Endgame Critical Hit build (Not a Glass-cannon)

[normal crypt]

Thought id share my endgame critical build, I do around 10k critical hits on bosses(cant fully check this the stat mod is broken) without any buffs but I have yet to check with buffs since I don't have a good idea on what foods to test with.

1295 Health (excluding the new molten biome max hp item and the seasonal max hp item)
100 Armor
29% Dodge (Stand still for 54% dodge)
30.6% Melee Speed
77% Critical Chance
333% Critical Damage
102 Thorns
15% Boss dmg Reduction
1.8% Health every sec

Crystal Meteor Shard OR Omorth's Beak

Bag and lantern are mostly optional but i would go with the Morpha's bag and pearl lantern for speed.

Pet -
Owlux With 6 Critical Dmg Perks (if you click really fast on selection of your last perk and hit 2 they will both count and say -1 points)

Please tell me if anything here is inaccurate ill try to fix it if i can.

Omoroths beak/hydras tooth are both better than crystal chunk (for melee). Pet should be 6-9x triple damage instead of crit damage. If youre ok with taking extra damage glass bead necklace is insane If not you should use the unpolished cross neck (for some reason gives a ton more crit chance than polished) seems solid either way

[sick pebble]

How do you get -1 ability pet?

[normal crypt]

I explained that in the post

Close to the bottom

[sick pebble]

Yeah, sorry

[normal crypt]

Np

[twilit shadow]

shouldnt you take the + crit chance from the magic skill tree and the + crit damage from the range combat tree?

[normal crypt]

oh yea i had that but forgot to include that and weaknesss protection requires ranged and this build really isnt meant for that

[twilit shadow]

yea, i didnt know if that counted for this build as well

[normal crypt]

i mean you could likely modify it and do ranged but from my testing with a throwing dagger for crit chance it did significantly less dmg

[twilit shadow]

but the crit hit damage is for every weapon, is it not?

[normal crypt]

yes but the reason you use a galaxite dagger is for the crit chance and the throwing daggers has crit chance but doesnt have the speed or dmg to keep up with the dagger

[twilit shadow]

yea, i guess

[eager yoke]

Is this a modded pet? it is remotely impossible to get pure 9x triple dmg (1 in 134million chance) and even so, how are you going to activate all 9 slots?

[normal crypt]

i think it requires mods past the -1 skill perk glitch since the way u get the 6th is having only 1 skill point remaining and clicking really fast

[hidden spear]

activating them is easy 6 is rare but i want to say ive seen one? (def could be wrong) 5 for sure

does not require mods at all

to get all 9 points

just a matter of clicking fast

[eager yoke]

6 is definitely doable within human limitations, however 7 and more is humanly impossible, so 9 is really locked behind mods

[hidden spear]

no it literally isnt

#🎮-game-discussion message

ok discord

[eager yoke]

damn that takes some practice

i guess the only limiting factor now would be the pet itself

[hidden spear]

yeah like i said not sure if 6 is possible but 5+ some crit is def enough

you can get so much damage that the extra x3 isnt going to matter that much

[eager yoke]

are pure crit builds stronger than thorns+crit builds in 1.0?

[normal crypt]

i did test some food being golden pinegrapple and tornis kingfish +solid spike back and bloat oat and igneous on hardmode died in around 5 seconds obv this isnt strongest food tho

[normal crypt]

idk but the thorns in this build arent the main focus the rings give it already and the perk was just something to grab for some dmg

[hidden spear]

i dont believe its even close

[eager yoke]

same tbh

[hidden spear]

however everyone uses thorns and null came up with a pretty nice substitute to that

[normal crypt]

i could have gone with a stronger build but it would include some glass cannon

[eager yoke]

its a different build that uses the 3 set armor piece that adds thorns dmg to your melee and range, it has been a staple since EA

[eager yoke]

how would you incorporate some glass cannon to increase dps?

[normal crypt]

the glass bead ring might not be the move though since your sacrificing crit chance

[eager yoke]

i think with 77 crit chance, you can take out the 8% from the polished copper cross and its a net overall gain with the bead necklace

[hidden spear]

could def drop neck the -8% crit chance isnt going to hurt that much

[normal crypt]

yeah i just didnt include that in the build since atleast for me on hardmode that can be risky

[eager yoke]

did you calculate the difference between crystal meteor chunk over 12% crit chance from the concealed blade for the offhand slot?

since its a melee build, it doesnt proc the 100% crit chance

[normal crypt]

so i did some testing the glass bead necklace and omoroths beak is the best combo if your going full melee i dont think the concealed blade is too helpful since its just crit chance

the 100% isnt too needed with the galaxite dagger

[eager yoke]

i see! solid build! thanks! today i learnt something new
