ascendancy


I wanted a high speed clearing build that didnt fall over on bosses. Without the need of any 6l xophs blood is the most expensive item, however i was clearing gaudians without xoph's and had a +1 frenzy karaui Ward that i picked up for 8c. Not much for guides all the info is on my char or path of building.

Budget: can get away with doing the entire build for under 2ex... all that is missing are opal rings and
the xophs. Total of entire build is about 9ex as opals are 1ex each as a base and xophs 5ex. I am still using a queen 5l and don't see the need to spend 6ex for a 40% increase on cyclone damage as the dps is in the balls xD

If your not a path of building kinda person here is my character's profile. you will find all the gear and a lvl 87 raider

Hope you enjoy the build and sorry about the basic guide

good to see more ngamahu builds. i really like mine and i know i'll be replicating it as much as i can for next league as well. its an insane farmer and an insane boss killer.

here is my pastebin. its different, which i'll explain here.
https://pastebin.com/25mqBKSB

the difference is i run cyclone just for farming, and i use molten strike (more balls!) for single target. and the single target is super effective. yes i have a 6L, but it isn't needed. with the 6L, counting up molten burst, molten strike melee hit and molten strike balls, assuming all balls hit im hitting about 4.2m shaper DPS.
now, all the balls won't hit, but definitely over half will. depends on how big the hit box is. the dps is very significant tho and molten strike performs way way better than cyclone alone.

i also run a vaal cyclone because i can, and its amazing for farming stuff like double beyond in high tier maps for those juicy steel/opals. or just for anything. my shaped dunes have turned into currency rain machines if they're double beyond and sextant'd.

but ya, either way ngamahu is a cheap and super super powerful build that can do all end game depending how much currency you want to sink in it.
i tried wanders, i tried doomfletch prism, i tried another bow build all this league and this is for sure the best build. it does it all. its evasively tanky and great clear and GREAT single target.

i say its evasively tanky because going avatar of the chase instead of avatar of the veil gives you 25% more evasion vs melee and 15% more evasion vs projectiles. this turns into me having 82% melee evasion and 76% proj evasion. then i have dodge on top of it etc.

not trying to hijack your build or anything, just a fellow ngamahu player that is giving you some different perspective into the things that can be done.
enjoy the build - and keep us updated in any changes and improvements you make as you play through rest of league!

Thanks for the reply, im unsure of my dps but its at 100k a ball on path of building, does the moltenstrike combo kill alot faster? im also loving the 200% movespeed makes map clearing an ease. thanks for ur link i actually didnt expect any1 to even look at my build haha

ya im a little higher DPS per ball than you even without the opals, but molten strike shoots off a lot more balls, and it also procs molten burst as well. so you can imagine.

i have the molten strike +3 enchant (you can still get +2 from merc lab probably pretty cheap) and such so i shoot off 12 balls every attack with molten strike, with 9 APS when i have my protector totem up. thats 108 balls a second from molten strike. it also procs molten burst at 20% value so lets say 1.8x in that second, to which molten burst shoots off 9 balls. so in total im getting like 124 balls a second.

molten burst does more damage because you have 6 supports instead of 4 supports for molten strike, but molten strike obviously fires off WAY more balls. 108 compared to 16 @ 9 atks per second.

edit: i could use GMP with molten strike but at that point it seems and feels like the spread is way too big, so i just augment the damage more with slower proj instead of gmp. but gmp would be better without any helm enchant.
