Personally I run 3x sheltere 2x blackstone and key boots. Same mods. I take treant down in 7-10 seconds. Glad someone finally made a video for this amazing piece of weapon. Have yet to see any others using this in my server. Keep up the good work mate!
I originally started with 3 shelter / 2 blackstone but swapped back to 4 shelter my beloved haha. Both would work though. Shocked there's not a ton of videos on this build yet, it's really good!
I love the Pyroclasm with all my heart. Being an absolut firewitch, I ran burn builds since season 1, they were ok but not great. Now that I figured out the Pyroclasm... 2-3 Million on Primewars on average, this afternoon I had 5mill on a pro Hunter in a team of 3. My strat, shoot till the first orb drops. Pick up orb as fast as possible, reload, blaze away. I also use the mod that fills my mag after 2 kills to 100%, useless vs. bosses but great vs. average stuff. Less reloads = less deduction in deviation energy, also the dragonbreath stays till next reload, so as long as you dont have to reload, you keep the blaze damage :D Then it is just run up close and personal and start blasting away. 🔥❤😃
You can prime the enemy with another burn mod (-50 stacks maintained whenever cleared). Just equip another fire trigger weapon with the mod on, shoot the target till the burn procs and then switch to the SG.
Double elemental print will add 15-20% extra burn damage to your overall burn damage stat, there is no point in putting crit on only your print, it would be un-noticeable.
@@MattGoesBuck i see, i was conversing with people in my server and he said giving 2 elemental damage gives no bonus damage whatsoever, so its better to use cdmg / crate
Thats because you didnt pick up the yellow ball thing and reload your ammo. When you pick it up and reloading, your burn (status) dmg considered as blaze (element) thats when you get the benefit from the +element %
That’s most likely next along with a bullseye build this season. That’ll be my 3 for the scenario. I appreciate you though, best comment I’ve gotten in a while 🥹
Should I priorities Burn or Talent suffixes? I have a lot of mods with Burn dmg + Blaze dmg, but I also have element dmg + status dmg mods. Since the shotgun scales with burn, I should prioritize burn dmg right?
Status doesn’t effect the dragons breath bullets, but it does effect the burn tick damage. Elemental damage also has a big play in the build. I tried both crit and elemental, and I like this version better.
Should still be great, currently there doesn’t seem to be a fire deals more damage to ice enemies and ice deals more damage to fire enemies mechanic, so shouldn’t make a difference. Only thing I wouldn’t use it for is chaosweavers.
There's no one single best weapon because none of them do it all. Doombringer is best single target damage for bosses you can be right on top of, Bingo is best for long range single target, status weapons are best for ad clear, but you need builds to go along with all of them.
just bought it before winter season started and tested this shotgun; it didn't perform well with status build, it's more of weapon/crit dmg had mine focused on lonewolf + weapon dmg mods & retrusion explosion mod with crit substats and i get decent 1.5k normal burn hits & 3.5k burn crits (this is a maxed calibrated acs12 heavy-critR/critR with blue tungsten ammo)
@jaedacs Yeah I hear you, my head went there too. I still think there's some hidden tech there. I even tried to run corrosion with it with the power surge crit key armor and do swaps.
@@MattGoesBuck i would combine the two, for example slots like the handmods you would not loose much by changing 20% status to 15% crit since you already have alot. Still focus mostly on ele dmg.
@@jinkxy2370 More times than not you want to focus on one damage type in this game and have the other damage type be kind of a backend stat, going 50/50 ele / crit wouldnt really do that great.
So go pure element is better than crit on this build? Have you try crit Pyrocasm yet? My friend use crit build. He out perform my high dmg bingo build. I kill treant in 10 seconds while him kill it in 9 second.
Yeah, like all status builds its rng for proc, however, this one has a really high chance, I've never waited on an orb. I'm killing Hard mode Treant in 7 seconds solo currently with it.
I think this build will suffer the same faith with doombringer build. People who has good gameplay skills might survive under a boss but casual players will never use it. Especially with a deviation that has no ability to take the agro from you. If you dont have enough gameplay skills you ll not able to solo most of the hard bosses with this build.
I think it's going to get nerfed. I'm currently killing Hard mod Treant solo in actually 6 seconds. Curious how pro is going to be. Even if it's double the amount of time, Pro Treant in 12 seconds going to be wild.
@@MattGoesBuck Treant is an easy boss. Bosses like Forsaken Giant where you cant get close to it will be hard to kill. Problem with the shotgun build is range. Pellet's spread etc.
Well, you would never use a status build on Giant regardless of range, he's immune to status, like EX1 and Rev Hunter. This is why you have multiple builds. Idk why so many people are fixated on one build to be the end all be all in this game.
Soon as i saw the shotgun and boots combo i knew this would make for a busted burn build. But pretty much all builds are braindead busted in PvE so there isn't that much to work on.
Depends on what you define as busted, busted as in can solo clear everything in the game then yes every weapon can do that. But the dps difference even between S-Tier and A-Tier are pretty significant.
Crit route youre probably better off going 4 lonewolf, 1 bastille. I tested both status version and crit version with tier 5 gear fully cali'd in prismverse before I left and shelterer still came out on top.
@@MattGoesBuck Sorry it looked speed up my bad. I might have started a bit harsh with my reaction. But i'm just a bit done with all these titles/misinformation/overhyping. The build has potential sure. Did you delete my youtube link I placed or does youtube do this automaticly in the comments section?
You realize winter is in phase one and you can’t compare past metas with tier 5 gear and up to 5 star enhancements to a weapon / build that’s currently only tier 3, right? This is phase 1 / tier 3 gear damage.

