I plan to go 2:1 Int:Str dumping in Dex as needed.Every 5th level I'll put 1 point in Energy.All free attribute points gotten through quests will go into hp.
meh.. i run a riskier toon and i don't have the doubts you have (hybrid stat conqueror.. but I've played lots of hybrids already that's why i don't have the doubts)i think flame surge will make it clunky.. I'd rather put the points on adrenaline and core dwellerand why will you sacrifice vit and pierce?and of course you can reduce resists.. with items that israther what you should worry about is playing true hybrids only results to either a good char or a sh**ty char.. there is no average.. make or misswell, just a heads up: don't start as str + int 1:1 or even worse str + int + dex.. either ignore int first or str first.. personal experience is starting int is faster provided you know what to do.. str + dex is of course saferthen when you are ready to boost your 3rd stat, don't.. just save it and wait.. and don't pour it all at once.. it's normal for me to save 30+ unused stat points
- No Adrenalin skill tree?- Flame Surge full and full all shield attack proc?- Full Ring of Flame?
i just reread your postQuoteI plan to go 2:1 Int:Str dumping in Dex as needed.Every 5th level I'll put 1 point in Energy.All free attribute points gotten through quests will go into hp.lots of wrongs there.. for hybrids, you don't follow any ratio stat distributions.. this was what made my previous hybrid attempts failuresand WTF every 5th level into energy?and attribute points through quests into hp.. that was Poinas' teaching but that didn't account for hybrids.. and that was mostly for those not sure how to spend their stat points.. for hybrids, you need every stat point you can get.. just a quick theorycraft: something helm of immortality or even better of the mammoth, hale ring of immortality (you can even make it 2), myrmidons pendant, priams gate.. you can get about 2k health from those.. way more than spending 18 points to health
Just looked at that titancalc and I am confused.You have seen my recent post on flame surge, did you? Link. And that does not stop you from wanting flame surge on a juggernaut?What do you need batter for at one point exactly? You are aware that ring of flame costs 16 mana per second while doing approx nothing? Defense WPS with spells are redundant, better use one or the other. Unless you want to go physical spells, but I thought you want fire.TitanCalcYou can always swap flame surge with volcanic orb. And at that point you will just have to decide how you get debuff, which is important for you. I believe its best done with throwing weapons like winds of Asphodel, or perhaps some combination of Monkey Kings, Shen-Nong and twisted Coil of the Parasite.
Hey there!Juggernaut is probably my favorite class so I'll be happy to provide some input I see that you've skipped Volcanic Orb and decided to invest in Eruption/Flame Surge instead. I'm fully behind this decision, because VO is a huge skill point sink and the crowd control it provides is not vital for a tanky class such as Juggernaut. Eruption is much cheaper in terms of skill point investment and provides a ton of damage, so it's a must have. Flame Surge is rather underwhelming in terms of damage, however the -% enemy defense debuff it provides can be extremely useful in the later portions of the game. You see, the Defense tree, as awesome as it is, has a bit of a problem when it comes to mustering up OA and hitting monsters in Legendary. I wouldn't bother investing more than a point in Flame Surge's upgrades. I couldn't care less about having 0 CD or lower energy cost - it's a skill that I would only use to soften up the monsters before smashing them with Shield Charge/Batter.Stone Form is a great panic button, but there's no need to invest more than a single point in it (unless you plan to go heavy on the hp regen items, in which case the base regen that the skill provides could prove useful). The upgrade is worth investing a skill point too, since it adds 2 extra seconds to the duration.You should never skip the adrenaline tree, on any Defense-based class. It's probably the best thing that this mastery has to offer. Max it out using the spare skill points from Stone Form/Flame Surge.Rally is a great skill, but are you sure you want to max it? I doubt that your hero will have 10k hp to make full use of the heal. And if you take that away, there's really not much to be gained from maxing it - the duration and hp regen bonus have fixed values, and the armor bonus alone is not worth it. What I usually do is try to keep the skill at a level where it heals around 50-60% of my hp. This means that in Legendary (with +4 to all skills) it's more than enough to have 6 points invested in the base skill. Inspiration is definitely worth maxing out, and as for Defiance - I see it as more of a luxury skill. Definitely worth a point, but no reason to invest heavily in it until you've maxed out the more critical skills.Ring of Fire is an extremely energy-intense skill. Even a single point in it, combined with a maxed out Soften Metal, would result in 10+ energy cost per second (depending on the +skill items you have). And if RoF itself is maxed, we're easily looking at 20+ energy cost per second. I wouldn't recommend investing more than 1 point in this skill until you have found some damn good energy regen/energy cost reduction items. I would strongly recommend maxing out Shield Charge. The damage boost that it provides is invaluable.Another skill that you should consider is Rend Armor. It was greatly buffed in Ragnarok and while most people are not very enthusiastic about armor reduction (why bother with that when you can reduce enemy resistances, right?), consider the following - Soften Metal also applies an armor debuff; the same holds true for the Blacksteel Executioner that you've set your eyes on. If you stack these 3 sources you can end up with a very significant armor debuff, which should not be underestimated.I hope this was helpful
@tqrunner you are one of only few people i know who likes to play hybrids.. some may play a hybrid or 2 but those who build hybrids because it's what they like or what they think is good, i think i can count by my fingers on one hand.. and that's a shame, we are like endangered species i think you should have chimed in on this https://titanquestfans.net/index.php?topic=355.0aaaannndd...... care to share one of your hybrids? a guide or journal thread? a vid or pics with some explanations?
Batter tends to be my RMB skill and it is fantastic at clearing out the weaker mobs around you, even at 1 point because of how the shield abilities work
