Pluck because it works with repeater (4 times the effects).
I think it also works with improved precise.

That's a strong argument for Pluck. Assuming you're playing an Artificer, how does Pluck compare to epic strike Galvanic Blast and its upgrade from the Machrotechnic tree that will do an AOE blast around you using Electric spell power and potentially stuns those that manage to move within melee range of you? Anyone have experience using both of these for comparison?Pluck because it works with repeater (4 times the effects).

Yea, you correct, "The Pluck of a String" and 5s CD. Spell Strike is for Feylocks. Additionally, Pluck works for whole bolts volley, not only for 1st. 8)Assuming for a ranged build, you'd use Epic Strike from Fatesinger, that would be "The Pluck of a String" which is 5s CD, not 2s CD. That is unless the wiki is wrong. That's still 3 times faster than 15s CD, so Fatesinger is still the better choice. Or is it assumed that you ignore the ranged option and use the Fatesinger Epic Strike spell option, which is indeed 2s CD?
Pluck is not great but is only 5 seconds cooldown, add a couple of sonic damage in top of the physical damage and is helpful against some enemies with high prr. Pin is good as a emergency CC and its aoe started to work a lot better the last week i usually alternate between both depending on situation.
Funny enough, I just got the macrotechnic tree and etr'ed into bubble build over the weekend. But to level up I took galvanic+hammer and primal stormcatcher+thundersnow with sky mantle and lightning runearm. At level 20 they are destroying everything even though I'm using melee spec. I can only imagine what would be happening if I was spec'ed into casting. So I would argue if caster go macro strikes.That's a strong argument for Pluck.

Nice to hear that galvanic+hammer is strong at level 20. Please let us know if they still perform well once you hit legendary levels.Funny enough, I just got the macrotechnic tree and etr'ed into bubble build over the weekend.

But if you are pew pew pew pew (that's 4xpew) you gotta go fatesinger. There is literally no comparison after hunt ... ended (pun intended).
You won't get access to the Soldier of the Feaith feat, which is the main reason for taking the extend. This leaves you with two extra feats to choose.Why not? The first-life iteration would be something like:
You have to make compromises compared to a 98 AP / 75 EDP endgame build, of course, but nothing hinges on having that many points to spend AFAICT.
- INT 18 (+level-ups) DEX 16 (+3 tome for IPS) CON 16; or skip IPS like that build, dump DEX to 13 for Precision, pump up CON
- 41 Battle Engineer / 17 Warforged / 11 Harper Agent / 11 Vistani Knife Fighter
- 38 Shiradi / 14 Fatesinger / 11 Shadowdancer (or drop SD, swap Mithral Body for Adamantine Body, and maybe put those points into Macrotechnic)

I hope I see this post a bit earlier.I dont get that feat strategy...Drop WF: Ranged, Extend, and Soldier, pick up Dodge Mobility and Shot on the Run. Thats 5% Dodge 2 MDB and 6 RP, vs 2 RP and +3 damage, and you dont have to manage an annoying 5 min buff.
I hope I see this post a bit earlier.
I ER and pick WF: ranged, IPS and single weapon fighting yesterday
Regret picking IPS, archer focus is much easier to use.
So...how might everyone be building this arti 12, wizard 6, rogue 2 imbue repeater build with expanded clip and FS strikes for endgame? Would appreciate some direction on this build.Assuming you don't mind multiclassing, everyone seems to be running arti 12/wizard 6/rogue 2 imbue build with repeater, expanded clip and fatesinger ranged strikes for endgame.
Change to GXB +Fusilade for boss fight! 8)Now pew pew pew (and eventually pew pew pew pew)
Go tier 5 battle engineer and grab fussilable and thundershock and the imbues and the doubleshots. Go core 3 eldritch knight for the imbues. Go assasin 2 for evasion and the imbue dice. Important to also spend 8 points in harper agent for the trance.
Cast greater elemental weapons and the level 3 spell that gives you int to damage.
Now pew pew pew (and eventually pew pew pew pew)

Appreciate your input. I'll do some research on the feats you mentioned as I'm working on this build.Heroic feat: you might try dodge+mobility+shot on the run. Other choice can be nimble finger that sync with epic destiny in shadowdancer; IPS for more multi target; single weapon fighting for hp.
Race can be any but going WF but save you a feat by just taking light armour feat. Might take fluidity as well, so it balance out. Most common is gnome/WF… gnome you can possibly get expand crit on light repeater.
Epic feat and alignment: Chaotic neutral should be good for the chaos feat and more imblue.
Sadly this game isn´t really that responsive. at least not for me as EU player. keeping swaps to a minimum and you will go above the slight dps gains you will make in a theory world; aka getting stuck with a worse overall choice of weapon for a period of time, keeping you focused on the task at hand and I´m also fairly sure, at a 101% chance, that swaps overall contributes to group lag = less dps. That said, everyone should aim for at least an 1k temp hp proc swap no matter class.Change to GXB +Fusilade for boss fight! 8)
