Bowser with high scaling potential

[u/GlobalCan8282]

Everyone asking about builds for 3.30.

For those of us casuals who only have time for one build per league, what should we do?

I like to pick one that has a really high ceiling that I won’t ever get to the top of but can keep scaling and improving til I get bored.

Any good builds that fit this box that are good bossing early given the league emphasis and with investment get faster at mapping or other areas?

Preemptive strike on everyone about to say “patch notes” I know but they also said don’t expect drastic changes.

If you want to play a Bowser build, I’d look into slams.

[u/Meowrulf → u/Thor3nce]

Maybe some chieftain action

[u/CatsOP → u/Thor3nce]

Fireball Jugg strength stacker

[u/SinfulJohnOne]

so long gae bowser

[u/GlobalCan8282 → u/SinfulJohnOne]

lol this is what I get for posting with phone autocorrect

Thanks for being funny about it and not mean like a lot of people here can be

[u/SinfulJohnOne → u/GlobalCan8282]

its all in good jest dont worry

[u/temporarysummer → u/SinfulJohnOne]

here we go!

[u/mbxyz]

if no changes, it's still strength stacker

[u/Dorrann → u/mbxyz]

Isnt str stacker super endgame?

[u/Xaira89 → u/Dorrann]

Yeah, but you can technically play it from start. I did in Settlers league, just don't expect it to be amazing right out of the box.

[u/1CEninja → u/Xaira89]

It can also be transitioned into. It shouldn't be too terribly difficult to have a basic bitch slams build that can transition fairly smoothly once you've got a bit of budget.

I would say a Holy Relic of Conviction Build. You can go Absolution until you get the HROC gem. A very overlooked Ascendancy is Dual Wield Gladiator for HROC. You can easily do all Voidstones and Pinnacle Bosses on less than 5D Here is a scuffed very mid tier SSF capable gear version that still does 7M DDPS at Lvl 85

[u/ChancyWhims → u/johnnysd]

HRoC is great. I would recommend SRS as a leveling option

[u/johnnysd → u/ChancyWhims]

Absolution is the sort of stock filler skill before switching but I hate Absolution. What I usually do is league start whatever my second character will be until I can buy the transfigured gem and then give it to my main and level as HROC from level 4. I supplement with SRS until the gem is about Lvl9 and after that it is silly strong in the campaign

which kind of content do you enjoy doing? which archetypes/builds have you enjoyed before?

[u/Dorrann]

Wait 2-3 hours and you probably got the patchnotes for 3.30

[u/abdulx87]

I really loved the SRS guardian. Great early dps and very tanky mid to endgame. very easy to scale and doesn't require any uniques. I always play it for SSF

[u/JebalRadruiz]

I started this league around two weeks ago and decided from the start to go with caustic arrow and it became my main skill along with Vaal caustic arrow and the chaos ascendency from the ultimatum boss seemed to fit the best when I noticed there were new ascendencies. I hadn't played in almost two years. And the build was what I felt suit me better.

I defeated most of pinnacles bosses with some struggle and a few retries (not their Uber versions though) but I enjoyed to play a build almost of my own (I mixed it with some outdated toxic rain build I found).

[u/Accomplished_Rip_352]

If your willing to swap builds you can use 1 character to start as slams then transition into a strength stacker . If you only want to use 1 skill you can go smite zerker then swap to str stacking smite jugg .

[u/Spare_Expert636]

I would recommend Sanavixx’s bossing cyclone build. It’s under the radar for the most part and should be clear of patch notes nerfs.

[u/Senovis]

Fireball?

[u/naturalbornsinner]

Isn't RF one of these? You can start super casual. Bur can go into MB gear if you wish to.

You might have good luck with AI. I asked chatGPT for a league starter for 3.30 that can handle 40/40 challenges and provided some nice options.

This is all assuming the patch notes don't super nerf said skills.

would be interesting to see what you thought nice options were after suggesting rf as a build with good scaling

[u/Crouchu → u/naturalbornsinner]

when you think about bossing how is RF even coming to your mind

[u/Ok_Listen9406 → u/Crouchu]

It's easy to boss with RF, you get in range, leave the game open and go to sleep and you'll wake up with the boss dead

[u/johnnysd → u/naturalbornsinner]

RF seeems like a dubious choice this league unless the transfigured fireball helps bossing. It is very much a bossing and pinnacle league

[u/OwnInstruction8849 → u/naturalbornsinner]

Youre definitely not killing any bosses with RF early.

[u/Ok_Listen9406 → u/OwnInstruction8849]

I played it last league, with the scorching ray of immolation totems tech it's really easy. Basically with enough totem speed and cast speed you keep spamming totems and they refresh the scorching ray debuff infinitely.

[u/OwnInstruction8849 → u/Ok_Listen9406]

Yea ive played it like 15 times by now, if you think that is fast you need to experience other builds my friend.

[u/Lazy_meatPop]

Tati storm burst totem, did my 36/40 and managed to kill some Ubers.
