Quick Tip to easily find out If a skill can shotgun: get your poison Chance to 100% and use Herald of Agony, If you now hit a single enemy with it you can See how many Virulence stacks you got from your herald. This way you can also Test your optimal positioning for your Skill
Hi little idea just got to my head when you tried to solve shotgun effect. Just tried it out with hydrosphere, if shattering steel hits it it's gonna shatter so placing it before u and little bit before boss will solve the problem just by using hydrosphere ^^
you can always swap this build for lancing steel with a bit more investment to destroy endgame after you gathered enough currency. Mechanics are similar
I just found out about this game and started playing. I learned there is splitting, shattering and lancing steel. I know this is a noob question but, is there a way to link them and if so would it even be worth it or a waste of time?
This is the difference betwen POB warrior and functioning build. Sure, you can pump the DPS in POB two maybe three times, but the way the game interact with this skill will make you actually lose DPS. Thanks for the video, I'm planning shattering steel in scourge league, not usre if berserker or chieftain. I would be funny if GGG reverted this change to the previous one, where it shotguned at the beginning, thus justifying the nerf, but didn't announced it.
One tip, you don't need impale support, ascendancy, skill tree and most important gems cap your impale chance, anomalus splitting steel has 60% chance to impale alone.
yeah, i doubt that those 4 explosions (with already decayed damage) will deal as much damage as 1 starting projectile with Point Blank and no damage decay
How does the aoe part of shattering steel interact with point blank? Is it still counted as projectile so enemy hit with farer part of aoe deal less damage? Or the aoe damage snapshot from the original projectile shatter?
I don't know the EXACT answer to this, since I couldn't find any source that answer this, but from my 3 league worth of experience, I feel like the damage snapshot at projectile shatter. Reason being, I do feel the damage increase at MAX distance WITH point blank, so I'm about 90% sure on this one.
@@meteormemori Actually i meant that on ur video, u're using The Saviour sword.... 4 ex, no 6 link, super duper strong.. buuuut.... u need The Saviour. Cool. And u recommend it as league starter.... Just wtf. Even without Saviour, who in hell will start new league with such "build"
@@salvadorscar6057 Well I've league started with this build with more tuning. This is the video explaining everything. Hopefully it helps. th-cam.com/video/5qQ6LtutvIc/w-d-xo.html

That's correct. In my newer videos on this build, I did swap out Impale support for more damage.
yeah, i doubt that those 4 explosions (with already decayed damage) will deal as much damage as 1 starting projectile with Point Blank and no damage decay
3:48 The end result is mobs take more damage in the explosion zone rather than projectile zone, because of the shot gun effect.
Isn't the far shot on the sword helping a lot? Working to balance out the deadeye of the skill
That's correct. But if you have the budget, a good paradoxica with the saviour sword combo will give you more overall damage.
I used this with slayer AOE ascendancy it suits great
whats the game at the starting screen ? the character looks bad ass
Lahn character from black desert online
And them boomers are crying over their build not working anymore coz ggg sucks. THEY suck! GJ on this man!

Saviour to reach t14 maps.... GOT IT!
I will be making my 3.17 version soon, and it crushes sirus and everything so stay tune :)

@@meteormemori how about volley support? does that help the Shotgun Mechanics? or no?
@@kr0w634 nop, it'll spread the projectiles very far apart, so it's making it worse.
have you tested divergent shattering steel and its 4 projectiles doesn't change the cone shape in the same way greater multiple projectiles did?
It's hard to test since that's only 1 projectile difference, but I personally feel like the angle does increase like the GMP.
Bandits?
Kill all
@@meteormemori I am bit confuse why is it marauder or duelist ? What is the main difference?
hi did you go this build on crucible ?
nop, was thinking about it though, but it needs a lot of tweaking and updates cus it's an old build, so ended up making new ones instead
