The Annihilator - Ultimate Killer

[ScarletEdge]

Watched D-cow vid. Clear speed seemed low. Granted, you were using what seemed like early game gear. Would be nice to see how fast it can go with the right gear.

I'd like to see how someone can complete BRC at lvl90, if not carried by someone having good gear

good luck with the brains

Thanks for the opinions, guys. Now after I update the guide it looks more clear. Next two days will clear my gear and I will upload new video with showing you the skill how it looks and how it works. I just got a lot of work right now and don't have that time. You can post more information WHAT you want to see in the near future.

You can shrine craft orb of annihilation and just use the shrine on which gives it dmg and pierce since idk what dmg type is orb of annihilation.

Orb of Anihilation (thygood'ol BFG-86k) does magic damage so

if spell damage and physical/magic spell damage preffixes both spawn and stack u can technically get 80% physical/magic spell dmg max roll
having one of these modifiers spawn with Orb of anihilation and its pretty much a good enough craft
other useful ones could be Energy factor and +mana up to 501 free mana
so either Eerie or Enchanted shrine crafts while Eerie would give u more energy means more mana it also gives u more damage because skill/spell scales up with energy ofc but Enchanted shrines give u spell dmg which directly increases ur dmg so eiher way is okay

AFAIK Orb of annihilation have static 50k magic dmg and don't benefit from any spell dmg.

I watched your dcow video and I have to say it killspeed is kinda low.

Does Orb of Annihilation has a cooldown or is the mana cost just too much? Because if it's just about the mana cost, you should definitely shrine craft a necromancer shield that adds +3-5 Necromancer skill levels and +4-14 mana tide totem. Then you could just teleport to your minions using bend the shadows to move around and cast orb of annihilation all the time. This will greatly benefit your killspeed! Depending on the shrine you can get nice amounts of spell damage or -enemy resist as well. I wouldn't go for a runeword or SU tbh.

doesnt mana tide lock out spells? iirc it has melee\debuff mod on it

not as of two seasons ago unless it was changed recently

[HechtHeftig]

I figured it'd be best to make a video to show you how amazing Mana tide Totem is. (and no, Mana tide Totem doesn't lock out anything)



I've linked your guide in the video description. I hope you'll make it great!

btw: I really just used 2 garbage crafts without any other good modifiers. It's really not worth mentioning that garbage, but it still gets things done

This game is designed(or MOD to be exact) to be able to do all challenges with Tiered 6 uniques by the time you reach destruction act 1! so technically you can do most challenges with just some low level runewords or honorifics or Tiered uniques there is no need for any level 120 "good geared" character helping you UNLESS you got tcowed to level 90 and are practically naked with nothing but Tier 1 white armors well that is kinda your fault since you are supposed to have good enough gear to withstand the challenges and monsters in your current character's level while leveling and going through the game NORMALLY and do the challenges prepared with the best gear you could farm and find while leveling!

there are a couple of questions that popped up when I read through your guide.

4. cubing a rare item with a rare ring and a rare amu makes the item reroll with ilvl1. Hence you can‘t roll orb of annuhilation. That was stated previously already though.

That is completely incorrect ! when you put item level 1 at the Rare items Affix calculator in the documentation you can clearly see that it can still roll orb of annihilation O-skill if your still unsure here is a link to the preffixes/Suffixes https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/wiki/affixes
Lowering Item level to 1 only limits the chance of how many Prefixes or Suffixes are able to spawn on a single CRAFTED ITEM he is rerolling a rare item not a Crafted item with a Shrine ! there is a difference Rare items are Yellow and Crafted items are Orange !

I am having my doubts about this guide and its creator I am not saying that the guide is bad its just that its not structured well at all!! guide creators usually make a separate character which starts leveling from level 1 and they plan out on how to go through the early game and what build and if its possible to start playing the guide's build from what level and so on they THOROUGHLY Explain on how to get the REQUIREMENTS to actually being able to PLAY the build early on! I am especially looking at these things

You need 9000 mana to cast the main skill. So, you have to find a way to do it before you start. (HINT: signetes of learning)

there is no way in absolute hell you can farm enough signets with a level 90 or 100 character to get enough signets of learning to reach that 9000 mana cap unless you have a second character that can farm Nihalthak in destruction and mule the signets over
What is my Suggestion ?
- First off Scrap the idea of using honorifics only! that is a very big restriction and write more ways to reach 9000 mana! Ones that dont involve honorifics that is
- If you are still writing and editing the guide put WORK IN PROGRESS in the title and the thread so people know its not finished yet!
Now this is a question ? Why is the guide called "The Annihilator" when the Orb of Annihilation is treated like a secondary skill ? and all of your gears seems to focus on the

GRAVEYARD - 2nd skill. Kills everything except IMMUNE TO POISON

and each gear piece seems to focus very hard on poison skill duration and poison spell damage while the supposedly main your main skill Magic Damge ?

ORB OF ANNIHILATION - MAIN SKILL. Kills everything except Immune to Magic

I like this guide it reminds me of
