Delve top 5 over powerful and popular builds to delve deep

Most thanky builds won't have the dps requirement, its a job for a balanced character which is why pathfinders do so well (perma pots is more defence than any other class gets really)

I'm looking forward to seeing what is the "best" delve character though, been seeing people tap out incrementally here on HC which is pretty fun.

Edit: also are they really using toxic rain? I absolutely hated it, it was like blast rain that dropped traps -_-

I went with a generic jugg designed to farm uber elder as effortlessly as possible, we'll see how deep i can delve, rather than give a shit about how fast i can do it considering temp. leagues usually lasts 3 fucking months, haha. It's only been a few days, guys.

Eh, in all seriousness, i get the appeal, and that enjoyment factor you get out of this game is all that matters.

yea racers seem to use toxic rain along with caustic arrow since caustic arrow is a dps and mean while you can use some other skill to boost dps but if you dont like toxic rain no need to use it

ya right now i think this is less weeding out the builds, and more weeding out the players who are able to play the most and get the deepest. im trying to delve down but it takes so long just to go down 10 levels considering you'll often have to detour to the side or even back up to continue your path.

it will be interesting to see how this top 5 type of things evolves and progresses.
i absolutely do not think a CA build is going to be the top delver. maybe for early because its so fast and easy to build, but it will not have the damage nor the defense to get really far down.

one of the end game challenges is 600 delve level. i wonder what level the mobs would be at that point.

hell, what are the lvl of mobs at 300?

On that note, have we figured out what "more dangerous as you delve deeper" actually means?

All good builds. Probably do the Caustic Arrow build next month.

In fairness to rank #1... that's really the player, not the build. "good enough" played by an expert will trounce a "powerful and popular build" played by a dweeb like me.

In fairness to everyone else, rank 1 is being fed sulphite by his friends so he does nothing but delve, build/skill has little to do with his rank.

That's such a ridiculous comment. Sulphite is the easiest thing to farm you can run around Quarry. There is no skill involved in getting it. Delving deeper does take a good build/skill. Saying the #1 rank isn't skilled because people feed him sulphite is like saying pro athletes aren't good because someone hands them gatorade.

How do they feed him sulphite? I thought it was untradeable?

His group members open portals next to sulphite containers in high level maps. When he runs out of sulphite he visits his group members hideouts, enters the maps, takes the sulphite, goes back to delving.

Dang. So solo ladder without having to solo. Lame.

That’s why GGG was initially wanting the solo ladder to be SSF only.

SSF will show the true skill in the end (for delve at least). Standard is going to be deep but pointless to have solo delve in it. The least they should do is make it so if you joined a group it resets solo.
