Major Build Update
Vile-Chemist-Melee-hybrid-Avatar-U72.jpg


The main post is fully updated to reflect the changes I made to this build.
I implemented this in game and the double-checked all stats, so all should be accurate.

All in all I feel this was a major improvement to the build, I'm very pleased! :love:

Ref gear
For now, I simply added the Legendary Stygian Wrath orb to the current gear set.

Slowly working towards updating gear sets to include a few pieces of gear with S/M augments to existing set bonuses (similarly to the gear set I recently put together for my Bard swashbuckler hybrid).

The long-term plan is to revise all gear sets to achieve similar results, but highly likely I will:
  • start from the hybrids, since I now have the Bard Swash sample to adjust from
  • then move on to the casters, since their gear set was not updated at the same time as the pure melee gear sets
  • and finally move on to the pure melee builds, which were the most recently updated to also include the gear planner spreadsheet
In the meantime, hopefully lots of new pieces of gear with S/M slots get released, to create the volume, range and flexibility that level 29-32 gear has been offering so far.


Enjoy! 🙂

Build update

I just finished putting together a new gear set for this build using Sun/Moon augments combined with previous set bonuses (I got all the pieces ready in game too). The main post has been fully updated to account for the changes.

(Posting the gear below for ease of access, but bear in mind only the main post will be updated in time, not here).

Suggestions for gear
(not part of the core build: choices based on what supports the main aims of the build best, with the intention to suggest/ inspire)
Gear Set bonuses:

Gear:
(PS: Some choices ref gear cater to a much larger personal scheme/tetris where items need to get shared between several alts at endgame, where I normally play in reaper mode 6-10 skulls).

Vile Chemist/ Dragon Disciple Hybrid Gear planner spreadsheet above is available to download too. More Gear Set suggestions & planners in this thread.

Main Filigree Set bonuses:

Filigrees: 14 = 10 (weapon) + 4 (artefact)

Filigree master plan:
  1. Primarily invest in Spell DC and Intelligence.
  2. Spell Power goes as secondary aim, if/when possible to squeeze in
  3. other effects get the least priority

Really pleased with the results: enjoy! :)

An alternative gear set has been added to the main post (since I spent a lot of time putting it together to compare it with the one I ended up going with, might as well share it!)

Posting below for ease of access, but only the main post will be updated regularly:

The alternative gear set below seemed nice too, as it gives a bit more fortification bypass and seeker, only requires acquiring two S/M augments, and re-rolling the Gem of Many Facets trinket to get only one set bonus. However, overall it felt less strong mainly because it offered far less PRR, and a bit less Doublestrike. Sharing it, in case it feels preferable for others.
Note: In the right columns, items circled in red are bonuses that are given by the Dreadkeeper set but are not given here. The items circled in green are granted by this set, but not given in the Dreadkeeper option.
