You need the Weapon called Rod of Kepeleke. This solves your resource cost. Your Core Skills are now additionally Basic Skills, free to cast, and deal up to 30% less damage based on their cost. When cast at Maximum Vigor, your Core Skills consume all Vigor to return to full damage, cast at their largest Size, and become guaranteed Critical Strikes, with [1.00 - 3.00]%[x] increased Critical Strike Damage for each point of Vigor spent this way.

I've tried a bunch of Quill builds and Nick's are always the best for me, if you can hit some key breakpoints like max resource 145 you're gonna be great, follow the build
Followed your levelling guide for the class then went over to the first early endgame build you have...even that quill build just demolishes anything so far in T2 with constant barrier and...yeah i mean it is completely bonkers but THIS build? hahaha so nice. Update 24.10.24. Kept going...done masterworking and all that snazzy stuff and this build is still completely bonkers. Got like 60 hours in the game most items masterworked with +2 +3 ga this just rocks.
Well maybe after todays slight evade nerf it will be, but it was not at all. This is by far the fastest build, ever. I zip through 60+ pits in 2 minutes and im Para lvl 160.
@@nikjustnik8202well, I zip through pit 120 with this build in 2 minutes. I do have maxed out glyphs, 12/12 gear, full aspects and 240 paragon, though. This build is insanely good. As good as Lightning Spear sorc was last season - basically has no downside except the high gear requirements
Love your explanations as well. Other creators seem to have only super end game builds with the greatest gear possible. Good for them but their builds don't work for me. It's nice to see a real world type build that works for me.
i think they might have fixed it, i have 249 and it goes 35-275-35-275. so think you actually have to hit the 275 threshold now to make it work. because just being above 240 does not seem to work anymore. Edit: i did not have 100% resource generation. and the written guide says nothing on HOW or where to get more. it does not even mention this as a priority to get
Great guide! Thanks for all you do. One question for clarity, and I apologize if I missed it but why use the Colossal glyph? It increases damage of Gorilla skills but the only Gorilla skill we have on the bar is armored hide. If Gorilla is your secondary spirit, does Colossal do anything? Thanks in advance for any response that clears this up for me.
this build is the "pit 150" one from mobylytics in your link section? I'm sure its min/max perfected I just wanna ask: 1. what happened to Rebounding aspect ? no longer viable ? 2. Harmony of Ebewaka? 3. And I'd like to hear serious oppinions about Rakanoth's Wake boots I'm currently using, they provide movement, cd red, tons of ressistance (with star 52% to all res), and alot of damage 75% to damage (without star), and unique effect aint that bad either dealing 780fire dam whenever i use skill on cd.
Hoping in the next vid there is much more insight with what to do if you don’t have a GA Rod, which is super hard to get. That seems to be what makes this 240 “easy to obtain”, but the transition from a starter / mid game build to this is really quite confusing.
If you dont have GA Rod of Kepeleke....You need 240 Vigor (235 if you have 3 points in balance exertion passive): you have 100 base vigor, you get 30 from spiritual attunement passive, 20 from magical nodes and 12 from two rare nodes from the sapping paragonboard, if you hit the requirement of 435 strength, you get additonal 4 Vigor from one of the rare nodes. So we are now at 162 Vigor and need only 73 more...the Menagerist Glyph slotted into the Sapping paragonboard socket buffes the magic nodes. My Menagerist Glyph is at Lvl 80 and it buffes the magic nodes from 4 vigor to 13 vigor. so thats additional 27 vigor (there are 3 magical nodes in range, 3x9=27). Now we need 46 vigor. Maybe you masterworked your Rod of Kepeleke to 8/12 and hit Max Resource twice. thats another 14-36 vigor, depending on your rolls. now you can use Elixir of Resourcefulness II for another 25 vigor. if you are still not at 240 /235 vigor, you can use Thibauts Will and Harlequins Crest. If you are still not at 240/235 Vigor, you can use the hubrisglyph instead of the menageristglyph. the hubrisglyph gives 5% more to the magic nodes. If you have a low paragonlvl, you should use the earlier version of the quill volley guide with the aspect of the unyielding hits and stacking armor and dont play the banished lord´s talisman. the talisman works only with 240/235 vigor. Sorry for my bad english and the wall of text. I hope i could help you. Greetings from a 47 year old gamer from germany :-)
@@MegaBiertrinker +25 from resourcefulness elixir pretty much carries it - in addition to tibaults will / shako if you want to supplement with that. It's very easy to reach 240 if you don't have a GA max rod - hence the timestamp talking about 240 vigor.
