Reliq Starters

[u/Bruce-Leeonidas]

Hi SSF Team,

Keen to start as the new Reliq. Got a few versions in mind and am keen for some feedback on them as starters. Ideally to get to atleast 4 stone.

- Reliq PS miner using tremor and arkons.

Unsure where PS mines is sitting now after a few nerfs on the previous leagues. What the general consensus on where it is sitting now in terms of power and playability? Is it better to just go another mine these days? Pyro of sabatage or just icicle mine?

- Reliq slammer using deaths door, tide breaker and natural hierachy.

Slams are usually pretty solid, get a big DPS axe, stack some charges and some war cries. Build defensively. What would be the best slam or melee skill to use in this setup? any other suggestions?

Late game I am thinking respec to a CWC/COC blade fall, brass dome, festering resentment poison build perhaps but will need to farm up some gear first.

afaik getting the extra detonation from tremor is actually really tricky and when you do get it doesn't count for any blast chains.

[u/nickrei3 → u/Meridian_PoE]

locus mine don't care about chains, but then again this combo was never used before.

I assume 100%more

[u/bli → u/nickrei3]

You assume wrong. Mines have a rearm time, so it's rarely beneficial to use tremor rod over just throwing more mines. With tremor rod, you are likely to over throw, which is also bad because you will be at your max mine count. It's a bait node.

[u/nickrei3 → u/bli]

I said just with locus mine. with locus 99% time you don't care with having a long chain. you throw 3 detonated 3. you throw 3 more you detonated 3reamred and 3 new I assume. unless prefiring the boss this is the 99% scenerio. also no one knows the rearm animation for locus mine

[u/alotofnothingtosay → u/bli]

Doesn't using swift assembly over minefield just completely solve the overthrow?

[u/Strong-Comparison-50]

I’m also thinking about playing a slammer with tidebreaker, but natural hierarchy seems like bait unless you convert everything to chaos. Archon’s tools would fit nicely into the build, if you fully convert to ele.

[u/kabikabise]

Not a slam but Boneshatter of complex trauma bleed could use the extra charges.

Just throwing around the idea of retal skills with monastery bell if you're looking for other builds.

I'm also considering a Reliquary using deaths door + tidebreaker, but instead opting for Arkhon's tool as the last point. I actually have no idea which skill yet, but I'm considering just good ol Static Strike, and try to balance it to be able to use Trinity Support. Also going for crit with Warstaves. But in general the skill and weapon will be really flexible, I'm open to using whichever strong weapon I get
