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!

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Very fast, no sprint
  • 1- button screen clear
  • No visual clutter
  • Tank
  • Start from level 6+
  • Life management (Paquate's Pact)
  • Mana management (early)
  • Cooldowns

Build Variants

Level 80+ with currency to burn. We now take Giant's Blood and strength on gear to wield a two-handed mace for extra + to all melee levels while still holding a shield. Convert that strength into Energy Shield with Black Scythe Training (Heroic Tragedy Vorana)

Check out Josiahyeet for the massive AoE Infernal Cry variant

Equipment Priority
+11

- Stat priority:

- + to level of all melee skills

- Resistance (elemental minimum total 86+%, chaos minimum 74+%)

- Strength (until you can equip your weapon with Giant's Blood)

- Energy Shield

- Rarity

- Maximum life

- Darkness Enthroned (body armour) socketed with Fox Idol and Rune of the Blossom (99% max, 100% might make Rune of the Blossom not work)

- Quecholli to guarantee shock with Shocking Leap

- Absent Amulet for Cast on Dodge (NOT MANDATORY, only gives +1m dodge, any amulet ok). Needs 34%+ reaver (attack) quality for +4 level to all melee skills. Anaemia is from a Altered Collarbone prefix. Paragon annointed (FerocityIsolationDespair). 5 socket with Perfect Jewellers orb

- Solemn Maul is sanctified for +6 level to all melee skills. Wielded with a Shield (Giant's Blood) without too much strength, due to Solemn Maul having a low strength requirement (< 100 str req on weapon) close to 300. Socketed with 2x Soul Core of Azcapa for +30 spirit.

- Atziri's Splendour with as much energy shield as possible, make sure the 20% elemental resistance is still there as a mod as well as the no attribute requirement and 50% of mana cost converted to life, no other stat matters, we don't care about socket type

- Prism of Belief ideally with +3 to Fortifying Cry (+1/2 are good stepping stones)

- Replace Lavianga's Spirits with a Ultimate Mana Flask if you can't sustain mana

- Make sure Saffell's Frame is used in both sets (right click | || buttons at top)

- Use a Essence of the Breach on Ruby Ring to get +20% increased max quality. Then use 35x Xoph Catalyst to raise the value of the % fire/% to all elemental resistances. Sovereign Alloy for % increased Explicit Resistance Modifier magnitudes (remove the Essence of the Breach mod first, with a whittle)

- Safrin's Resolve can have Adaptive Catalyst's to raise the attributes it gives

- You can runeforge Crown of the Victor and Saffell's Frame. You have to corrupt them after if you want additional sockets. You can buy 2 socket versions without a corruption first as well

Alternatives

- Ghostmarch is a good alternative to Decree of Flight, gaining phasing during dodge. But you lose the levitation and wings. It also means you can use one Soul Core of Citaqualotl instead of Soul Core of Tacati in Atziri's Splendour

- Mageblood with rarity/movement speed/armour is an option. But you will probably have to replace Atziri's Splendour with a rareSacrificial Regalia that has spirit. Then socket Fox Idol in that, maybe with a Carved Majesty. Not sure how you solve potential mana issues with Fortifying Cry though.

- Rite of Passage with "...owl". I think the best replacement is For Utopia

Crafting Steps

- Ruby Jewels

Cheap - Buy a jewel with %increased damage with warcries (warcry cooldown as well if not too expensive). Fill prefix if not full with exalt. Add Global Physical Damage with Diluted Liquid Greed, 50% chance to remove %increased damage with warcries

Expensive - Buy Ruby with all 3 stats, or craft the third stat with Preserved Cranium. Fill suffix if not full with exalt (can fracture before revealing abyss mod). Use Potent Liquid Ferocity and hope it removes the extra suffix. Divine for better rolls

- Amulet

Cheap - Skip the fracture in step 1, and only do step 2. Make sure to only prefix essence omen. Gives a +4 melee amulet only.

