hey guys, I want to do an update to my Lancing Strike Slayer. First, let's just do a map showcase. So, a regular tier 17 map, I'm just going to boss rush. Yeah, this character's turned out very, very well, very, very strong, and having a lot of fun with it. I do think the endgame of Slayer is probably going to be one of the best tier 17 mappers in the game. The reason for this is how many map mods you can avoid as Lancing Strike Slayer, which a lot of other fast MPP builds can't. Namely, build, build, right? Yeah, let's quickly bu to this map. Um, absolutely no issue whatsoever. Now, yeah, you can pretty much ignore almost every single map mod on this build, and eventually I will get to the point where I can ignore every single map mod. It will just require more and more currency, but yeah, that's something I could not do on a bow build. That is something I would be able to do on this character, which is pretty nice. We just do the boss real quick. It's also very, very tanky after.

get all these items and all that. As you can see, the damage is pretty good. I'll show you the M mods after. Um, but you pretty much stand everything like a point like this. Aonb boss is a little bit long as you call like three different bosses. But yeah, boss itself died in like two seconds or something. And the map mods n boss had 65% monster life, 13% increase AOE, and 102 monster Elemental resist. So the boss was pretty tanky. Just remember for that. And it still died practically instantly. So yeah, let's go over the updates. Let's go over what you can improve in your character and all that. First, I want to talk about what you can do. So I always get a lot of these questions, and this will all be an updated FAQ down below. But yeah, what do I need for tier 17? What should I upgrade first? All that. I just want to answer some common questions. So defense stats, make sure you have fortify and chest implicit right here. It is the eer or World chest implicit. You can be

any tier, but High tier is better for more consistency. Next, endurance charges. So you get endurance charges from both this wheel right here before Rices, disciple of the unyielding, and you get it from enduring cry. You need to use enduring cry on bosses. Very, very important. Endurance charges are a lot of your damage reduction. Make sure you use an enduring cry. Third, spell suppression. You either need 100% spell suppression or luck. If you want to tier 17s, you really need 100% unless you might just die quite a bit to just being unlucky. Yeah, but if you're not 100%, make sure you are taking this node right here, which is chance to suppress spell damage is lucky on the spell suppression Mastery. Once you have 100%, you can unspec out of this node. And lastly, try to aim for Hybrid Armor in evasion bases. Even I don't have all that because it's kind of hard to only get armor in evasion bases. So I just want pure Evasion for now, but eventually I do want to switch to armor.

and evasion. You can also use a granite flask with that as well, and you'll be pretty tanky overall versus his hits. Lastly, more so of more endgame thing, but uh Al immunity. This is how you get it, by the way. It's ancestral Vision, which is quite expensive right now. Things like eight divin. You need this plus, I believe, 110 spell suppression. So overcap spell suppression and this wheel right here, the thick skin wheel or four points, and then chest craft for 25% chance to avoid elal ailments. Once you have all that, you are ailment immune. So once again, it's 110% spell suppression, um, which you cannot see like in game. You have to use a PO, but yeah, you get orat spell suppression by tattoos, which are also like one Divine each, a little bit expensive. So you don't have to worry about it right away, but I'm just let you know that is how you get am immune on this build. And if you don't have Rices, then you can just craft and avoid on your

boots. And therefore, you won't need overcap suppression in the first place to make it a little bit cheaper. Next upgrade order, so yeah, quickly going upgrade order real quick. If you're just fresh off maps, get a six-link. These are very, very cheap. Corrupted six-links are probably like 15-10c right now, right if not cheaper. One tamon Tam's also very cheap right now. I think like 40-50c. Lethal Pride. As soon as you get Lethal Pride, it solves all your strength issues. And now you may also be asking, what do I want my Lethal Pride? So what do you want your Lethal Pride is, plus one rage on melee hit is the number one priority. After that, just go for double damage. So as you can see with my Lethal Pride, I have double damage here, plus one rage on melee hit here, and I have one more double damage right here. See, I have two DD and one rage on melee hit. The one rage on melee hit is the most important stat here. So at the start, just aim for this. It should

be like 50 to 80 chaos not a big deal. Yep. After of Pride, go for a second T interrogation. And once you to interrogation, you want to swap to skitter bots. So how do you swap to skitter Bots while using a new Mana reservation of SK Bots cuz 35%? So to finish SK Bots, you need need a level two Enlighten only level two with a 7% man res vision helmet, which is a uh either implicit, or you need the sovereignty annoying. So two out of these three will allow you to fit in SC bots. So just choose what you want. The 7% matter on helmet is by the most expensive option here. As this can be quite RNG, you can use a 100 of these acres and still not hit it. Yeah, choose the route you want to go. Once you acquire Rach, you can start far in tier 17 if your gear is overall good. So overall good as in 700 DPS claw with crit and attack speed 100% spell.

