[3.12] HunterKee's💨Splitting Steel🗡️|| League Start || Fast Mapper & Max Block


"
In 3.11 Splitting steel is a new "MELEE" skill gem that shoot projectile and split in range (Basically melee tornado shot). It has build-in 60% chance to impale and really good flat damage in the gem. Also you could get the gem super early which make it a decent league start Zoom Zoom build.

When you consume a steel shard, it will keep split and clear packs for you. A new "Call of steel" can give us instant shard if there are impaled enemy nearby.

League Start Update:
Since POB update and in game testing and the bug we had, you could use Concentrated Effect instead of slower projectile.

Thus, you will need at least 30 int on gear.

For marks, sniper marks really good at early game, assassin mark on ring will be better in late game

The new jewel wont help that much on single target but really smooth the playstyle

You should get 100% speed with damage


Build Review

Reach rank1 Gladiator dps on 9/25/2020.

After I did all the thing and content, now I have a good understanding of splitting steel the skill itself.

Splitting steel has build in impale and split mechanic. This means with call of steel, our map clear are really insane. You dont really need a lot of investment to speed farm maps.

However, you do need some investment to deal good amount of single target damage. If you are not really understand standard attack build league start, it might has lack of dps.

In the end game min-max, para with saviour are our best choices of weapon because saviour summon will have infinite shard which can also proc by call of steel.

I will be working on my next build so I wont be upgrade my splitting steel gear that often.

Thanks for@Archernick invest a lot of currency into this build and give huge amount of feedback and how well it proferm with min-max gear

A really nice chest to scale projectile damage. Also try to get URSA, it will give you more dmg and use rallying cry.

Q&A
Why Gladiator?
Because compare to other choice, gladiator has pretty good defense also is really fast. Its gonna help us to farm Heist and not dying to lose every loot.

Why not melee crit multi when this is a melee skill
Splitting steel use weapon to fire a projectile. Our main damage are projectile which does not scale with a lot of "melee" keyword node. This gem dont have melee tag.

You will have call of steel when you use any steel skill. Is kinda like focus.
Sick looking build! Gah I can't decide between this or champion
What do you think about single target? Will it be good?

Well base on my purely calculation, with that unique sword you can end up about 1M shaper DPS which is pretty good for a zoom build.

Also, in game you will have the new Sniper Mark to help boosting your single target damage.

The return feature might be super good and I will need to test that out.
Thoughts on a deadeye for the chain? I’m stuck between scaling the impale damage vs pure projectile deadeye.
