  • Video includes full walkthrough of levels 1 to 20 plus all the best gear within Act 1 to start your one-shot boss killer build.
    Grimtools Level 20 - www.grimtools.com/calc/xZyrn7mN
    Attribute points
    First 5 - Spirit
    After that - All in physique
    Skill points (allocated each level-up)
    Level 2 - Mastery ('M') +2 Dreeg's Evil Eye ('DEE') +1
    Level 3 - M +3
    Level 4 - Blood Burst ('BB' 2nd node of DEE) +3
    Note: Blood Burst adds weapon damage to DEE and does not increase energy use of DEE so max this as a priority
    Level 5 - M +1 BB +2
    Level 6 - M +1 BB +2
    Quest reward skill point (Kasparov) BB +1
    Level 7 - M +1 BB +2
    Level 8 - M +1 BB +2
    Note: Blood Burst is now maxed at soft-cap 12/12 adding in 35% main-hand weapon damage
    Level 9 M +1 Curse of Frailty (CoF) +1 Focused Gaze +1
    Note: Focused Gaze will massively increase DEE damage but also introduces a 4-second cooldown. If you don't want the cooldown (yet) leave this node until later, but this guide will assume the point was used here.
    Level 10 M +2 Vulnerability (2nd node of CoF) +1 - If wielding Pusquill's Tail, this will gain 3 additional points from that item
    Level 11 M +3
    Level 12 - Blood of Dreeg (BoD) +3 (Keep this active at all times - needs re-casting every 30 seconds but the Putrid Necklace amulet adds 2 minutes to the up-time).
    Level 13 - M +3
    Level 14 - M +2 Terrifying Gaze (3rd node of DEE) +1
    Level 15 - M +3
    Level 16 - M +3
    Level 17 - M +3
    Level 18 - M +3
    Level 19 - Aspect of the Guardian (2nd node of BoD) +3
    Level 20 - BoD +3
    Devotions (Complete the named constellations unless otherwise stated)
    Crossroads RED node
    Rat
    Reclaim Crossroads RED node at Spirit Guide
    Wretch
    Fox
    Manticore - attach skill to Dreeg's Evil Eye
    Sailor's Guide
    Murmur - attach skill to Curse of Frailty
    Owl
    Spider
    Jackal
    Raven
    Yugol - attach skill to Possession
    Abomination - take the 2 nodes on the LEFT side. You won't reach the skill, but it's not needed.
    Gear
    Weapon
    Pusquill's Tail (target-farm boss)
    Poison damage, +3 Vulnerability, -10% Poison & Acid resistance reduction to CoF
    or
    Slithtongue (always in same place on corpse in Foggy Bank Cavern)
    Acid & Poison damage but no skill buffs unless it randomly has appropriate affixes
    Offhand
    Groble Toxic Effigy (target-farm Groble Snake Clan Witch Doctor enemies)
    +2 to DEE, 26% weapon damage to DEE
    or
    Occult Horn (default crafting item at blacksmith Duncan)
    +2 to DEE, Poison Bolt chance on attack
    Amulet
    Putrid Necklace (target-farm boss Primordian the Forgotten)
    +2 Blood of Dreeg, 120 seconds extra up-time to BoD, damage conversions to Acid on BoD
    At level 32 and above, the +2 BoD is replaced with +1 all skills in Occultist

    Patch 1.2 update - all the monster infrequent drops from BOSSES are now 100% drop chance. Stuff like Pusquill’s Tail, Crimson’s Scepter (although she has 2 so it’s 50/50 for her evil eye weapon). Non-boss MI drops have reduced drop rate, hopefully they will fix this.

      Thanks for the comment, good to hear you’re going to try this out. For a new player, this is a good one to try because the gear that supports the skill (Dreeg’s Evil Eye) is easy to get from target enemies and just by buying pieces of gear from faction shops. Nobody is going to have any problem getting the right gear, although some of it can be farmed for ‘the best’ additional bonuses from item prefixes and suffixes but this is not essential, at least until you reach Ultimate difficulty when you will probably want to do some gear farming.

    I really appreciate your guides, they are essential for new players who have no idea where to start. For me, it's made this game so much more accessible.
    I started as a reaper and boosted myself in crucible, but I'm really not feeling it. I'm now looking at either warlock or cabalist (2 completely different playsyles i know) but I can at least follow this guide to start with before I make a decision. I love pet builds, but also like the idea of spellcasting warlocks. I'm interested to know your thoughts on both of these, as I've not found anything on your channel relating to them?

