Plagueshifter 3.0 Level 75+
Overview
This build is specifically setup to blast nightmare 100 dungeons. We are taking the best parts of Plagueshifter 2.0, and mixing them with my shredsplosion build to create a landslide build that no longer is relegated to a mid game build and is now one of the best, most comfy, most survivable endgame builds. We 1 shot nightmare 100 bosses and just do it all. Hope you enjoy the guide
Update Via Hotfix 1.1.2 Regarding Barrier Changes
So in a recent hotfix they made it so we can scale barrier more as it can scale UP to our max health. This means more barrier generation = more damage. On this build you should be aiming for at least 60-70% barrier generation. However at 68% I am still 1 shotting quite literally everything at nightmare 100. So you can aim for 100% barrier or more for max damage but it truly isn’t needed unless you are fighting Lilith. Aim for at least 70% and if you are not there put diamonds in your gear. If you are above 70% you can go for the more DR so you have better survivability. You will 1 shot things anyways so might as well be more comfy in Nightmare 100. Damage DOES NOT SCALE off of your current barrier, only on your % barrier generation. 20/5 points into earthen bulwark will give u the same damage as 1/5 into Bulwark.
