Acolyte Killer Status Rework - Less Burst - More Sustained - Steel Path Ready

by last updated 3 years ago

An ancient blade predating the fall of the Orokin Empire. Forged using techniques lost over the centuries, the edge remains sharper than that of any modern Nikana.

Acolyte Killer Status Rework - Less Burst - More Sustained - Steel Path Ready

Rework of the famous Acolyte Killer build.


Cons:
-less burst damage

Pros:
-more sustained damage
-keep the original Acolyte Killer build's polarities !


So this rework is based on increased status chances at the cost of a lower average hit.

What it does is simple :

-With the initial build you proc more viral status than necessary at the cost of less slash proc and so less bleed stacks, less DOT damages.

-As we lower elemental damages, we also increase status chances which does two things:
first you proc more often
second, because the "slash damage divided by total damage" rate is higher, you proc bleedings more often and this is what you want : stack an infinity of bleeds
(compared to the initial high viral damage build which made slash proc less often)

-You will still sustain the 10 stacks of viral status on high health targets.


If you want to use [Primed Reach] for easier room clearing, you will have the least DPS loss by swaping it with Carnis Mandible.
If so you will have to switch a non-polarized socket to Marudai.


I recommend using this build with 2 mods of the Gladiator Set on your frame if you want to do only red crits at combo x12.
Eventually you can use the Naramon way.

I use this build with this Rhino Prime build I made, viable at high level, and this Ash Prime build which is viable at level cap.
