nGAire's Paradoxica Double Strike Champion - Maps Into Endgame on a Budget

This guide is a work-in progress, please be patient as I fully flesh out the guide.

Welcome to the guide, exile!

This build was my second build in 3.5's Betrayal League, after a failed attempt at Deadeye Lancing Steel. I happened upon the unique Vaal Rapier 'Paradoxica' and was consumed by ways I could maximize the damage scaling.


___________________________________________________________________________________________________


This build is centred around the unique sword 'Paradoxica' and scaling initial flat damage in order to be doubled in end calculations. This build can be done on a fairly low budget < 1ex and can scale way up to demolish all content.


On less than a 1 ex budget, able to get to over 2 million Shaper DPS.

Looks cool, Can you post some videos?
I can't figure out where the Paradoxica Vaal Rapier comes from.

Edit: Figured it out, well that's an issue. Can the already unveiled versions be rerolled?

Are there any different weapons options in the mean time? Thanks!
