Build Overview

SPEED LEVELING INCLUDED. BIG CHANGES, CHECK CHANGELOG (Go to my profile, then click same guide to refresh properly)

Paquate's Pact (Corrupting Cry II) utilising Gemling Legionnaire quality stacking for DEFENCE, DAMAGE and SPEED. Stack level of all melee skills with Fortifying Cry to scale Paquate's Pact. Use it every 3+ seconds to hit most things on the screen, applying a stacking physical Corrupted Blood that echoes twice over 2 seconds growing larger each time. Echo's also give a 700+ guard shield. Fly across the screen in a single dodgeroll with 2x Cast on Dodge giving 3m extra distance and Decree of Flight making it faster with floating wings!

CHECK THE UBER ENDGAME VARIANT!

- Does NOT need to beSirenscale Gloves, just any gloves with +1 to all melee skills CORRUPTED implicit (resistance nice and ideally fire for Safrin's Resolve). Then 1/6 with a Kopec Orb of Sacrifice for +2 corrupted implicit. Socket Thane Grannell's Rune of Mastery instead of jewel socket, as it cannot be added to a corrupted item.

- Svalinn should have or as close to "You take 0% of damage from Blocked Hits" as possible. Otherwise, the more armour the better. 2 sockets if you are rich
To search for 0% try this search link

- Megalomaniac with Thousand Cuts

- Ghostmarch is not necessarily faster than Decree of Flight, but feels way smoother for corridors and dense monster packs. Exceptional base with 2 sockets non-corrupted, then runeforged for +5 movement speed implicit into corrupted for 3 sockets. You can also replace a Soul Core of Tacati in Atziri's Splendour for Soul Core of Citaqualotl

- Imperial Greathelm is just an example of a common helmet crafted with these warcry mods from socketing Vorana's Carnage rune

Cheaper craft
1 - Buy an Exceptional base with 2 socket's of the helmet base you want to craft on
2 - Socket Vorana's Carnage and add 20% quality
3 - Omen of Putrification + Ancient Rib
4 - Reveal (+ 6xOmen of Abyssal Echoes if you want better odds)

Frequently Asked Questions

- I can't use my weapon set passive points, why?

You first need normal passive points before you can split them with the weapon set points. So to apply the max 24 weapon points for each set, you first need 24 normal passive points available to use.

To ensure that a skill is only used with one particular weapon set, you need to configure it in your skill menu (G by default). Check out this guide to see how you do it for each skill (gem section): Dual Specialisation

Set 1 is PINK/RED, Set 2 is GREEN

- How did you get an extra passive point?

Travel to the "Site of the chosen" area, above the divinity boss fight in the Endgame map (big tower)

- What gives the WINGS when you dodge roll?

The Decree of Flight unique boots. You don't need any MTX. Make sure to unequip any boot cosmetic, or dodge cosmetic, as it might be overriding it

- Why is my mana cost for Fortifying Cry so high?

You need a Atziri's Splendour with the mod "50% of mana cost is converted to life", and Fortifying Cry must be corrupted

- Where is the tooltip damage for Paquate's Pact?

There isn't one. Fortifying Cry tooltip is not our damage

- What number do I want on Heroic Tragedy?

Does not matter. What does matter, is that it has the text "...By the Line of Vorana". This means that Blood Magic will be converted to Black Scythe Training
