[S25] Just The Tip - Cain's Heirloom Rises at Dawn (3 Min Uldy)

Hi. It's no secret that Rising Dawn is fun and pretty strong. You've seen Sins, Zons and classic Dins play it, but have you ever decided to become a Horadrim and pick up where Cain left things off? Become so obsessed with acquiring additional experience that nothing else mattered?

Probably not. If you had, then your damage would look something like this:

That's right, with the power of books, you too could hit people with the tip of your hard cane.

The Darkness

These have less MO space, no EF, no potential for life, but are easy to find and give good damage. Aim for good rare rings tho.

Low +skills, high PMSD and energy. For a rare amulet to beat this, you need really high PMSD and XP. And you still need to make up for the energy loss.

Good sources of experience:
Glove crafts: Up to 6%
Helm crafts: Up to 10%
Belt crafts: up to 10%
Rings: Up to 6%
Amulets: Up to 10%

Vial of Elder Blood: Up to 25%

Book of Laz upgrade: 5%
The Sleep with Baal Trophy: 10%
Getting good rolls on all XP charms

XP Shrines (these are everywhere and it's a free 75% spell damage)

Jewelcrafting:
There is safe way which is crafting with Zod runes.

Then there's the crazy balls deep middle of league and you've got 1000 ACs to spare...Using Lum runes. You'll want to roll EF and 2% XP. Ideally with energy or PMSD.

Leveling:
It's a din.

Skills:
Stormlord SMAX
Tainted Blood SMAX
Superbeast SMAX
Blessed Life - Until you're at 50% Phys Resist
Divine Apparition - 1
Rapture - Enough to hit max FHR and FCR breakpoints
Sacred Armor - Everything you have left

Conclusion:
Yes I will break 100k this season.

@Ben: Where's my damn 100% deimoss?

Really nice thing you got going on there, by the looks of it much better than what my visioned amazon would have been.

'' the whole idea that we nerf builds based on what guides are poppin' is just weird, it just happens that a lot of the times the strongest+easiest builds get a guide made for them. I always found it fascinating that people think we're trying to turn people away from the game by "nerfing fun things". And many times they get the timing wrong - thinking a certain nerf is due to a video/guide/person when we already done the change weeks or months ago from that event. So the idea of not making a guide due to fearing a nerf is just stupid.''

If you think a showcase of a relic build is the reason rising dawn gets a possible nerf next season ur dumdidum.

Thanks for video.

But What is the power of books?

It's a joke. Deckard Cain read books and gained knowledge/experience.

Damn what a sick char. Have you tried Sam?

So that damage only comes out as an item?

Over 800% Elemental Damage, Over 1k% P/M Damage.

Looks like damage that can't come out with just the items you equp.
How is this possible?

Pinball wrote:Damn what a sick char. Have you tried Sam?

Yes. I would need to make some changes to get more resists and HP. Also I'd have to not suck ass at dodging all the stuff lol

But in my few attempts, I know I can damage him really significantly. So it's a matter of surviving.

I see. Would love to see your Sam kill video.

Also with this big invesment, i think you should try other caster skills later for fun.

Yea I've tried other skills from relics and items with oskills. Without pierce it's a little rough, but the tooltips can be funny sometimes.
