time up the stairs sec. Hello and welcome Exiles to the conclusion of the volcanic Fisher Berserker Slammer. Now I went ahead and took the liberty to create a bit of leveling trees just to give you an idea for progression. This isn't perfect obviously. I've shoehorned a bit of the what my character currently is which is auto exertion into the leveling tree. Like initially, you won't start out with auto exerted war cry. What I would recommend is you start out with not worrying about war CRI until you get to cruel lab then grab the exert node then start putting in the auto exert. Quite frankly, you could do the auto exert earlier but it's going to require making sure you have some minus Mana gear craft stuff like that because that's really what's necessary to make it not too obstructive in terms of Mana cost. Now this character is fairly strong but I did not want to go crazy in terms of investment because there's other builds.

I want to play, and I've already played this character for seven days. I'm working on assembling gear for a trickster bow character. Hence, I didn't super max this character. That being said, there are gear progressions that I would take if I wanted to really perfect this character, which the biggest upgrades are things that are just, they're just a matter of how much money you have. Mage blood is a huge defensive, um, speed utility option. Heck, it could even allow you to go for crit if you were able to get a good crit roll on a mace, for example. Utmost might, another very expensive option, but it also allows you to go into suppression. One of the biggest weaknesses of the marauder tree is we're not close to suppression. For us to spec over to get suppression is very, very scuffed in terms of pathing, and this item bridges the gap. If you were able to get good suppression on this item and a mage blood, that would allow you to get suppression on your other gear pieces, suppression on this, and then do things.

like anointing inveterate maybe you get a double anointed rare amulet, where you put in an inveterate and another good damage. No stuff like that opens up the ability to be have a very big increase in defenses. It also allows you to go potentially into max res scaling, so you could consider these closer Max res nodes as well. I went without them, but that was more of a personal choice to go for more damage just to make my efficiency a little bit higher in farming, because at the end of the day, I am playing softcore and I'm trying to make some currency so I can afford this trickster build. So those are a little bit of things in terms of you want a mid Max, you know, getting a really good mace, those are the sorts of things you want to go for. I did not go for them personally, but you can go for them. You could even go for purity of fire, Sublime Vision, full fire conversion, stuff like that. I'm not going going to handhold you.

through that if you want to M Max the build though, this is the direction I would go. Now, outside of that, I'm just going to address a couple of main concerning questions. If you want to start the build but you can't afford untiring because it's very strong for the build, but it's also it got bought up and it's low supply, so it became very expensive. You can play the character with echo of creation without that, but the main thing you need is about 60,000 armor, which if you have about a 4K or higher armor chest piece and you follow the tree we have here, you will hit that. You need generic leech, which I would highly recommend. You just get a tattoo of the blood drinker, katava blood drinker tattoo, and that's generic leech. One thing I forgot last video is that when I swapped all my damage to elemental conversion, I originally was having fizz leech from this wheel here, and that no longer is the case, 'cause I

don't really deal much Fizz damage so you want this tattoo here for the generic leech to account for that and then also uh war cry CDR. Basically, as many tattoos as you can fit in the tree. If I got another strength uh roll on like a ring or something, I would have added five more of those tattoos. War cry CDR is damage because effectively it's you're balancing your attacks per second with how many intimidating cries can match up with that because the intimidating cry is double damage. So whenever you proc that, you're getting harder and harder hits. So the more CDR you can fit into the tree is ideal. So I don't have maxed out CDR, for example, we have strength nodes here that could be tattooed. I have a strength node here that could be tattooed and and I guess that's and a couple strength notes here. So that's like another five tattoos if I had another 50 strength roll. That'd be another 40 CDR that would be a damage.

increase um last but not least mcraft had a lot of people ask about MCE crafting. It's basically I would just get an okay fracture try to go for like maybe a T3 attack speed or a low-level hybrid Fizz maybe a T5 T4 hybrid Fizz maybe a T2 flat maybe a T3 or higher perc regular Fizz. And then you want to follow that up with either uh Jagged fossil spam or deafening essence of contempt going for specifically targeting the prefixes first. For example last video my mace did not have good attack speed. I just had benchcraft at attack speed and some accuracy I didn't need because I was going Resolute technique. Now I have attack speed on there all I really did was previous C change reforge speed a couple times until I hit good attack speed. And then I went for bench crafting on the unveiled percent attack speed. I could have taken it a step further and going went for multiple unveils but I just went for the

extra attack speed and called it a day. So, the thing I'm trying to say is prioritize crafting the prefixes first. The hard part is getting decent Fizz. Once you have decent Fizz on a decent mace base, I'd recommend 1.2 attack speed per second as a base attack rate. And then, if you put on attack speed, it should be like 1.5 or higher. Um, that sort of thing. That is where you want to do. Target the prefixes first and then follow up trying to do speed on the suffixes or an unveil or a benchcraft type of thing. All right. And if you're starting out on a budget, don't try to copy the gear I have here. The gear I have here is going to probably be too expensive. If you're just like you literally starting the league fresh, you have no currency at all. Look at my league starter setups. Look at day two. Look at day one. The gear I had there was super super scuffed gear that was just basically designed to be cheap.

