I had only like half implemented this with purifying on earring, I got lucky on ring with (Ice dmg, hearty and cleanse) along with tomb IG but I was rocking the medium legs for big stats thinking I needed it more. I was looking at that helm but damn that's good. nice build! I see the good sides but think the rapier without pene backstab isn't strong enough anymore perhaps im wrong though
Appreciate it! You can run penbackstabs if you want but imo it actually doesn't matter this patch, we got so much damage with the rapier than we've ever had before that at this point if you or anyone is still having trouble with rapier it might be something that you could be doing better with the weapon. No shots at you or anything but if you or anyone has been actually practicing the fundamentals with rapier this entire time throughout the game, with just increased stats alone any rapier player should be able to kill with like a green rapier, on base damage increase alone
Like in my opinion you really wanna be looking at what the rapier perks are actually doing with ur build and looking for things to mesh with your playstyle, last patch officers ceremony was just bis because rapier felt so weak, but now I'm going to run a pen backstabs rapier with like sundering riposte as well on my rapier/gs build and go for the original idea on that with alot of rends and big backstabs, the rapier im running currently on the rapier IG fits perfectly into this particular playstyle because all of our damage comes from the entirety of the rapier being that im using a support oriented ig weapon setup, so rather than trying to buff my backstab damage which realistically im only behind someone like 50% or less time during a fight on this build, omni vicious and shirking buff my damage the entire time, whether im evade comboing from the front or sides, fleche and fnf damage, etc. We truly have all of the tools available to us as rapiers now and it truly wouldnt hurt exploring things :P
Very true it's not that it's required wrong choice of words there but we're seeing a lot of 350 con flails + blunder/GS/GA/WH and it's heavy heavy armour, I run the same IG setup with the main purpose of controlling their movement and chasing their backs. I found this style works really well for me but I can totally see your setup, I'll stick with this rapier for now cause ive spent the dark matter but I guess any thoughts on the datamined IG artifact? or just don't think on it until it actually comes? @@DanzoPVP
Do you have a discord or thought about starting one? I’ve had some questions about builds etc and would be nice to see updates builds without going through a video every time 😊 love the content ❤
Hey brother how are you getting enough dark matter to upgrade anything the current cost is a little insane. I had this exact same idea I got the helmet a couple days ago
I've only upgraded 2 things so havent spent that much, but I just play the game alot tbh, you get from alot of sources but im not grinding to upgrade a bunch of stuff
Imo you can take this concept and put it with any weapon combo. I was planning on trying it on a SnS/Spear medium armor build as well as a rapier/greatsword seat up. It’s gonna be pretty universal I believe
@@lhatten512 with the weight of a round shield, to keep it light all slots wpuld have to be light armor. What artifact do u plan to run with that spear sns build?
Totally agree that most underestimate the damage that these dot debuffs are stacking on top of the big numbers we all pay attention to!
i like the commitment on that build thats cool !

Why not 150 dex and 300 int? That would buff your ig damage a lot, and afaik you get the same or even more damage with the rapier
cuz he wants the 300 dex passive, that literally what this vid/build is about..

Weekly worm gives 300
I've only upgraded 2 things so havent spent that much, but I just play the game alot tbh, you get from alot of sources but im not grinding to upgrade a bunch of stuff
I had 1.5k opr caches and spent 2 hrs opening and salvaging for 2.2k dark matter
And now I'm going to clean out all my pre expansion gear which should get about 2k as well
Ifrequently get dark matter from the pvp track :-)
Thought about this as a healer. Loosing debuffs, expecialy disease should be pretty strong.
If you were to run this build with different weapons, what would you choose (or is it solely IG / Rapier capable)?
Imo you can take this concept and put it with any weapon combo. I was planning on trying it on a SnS/Spear medium armor build as well as a rapier/greatsword seat up. It’s gonna be pretty universal I believe
Anything with IG would work pretty well, or any other weapon combo that has cleanses built in either through the weapon or weapon perks
@@lhatten512 with the weight of a round shield, to keep it light all slots wpuld have to be light armor. What artifact do u plan to run with that spear sns build?
Oh i see u plan to go medium
@@valegrumby yea u would have to go medium in that set up. If you wanted to play it in light I’d go tumbler boots I think.
