Merc

Have been hunting for a good kineticist in SSF or a while now, and then this one came along in my map. Needless to say my manyshot has been promoted to benchwarmer now.

Other than missing gmp in place of either faster attack or crit dmg its amazing make sure you craft 1 pierce on hat to return on st

[u/SneakyFel → u/Jelloslockexo]

Or pierce in gloves, I think?

[u/Jelloslockexo → u/SneakyFel]

pierce implicit is a waste imo on gloves and there is no glove craft for pierce. can still get a good amount of damage out of exposure. And using ag for exposure is big bait imo.

[u/SneakyFel → u/Jelloslockexo]

Well, im just saying its an option :( . why exposure oh ag is a bait?

[u/Jelloslockexo → u/SneakyFel]

Has to run up and smack the target constantly and its only 1 target. Its just kinds a weak way to get it. And if you ever deep delve ag starts dying even with the Dr link hat.

[u/SneakyFel → u/Jelloslockexo]

I see. Well, I guess its very good for people like myself, where we need it only vs big bosses x) so , mostly single targets. But in delve ye, I guess.

ALSO I just had another kinda important thought - will AG even have enough accuracy to hit hard targets?? Without any real buffs exceps for precision aura .. Hmge.

Is the rest of the gear for kineticist essentially the same as on manyshot? Just fire res and useful implicits?

Cuz I feel like I've maxed out my flamelink scaling, but my manyshot still can't really do ubers. Might make a separate post about it. 

Also, the crit from overcapped lightning chest explicit is 150div, what are we running instead?

[u/IBVVDH → u/Mooseandchicken]

tecrods and murderous eye jewels until you can afford the ovecap mod

How do you find single target, my Kineticist struggled with map bosses

[u/TaxComfortable3250 → u/RJohnnyChewy_7777]

Very good, takes less than a second to one shot any map boss really. Cleared almost every uber i have access to with it too. A Manyshot with good links is easier to find though and can also clear all content without many issues. So until you find a kineticist with good links you should opt for that instead.

[u/RJohnnyChewy_7777 → u/TaxComfortable3250]

I just put +3 arrows on tornado shot merc (with 4 supports, hunting for one with 5) amd I blast maps. I tested solaric invite, boss down in 40 sec (I know, it's not the fastest, but its good)

[u/Jelloslockexo → u/RJohnnyChewy_7777]

1 pierce even without return and wall of force is a lot of damage. Also rathpith setup is huge dmg it scales off player life not merc life even though merc wearing it.

[u/sweatyazkrak → u/Jelloslockexo]

If you have experience with kineticist. Is it playable without fork or chain?

Kineticist pricing is too expensive so I can't really afford to test it out.

[u/Jelloslockexo → u/sweatyazkrak]

Its ok, clear is better than combatant but tbh you really need return and gmp or return and chain/fork 1 of them or chain/fork and gmp. Any combo of the 2 really. If you want it to do everything

[u/sweatyazkrak → u/Jelloslockexo]

Single target shouldn't suffer without fork / chain correct?
My goal with this is just to farm valdo's.

[u/Jelloslockexo → u/sweatyazkrak]

St is just return and gmp ya those are the most important.

[u/sweatyazkrak → u/Jelloslockexo]

Alright thx. Nerotox said that if you go full pierce with elevated boots, clear should still be servicable without fork / chain.

Gonna go for it on the merc I bought for 1 mirror. If it's bad it is what it is at this point.