strong for the price. I was doing things like V's Visions, cm's heart, Immortal flush. These are items that are like few chaos items but they give a decent amount of power. Eventually though, the rare gear is a lot more important to have good rare gear, but you can't do that until you have currency and you need to farm that currency somehow. So look at those budget setups if that's what you want to do. All right, overall, my review of the character is 10 out of 10 damage. For the investment, it's probably a six or a seven for me. In terms of defenses, the defenses were a bit too lacking in terms of Elemental spells because we didn't really have suppress. We didn't have that easy access point. Utmost might would fix that, but that's just more investment that I didn't want to take into the character. And then outside of that, our sustain was very good with the self-hit, uh, Divine judgment and tiring. That stuff works fantastically. I'm very happy with the

character's clear speed. You hit once. It goes and auto-targets enemies around and explodes. Very fun. Can recommend. Um, so yeah, that's the overview of the character. I led with some clips of the character clearing, uh, a few different things. We'll end with doing, I guess, a showcase of an Uber. See if I have an Uber to do that. I can showcase for you. I have either Uber Elder or Uber Synth. We'll do Uber Synth 'cause I kind of want a Retch and Drine. I might use it in my Trickster character. We will see. I haven't decided. So we'll go and do one of these. This is a Uber Cortex. And I'll give you a little look-see at what this character looks like at our current gearing and our current setup. Go ahead and swap to the main screen cover and let's get into this. We have a gain 192% chain six times. Beyond accuracy and endurance charger hit. This isn't too bad. This is just kind of a one stat to two stat. Uber Cortex, roughly.

the gain 200% is dangerous. Uh, there's some Fizz attacks that will be able to hurt us quite a bit, but for the most part the game play should look like this where you just kind of slam and move, slam and move. Now my client currently is lagging. I've been having some lag issues. I think it's maybe because I have Chrome open or something. I don't know. I've been having think it's probably my CPU. Yeah, my CPU is getting kind of wrecked here. I don't know. My PC isn't the greatest and its age is starting to show. I think I'll probably have to upgrade pretty soon. But anyways, we'll go ahead and fight this Uber cortex and uh, the next project if you are curious. I'm going to be doing a bow trickster. I haven't mapped out the tree, but it's going to be using the new um, the new ES gain cold is extra damage bow mod. I'm going to combine that with

the inst stack uh synth impul that you can get on Bose. We'll see how that turns out. This is what it looks like fighting Uber bosses. Most of them, your DPS just is complete Overkill, and you will just shred them, but it's a pretty chill little time. Our defenses' biggest weakness is spells in death ball phases right now. Suppressed, we don't have, and that's where, for example, I'm fighting Uber shaper with about four balls. If I get hit by four balls in the death ball phase right in quick succession, I will die. I could maybe, if I proog my molden shell, I might survive it, but when he goes into ball phase, I can't fortify off of him, so I lose that defensive layer. And then on top of that, um, if I'm slamming to continue my regen from Entiing, for example, I will be losing my visual Clarity, and it's a lot harder to see the ball phases when I have all these like volcanic Fishers going off.

cuz they do have a pretty loud visual effect. I would say Trad those guys real quick then we'll move on to the final face. We'll pop our berserk for that I guess this thing is going to keep doing stuff no matter what. I don't know how that works okay final final uh two bosses those guys down quickly and that is an Uber cortex for the most part that's how pretty much all Ubers go. The biggest thing you have in danger here is cuz the defense is kind of a 6our 7 is we're lacking the ability to easily survive ball phases without having to play them a little bit mechanically correct which I'm not great at and I'm sure a lot of you would fall in the same category as myself as basically just getting hit by everything and yeah anyways that is the Berserker volcanic Fisher hopefully you guys have enjoyed the Journey of League start to where we got to now and uh hope you look forward to our next project which the

next project is probably going to be my super high end. I'm going to invest a lot into it. I'm going to commit a lot, a lot of time to setting it up well project, and I'll do daily. I don't know about daily, but I'll, I'll do multiple uploads, uh, for the progress. We'll see how the character turns out. I don't know if it's going to be good or not, but, uh, yeah, that is the plan. Hopefully you guys enjoyed this little journey, and as always, take care Exiles and peace out. Have a good one.
