Jank Build Idea : the Crushing Gun

The idea is simple. Crushing Blow and stupid number of hits per second. I plan to use

Sets :
• Epiphany Set
• Elements Set
• Maybe Overload if it works when the enemies are hit
• Demonic Set

Mythics :
• Fury

Affixes :
• 75 Attack Speed
• 5 Multi Attack
• 5 EAC
• Any amount of Explosive
• Crushing Blow
• Probably some All Talents
• Orbit
• Mandatory +4 All Sets

Talents :
• Rebound
• Relentless
• Propulsion
• Ambush

Skills to max :
• Ricochet
• Mirror Image
• Laytrap

Have I missed something for more hits ? Is it better to run CF over Orbit ? Is Electrocution a thing to consider ?

I haven’t tested Overload, but from what I understand, it’s an AoE centered on the Character… tested and it’s a AoE centered on the Character, about 15-20 yard radius (Reflect Damage has 25 yard radius AoE). also, Overload works like Reflect Damage - enemy takes damage when they hit you. it’s also a % chance for Overload to happen.

might be better to use Ascendant Set, that way if you are going with Arcane, Orbit affix will be more useful, and better chances of enemy suffering from many Elemental effects more often than what you get with just Elements Set.

or keep Overload for some defense when melee monsters get too close and use Ascendant instead of Elements.

try to fit Mutilate +10 for +15% damage to all Multi & EAC attacks. on top Rebound damage, that’s pretty good. especially since you also have Relentless.

the rest of the build looks pretty good. oh! someone did a similar build with Killswitch (Legend affix, Item only I think) & Laytrap.

Relentless is much better than Mutilate, since raw damage only matters when enemy’s HP are 1% or less xd, but more damage is more damage. Rebound idk but I’ll keep in mind, seems mid for 1v1 fights.

Also, defense is useless when you get 1 tapped. And imo the Overload items are badly designed since it emphasizes having lots of hits per second.

Thank ypu for the info.

I recently tested Mutilate with Rebound & Relentless for Ricochet, and you can see the difference. I think I had Rebound & Relentless 20 & Mutilate 10, it was really good.

it was so good that I started using Mutilate & Relentless with my Boomerang, and I was considering using Meteor Proc (it has Extra Attacks at Skill 11+) for more damage… I used to think Mutilate wasn’t really good, but testing showed me that it works great with the right Skills & Build.
