everything in your magnetic trap. This is why I think Rapid Fire (Lethal) ->Snipe with Piercing Ammo is better for pulls. I feel it is certainly better for Bosses, but could be wrong. I could probably up my AR, but I already struggle to keep up while having to move all the time to survive... even though Pew is pretty tough. He can tank TBD Overflow at 117, meaning he can fight right next to him and avoid the ground attacks. Just have to move for breath attack.
Anyway... here is my attempt with 40 minutes, left. Only two - 2x Havoc/4x Demo builds in the top 100 I think. At least one of those was a Lily build last time I looked. Don’t think I will make it into the top100 or to TL 120, but still pretty happy and def had fun. All roasting, criticism, helpful suggestions, songs and poetic efforts are welcome.