Problem I'm having is finding legendaries... uniques are stupid easy and now you cant find any legendaries. Very frustrating... I would rather they half the unique drops at add the legendary drops back to bosses
For real finding even ancestral legendary gear is crauy hard but having the right stats is almost impossible because there is like a 1 in 30 drop rate. And you cant trade anything because the shit is stupid expensive. Everyone wants like billions of gold for 1 ga chestplate like im some kind of chinese bot farmer
Great build as always. I am curious though after looking at your Mobalytics Quintillion and Trillion Builds, do you ultimately think there's an edge for the Mythic Variant, i.e. Shroud/Harlequin, vs. Ebewaka, vs. Legendary Aspect? Helm/Chest?
I swapped out the aspect of forest power on my chest with a shroud of false death and I found it worked pretty good. I was able to squeeze out extra survivability and having all the passives is nice. It would appear the viscous shield bug has been fixed. I can do high millions-low billions on hits after doing everything in this video to a T.
Ive followed your End Game build exactly and im loving it, but how exactly have you gotten 100% vigour generation? Im sitting at 50% with ravager actively and bouncing between 35-275. Could you update the guide to explain as i have followed it exactly as described, thanks! Edit: using the shroud fixed this issue for me.
3:30 I have 275+ max resource. 50% unique affix on Midnight Sun, about 110% barrier regeneration, 9,400 HP, yet my "after spending 275 of your resource..." buff will still flash. What is the reasoning for this???
@@edizkaradeniz333 I ended up getting a 50% on my ring, when I mash all skills it will stay at 275 for a few seconds. When I’m constantly attacking it will go 0, 35, 275. But it never stays completely still at 275. But I am hitting hard af and get around 800M hits and max 1.5b. I turn off all dmg numbers besides crit and overpower. Idk tho. Just waiting for a good sorcerer build until then, it’s this lol
It's because you need to also be hitting 100% vigour generation for the ring to refund everything. I'm in the same boat as you guys, hitting hard as heck (9,890B so far) but I bounce between 35-275 because my vigour generation is at 50% with Ravager active... Not sure if changing the temper on ring to vigorous from RCR would be worth as RCR increase damage delt by staff of kepeleke but your generation would hit the cap through MW
This build is legit. I was following the maxroll guide until this morning. That one is really good too. I was armor/res capped using tyreals. My crits were normally 200-500 mil. I switched to this build about an hour ago. Now I'm seeing 500-900 mil crits with the occasional 1.4-1.5 bil crits. Everything in T4 just gets melted. Not even close to res capped but it doesn't matter because everything dies so fast you barely take damage. My chest is even 750 ilvl because I didn't have an 800 that would work. Literally don't even notice. Which means there's only room for improvement. I am currently using tibault's because my max vigor was only 211 without it. I expect I can swap them out once I get the masterworking to hit right on the staff. Thanks dude! Nice work!
If im not wrong, having any form of resource cost reduction eg affixes and elixir will mess up your banished lord setup as it reduces your quill vigor cost. I had mine at 0 vigor cost which made it not working with 240 vigor.
I must have missed something. Your Paragon board here shows Colossal in the starter board but your End Game Build shows HeadHunter. Can't figure out why you would use that at all to buff basic nodes when there is 6 regular nodes
I noticed that also so I just follow his guide for 230+tanky . Not sure what one he's using on this video because none of his builds has what's on this video .
Hey Nick. Been following your build posts for a couple of seasons now and really appreciate your choices and clarity of explanation. I am in T4 with the Quill Volley build and crushing almost everything in the game in seconds (except Andariel - still struggling with the fight mechanics a bit). A few questions ... 1) On the Sapping paragon board, why Menagerist as opposed to Hubris? I am using the latter and it gives me a few more max resource points 2) I am experimenting with shelving Ebewaka in favor of a Legendary helm with massive max resource. Along with a good Kepeleke max resource roll and the various other max resource buffs I am at about 250 max resource even without a Resourcefulness potion. I have a 50% Midnight Sun ring. I have a 60% Talisman. Nevertheless I still sometimes see the resource globe filling gradually (about 0.5s from 0 to max) instead of staying at max and kind of flickering as it empties and fills, which indicates optimal performance. Any thoughts about why this might be happening? 3) resource gen vs resource cost reduction on the legendary ring. Seems to me that RCR is contrary to the goal of meeting the Talisman requirements as each cast of quill volley costs less so you have a higher bar to reach. Why RCR vs RG? 4) how to quantify the Que rune Barrier. Iirc the Druid Earthen Bulwark is something like 35% max life but it’s been awhile. Is it the same here? Thanks!
