0.5 Twister into Oil Barrage Martial Artist League Starter

构建概览

Welcome to my 0.5 league start guide!

Twister start with a swap to Oil Barrage for clear and single target! You can technically swap to Oil Barrage at level 31 in act 3 but do note that Oil Barrage can feel somewhat clunky early on without skill/attack speed. I plan to swap to Oil Barrage at level 46 when the Voltfang Talisman becomes available. Oil Barrage feels much better once you get a greater jewelers orb and can socket in either Hit and Run or Rapid Attacks II.

We will be able to generate Power Charges on single targets from Devour or Killing Palm with the Hollow Focus Technique Ascendancy node. You will also need a level 3 support gem to make Salvo and a Lesser Jeweler’s Orb at least for Oil Barrage.

No reason to rush the swap with how strong Twister is for leveling imo.

0.5 OIL BARRAGE CHANGES

Mana cost has been reduced by 18%. Empowered Oil Barrage now has a Mana cost per second equivalent to the initial Mana cost of Oil Barrage.

Oil Barrage now deals 10% more damage at all levels, while Empowered Oil Barrage now deals 10% less damage at all levels.

Empowered Oil Barrage now consumes a power charge every 1.5 seconds to continue channeling (previously every 2 seconds).

The additional mana cost should not be relevant in the end game, if this is a problem at all while leveling we are pathing on the passive tree right near Siphon to counteract any issues while clearing. Also, make sure you keep your mana flask upgraded.

Oil Barrage does so much damage that the 10% less damage should not be an issue either.

Empowered Oil Barrage consuming power charges quicker may be a minor annoyance at times but Devour is amazing for generating power charges especially if we're able to cull the bells for power charges with Hollow Focus Technique.

Ascendancy

Hard to say what order to take the Ascendancy nodes without playtesting. I will update the guide once I have a concrete path for this.

If you have crazy gloves early, Way of the Stonefist can be really good for leveling, but this is totally gear dependent. Potential to be the best leveling Ascendancy just gear dependent.

Runic Meridians should be quite strong for leveling and potentially broken in end game, even just getting additional resistances and stats early should really smooth out the campaign.

Devour and Killing Palm should generate Power Charges on single targets with Hollow Focus Technique. You will 100% want this once you make the Oil Barrage swap. It should be good for leveling in general, just need to test it. Thrill of the Kill will be a huge damage boost on single targets, even though it reads that you need to cull a "shocked" enemy, this seems to be a tooltip error and always gives this damage boost when culling any enemy . Before the Oil Barrage swap, we can also get Frenzy charges for Barrage by culling the bells with Cull The Weak so this ascendancy node should be insane for all segments of the game.

I’m going to recommend Hollow Focus Technique for your first Ascendancy for now, even while leveling as Twister. (Subject to change)

WEAPON SET INFO

Set Oil Barrage to weapon set 1, this weapon set is for damage.

Set Pounce, Devour, Rend and Savage Fury to weapon set 2, this weapon set is for utility and quality of life. We go for cooldown reduction for Pounce and skill effect duration to increase the uptime of the Rend lightning buff and the buffs we get from Thrill of the Kill and Blazing Critical when we Devour a bell from Hollow Focus.

Savage Fury should be set only to weapon set 2. You can actually generate the fury and use Savage Fury while using weapon set 1. This basically makes Savage Fury a free spirit gem, allowing you to take another 30 spirit gem on your weapon set 1.

优缺点

优势

S Tier Oil Barrage single target damage

Can't use our main skill until act 3(Twister OP thankfully)
Twister can be a bit button heavy on bosses

玩法说明

TWISTER

Whirling Slash 3 times then attack with Twister inside of the whirlwind.(you can Whirling Slash twice at times while clearing if you are strong enough)

In act 2 when you get Ice-Tipped Arrows, use it before Twister. It converts the Physical Damage of Twister to Cold Damage, which freezes enemies and creates Chilled Ground with Frost Nexus.

Early on you will generate Chilled Ground with Frost Bomb / Ice Nova but you mostly only do this on bosses.

Cast Barrage before Twister. This is mostly used on bosses but can also be incorporated while clearing.

Drop War Banner on single targets.

Apply Freezing Mark by self cast or with Pounce.

After you get Hollow Focus Technique use Cull The Weak on the bells to generate Frenzy Charges.

OIL BARRAGE

Generate Power Charges with Devour to empower your Oil Barrage.

Gameplay at this point is mostly Devour and pressing Oil Barrage, it can be held down to continuously channel while you have Power Charges.

Use Ferocious Roar on single targets to generate rage.

Use Rend to consume a power charge to gain damage as extra lightning damage.

On single targets generate power charges, Rend once for the buff, activate Savage Fury, Ferocious Roar then channel your Oil Barrage. If your character is strong enough you can just generate power charges and Oil Barrage.