    • @Arcadelife1
      @Arcadelife1  Год назад +2

      Thanks for the comment and the build info requests.
      There’s some pet video content scattered around on the channel, this ‘Easy Gear’ Elemental Pets build is probably the best I’ve done - ruclips.net/video/Bfes2n6TO3w/видео.html - check the video description for links to earlier episodes in the series.
      The One-Shot build (subject of this video) ends up being a Warlock but there are loads of options for the 2nd mastery depending on what you want to do with the build.

      Not only is this build very strong already halfway through Act 1, a large number of ‘the best’ gear pieces now and later can be target farmed or bought from faction shops.
      Even as a new player’s first character, it can easily be one-shotting heroes and bosses before level 30.

    • @Arcadelife1
      @Arcadelife1  Год назад +1

      Yes, the affixes are randomly picked from a pool of many. I’d recommend using whichever Pusquill Tail drops in Normal because you will be swapping for a better item fairly soon. In Elite it will be worth farming Sister Crimson (once you are using her weapon from Normal you won’t be going back to the Pusquill tail), and in Ultimate you will definitely want to farm all the different Monster Infrequent items to get good affixes.

      Not sure of the link between shrine and gear item, but if you’re missing a shrine do you have the expansion DLCs installed? Some shrines were added with the expansions. If you’re talking about a totem instead of a shrine, they spawn in random locations and the loot is not fixed.

    is Blackwood Wand from Warden a better option over Pusquill's tail at lvl 25? Due to the +1 to Occultist?

    • @Arcadelife1
      @Arcadelife1  Год назад +1

      As with all gear where damage is involved, put your main skill (Dreeg’s Evil Eye) on mouse button 1 or 2, then open character tab 2 so you can watch the skill damage change when you swap gear items. The wand is a random drop, meaning you can’t farm Krieg specifically for it, so I don’t mention it (or other random items) in a guide like this because there’s no guaranteed way to get it. However, if it’s better than the item you have, it’s probably best to use it.

      I originally used the big damage node from very early on. Large area splash damage makes it useful against groups as well as bosses. Since then, I’ve played an evil eye build without the big damage node as a spam-attack but I changed the devotions and other skills around a bit to support the different playstyle. In my opinion the big damage version is both hilarious and useful.

There’s no “you must do this” for the second mastery, also there are several viable options depending on where you want to go with the build. Soldier would work well, with a mix of damage/offensive skills and survivability - probably best if you’re in hardcore. Nightblade has nice poison buffs and additional resistance reduction on Veil’s 2nd node - this was my original choice for 2nd mastery but I changed my mind because I want to stick with just one big damage skill and the spirit scaling plus a couple of great one-point skills on Arcanist were too much of a temptation. So yeah, spoiler alert but I went with Arcanist 👊😜

Rat should be there, I think, then it’s really all down to finding other acid/poison damage constellations to get to where you want to be.

      @@Arcadelife1 Frist thanks again for getting back to me so quickly. I did go Rat, and Manticore. Unfortunately there is no Murmur, so I'm trying to figure out the best place to slot Curse of Frailty and possession since there is no Yugol. But I'm thinking going owl to hydra then to Abomination or affliction since I can do fetid pool for possession, but idk if that makes senses or what not haha.

      @@bill6579 Good to hear you’re having fun with this one. They changed the boss drops of unique ‘monster infrequent’ items (example Pusquill’s Tail) to 100% drop chance in patch 1.2 (16 Nov) so it’s even easier to get the gear for this build now.
      If it’s your first character, use it to learn WHY it works so well - basically one strong attack with damage type(s) being buffed from multiple sources (gear, other mastery skills, devotions) plus some solid defensive skills and devotions to keep you alive. The basic principles apply to any build, even pets to some extent.

      Thanks for trying this build. Couple of reasons I can think why you might be having trouble with Pusquill - the water/slime damages you while you stand in it so stay on the dry ground during the fight as much as you can. I do use health potions during the fight to allow me to stand in front of him and keep fighting instead of playing more of a hit-and-run style fight.

      Nice one - yeah, if you have a full Miasma set early on then it will probably be better than random Act 1 stuff. However, the farmable items a bit later will be better for increasing the performance of Dreeg's Evil Eye, plus you'll get potentially much better overall stats with decent affix rolls on the monster infrequent items such as the Chosen Raiment.
      I've got the fresh start character up to 33 now, with completed Manticore devotion, Sister Crimson's weapon, Ronaprax Sting and a Chosen Raiment - just one-shotted all the Arkovian Undercity heroes/bosses including Kilrian.

      This build does not use guns, and I’d say you can’t go wrong with it as a new player but it can potentially spoil any future builds as it is ridiculously strong (damage) and easy to gear right from the start.