Thank you for the very clear and concise build guide! I played in beta, S0, S1, and S2, but never got very far, and this is the first character i'm aiming to get to paragon 300. I'm currently at the late paragon tanky part of the build, what's the difference between this build and the speedfarm build? Which one will I want to use for the majority of the game for infernal hordes, nightmare dungeons, etc? Thank you!
Isn't it nice how a short version of build breakdown takes 40 minutes, but results in something that's easy and pleasant to play? Also... "Stat squish" they said, "Do less damage" they said...
I've been following the dark shroud guide to a T for gear stats and my damge is only getting to the 10-20 trillions I cant figured out what I'm doing wrong!
I have followed your BD(I have 285 paragon point, 3.0x weapon, 40% resource regen, 265 max resource, all gears +12), the difference is that I have 11.5K health in town with no buff, 28 rank Resolve, +11 resilience. I have 48% at redirected force and 80% at moonrise, 12% at Interdiction. But I am doing only 3T-5T max while u do 100T+, that's like 5% to your damage. Please help
Thanks Nick for sharing this information. I think I saw you have more 5 socket glyphs? I'd like to use additional socket, but I can't seem to find it. I think I just look at your glyphs incorrectly. Please advised. Thanks, this is great info.
I've looked at your quill volley paragon boards and don't see anything that you've posted with this build. Also, early end game is different significantly on 2 of your builds. I really appreciate all your help... but at like level 200 what should I be following? Can you post this paragon board somewhere? Thanks!
Note that 2.0.3 hotfix sorted Kepeleke so that chance to cast Quill Volley twice is now working. This is a huge buff for this spec, which was already one of the strongest specs there is
Sadly enough they also silent nerfed kepeleke not counting the quill vigor (35) and now we need 275 vigor to make it work, so we basicly lose another aspect.
Unless you have 85 percent vortex which is huge it pretty much sucks them from clear across the screen. I went with the orange quill build but use harlequin with its great cooldown so you are jaguar jumping continuously and shadow of death mythic and it is good enough for me.
this may be a dumb question but when youre looking at vigor generation, i dont see any of those stats. anything with generation after it doesnt show for me. Vigor generation only pops up when im in battle and casting quill volley. is there a way for them to show all the time?
Hi! According to my stats in game it says i’ve got 276 maximum vigor. But still it doesn’t work for me. I’m still hitting those 35’s all the way up to 275.. what am i doing wrong? Please help!
Found out from another video that it is because of my ‘vigor generation’, not to be mistaken for ‘vigor regeneration’. Your gear, skills and paragon board is you main focus here. If you have a 50% main stat on Ring of the Midnight Sun, you’ll need 100% ‘vigor generation’ to be able to fully exploit your Rod of Kepeleke and Banished Lord’s Talisman combo. If the ring has less than 50% stat, you’ll need a higher percentage on your ‘vigor generation’ to compensate. Example: my ring has a 47% main stat. That means i need my ‘vigor generation’ to be at 113% to compensate. If it was 46% then i would need 117%, and if it was 45% then i would need 122% and so on.. Total vigor is not your only consern. Vigor generation is the key to multiply your damage with a lot! Hopefully this was helpful
I just got a shroud of false death with GA in max HP in a random mythic box from the blacksmith, in the guide online it says to use that, but here I don't think you mention it, should I use that?
It’s definitely a resource regenerative issue if so. There’s a calculator that Sanctum put out for you to calculate yours. Needs to be 100% to make 240 work.
Very nice guide thx a lot! I was very lucky and found Tyrael's Might. I dont know if it makes sense to use it in this build? Which aspect could i avoid for it? 🙂
All I want to know is: 1. How many times has he tempered his items to triple crit all Resolve Stacks? 2. Did he use the Infernal Hordes exploit to farm that many Tempering material, because I can't imagine how he did it otherwise?
My chest for triple took 100+ attempts. My other 2 items were less than 15 each. The bottleneck actually wasnt obducite, I had a lot of obducite from doing infernal hordes natty and NMDs when testing stuff etc. The bottleneck was rawhide and that was super annoying. If your item hits 2 masterwork crits on resolve then I'd just finish it to 12/12 and ignore where the 3rd goes. 9 stacks is good enough.
