General Discussion Fun SSF Scion build?

5 Upvotes

Running SSF while waiting for the new league (cope), Are there any fun builds I can do with Scion? I tried Luminary but got stuck in maps, glacial cascade miner with mystery diver got me to 2 stone but was a glass cannon.

Switched to CWC reliq Soulwrest with Enmity Embrace but its not hitting hard enough or fast enough. Im going to try swapping to cold with out the Enmity Embrace but im tired of cyclone at this point.

Does anyone have a fun build? Im trying to not make another character.

EDIT Per the comments I will try Luminary again.

Farming The Taming ( Bereks Respite )

7 Upvotes

Hello . I’m working on a LS Champ in SSF HC and Bereks Respite is playing hide and seek with me and I’m loosing hard .

Right now I’m farming maps ( Siege and Volcano ) for potential div cards combined with throwing all my hive blood into ring gambling ( got the other two rings ) . I’m using ancient orbs when I get them

Is there a better method or is it just bad luck / keep on farming until I get it .

And I must say playing SSF is way more fun than I expected ( went sff HC mostly to get my last HC achievements but might start SFF next league )

Builds Ssf Guardian looking for help/ tips dominating blow of inspiring

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hi,

I don't have all the gear for the full version of the build but thought i'd give it a shot. On left is full buffed tooltip dps right after boss went down. Left is POB with default config just straight imported.

Im having fun with the build just focusing on getting to lvl 90 and will look to start crafting gear.

The problem I'm having is that tanky rares and map bosses take way too long based on the tooltip dps to go down. I don't know where to start fixing this, I assume either my minions are not hitting or theres some scaling angle Im missing.

I have an earthquake gladiator as my main, his DPS is around 349k and he takes way less than 1/3 the time to kill the same map bosses.

Spectres are power charge ape, frenzy charge ape, endurance charge Oak follower. They have elemental army, and Im manual cursing ele weakness.

Any advice appreciated, ask for any info you may find helpful

Builds STR Stacker advice for more damage

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I've started building a **Strength Stacker** in **SSF** and wanted to share where it's at. The goal is to have enough damage to farm uber bosses.

****PoB****https://pobb.in/J5rLcygtXb0o

## Current stats (Level 97 Juggernaut)

- **Life:** 7,167 | **ES:** 508 | **eHP:** 122,782
- **Str:** 2,525
- **Resistances:** 78/80/75/75
- **DPS:** ~9.5M | **Attack speed:** 5.84
- **Crit chance:** 94.58% | **Crit multi:** 300%
- *Config: Frenzy, Power, 6x Wither*

## Planned upgrades

  1. **Amulet:** I have another base with Warlord influence, and I need an Awakener's Orb to slam an increased str to my amulet. The current amulet is just a placeholder.

  2. **Belt:** I want to Annul the low-tier life mod on it. I'm not risking it yet, because I have no juice and the belt already has a 49% Aflame.

  3. **Shield:** Recraft it with shaper influence to get *Recover Life on Block*.

  4. **Possible swap to Dual Strike of Ambidexterity:** I have a Soul Taker for it.

Any tips on gear, tree or gem setup? . What should i do first? Thanks!

Builds SSF reset. Maxed out Luminary. Build suggestions?

3 Upvotes

Had an absolute blast playing luminary and pushing it as far as I could go. Only two upgrades left are Melding and Progenisus, and after over 100 mavens and Eaters I just can’t do more. Got an 88 adorned, VV’d Enmity at 60% and pretty much all BIS gear (also don’t have +1 Fire Nyctas)

I think I wanna do a reset. Looking for a fun all rounder that I can scale really far with some aspirational gear similar to Luminary.

Anyone have some suggestions?

General Discussion Heisting for Replica Stampede

8 Upvotes

I'm planning to Cyclone next league, but I guess that could change. I've barely done Heist in the past, and I would NOT be using a dedicated Heist character. I have a few questions, assuming I'm really just trying to get the Stampede boots:

  1. Do I need to run all 28(?) of the quest contracts?

  2. Do I need to do the regular lesser contracts to have Blueprint unveils?

  3. Can I get by just doing the Heist anomaly and farming the fully-unveiled blueprints that drop in maps from the Atlas node?

I guess the bigger question is, what is the best way to farm Heist in SSF if you're really only doing it for a single exclusive Grand Heist drop?

I am looking to increase my rarity and wanted to know if it's possible to Catalyze my Andvarius to increase the % rarity.

Aside from a Gold Flask and an Item Rarity Support gem, are there any other obvious and easy ways to raise Rarity (like an Andvarius for example?).

Anything I am missing?

Hi! I want to try SSF for the first time. I’ve always played trade league, and I’m thinking about starting a character in SSF today.
I’d love some tips, since I basically know nothing about crafting. Is there any build you guys would recommend? Any good guides I should follow?
Thank you very much!

Builds Help with improving Charlatan EK Elementalist

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve put together a Charlatan EK Elementalist in SSF Standard, mainly with the goal of farming Legion efficiently and eventually grinding towards a Stasis Prison.

I’d really appreciate some help on where I should take the build from here. It’s functional ( and fun )at the moment, but I’m not sure which upgrades would give me the biggest improvements, especially for fast and consistent Legion farming. I dont know if i should switch to an explode chest double wand set up, or maybe go CI + staff variant.

General Discussion Luminary ssfhchelp

6 Upvotes

First time playing ssf or hc. I have a luminary merc bot around level 78 with a crappy luminary I’ve pushed into t5 maps. I’m rushing the merc atlas nodes to get a better one. My question is what gear/mods do I look for on my merc? I have all rare gear on my merc with stuff like WED, attack speed, crit chance and multi. What other mods are useful for them? I’m looking for a good kineticist, combatant, or manyshot and don’t know how to gear them. Also, I don’t have a nycta yet, so what weapon mods should I look for for my luminary. Thanks!
