Even though the Corpse Explosion part of Detonate Dead is unable to be reflected to you, the lesser spell part will definitely still kill you. If you insist on doing it anyhow, you need to bring an Enduring mana Flask to fix your Mana Regeneration. No regeneration is incredibly annoying to run, as you’re relying on life/mana/es regeneration quite a bit. – Pretty heavy on buttons to press (2 Button Build + Warcries) Map Modifiers to be Avoided – You don’t use this build until after act 10 + Loads of HP Pool / Block Chance to make for a smooth playstyle Cons + Therefore SSF viable – Leaguestarter viable + Requires no uniques to function whatsoever
While I’d argue that the player in question most likely has a better understanding of how to acquire gear in Solo Self-Found than the average player, that should go to show how acquirable all of this is even for you! If you’re looking for a very tanky build that packs a decent chunk of damage and clear speed, this is what you should be reading about! Build Summary Pros and Cons Pros Important to note is that at the time of writing the profile of gear I used was gear being used in a Hardcore Solo Self-Found race that had been going on for Six Days. After getting through all of the hurdles I had to take to understanding all of the ins and outs of this very special build, we have arrived at the point where I present to you a build guide that offers enough damage to very comfortably clear the highest tiers of maps and bosses while getting over 11000 effective HP Pool. The build originally was played by another Hardcore resident in PaakHC which this build was undeniably based off of. Luckily for me, Waggle and me have some history so I immediately hit him up and asked him to elaborate a lot of the mechanics behind the build, as I obviously needed to understand everything there was to know about interactions before being able to transfer over this knowledge and write it into a guide. When I saw how insanely well this build was clearing maps and killing bosses, in a Hardcore private League with every single extra damage modifier enabled, I immediately knew I wanted to share this with you guys! While I personally would have never considered the possibility of Detonate Dead being a viable skill outside of some special shenanigans, this build in particular caught my eye during one of the Shopify races that was organized by someone in the community. I’d still recommend trying it at least once if you’ve never played it before. It remains incredibly tanky while struggling a bit for damage on the lower levels of gear. It lost some tankiness due to the removal of the Vigilant Strike interaction (or at least making it kind of bad) but it regained its ability to become Ailment Immune which is a huge buff to survivability.