Hey man! I really appreciate the guides that u put out for us, and the time u invest in doing so, and I watch a lot of your vids, but that website that has the build link, is by far the trashiest website I’ve ever seen, u can’t look at the paragon board without it kicking u to an offsite, so I have no way of seeing the board

I've tried a bunch of Quill builds and Nick's are always the best for me, if you can hit some key breakpoints like max resource 145 you're gonna be great, follow the build
Loving your builds, looking forward to the speed farming one as the quill can be a bit awkward for moving around in like Hordes
Followed your levelling guide for the class then went over to the first early endgame build you have...even that quill build just demolishes anything so far in T2 with constant barrier and...yeah i mean it is completely bonkers but THIS build? hahaha so nice. Update 24.10.24. Kept going...done masterworking and all that snazzy stuff and this build is still completely bonkers. Got like 60 hours in the game most items masterworked with +2 +3 ga this just rocks.
Crushing Hand / Vortex seems like it'd be overall faster for farming 99% of the content.
Well maybe after todays slight evade nerf it will be, but it was not at all. This is by far the fastest build, ever. I zip through 60+ pits in 2 minutes and im Para lvl 160.
@@LeonKennedy-fk7sg 60+ is a wide margin, most builds can zip through 60 for example as it's not even T4 level of difficulty but then struggle at 70
@@nikjustnik8202well, I zip through pit 120 with this build in 2 minutes. I do have maxed out glyphs, 12/12 gear, full aspects and 240 paragon, though. This build is insanely good. As good as Lightning Spear sorc was last season - basically has no downside except the high gear requirements
Love your explanations as well. Other creators seem to have only super end game builds with the greatest gear possible. Good for them but their builds don't work for me. It's nice to see a real world type build that works for me.
i think they might have fixed it, i have 249 and it goes 35-275-35-275. so think you actually have to hit the 275 threshold now to make it work. because just being above 240 does not seem to work anymore.
Edit: i did not have 100% resource generation. and the written guide says nothing on HOW or where to get more. it does not even mention this as a priority to get
jesus fuck thx, you just fixed my gear
Thanks bro, just about to watch this but this is what I've been waiting for.
I LOVE TIME STAMPS, THANK YOU!!!
Great guide! Thanks for all you do. One question for clarity, and I apologize if I missed it but why use the Colossal glyph? It increases damage of Gorilla skills but the only Gorilla skill we have on the bar is armored hide. If Gorilla is your secondary spirit, does Colossal do anything? Thanks in advance for any response that clears this up for me.
this build is the "pit 150" one from mobylytics in your link section?
I'm sure its min/max perfected I just wanna ask:
1. what happened to Rebounding aspect ? no longer viable ?
2. Harmony of Ebewaka?
3. And I'd like to hear serious oppinions about Rakanoth's Wake boots I'm currently using, they provide movement, cd red, tons of ressistance (with star 52% to all res), and alot of damage 75% to damage (without star), and unique effect aint that bad either dealing 780fire dam whenever i use skill on cd.
I see a Nicolas build, I build it. Always my favorite D4 builds every season!
Hoping in the next vid there is much more insight with what to do if you don’t have a GA Rod, which is super hard to get.
That seems to be what makes this 240 “easy to obtain”, but the transition from a starter / mid game build to this is really quite confusing.
Agreed
If you dont have GA Rod of Kepeleke....You need 240 Vigor (235 if you have 3 points in balance exertion passive): you have 100 base vigor, you get 30 from spiritual attunement passive, 20 from magical nodes and 12 from two rare nodes from the sapping paragonboard, if you hit the requirement of 435 strength, you get additonal 4 Vigor from one of the rare nodes.
So we are now at 162 Vigor and need only 73 more...the Menagerist Glyph slotted into the Sapping paragonboard socket buffes the magic nodes. My Menagerist Glyph is at Lvl 80 and it buffes the magic nodes from 4 vigor to 13 vigor. so thats additional 27 vigor (there are 3 magical nodes in range, 3x9=27).
Now we need 46 vigor. Maybe you masterworked your Rod of Kepeleke to 8/12 and hit Max Resource twice. thats another 14-36 vigor, depending on your rolls. now you can use Elixir of Resourcefulness II for another 25 vigor. if you are still not at 240 /235 vigor, you can use Thibauts Will and Harlequins Crest.
