The Plague Doctor (Stronger than anthony83's Kripath build)

Hey guys! I've been working on this build for a little bit, and I finally think I came up with something special. Also shoutout to @anthony83 for the inspiration for this build from his [Plague Kripath] build; "168k DPS! MEATBLENDER PRIME." I've made a few changes to his build, however, as you can probably already see. Namely; Exodia Triumph, [Gladiator Vice] and [Bleeding Willow]. You should notice the DPS numbers on paper are slightly higher than anthony83's build, this is due to the raw status damage increase of [Shocking Touch]. The main reason I swapped to this mod is to introduce the Corrosive status type, which as you probably already know, absolutely shreds through armor. This status, combined with the free Viral damage of the Kripath allows you to combine the two long debated "best status types" into one perfect, enemy destroying synergy, without the loss of two mod slots to having four status mods on one weapon. With both Corrosive and Viral on one weapon, there's not a single enemy type that isn't weak to this weapon (especially those fleshy little creatures we call the infested). Now, for the other two changes. The first is the Arcane swap from Triumph to [Hunt]. Exodia [Hunt] will allow you to build combo much more efficiently than with Exodia Triumph, as you will always be hitting enemies and building combo when the enemies are delivered directly to you, hands-free! This is also the same reason that I swapped out [Bleeding Willow] for [Twirling Spire], Not only do you have a LOT more AoE swings than Willow, you also have the added bonus of Spire's block combo, which has a dashing slam attack, and synergizes with Exodia [Hunt] perfectly (the frequency of the slam is drastically increased by Berserker and [Valkyr]'s "Warcry" which can now be added to any frame with the Helminth). With this in mind, by weaving between AoE spin attacks, and your block combo slams, you will ALWAYS 100% of the time be hitting enemies and maintaining combo, maximizing your damage (not to mention you'll be flying across the map faster than you can bullet jump with such high attack speed and the leap with [Twirling Spire]). The final good thing about this build is that you don't entirely lose the bonus of having gladiator mods equipped, as [Gladiator Might] is still a necessity for the 5.5x crit damage (which becomes 16.5x when hitting red crits, allowing you to have an average DPS of around 2,308,069.5) and even though the drop of 10% per combo sounds like a lot, this is added ON TOP of [Blood Rush] giving you 70% increased crit chance per combo, which means a total of 840% crit chance at max combo. AKA hitting only red crits. All of this combines for a MUCH stronger build than the one put forth by anthony83, but this wouldn't have been possible without his inspiration. In conclusion, I hope you guys have fun ripping through everything you touch, thank you to anthony83, and thank you to you guys for stopping by and checking it out! Also, don't forget to pick up a [Plague Kripath] while Naeberus is out, it wont be here long! And please leave a comment letting me know what you think, it helps me improve my builds as much as it helps you guys get stronger in our favorite game!
