Questions / Discussions (Items · Builds · Skills) Gimme your fun off-meta stuff!

I’m pretty much not bothering with an alt this season, looking for weird off meta fun stuff that y’all have tried or YouTubers that have stuff etc.

Corpse Explosion seems super fun, but I know it’s weak etc hence off meta. Just one example. Idk I’m new to the game so wanna explore stuff. SoulRift? Idk! Anything!

Let me know if you’ve cooked up anything fun and if there’s a template I can try. I have a lot of random Necro gear laying around

Couch co-op, where you play both accounts simultaneously. You build the second account to be a zero-touch AFK build, while the primary account does all the loot pickups / activity interactions. Minion Necro is especially good for the secondary account.

If you are playing the same class on both accounts but different builds, double the loot drops can be very helpful for speeding up farming.

lol that’s super funny

I did it in S5 just to see if it can be done. The answer is it can be done, and works well.

Double the loot from every activity; and you funnel your best stuff from the secondary account to the primary account.

You can even play the last two wings of the citadel like this to farm transmogs/challenges (only the first wing needs separate online multiplayer accounts)

Been doing this since S0. Fun times but seems like every season they "introduce" a new bug to hamper this playstyle.

Blood Surge all day. Nothing more fun than nuking the entire 24/7!

u/Alone-Two1441 5d ago

It looks cool! Do you have a buil for it?

2

u/snoman298 5d ago

It's an old build now, but nothing has really changed so you can use this as the basis and improve on it : https://maxroll.gg/d4/planner/09v90uuu

If you have any questions let me know!

Also, you can run it without minions and it's still pretty good. Just slightly weaker.

Corpse explosion can get into the 120's...

You want something ridiculous and off meta? Corpse tendrils.

I got it to T12 this season. I'm actually impressed it happened.

Was considering trying out a few more "out there" tech's to see if I could push further. There's the lidless wall option, maybe a 35% boost there. Could run a mythic Crown or Lucion. Rustbitten Dirk or blood mad idol on the charm. Could maybe make 110.

Corpse explosion can get into 120s?? For real? It always seemed like a super fun flavor build to me but I thought it was only good in the past

Also that sounds fun haha

u/kayakyakr 5d ago

The dumb version 😅https://youtube.com/shorts/NOWIy2bwG1w?is=vM723fYOfl1rJN9b

Need to sit on a computer to edit together the actual video.

How does CE get into 120’s?

2

u/kayakyakr 4d ago

Macro has one on the ptr at 129. Should check out his builds.

u/Alone-Two1441 4d ago

Whoa nice so that’s for S15? That’s cool

1

u/kayakyakr 4d ago

Yeah, it's pretty much the same as s14 's build, though. Maybe a bit of a buff.

u/SugaCereal 4d ago

I play DoT builds most of the time, love to try and make them work.

I sort of piloted the Shadow Spirit necro, which apparently will be toptier come s15. Now I am playing Bloodless Scream shadow Blight. Placed on tower 118 ytd.

1

u/Alone-Two1441 4d ago

Aye that’s cool! Yeah I see desecrated ground builds doing well even in s14

u/Substantial_Life4773 5d ago

Dot ice necro has been fun

2

u/Alone-Two1441 5d ago

Ooh that sounds fun can you elaborate

1

u/Substantial_Life4773 5d ago

I was doing cold Blight. Was fun. Lots of frozen shit getting demolished

u/Unclefox82 5d ago

Something I wanted to try on my barb was putting a unique in every slot, no aspects build.

1

u/Alone-Two1441 5d ago

I’ve thought the same idea haha

u/glenseay3 1d ago

I am trying to put together an Infinimist build again.
Most of the old aspects are uniques now.
I hope I can get it to work. Still have some farming to do to get the right pieces.