If you are still not at 240/235 Vigor, you can use the hubrisglyph instead of the menageristglyph. the hubrisglyph gives 5% more to the magic nodes.
If you have a low paragonlvl, you should use the earlier version of the quill volley guide with the aspect of the unyielding hits and stacking armor and dont play the banished lord´s talisman. the talisman works only with 240/235 vigor.
Sorry for my bad english and the wall of text. I hope i could help you.
Greetings from a 47 year old gamer from germany :-)
@@MegaBiertrinker +25 from resourcefulness elixir pretty much carries it - in addition to tibaults will / shako if you want to supplement with that. It's very easy to reach 240 if you don't have a GA max rod - hence the timestamp talking about 240 vigor.
@@MegaBiertrinker Thank you so much, your breakdown really helped me out a lot with my Vigor issue!
Best video to explain the how this build works.. I have 244 resource gen.. yet vigor still drop off 275..
Problem I'm having is finding legendaries... uniques are stupid easy and now you cant find any legendaries. Very frustrating... I would rather they half the unique drops at add the legendary drops back to bosses
For real finding even ancestral legendary gear is crauy hard but having the right stats is almost impossible because there is like a 1 in 30 drop rate. And you cant trade anything because the shit is stupid expensive. Everyone wants like billions of gold for 1 ga chestplate like im some kind of chinese bot farmer
Helltides are good for this.
Then you finally get a good GA legendary only to brick it even with a scroll 😂
Honestly just play more. Use a red opal. It is really not that hard
@@flintenberger8122lol
Im still watching and enjoying this build..
I love that it says you can get rawhide from cellars. I did one and it gave me 1....good stuff
my thoughts exactly
Great build as always. I am curious though after looking at your Mobalytics Quintillion and Trillion Builds, do you ultimately think there's an edge for the Mythic Variant, i.e. Shroud/Harlequin, vs. Ebewaka, vs. Legendary Aspect? Helm/Chest?
Came into the season quite late but dear god I’ve blasted my way to tier 100 pit
love you❤. i use your guide & its amazing
Thanks for deep guide this build. I tryb this today. I m very exiting
Thanks for the great tips,👍🏻.
your the only streamer that clearly explain the banished lord works.
I swapped out the aspect of forest power on my chest with a shroud of false death and I found it worked pretty good. I was able to squeeze out extra survivability and having all the passives is nice. It would appear the viscous shield bug has been fixed. I can do high millions-low billions on hits after doing everything in this video to a T.
Ive followed your End Game build exactly and im loving it, but how exactly have you gotten 100% vigour generation? Im sitting at 50% with ravager actively and bouncing between 35-275. Could you update the guide to explain as i have followed it exactly as described, thanks!
Edit: using the shroud fixed this issue for me.
3:30 I have 275+ max resource. 50% unique affix on Midnight Sun, about 110% barrier regeneration, 9,400 HP, yet my "after spending 275 of your resource..." buff will still flash. What is the reasoning for this???
same here. 245 vigor, 47% on Midnight sun, 125% barrier regen, and the vigor doesnt replenish fast for some reason.
@@edizkaradeniz333 I ended up getting a 50% on my ring, when I mash all skills it will stay at 275 for a few seconds. When I’m constantly attacking it will go 0, 35, 275. But it never stays completely still at 275. But I am hitting hard af and get around 800M hits and max 1.5b. I turn off all dmg numbers besides crit and overpower.
Idk tho. Just waiting for a good sorcerer build until then, it’s this lol
It's because you need to also be hitting 100% vigour generation for the ring to refund everything. I'm in the same boat as you guys, hitting hard as heck (9,890B so far) but I bounce between 35-275 because my vigour generation is at 50% with Ravager active... Not sure if changing the temper on ring to vigorous from RCR would be worth as RCR increase damage delt by staff of kepeleke but your generation would hit the cap through MW
This build is legit. I was following the maxroll guide until this morning. That one is really good too. I was armor/res capped using tyreals. My crits were normally 200-500 mil. I switched to this build about an hour ago. Now I'm seeing 500-900 mil crits with the occasional 1.4-1.5 bil crits. Everything in T4 just gets melted. Not even close to res capped but it doesn't matter because everything dies so fast you barely take damage. My chest is even 750 ilvl because I didn't have an 800 that would work. Literally don't even notice. Which means there's only room for improvement. I am currently using tibault's because my max vigor was only 211 without it. I expect I can swap them out once I get the masterworking to hit right on the staff. Thanks dude! Nice work!