1 - Fracturing Orb the +3 level of all melee skills (or buy fractured already). To do so, chaos spam a 1 mod rare amulet until you get it (Orb of Annulment to get 1 mod). (If you get something other than the mod we want, such as 45+ spirit or +3 to spell skills, it best to sell it and buy a fresh new one). After add 2 more mods with exalts, and a UNREVEALED abyss mod with collarbone, then fracture. 1 in 3 odds to hit

2 - Essence of the Breach for +20% max quality. Use Reaver Catalyst until 34%+ quality. Orb of Annulment back down to only the fracture

3 - Use a Omen of Sinistral Necromancy (prefix) + Altered Collarbone to try and get the Anaemia mod. If it fails, then remove with Orb of Annulment and try again (cheaper than using omen of light, but won't guarantee you good prefix/suffixes after)

4 -Then you can Omen of Dextral Exaltation (suffix) + Exalt, and remove with Omen of Dextral Crystallisation (suffix) + Perfect Essence of Enhancement

5 - Perfect exalt

Extra - If you want even better, you can first chaos spam before step 3, to get 45+ spirit. Then Omen of light with Altered Collarbone if you don't hit it instead of annulling

Uber Extra - When adding quality, add up to 40% instead of 34%. Then increase that even more with Vaal Catalysing Infuser to 50%. +3 melee CANNOT BE FRACTURED, so fracture spirit instead. Add annoint then Omen of Sanctification + Divine Orb after step 5 and pray for +6 level to all melee skills (can use hinekora's lock to guarantee)

- Weapon

1 - Solemn Maul or any high ilvl two-handed mace (81+) with a low strength requirment (< 100)

2 - Buy or roll +5 to all melee skills NOT FRACTURED (ideally it has Strength, reduced attributes or life on kill suffixes, not mandatory)

3 - Fill prefixes/suffixes with exalts, (mods don't matter)

4 - Perfect Essence of Abrasion for Gain % as extra phys damage (skip this step if you want)

5 - Omen of Sinistral Necromancy (prefix) + Omen of the Sovereign (Ulaman) + Jawbone and reveal % increased damage while you have a totem. If this removes mod from step 4, repeat step 4-5

6 - Add sockets first! Then Omen of Sanctification + Divine Orb and pray! If you don't get +6 to all melee skills then restart

Gem Priority
+32

- ALL GEMS SHOULD BE 20% QUALITY, including skills socketed in Cast on Dodge

- DON'T CORRUPT Enfeeble, Cast on Dodge, Shockwave Totem and Leap Slam because Atziri's Splendour might make it cost life!

- Leap Slam on bosses for Shocking Leap and Holy Descent ground effects

- The 1st Cast on Dodge is from Absent Amulet

- Fortifying Cry being level 40 is not enough to get Paquate's Pact to 40. I think the corrupted +1 isn't applying or something. That's why we have a total of 41 levels.

- Sniper's Mark and Bloodhound's Mark are filler for Virtuous Barrier, don't put it on your hotbar. These can be replaced later with spirit gems if you get more spirit.

- Her Declaration (30+ extra spirit) can be added to any spirit gem for a 10% damage and survivability boost

- To create a level 20 corrupted Fortifying Cry (+1 does NOT apply to Paquate's Pact, so just corrupted is fine for Atziri's Splendour implicit +1 level):

1 - Make ANY level Fortifying Cry with a skill gem (cheaper the better)

2 - 4x Gemcutter's Prism for 20% quality

3 - Perfect Jeweller's orb for 5 sockets

4 - Vaal Orb and pray, if you get -1 or <20 quality, restart from step 1

Extra - If you get 3% extra quality or +1, you can use a Crystallised Corruption to get the other

5 - Use a level 20 skill gem to upgrade Fortifying Cry to level 20

- We now take Giant's Blood, make sure you have enough strength to equip the weapon

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
