[3.1] Inferno Sprinkler Knight: Uber Lab - T16 - Shaper - Elder - League Starter (Molten Strike)

Yeah i've been using dual elder rings at the moment. Dropped MoM and went full life. Am at about 6.2k life at level 83.

No content has been an issue so far, but I have only done the 4 corrupted guardians + elder on white maps.

Highest mapping content so far i've done to like t13 no issues.



No dying sun yet but i'm saving up. If things start hitting too hard then I may swap to the MoM version with thiefs torment, as the elder mod for mana gain on hit is super low (like 2-3 or something).

Will report back once I do some harder stuff :P

EDIT: I should say im using a 4L wild strike to aoe clear, working fine so far but damage could definitely be better. I am just sick of using sunder as I said a post back, but I will most likely end up doing it if content gets too hard.

So I've started with this build and got to maps yesterday. So far cleared Tier 11, haven't got any higher tiers at the moment. Build is certainly doing fine, even on a budget :) You can check my character for comparison. Bitbite, you have got some great gear there, hope you enjoy the build.

I have been testing different skills for clear since I'm using Tabula, and I think Wild Strike does seem like the best option, even better then Sunder. Problem is that it uses a green gem... For this reason, I have been playing with Ancestral Call Molten Strike, and it certainly works fine. Slightly slower, but you don't have to sacrifice any red/blue gems for a weaker green. I actually also prefer it to using Sunder.

Opening post has been updated, more updates soon to come. Old post is now archived in the second post for reference.


Update: My character on a 45 Chaos budget so far completed corrupted T14 Dig map: Vulnerability, Temp Chains and some other nasty mods. Can't wait till I afford enchant helmet and Brutus.
Update 2: After buying +2 projectiles helmet, I done corrupted Twin Colloseum. Run out of higher tier maps now :C

What can I do better in a 80c ish budget?

Maybe better rolled Efficient Training and other jewels. Better rolled Thief's Torment, so you can get a belt with more strength (fire + cold + strength instead of fire + cold + lightning). This also depends on how much you are overcapped, you might need this lightning res on your belt anyway.

However, just getting some more strength on a jewel here and there isn't going to give you a lot more value. I would save up some more currency and get either Dying Sun or +2 or +3 projectile helmet - this kind of upgrade will be a lot more noticeable. It depends if you want to wait and spend 2ex on an upgrade or spend 1ex now but have some better stats immediately.

Anyway, unless you are going to be farming Lab a lot, I would unspec Combat Stamina cluster and unlock another jewel socket nearby, maybe unspec one life node by Constitution and put saved points into Righteous Decree, since mana nodes behind MoM were slightly nerfed, additional mana might be a better choice. I find sustaining mana slightly harder when bossing, that is, my mana is usually the first one to go down, so having more of it will be beneficial.
Sorry, just realized you aren't using MoM version :) Personally I haven't tried this build without MoM yet, so please let me know how it performs.

So, how would this build look with the new meme sword? Looks intriguing on paper.

Short answer: it wouldn't.
You can get 5.5-6k life at level 90 with Oni Goroshi as Elementalist but that's about it, no other defensive mechanisms.

This sword is better suited for Slayer or other classes that can get regen/other defenses a lot easier, like Inquisitor or Gladiator/Necro. Sub 6k life without Vaal Pact and no other defenses isn't going to be playable in higher tiers.

Is it worth to make pure dyadus build?
I mean, ca you do any of end-game content withour brutus'?
PoB shows ~35%-40% less dps then brutus' btw.
Thanks for info.

Yes and I have done all (well, majority of it) content with Dyadus before transitioning into Brutus Sprinkler. All Guardians (rare Chimera, Hydra and Minotaur deathless) and Shaper (with a few stupid rips, but still 3 portals to spare). Uber Izaro was a joke, I pretty much facetanked dual sword Izaro jump slam with Charges, then killed him 2 seconds after he landed. Also done Esh, Tul, both Abyss Liches (in red tier maps) and yellow Elder, all deathless. Abyss jewels provide great dps boost to Dyadus build. I did have +2 Molten Strike projectiles helmet when doing this high tier content, so keep this in mind.

I haven't tried Uber Atziri, and with a lot of these fights you need to know the mechanics to survive, even with 5.4k life and 2.4k mana for MoM sometimes I was just unlucky/stupid and got killed in split seconds.

It all depends on your expectations and budget, with Abyss jewels and investment even Dyadus can be made into a scary build. Don't expect sub 5 second corrupted Guardian kills with a 1-2ex budget and you'll be fine :)

Edit: I have been testing life based, VP version of this build, and it does perform fine, dps is a lot higher, but obviously build is a bit squishier. I've added pastebin for it and rewritten some some parts of the guide to include it. Definately not recommended for newer players or on a budget, since you need experience and good gear to pull it off.
I've also "fixed" my recording issues, so I'll be uploading some videos soon.

Added Shaper and all 4 Guardians videos.

Using your build and its awesome. But im newbie player and have some question.

Now im using Dyadus small budget build. Why not take the Vitality Void? Its bad?

And like i said previously im newbie. Now i have Dyadus, Tabula, Shaper's Touch, Alberon's, Thief's Torment, Ngamahu Tiki so what items i need next? Rush brutus, or save for Dying Sun, or Xoph's Blood. I mean what a item priority of them.

Next question about gems. Im using gems comb:
1)Molten Strike + Elemental Damage + Elemental Focus + Concentrated Effect + Multistrike + Fire Penetration
2) Orb of Storms + Critical Strikes + Faster Casting + Blood Rage
3) Shield Charge + Faster Attacks + Fortify
4) Flame Golem + Lightning Golem + Cast When Damage Taken + Molten Shell
5) Cast When Damage Taken + Immortal Call + Increased Duration + Project Weakness
so i have 1 item (shield) with empty slots, im thinking about Anger but that I can still in 3 slots do not know. Fire pen + Clarity?

Sorry for bad Eng and big respect for build. Know im 62 complete 2 labs and die 2 time for the whole game.