Awesome video, thanks a lot!
If im not wrong, having any form of resource cost reduction eg affixes and elixir will mess up your banished lord setup as it reduces your quill vigor cost. I had mine at 0 vigor cost which made it not working with 240 vigor.
Even without the full vigor, I am absolutely smashing T3 content. With potion I'm at 221 vigor
Just done paragon 242 and all 5 glyphs upto lvl 100. I can see dmg around 95 100+ billion per hit. Its madness with this Shroud armor
I must have missed something. Your Paragon board here shows Colossal in the starter board but your End Game Build shows HeadHunter. Can't figure out why you would use that at all to buff basic nodes when there is 6 regular nodes
I noticed that also so I just follow his guide for 230+tanky . Not sure what one he's using on this video because none of his builds has what's on this video .
Hey Nick. Been following your build posts for a couple of seasons now and really appreciate your choices and clarity of explanation.
I am in T4 with the Quill Volley build and crushing almost everything in the game in seconds (except Andariel - still struggling with the fight mechanics a bit). A few questions ...
1) On the Sapping paragon board, why Menagerist as opposed to Hubris? I am using the latter and it gives me a few more max resource points
2) I am experimenting with shelving Ebewaka in favor of a Legendary helm with massive max resource. Along with a good Kepeleke max resource roll and the various other max resource buffs I am at about 250 max resource even without a Resourcefulness potion. I have a 50% Midnight Sun ring. I have a 60% Talisman. Nevertheless I still sometimes see the resource globe filling gradually (about 0.5s from 0 to max) instead of staying at max and kind of flickering as it empties and fills, which indicates optimal performance. Any thoughts about why this might be happening?
3) resource gen vs resource cost reduction on the legendary ring. Seems to me that RCR is contrary to the goal of meeting the Talisman requirements as each cast of quill volley costs less so you have a higher bar to reach. Why RCR vs RG?
4) how to quantify the Que rune Barrier. Iirc the Druid Earthen Bulwark is something like 35% max life but it’s been awhile. Is it the same here?
Thanks!
Thank you for the very clear and concise build guide! I played in beta, S0, S1, and S2, but never got very far, and this is the first character i'm aiming to get to paragon 300. I'm currently at the late paragon tanky part of the build, what's the difference between this build and the speedfarm build? Which one will I want to use for the majority of the game for infernal hordes, nightmare dungeons, etc? Thank you!
Great work, really appreciate the tanky variation. Any chance you will make a guide for Crushing Fist speedfarming?
Isn't it nice how a short version of build breakdown takes 40 minutes, but results in something that's easy and pleasant to play?
Also... "Stat squish" they said, "Do less damage" they said...
Awesome! Thanks Nick!
GODLIKE thanks man
thank u a lot thats incredible it works fine
You can add the comparison tables, the ones you published are different.
I've been following the dark shroud guide to a T for gear stats and my damge is only getting to the 10-20 trillions
I cant figured out what I'm doing wrong!
I have followed your BD(I have 285 paragon point, 3.0x weapon, 40% resource regen, 265 max resource, all gears +12), the difference is that I have 11.5K health in town with no buff, 28 rank Resolve, +11 resilience. I have 48% at redirected force and 80% at moonrise, 12% at Interdiction. But I am doing only 3T-5T max while u do 100T+, that's like 5% to your damage. Please help
exactly the same! ive got quite literally the same guy and stats as the video but im hitting for 8T max!
Thanks Nick for sharing this information. I think I saw you have more 5 socket glyphs? I'd like to use additional socket, but I can't seem to find it. I think I just look at your glyphs incorrectly. Please advised. Thanks, this is great info.
I've looked at your quill volley paragon boards and don't see anything that you've posted with this build. Also, early end game is different significantly on 2 of your builds. I really appreciate all your help... but at like level 200 what should I be following? Can you post this paragon board somewhere? Thanks!
Note that 2.0.3 hotfix sorted Kepeleke so that chance to cast Quill Volley twice is now working. This is a huge buff for this spec, which was already one of the strongest specs there is
Sadly enough they also silent nerfed kepeleke not counting the quill vigor (35) and now we need 275 vigor to make it work, so we basicly lose another aspect.
