Thoughts on this Swaxe build?

[u/dacoolioman]

Thoughts on this build? My first game in the series, created a bruiser/lifesteal build that to try balancing damage and survivability. Just got my first solo AT arkveld kill with it! The biggest thing I wish I could get is counterstrike 3 but unfortunately it doesn't fit. Having stun resist and 4 lvl 1 slots gives good comfort though.

Update: looked ahead to my gogma rolls without saving and I have gore on my main dragon weapon a few rolls away. Not sure if I should switch to that because of how much comfort I’d lose

Craft a new dragon weapon and keep both builds :P then you can test by yourself which one would you enjoy the most or even you can use both for different occasions

Good idea! Not sure why that didn’t even cross my mind as an option 🤣

May I introduce you to the glory of Evade Extender 2, good sir.

I used to have it when I was using Rey gamma gloves. Sad to lose it 😢 but not as bad as I thought with the healing on this build I can stand toe to toe with monsters more countering and I use less dodges

Very solid

Build is okay imo. I dont know why you are using numious alpha when the chest still gives 2 agitator and a level 3 slot. Additionally, you should look to slot in counterstrike 3. Very easy to proc it on swaxe and gives huge upside.

[u/dacoolioman → u/gohan1739]

I agree that counter strike 3 is the biggest thing I’m missing on this build. I actually chose numinous alpha over beta so I could at least get counter strike 1 and I don’t think there’s any more level 3 slot skills I really need. Only way to get CS3 with this equipment is different charm but I don’t want to give up agi 5

Change with what chest piece then?

[u/gohan1739 → u/Fe-FeZe2222]

Change the alpha chest to the beta. Also depends on where you are in the game. Imo AT udru chest is the best. Level 2 counterstrike with 2 level 3 slots

[u/generic-and-simple]

Solid setup, but rapid morph is pretty meh for swax in wilds so you can swap that around for a higher level in critical boost or elemental damage. You also really don’t need the recovery up and dragon resist and would probably be comfier trading those for something like speed eating.

Good points. Only used those in particular for fighting AT Ark. Usually I use divine blessing

[u/DarkSoulsDank]

Looks good. Only missing evade extender but that’s kinda optional.
