0.5.5 Glacial Bolt Gemling - 1 Button All Content

Build Overview

YOU CANNOT PLAY THIS BUILD WITHOUT VERISIUM MANIFESTATIONS

We will need to figure out if the story will give us one still (after remnant changes) or we will need to pick one up from the market.


Core gameplay idea:

- Glacial Bolt creates walls that can be exploded for giga damage

- Verisium Manifestations aura lets us spawn verisium minions on hit

- Veriisum minions + Biting Frost I one shot the walls for giga damage. And thus automating our wall explosions

- We use Pounce wolves with Biting Frost I and Brutus' Brain to pop walls as well. The more sources of wall destruction the better. Later we use Cast on Elemental Ailment with Entangle and Biting Frost I too

- We can slot Ahn's Citadel and Kaom's Madness on Glacial Bolt once we get enough wall break sources for giga wall explosions.

- You need ~200 ward with low level Verisium Manifestations in order to summon them consistently. Build cannot be played without that amount of ward and verisium. If we cannot get low level Verisium, we can just get more ward on our gear via runeforging more or Warding Rune of Heart. We have more than enough damage anyway.

If you don't have trinity amulet, you'll have less spirit but just drop berserk or whatever makes sense.

Build Variants

If you are MB, just go painters gloves and get 1K+ dps (no attk speed) crossbow. Go for granite, bismuth, quicksilver and gold or whatever last one.

MB Granite carries our defenses so we can stay painters and still be giga tank. Staying painters will allow us to use a much stronger crossbow (any damage type) so its technically a DPS gain on the very high end. +2 Proj with HH obviously unlocks giga HH mods so both setups are awesome.

If you are MB you might not have enough stats so think about dropping either CoA for less int pressure or drop berserk/erage levels. A few lvels of berserk won't really make a material difference in your damage esp. if it allows you to use giga crossbow.