Unless you have 85 percent vortex which is huge it pretty much sucks them from clear across the screen. I went with the orange quill build but use harlequin with its great cooldown so you are jaguar jumping continuously and shadow of death mythic and it is good enough for me.
killing enemys garanties u 40% chance to reset jaguar cd, so u dont need cd reduction.
this may be a dumb question but when youre looking at vigor generation, i dont see any of those stats. anything with generation after it doesnt show for me. Vigor generation only pops up when im in battle and casting quill volley. is there a way for them to show all the time?
My brain has exploded.
Awesome thanks for the tips!
Hey mate appreciated for all your works, have you ever compare resolve vs resilient?
I've been waiting my whole life for this video. Thanks Nick
What mythics works with this build or which would work best
Currently hovering over Viscous Shield on the Paragon Board and it’s completely different than the website you linked to.
Hi! According to my stats in game it says i’ve got 276 maximum vigor. But still it doesn’t work for me. I’m still hitting those 35’s all the way up to 275.. what am i doing wrong? Please help!
Found out from another video that it is because of my ‘vigor generation’, not to be mistaken for ‘vigor regeneration’.
Your gear, skills and paragon board is you main focus here. If you have a 50% main stat on Ring of the Midnight Sun, you’ll need 100% ‘vigor generation’ to be able to fully exploit your Rod of Kepeleke and Banished Lord’s Talisman combo.
If the ring has less than 50% stat, you’ll need a higher percentage on your ‘vigor generation’ to compensate.
Example: my ring has a 47% main stat. That means i need my ‘vigor generation’ to be at 113% to compensate. If it was 46% then i would need 117%, and if it was 45% then i would need 122% and so on..
Total vigor is not your only consern. Vigor generation is the key to multiply your damage with a lot!
Hopefully this was helpful
I just got a shroud of false death with GA in max HP in a random mythic box from the blacksmith, in the guide online it says to use that, but here I don't think you mention it, should I use that?
im at 240 vigor but it still dosen't stay full any tips? my resource regen is probably bad but i cant raise it without losing barrier
It’s definitely a resource regenerative issue if so. There’s a calculator that Sanctum put out for you to calculate yours. Needs to be 100% to make 240 work.
Same 50 regen is all i can get to atm i hate it lol struggles
Very nice guide thx a lot! I was very lucky and found Tyrael's Might. I dont know if it makes sense to use it in this build? Which aspect could i avoid for it? 🙂
Any update to this build ? This is different from what you have on Mobalytics...
thanks for the guide! after getting all glyphs to 46 which should i focus on maxing out first?
Best build and D4 theory master, keep it up, what is the second best alt after this - thank u!!
All I want to know is:
1. How many times has he tempered his items to triple crit all Resolve Stacks?
2. Did he use the Infernal Hordes exploit to farm that many Tempering material, because I can't imagine how he did it otherwise?
Infernal hordes mats farm is patched this week I believe
I'm talking about pre-patch.
@exxuto you know he did. It's impossible in the current state of the game with how expensive masterworking is to get gear perfected like that.
@@OceanD4wrong just play the game you will get 10k mats easy
My chest for triple took 100+ attempts. My other 2 items were less than 15 each. The bottleneck actually wasnt obducite, I had a lot of obducite from doing infernal hordes natty and NMDs when testing stuff etc. The bottleneck was rawhide and that was super annoying. If your item hits 2 masterwork crits on resolve then I'd just finish it to 12/12 and ignore where the 3rd goes. 9 stacks is good enough.
Ill never have your gear but ive done pit 115 so far and im happy with that xD
I love builds that say "Okay, first - don't get ANY mythics."
How is your armore getting tempered for so much extra resolve stacks????? I can only do 1-2....
Do you plan on updating glass cannon, for lvl 300 paragon?🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm sticking with my kiss of death followed by a trip to poison pound town. It's not as powerful but I love it.
Hey man! I really appreciate the guides that u put out for us, and the time u invest in doing so, and I watch a lot of your vids, but that website that has the build link, is by far the trashiest website I’ve ever seen, u can’t look at the paragon board without it kicking u to an offsite, so I have no way of seeing the board
Is there any recommendations on what to do with the extra paragon points? Would love to know where to stick them!
Came for a fun take on the election, got a therapy session. 10/10
why do we still use the colossal glyph when we no longer use harmony of ebewaka?
@nicktew perfect a crushing hand build please and thanks
yeah i'm looking forward to that too. It seems easier to play, despite it having a little less dps.
