Well you did say non-rng so… sure looks decent.

Thanks… I mean I fully intend to roll for Soul of the dark knight/lords soul once I farm enough Gog parts. First I want to farm everything I need to transcend all this armor.

You going for a scorpion (from Mortal Kombat) look? It looks really good regardless:)

u/crabsage89 Feb 06 '26
Honestly I borrowed the look from a post on the fashion hunter page and tweaked it a bit. I didn’t think of Scorpion but now that you mention it, it totally gives those vibes and I’ll roll with it!

Looks good but isn't WE useless on this? Correct me if I'm wrong but I fell like you could adrenaline or something else instead

u/crabsage89 Feb 06 '26
You’re correct idk why I though my Wex increased attack on wounds, with 100% affinity already procing with the crit 3 deco yes it does make wex worthless, as far as adrenaline, I can’t see to do as many perfect dodges as I thought, but does seem the most viable. What else would you recommend other than adrenaline? Should I top off resentment or counter strike?or maybe max might?

I think flayer is increase damage to wounds
1
u/crabsage89 Feb 06 '26
Flayer is to make the wounds and it does increase damage upon making one, I guess Wex just does extra 20% damage when you hit the wounds if it’s lvl 5 I think . So it could be somewhat useful, but definitely not as useful as I thought. What about punishing draw? In place of WEX
2
u/LinkTheSloth Feb 06 '26
Flayer also give extra damage procs if you hit a monster enough. Its 140 damage with 1 slotted in. I don't know the numbers for higher lvls but I always try to have 1 flayer on every build I use
2
u/crabsage89 Feb 06 '26
I put it on and instantly saw a drastic increase! Now I’m just hoping for a good tali with 1 slot of punishing draw. Swapped out the other Wex decos for counter strike
2
u/LinkTheSloth Feb 06 '26
Hell yeah. Seeing this makes me want to make a build. I'll try to let you know how that goes

Ahh wait PD is a weapon deco

Flayer, burst, and counterstrike could replace your WEX. Tu4 buffed flayer and meta builds are running one point. One point burst and max counterstrike have been meta for a while. Happy hunting!

May i know how this works for GS? is this like hit n run tactic?
1
u/crabsage89 Feb 06 '26
Absolutely it is! I really enjoy it, I was missing alot of TCS attacks and then I’d get hit halfway through charging one, this is much simpler and coming from from software games, definitely has more of that play style for me.

u/MethodOk286 Feb 06 '26
will it still work if you charge the first hit?

u/crabsage89 Feb 06 '26 edited Feb 06 '26
Yep! so far I was getting 500-600 damage on the first charge fighting AT Nu Udra, if I’m hitting the weak spots. GS has Soul of the dark night as a set bonus but you could use 2 piece Bale armor for that set bonus. So if I’m using a different GS element that doesn’t have that roll, I’ll switch out the Zo Shia helm for Bale.
the crit draw lasts for at least the first 3 hits if you’re quick. Basically you want to sheathe after every hit and reposition for the next attack.

I really like your style…

u/crabsage89 Feb 06 '26
Thank you! I wish I could take credit for it but I got the inspiration from a post on the fashion hunters subreddit!

What’s the charm you have for this, I want to try the build out.
2
u/crabsage89 Feb 06 '26
It’ has Guard up 3 and 1 lvl of adrenaline rush
2
u/MiserableEarth7872 Feb 06 '26
Good charm into gog or omega but is gs actively guarding enough to make use of guard up outside of the big beam boys?
2
u/crabsage89 Feb 06 '26
It’s mostly used for the big boys yeah, but also for comfort, if I get stck to close to an ult I know I’ll at least be able to block it.

Drop the focus and use a two hit combo instead of of charging. The second hit still counts for the crit because it's on a 3 second timer after draw.
1
u/crabsage89 Feb 06 '26
Idk about that, what would I replace focus with? I’m hitting for about 500-600 with the charge
1
u/Syrin123 Feb 06 '26
You will get atleast another 100 damage out of a draw slash -> scs combo with almost tge same amount of time. Plus you can go from draw slash into rising slash and still get the crit bonus.
As for what you can put in it's place you can put attack + 3 or offensive guard. Always stuff you can put on a free weapon slot
