Upcoming League: Pathfinder vs. Deadeye for a Piscator's Wander
|
Hello out there,
I am planning to run a wander (again) for the upcoming league, I know it is not the best to go for from the beginning by I simply LOVE it - since back than where Crown of Eyes + LL 30%more damage node worked togather [dreams aways...] Anyway: The type of wander I plan for this league is different. I plan to definetly go with Piscator's and Queen of the Forst as Key items + Jewels sockets for getting lightning damage. Just a big question I ask myself: Deadeye or Pathfinder?
Deadeye-SummedUp
Norm Lab: Gathering Winds (Tailwind!!) Cruel Lab: Far Shot (30% Inc. Projspeed + FarShot) Merci Lab: Powerful precision (Tripli pierce / 100%crit against pierced targets / Piece all nearby target) Uber Lab: Endless Munitions (+250Acc rating / 50% AoE / 1 more proj.) + 20% crit chance (way node) + 50% inc. projectile damage (way node) + 30% global acc rating (way node)
Pathfinder-SummedUp
Norm Lab: Nature's Boon (6% reduced ele damage, 3 charges per 3s, 20% chance to not consume flask charge) Cruel Lab: Master Alchemist ( Immune to Ailments during flask / 40% inc. eledamage during flask / 20% chance to freez, shock, ignite durink flask) Merci Lab: Veteran Bowyer (Damage pen. 10% ele Res, 100% inc. charges from killed enemies which have ailement / 10% of phys. damage as extra damage - doesnt really count as I will use piscators) Uber Lab: Natures Adrenaline Also an option: Go for Master Surgeon - But I dont really see a good point to do so, nor do I see a point which of the nodes to drop - most likely veteran Bowyer + 20% inc. flask effect + 16% inc. flask duration + 20% inc. flask charges gained And one more thing: If I go for Pathfinder, I will definetly need "pierce nodes" which costs me 3 skillpoints. So my opinion: I tend to go deadeye, on the other hand, pathfinder also seems to be pretty pretty strong. I am quite sure when I have endgame gear (dying sun / Vinktar's) that Pathfinder is stronger. But as a league starter, I would prefer going for Deadeye (I know, KB is a bad league starter, but I dont feel like starting as anything else). What do you guys think?

Convenience is probably deadeye because of pierce or chain. Pathfinder scales more with uber gear.
Raider is also a solid choice for a cheapskate wander :) I would probably not start as pathfinder due to the requirements in terms of expensive flasks (dying sun). You could always respec into it later. |

" Well, I thought about raider too at some point. I really don't know why, but I have seen noone playing a raider. Coreitems of this build will be Queen of the forest + Piscators... I agree with you, that you definetly have more benefit from a Pathfinder in the later stage. But for leveling, I guess deadeye is alot more convenient... thanks for your input |

Last time I played a Piscator's build it was a scion because of reflect my ass.

" Word, but I do not intend to play HC, moreover, just reroll ele reflect maps should be fine. The loss of movement speed is just to big when picking scion |
|
" That is the only downside but a really ugly downside I admit. German saying: Schönheit und Funktionalität in Sekundenschnelle zu ruinieren, ist dem wahren Dilettanten keine Herausforderung!

" Yes... I want to reach level 100 with this char and only wanted to speedmap - that's why I would most likely not go for a scion... Thanks for the input though |

I'd personally start with raider, seeing how you get juicy onslaught, more evade chance and free frenzies = lots of super movement speed without a QOTF (getting a 6link eva armour is easier than getting a 6link qotf).

" Which points would you suggest from the raider wheel? I would personally tend to link my Onslaught-Gem to HoI setup, which would also give me onslaught. Frenzies on kill from Bloodrage. So Raider doesnt give me to much of a help |

Deadeye is good to start.
Parhfinder is better lv95+ with right gear. But Raider is great, and you get the Ele Ailment Immunity. Plus Frenzy charges on Bosses are huge! |
