Lmao! welcome back cubeness!
The cube lord has returned!
I’m looking to adapt this build as a hireling to pair with a farming main and would like some opinions on swapping some affixes. I want to switch out 1 set affix for ephiphany, 1 crystal affix for 225% luck, and 4x other affixes for 200% item drop rate. I also don’t have a pet yet with any of the affixes listed. My thinking is to swap out the following. Please let me know if you think this would still be viable for farming around floor 1000m3.
- Lose Demonic and Pathfinder for Ephiphany. I lose the the second set since i dont have a pet yet with any of these affixes but will aim to get pathfinder back into the mix.
- Lose 225% crit damage crystal affix for the 225% luck but will change aim for it on my pet and 6x natures
- Only keep 1x 100% ice damage and 1 x 100% frostbting, losing the rest for 4x 50% item drop rate.
- Switch out the 5000 MP for 400% explosive
- Switch out 75% crit damage for 30% elemental crit
Everything else would be the same as your build except for the mods on pet. Would this still be viable as a dps hireling for floor 1000m3?
Thanks
Yes definitely. All you need to do is change living force with something else you like.
I ended up replacing living force with permafrost and then replace with adventurer. I also ended up using momentum pet.
I’ll show my updated version and the effective frozen explosions no longer come in the enemy weakness elements. However 400% explosive still works well with it.
My build even more powerful than ever before.
This is my current build but I updated it. Yes I did use the reroll crystals for pets since it’s now possible. My warrior hirling is the half farm build of my farm combo. It’s not the most efficient at all and it has low 180k HP but it works. My warriors purpose is only apply Debuff shock and arcane from Wrath. It’s the updated fortune bringer.
My rogue hero points and stat points .
Damage before and after momentum+adventurer :
I chose momentum over pathfinder to see how much more damage I could maximise with adventurer if living force isn’t there but it seems to do quite well.
Move speed wise: 25% from coat and 20% from stealth. With coat 30, that move speed from coat is now 55%.
With stealth 30, move speed from stealth is now 35%. 55%+35%= 90% default.
However stealth does nerf damage so I decided to add adventurer. It maxes out move speed but also adds another 37.5% damage to that 50% from momentum.
I could have added Angelic Set instead of Adventurer too but Adventurer was superior in damage .
I could have added sureshot for Robe now that I think about it. I may plan on changing it and seeing how it went but I didn’t do it yet.
As for the double Nadroji bonus on my farm build , I’ve heard from @Eater that it’s supposed to increase pet rarity somehow and I’ve seen him use 2 Nadroji bonus. Normally it shouldn’t make a difference but apparently it does. But you only need 1 Nadroji bonus normally.
The warrior I use here I also use for PvP , hence the HP and resists. It’s not meant to be a good PvP build since I was lazy but it does its job at debuffs in 2v2 and temporary tanking.

I see you are still using exposed mythic. does cosmic orb still count as a projectile for piercing? thanks again for sharing your updated build.
Yes

I don’t see arcanist effecting in wrath now 
. Before it adds dmg when a hireling jumps in a pack sized and cause wrath on them ( see instantly to the dmg bearer with arcanist ) I found that unlike before it boost dmg a lot but now , it seems it doesn’t add .

Ok. But I still think it does something though.
Can arcanist work without ascendant? , can i just substitute it with wrath or effective mythic?
Well it only lasts like a fraction of a second. Like very small timeframe. 0.1 seconds or lower.
Ascendant simply extends the Debuff timeframe to 6 seconds. Even if it’s Ascendant from hirling, the weaken applying Arcanist 20% ED per enemy is there but it lasts 6 seconds instead of a small fraction of a second.
Also Ascendant counts as an arcane DoT so the arcane attacks description applys meaning you can reduce enemies resists by 62.5% and enemies don’t have any or barely any arcane resists.
Although having Ascendant on the rogue without hirling is totally an option.

Also last question… Where should i place my 100% ed? Ex in amulet or ring or chest? 
Up to you as long as you feel happy and save space. I’d say put on ring, amulet and chest like usual. On some build that don’t use barbarian, 100% ED on head.
Wow so many replies I can’t keep up. Like 10 replies and many pms. I’m happy lol. So many that I have to check the notification menu instead of quick notification. I love it.

Yup. 
. I should do a YouTube series lol.
I was thinking like a DPS calculation walkthrough , beginner walkthrough with new account, hirling tip, farming comprehensive guide in video format and other purposes.
I could even try a requested livesteam or chill farm video. Such as a livesteam or chill farm on getting many crystals in set timeframe and see results at end of it.
Congrats to me 30 subs.

I could try 25% DMG to Elites since it could multiply like plagued on magic+ enemies since they’re elites. It definitely is promising.
Very effective for higher tier enemies when frozen explosions .
