[S26] Glass cannon vs Bosses

[Diaco]

I figured as much, but to what end ? Is there any benefit in overstacking pierce or is the original poster simply referring to properly hitting the breakpoints for the bosses in question?

Just get 200 and you are good dude

200 pierce is only useful for Samael, Deimoss, anomaly and phoboss. Getting 200 pierce is generally not easy and you'd definitely sacrifice dmg/survivability for it, when 135 is enough for normal mobs and 170 for all other bosses.

[revolut1oN]

-_-

Dude asks what stacking pierce means in context of this build. Since it is designed to melt bosses like Samael it is obvious "stack pierce" here means -200, not -135 for farming, unless you want to farm with stormblast in Fauztinville >_>

tell me please how does orange text work on double stormblast sword, does it has some restrictions, why do you need buged offhand weapon? Does grandfather with double stormblast combo doesnt work anymore?

I don't know what you mean by bugged offhand, but orange texts on weapon dont work while in offhand, only in main hand.

Some dude wrote that in glasscannon video khalim will was used as na offhand, why? I dont know is it true, may be it was SU flail.

What does lighning pierce stacking mean ?
I thought pierce breakpoints were 135/170/200

Just stacking a bunch of the stat "reduce enemy lightning resistance".

I figured as much, but to what end ? Is there any benefit in overstacking pierce or is the original poster simply referring to properly hitting the breakpoints for the bosses in question?

There is! It's to counteract monster resistances. The cap on -res to be applied is -100. However, if an enemy has resistance, then further stacking is needed to hit the cap. So if an enemy has:

0 res: you need -100 enemy res to hit the cap.
50 res: you need -150 enemy res to hit the cap.
99 res: you need -199 enemy res to hit the cap. <-- This is the highest non-immune resistance an enemy can have.

So, get as much as you can without gimping yourself.

Well its strange but yeah he's using a flail....id really wanna know what kind of flail it is. Maybe a simple honorific to have more weapon orbs?

If you go through patch Notes from former iterations of Sigma you will encounter many changes about orange texts on items when used in dual wield Modus.
Many off those modifiers are made to be not working when in dual wield to prevent OP combinations or abuse of certain mechanics.

For some reason almost all one handed Quest items (Gidbin, WIrt's Leg, KhalimsWill) are not disabling the orange text modifiers.
So yeah in this setup Khalims WIll was used in offhand to keep the second Stormblast Projectile while being able to attack with 6 frames max rather than 7.
Among the Quest items Khalims Will simply has the most benefitial stats for this build (15% vit, ene, 20% max HP/Mana) to counter some part of the

Actually wizardspike works in offhand with every weapon ...It's not necessary to use quest item
Wirt's leg just looks better than other zero dmg items
