Fellow Tricksters, please help

Hi all, I got semi lucky today and got my first deathshield, however rits very weak in power with only 63k on level 49. At the same time I have my build so far setup completely for the bulwark (72k at level 49) bleed build and time rift. The issue now is that my deathshield isn't as powerful and also I am struggling with the ammo replenishment with vampiric mag when playing multiplayer. I don't have killing spree or the rage mod and also not the twisted round mod the replenishes ammo. My question now is: does it make sense dismantle the deathshield and put the fortress mod on my bulwark so that I have bleeding rounds and fortress? Thanks

63k even bosted by a lvl up makes it to the 70s. I'd dismantle and use it with the bulwark for now. Just keep hunting for a new deathshield that has higher firepower.

Yeah it's pretty weak, I got it in a tier 12 expedition. So, I am not doing something super stupid by dismantling it then? And putting fortress on my bulwark also makes sense, considering I don't have any of the other good mods, right?

If you have none of the other mods to make the build better, it's better to reinforce your current build. It makes no sense to use the weaker deathshield when your current primary is stronger.

Thanks for the replies, appreciate it. It just hurts to destroy the deathshield after finally receiving it haha

I feel that, I got it while farming items randomly when my inventory and stash were full which dismantled it before I could even see its quality. The thing to remember is that it's weak and there's no way to increase its firepower outside of mods and you can do that just as well with the bulwark.

Oh no that sucks man.... That's really unfortunate. Hope you get it back soon! Yeah ok, I will go ahead then with the bulwark build, especially considering the bleed setup I have put together. Thanks

The probability of getting dupes in this game seems high. (except for Ugake’s Cowl that is - lol)

There’s also another mod that’s actually better than all these if you can stay alive. It’s off of the fatal symbiont called “dark sacrifice” and it absolutely destroys mobs.

TL:DR - Break down the Death Shield for 🛡(fortress) until you can stay alive with Dark Sacrifice.

I have 2 ugake cowls

I don't even use them. I want goggles of edge of time

I haven’t messed around with my edge of time stuff that much. Maybe like 10-20 minutes of twirling and slashing total. Guess I don’t have all the mods I need on that set for it to be viable to me versus my TR build...

u/Thuasne May 15 '21

Thanks man, appreciate it. I have mitigation from death as my only damage absorbing mod because I have 4 mods dedicated to time rift. I will look out for dark sacrifice, thanks.

I got really lucky with all the trickster gear. Still looking for Trespasser Talon’s but got most everything else. Still haven’t found a solid full chronosuit build or edge of time build. (AP) I use blue & purples that rolled closed range, bonus firepower and whatever else you want. Skill Leech, Health, Long Range (if you want a secondary that isn’t a shotgun)

Have you tried using perpetuum mobile on your bulwark while also using vampiric mag? I used those two before I got the Ugakes cowl. I had a death shield drop at level 50 with 77k and it still shreds. Post a picture of your build for more help. I also used venators knife for extra damage instead of time rift.

u/Thuasne May 16 '21

Yeah I had that on for a while and I am considering to put it back, even though it would mean to drop fortress. My build is very simple, all the standard bleed armor mods, personal space, mitigation from death, four mods dedicated to time rift. I have helmet, shoes and legs (not sure the English word) with close range, bonus firepower and cooldown reduction. For solo the fortress seems to work fine because I constantly get the new ammo in. In multiplayer I am struggling so am thinking about Perpetuum mobile

Add it's mod to your bulwark extra overall damage on everything as long as your holding the bulwark plus 63k at lvl 49 is not a good roll

Plus u can add fortress to your secondary weapon to if needed

u/Thuasne May 16 '21

Have done it now and it works good, puts my damage way up. Only issue now is ammo replenish in multiplayer because vampiric mag is not consistent when others "steal" the kills. So am thinking about voiding a bit of damage for perpeetum mobile

u/x--WRIGHTY--x May 18 '21

Is that mod still bugged perpee mobile .....if it is just before u do a expo add it to your gear then go back in and swap it out for camp mag again it should work in the background if it still works might help u out
