I’m not sure Vulkoors might is worth it. Do you have Vecna? If so the artifact 3pc and 5pc profane set are both solid alternatives to IoD gear. Honestly I think by the time factor slot for slot it’s better on the profane set for sure. This way you can only focus on the Dino weapon, keep vulkoors chosen and a Dino ring + acid ring from lob.

This is a WF 12A/6DH/2Ro but might give you some insight. My DPS went up after switching from IoD artifact and profane set. The set bonuses are better and most of the gear stats are better. Only thing is losing 15% helpless but you might be able to better slot in starless with a luck GMoF roll with Vulkoors Chosen and pick up a ring of baph. I actually got lucky with that roll but can’t use it. Anyways I don’t miss the helpless much because trash dies fast anyways.

Makes sense, thank you for the reply, will take a look at building around the Vecna 5 item profane set and slot in from there.

After taking a closer look at the Vecna sets the items seem much better slot for slot as you mentioned, it was not easy getting in the 3 sets but I think this might work. Other than the bow and MA Ring there is no raid gear in this set. I have not tried working out all the augment options to fill holes either but I think most of the major needs are more or less covered. I had to swap in Dynamistic quiver for the 8% doubleshot, and I can work in 3 full sets with both ring slots free which can be used for Dino Artifact ring and Bound Elemental ring of acid. Three sets are Vulkoor's Chosen: Artifact Poison Resist, Sneak die 3, Saving Throws 3, Dex and Con 3. Devil's Infernal Dance: Artifact all abilities 3, Doubleshot 15, Fort bypass 30, ranged power 15 and Forbidden Knowledge, Profane: PRR 30, all abilities 3, attack and damage 3, ranged power 15, Universal SP 25 and spell DCs 3.

Yeah bow seemed like it would be easier to gear even with Vecna. Being WF and utilizing SP for imbues, I found a bit of hinderance. And it took me alot to come off my the ToEE goggles because it is just a great item, but after looking through the overall gear breakdown, it just made no sense when things were covered elesewhere. I also switched my bard over to Vecna stuff, but melee is still better served with IoD stuff imo.
Losing the helpless hurts a bit, but the extra armor piercing is a solid (i prefer actually) trade from the artifact set. I rarely waste a hunts end on a fort bypass roll.

could add Helplessness back in on rings and bow with the 3set augs

You can also use a Legendary Arrowbound Topaz
Yeah sorry my gear link mentioned it was covered in augments but not clear. ITs an IoD random drop any quest.
Yes that was another consideration to having to reroll a LGMoF to have both the Vulkors Chosen and Starless Nights (and farm the elusive Ring of Baphomet). Definitely less grind, as many of us have tons of PN runes laying in a bag. I just wish there was a +3 Imbue Die version of these sets for my arty.
In r10 i would translate 1 SA to 2-3 ID (depending on spellpower. But squeezing the max of both is still priorrity on DPS builds. Especially if you can squeeze the next multiple of 7 out of your build.
Legendary Ring of Unnatural Accuracy instead of Bound Elemental Ring of Acid

Totally agree, and since I ended up getting a reaper version of the Leg Ring of Unnatural Accuracy before getting the raid ring I ran with it and never looked back.

The looming U66 Lamannia changes will completely change how ranged are played. I don't have any interest in ranged at the moment, and haven't played one in almost a year, so I won't be releasing an update to this build. I'm sure someone else will come along with a reference build if you want to play a thrower or use a bow.

So you have been playing an adrenaline build, or a sorc or druid then, because those will all likely be next(especially the adrenaline, it is an outlier)