Thank you for saving this build for me. I went from Zero to Hero in my squad. You earned my sub bro.
Just got these boots today and heading to the way of winter and already have 95% of this as my build so I am excited!

To note, elemental damage callib give no bonus damage because the weapon scaled with weapon damage, you should put crit dmg / crit rate for it

can you make a build for the new m4a1 frost? i only follow ur builds and seeing this made me excited!

How does the hardy gloves slot into this? I want to know if sacrifing your burn stacks for explosions is better then flat dmg buff.
Should I priorities Burn or Talent suffixes? I have a lot of mods with Burn dmg + Blaze dmg, but I also have element dmg + status dmg mods. Since the shotgun scales with burn, I should prioritize burn dmg right?
You'll want Burn on at least your mask, I have it on my Weapon as well, then the rest can be mods
Is this better than Crit build? I heard Status damage doesn't work on this weapon.
Status doesn’t effect the dragons breath bullets, but it does effect the burn tick damage. Elemental damage also has a big play in the build. I tried both crit and elemental, and I like this version better.
how do you see this doing going into the more volcanic/hot region?
Should still be great, currently there doesn’t seem to be a fire deals more damage to ice enemies and ice deals more damage to fire enemies mechanic, so shouldn’t make a difference. Only thing I wouldn’t use it for is chaosweavers.
Brother what is the best weapon in the game , im new player

I tested both in prismverse clash all tier 5 full calibrated and shelterer beat out lonewolf by a bit, and ramped up quicker.

element better if you have good mod with good substat
Frozen M4 build when? :(
Prob phase 3 when the gamba is up for it
The main problem withc this bui that you have to gamble for the orbs and play a game "catch it"
Yeah, like all status builds its rng for proc, however, this one has a really high chance, I've never waited on an orb. I'm killing Hard mode Treant in 7 seconds solo currently with it.
clock that tea

@@kimberlystorms2968 bullseye and shrapnel builds
they really need to add new legendary body mod next season..for 3 season ppl using blue body mod is cringe
Soon as i saw the shotgun and boots combo i knew this would make for a busted burn build. But pretty much all builds are braindead busted in PvE so there isn't that much to work on.
Depends on what you define as busted, busted as in can solo clear everything in the game then yes every weapon can do that. But the dps difference even between S-Tier and A-Tier are pretty significant.
Except Bounce
I went crt weapon dmg 3lonewolf 2savior it hits harder kills faster
I kill less than 5sec boss 10secs for tentacles
Crit route youre probably better off going 4 lonewolf, 1 bastille. I tested both status version and crit version with tier 5 gear fully cali'd in prismverse before I left and shelterer still came out on top.
Can you highlight the other build(critbuild) cuz on banner it comes with loneworlf
no point using saviour in pve scenario
A better frost build by me
2 SHELTERER SET
2 BLACKSTONE
1 BASTILLE
THE SNOWY KEY ARMOR GLOVES
AND THE M416 LEGENDARY FROST GUN WITH THE SNOWSPRITE 😊
Picking only 18% extra elemental damage with that combo over 40% extra elemental damage with 4 shelterer is certainly a choice.
@@MattGoesBuck i forgot if it was SHELTERER or stormweaver
But if u add the correct mods that build can legit deal some nice damage
why 2 blackstone when u can just use 2 heavy duty. can easily 5star heavy duty too for psi
4 shelterer, 1 bastille and frost tactical vest is meta for the m416
nah, ngl this make no sense tho, this build is lacking..
How do you figure it’s tier 3 armor winter is in phase 1. None of this is close to max and I’m sitting at 202% blaze damage.
I'm legit killing Treant twice as quick with the kvd-boom-boom as you do with that fire shotgun. What are you on about? This video makes no sense.
You’re killing him in 5.5 seconds? bc that’s faster than anyone haha.
On the video it's taking you 17 seconds to take down Treant after tentacles are down. And that part is speed up. I can upload a video on RUclips
It’s 12 seconds and the video is in normal speed.