suppression. I would say at least one cluster Jewel so end on that real quick. Cluster Jewels. You do not need fan the blades with feed the fury. Phom blades is just for quality of life clearing. It's a little better clear speed but it's not better damage whatsoever on this build. It's really only kind of needed when you go n because n makes your projectiles go in a Rand Direction and when you have more projectiles um it kind of makes it more consistent on single Target. Yeah you do not need F the blades just get a any cluster Jewel with feed the fury and anything else that gives you damage. It doesn't matter what it is how long as it gives you damage so it can be feed the fury Marshall Paralis feed to Fury calamas. There's there's multiple options you can get. You don't need fan the blades cuz fanom blades is very very expensive to craft or to buy so just keep that in mind does any feed the fury cluster Jewel cuz feed the fury is the one node that gives you a lot of

DPS as I can show you right here the one note is giving me 10% TPS. So yeah that's a cluster Jewels. Once you get all that gear, once the gear is actually in a good comfortable state, then you can start forming tier 17s. So it might be different for each person. May you need a little bit more gear, maybe you need less. It really depends on your experience of tier 17s. Just keep in mind tier 17s you do have to roll them quite a bit. You have to know what mods you have to run and all that. I don't have a RX with tier 17s because what mods I can run entirely depends on what mod combos there are. For example, I can run monster life, but I'm not going to run monster life and 100% reduce damage taken from crits as just is way too tanky. Or I can run monster pen, but I'm not going to run a monster pen with uh Fizz as extra 200% La damage.

right, that's just too much damage. So yeah, that's what I don't have a red. So just too many variables. You just need to find out which mods you can and cannot run. And the easiest tier 17 to run is Fortress, probably followed by Sanctuary, then like Zig rod and a bomb. I would never do s Sid. It's kind of bad. But yeah, Zigot and Aon the best though because they have the best fragment drops, namely the Maven fragment, which is like 1.1 Divine each right now. Yeah, that's it for you guys when we talk about my character upgrades. Yeah, we have Nim rikz really sixing chest. We went to a hits cannot be evaded claw. Now the reason why I went for this Claw is once again to avoid more map mods and because it's actually kind of overall better until a very very late game for a five mod claw. So SP will be in this with a three mod prefix like 3 T1 LED DPS claw versus a hits C claw and allowing.

you to ignore all accuracy on gear and tree actually makes the DPS rather the same for being a lot cheaper. As a claw like this cost like nothing to craft, you just need the base. So the base cost me 10 divines to attack speed fracture. You spam definite Essence until you get tier two or tier one flat, and then it's done. This was like a three Divine Craft and a 10 Divine base for a 13 Divine claw that's essentially as effective as like 40 Divine claws. So yeah, the reason why hits cannot be evaded is good. Once again, allows you to ignore more map mods. And secondly, it also allows you to save passive points. If you don't have this, you're going to need this like full accuracy wheel. Maybe this 500 uh to accuracy RA in and then two accuracy uh raidin on gear as well. So two suffixes you lose on your gear as well. Angle this claw also allows you drop like Coos ey. So now have a regular shield with really good stats, you know, Max life Le damage.

flat Le resist attack speed spell suppression which the spell suppression is nice. It then allows me to drop these two notes right here which I was using to get spell suppression cap. So yeah, I really like how my characters perform. The only thing I'm not sure of is what to do my empty gem sockets. Not really using dark marionettes. I don't think think I really need them anymore. So yeah, I'm not sure what to do my Mt CH sockets. Just a catch one damage taken tornado setup. Yeah, also PR Genesis is like a very very late upgrade. I would not bother with this until like after head hunt or n or something. Don't worry about it. D is good get it early. Yeah, I hope this helped you guys. This is my current C progression. I'll link my current po down below. Hopefully the C progression helps you out here. Also once again updated FAQ.