终局变体

Make a Huntress mule to start. When you get to town, make the Twister gem from the level 1 skill gem that you get from Renly’s quest. Stash your spear/buckler, Whirling Slash gem, Twister gem, Scrolls of Wisdom, and any useful gear that The Bloated Miller may have dropped. Sell everything else.
Next, start your Monk. When you get to town, equip everything that you stashed on the Huntress.
Make Frost Bomb with the level 1 skill gem you get from Renly. Make sure to find the abandoned camp in Clearfell for another level 1 skill gem. You will make Ice Nova here. When Frost Bomb explodes, it will leave behind a cold remnant. You can then cast Ice Nova and consume the cold remnant to create Chilled Ground for your Twister. I prefer this to the Parry/ Fangs of Frost combo for creating chilled ground personally, but you can run either. We're only doing this for act 1 anyways.
(Optional) You can run Mud Burrow next if you like. The Devourer will drop a level 2 skill gem. Turning the quest in to Renly grants a level 1 support gem.
In the Grelwood, kill Areagne next (her hut will be near the instance of the zone). Lure her back into the hut for giga damage with Twister. She will drop your first level 1 support gem if you didn’t kill The Devourer. Make Rage I and socket it into your Whirling Slash.
Next, in the Red Vale, make sure you get an Ironhead Spear from the clickable Armaments within the zone. You can use a Transmute and Augmentation on this weapon. The Rust King will drop your first level 3 skill gem.
In the Grim Tangle, I like to kill the Druid for a second level 1 support gem. Make Retreat I and socket it into your Twister.
In the Cemetery of the Eternals, make sure to find the Sarcophagus located somewhere on the outer perimeter of the zone, interact with it, and it will drop a ring (hopefully an Iron Ring). Locate the entrances to both the Tomb of the Consort and the Mausoleum of the Praetor. In the Tomb of the Consort, make sure to find the Embattled Trove for another level 1 support gem. This will be Rapid Attacks I for your Whirling Slash.
War Banner will be your first spirit gem from Freythorn.
Make sure to hit level 14 BEFORE fighting the end of Act 1 boss, Count Geonor. This will make level 5 skill gems usable. Make Barrage here for your Twister.

Make Ice-Tipped Arrows with your second level 5 skill gem, paired with Frost Nexus on Twister will be how we generate chilled ground moving forward. You can drop Ice Nova / Fangs of Frost at this point. Make sure to find the Raided Camp in the Vastiri Outskirts zone this will give your first Uncut Support Gem level 2 to make Frost Nexus.
Cull The Weak is the other big notable gameplay change in act 2. Once we complete the first ascendancy trial for Hollow Focus Technique we will be able to cull the bells to gain frenzy charges on single targets. Barrage repeats additional times by consuming frenzy charges for massive single target damage.

You can start allocating weapon set points as soon as you have them but I normally don't mess with this much until the end of act 2 or early act 3. At this point you want a Winged Spear preferably with an attack speed suffix in weapon set 1, you will be allocating attack speed and skill speed nodes in weapon set 1 to Whirling Slash quicker. Damage passive nodes will be allocated on weapon set 2.

You can always stick with Twister until maps if you prefer and swap later.
Oil Barrage becomes our main single target and AOE ability. Oil Barrage will snapshot the projectiles from Salvo for the entire channel. Projectiles from Oil Barrage ricochet off of the ground with Ricochet I.
We will drop Whirling Slash for now and use Pounce + Sprint for movement. Later in maps when we have sufficient attack speed we'll use this again for movement.
Devour is incredible for power charge generation while clearing, it will also be used on the bells from hollow focus to generate power charges while bossing.
Use Ferocious Roar at the beginning of boss fights to fill your rage bar.
Rend is mainly used for the gain as lightning buff.
Note that Rend and Pounce is on weapon set 2, all your damage with Oil Barrage is on weapon set 1. You can use the same talisman for both weapon sets if needed. Weapon set 2 is quality of life, we get Duration nodes to have more uptime on the Rend buff and cooldown recover for Pounce.
We have Chakra of Thought allocated mainly for the massive attack speed increase but also gives a nice added defensive layer, if you feel like this is draining your mana then un-allocate it.
Keep in mind we are running both Spectral Ward and Subterfuge Mask. It's important to look for a high evasion body armour and a high energy shield helmet. If you're feeling squishy in act 4/Preludes take defensive nodes earlier, Oil Barrage has so much damage that you should be able to make this pivot.
If you have 4 support sockets on Oil Barrage then you can run Ricochet II on bosses and Fork while clearing if you don't mind doing a gem swap. If you only have 3 support sockets then you can use Hit and Run while clearing and Ricochet II on bosses.
