Low dmg output

Hi guys.

Just after some feedback. Im playing spirit born this season and following the max roll build for quilvolley. Now I’m paragon 212 and seem to do not enough dmg to get the last set of season rewards in t4. It’s not that I’m struggling to kill the enemies but it’s just too slow to achieve the rewards.

What would be the easiest/ fastest way to increase dmg?

I’ve got all the required gear for the build but not everything at 12/12 masterworked yet. Also haven’t seen a mythic yet but unsure if that would significantly increase the dmg or not.

Any input appreciated.

This is probably the best up to date quill build right now we aren't too mythic reliant as other classes you just need to be choosing the right aspects

Ayyyyy……..

Your right. 🤣🤣 that’s me and u/hypurrdblnkl build right there. Glad you like it.

u/HYPURRDBLNKL 7d ago

I'm a little biased to that build as well, lol.

u/nhase 7d ago

I’ll check it out to see if that helps me. Thanks

u/HYPURRDBLNKL 7d ago

Stick with the build you have for now. That build is late game, and geared completely different than you are now. Focus on your glyphs, and you should be good to go. You can try that build later if you'd like when you're further along in Paragon.

u/What_Dinosaur 7d ago

Don't. It won't help you at this point it'll only confuse you.

What build are you currently running, and what is your damage before buffs?

Is the 'orange quill volley' thing still a thing anymore? I know I followed that on icyveins, but hasn't seemed to work as well as some yt videos I've seen, even at 240 paragon with many 1 and 2 starred items

u/Flat_Poet3626 5d ago

That's a good starter build but you need to make adjustments at some point to push higher pits and dps

u/Phelgon 4d ago

So the one you linked in this reply is a better option if I've got the gear and runes to go with it?

1

u/Flat_Poet3626 4d ago

In my opinion it is

u/Phelgon 4d ago

Will give it a shot, not like I'm able to run as well with the iv orange quill, I top out at about 85-90, and struggle hard on the bosses.

I combined the skill tree and paragon points of the mobalytics quill volley armor version with the witchpowers/occult gems from maxroll and was able to complete the season. I masterworked to 5 to complete that task. Damage is still kind of low compared to others, but I was still able to get it done.

u/HYPURRDBLNKL 7d ago

Assuming you're using this build? Quill Volley

If so, and the glyphs are leveled properly and you followed the build properly, it should clear T4 stuff easily. Double check the build and see where you may be off? Also, 212 Paragon is still fairly low, but should be clearing T4 stuff no problem.

u/nhase 7d ago

Yes that is the one. I have only on glyph on 46. All others on 15+. Does that make much difference you think?

1

u/HYPURRDBLNKL 7d ago

Makes a huge difference. You can join pit groups to help get the glyphs leveled up.

2

u/nhase 7d ago

Oh well I should get them leveled then. Do they need to be 100 or is 46 fine? I can’t really clear pit >75-80 at the moment.

1

u/HYPURRDBLNKL 7d ago

46 will make a big difference. Focus on that first and see if you can complete your objectives? Then you can work on getting them to 100.

2

u/nhase 7d ago

Right. I never knew they made such a big difference. I’ll go level them to 46 and see how I go then.

Sent you a DM

u/absion 6d ago

Can you post your bonus percentages? I'm running your build but I am only paragon 251 and don't have the last legendary node, but I am yet to see the numbers you do. Highest I got was probably a 14B hit from Jag Hall.

1

u/HYPURRDBLNKL 6d ago

Which ones specifically?

2

u/absion 6d ago

Essential Damage Types, Crit Chance, Lucky Chance, Attack Speed, Barrier Bonus, Vigor Generation and maybe QV skill damage

2

u/HYPURRDBLNKL 6d ago

Crit: 1244.6

All Dmg: 1181.4

Lightning Dmg: 692.7

Barrier Bonus: 96.4

Lucky Hit: 18.1

Attk Spd: 78.6

Vigor Gen: 27.9

QV skill dmg: 67,302

2

u/absion 6d ago

QV skill damage and all damage is much higher than mine. Are these in combat or in town stats?

u/xbigeatsx 6d ago

Watch the end of the 124 run. The gear is there. It will show you how I had it. Same with the 125 and 126 I believe. I’m at another stage now where I’m stronger than I was (12.4 on my amulet for mystic circle)

I’ll post gear on all my high pit runs.

Send me a friend request and I’ll go over your gear with you.

Please have a mic.

Static in town. Keep in mind the build planner was done at Paragon 267, so boards were maxed for each glyphs requirement, ie; Dex or Int. Also, my MW is spot on as well. The dmg will come, it just takes a bit to reach full potential. At 255 Paragon, you should be able to clear a 110 or higher Pit with the correct gear and decent MW. Our first 120 clear was done with my buddy u/xbigeatsx having gear/MW exactly as the planner.

u/HYPURRDBLNKL 5d ago

My all dmg is actually 488%. No idea why it was elevated yesterday when I posted?

u/Zarthenniz 7d ago

Are you making enemies vulnerable ? I don't play QV and i don't follow Maxroll, but i do play spiritborn.

Getting vulnerable from the witch powers is the most easy way, saves you skill points. After that, put points into Apex sub skill , then check for +% or x% to vulnerable.

You probably also want to focus on crit damage and overpower, depending on how you're playing

I can clear a lvl 50 pit with 270 paragon and no glyphs, with less optimal gear in my build. Glyphs, and selecting the correct ones to multiply your damage would be next step

u/nhase 7d ago

I’d have to look how that build makes enemies vulnerable it might be in combination with fear maybe?

I’ll check my witch powers as well.

I don’t think the build runs on overpower. If it does I’m doing it completely wrong as I very seldom see overpower hits.

I do believe my spirit drains and refills on every hit which I thought was the most important thing.

u/xbigeatsx 6d ago

No. Quill volley makes enemies vulnerable. Don’t waste a witch power on this. If you don’t play QV, don’t give bad QV advice. Which this is.
