Looking for a non-existent Artillerist accessory

General Discussion General Discussion

In light of the PTR balance changes for Artillerist (and soon to be live in KR). I need to transition my Artillerist quite a bit. Luckily, I have already invested in getting my Barrage legendary engravings and can still use my relic necklace, earring, and ability stone!

My goal new build for my Hallucination-set, spec/swift, Artillerist is: Barrage Enhancement 3, Hit Master 3, Keen Blunt Weapon 3, Adrenaline 3, All-Out Attack 3.

Unfortunately, that means I need to replace 3 accessories. These must be two rings and an earring.

  1. Specialization, Hit Master 3, All-Out Attack 5
  2. Specialization, Adrenaline 3, All-Out Attack 5
  3. Specialization, Barrage Enhancement 3, All-Out Attack 5

Of these accessories, #1 and #2 are quite easy to find at reasoable prices these days! However, accessory #3 does not exist at all on the NA-East AH; and it hasn’t for over a week and a half too!

What should I do to complete my build?

I suppose one option is to simply rebuild a lot more and find a (Spec, Barrage 3, Keen Blunt 5) accessory for 50-100k (if they appear on the AH at all). Or wait it out for the #3 accessory to someday appear. I just hope that it doesn’t go for something ridiculous like 200k+. But I am willing to pay 10-20k for such an accessory.

Can we please have some help with rebuilding our class after the massive Artillerist overhaul? I at least appreciate we are getting some free tripod adjustment tools once they remove the freeze shot skill.

I just need 1 tool use to change a Spec, Barrage 3, ___ 5 accessory into a Spec, Barrage 3, All-Out Attack 5. I know this is fruitless because non-KR requests are generally ignored, but I can hope.

TL;DR Please do not dismantle accessories with Barrage Enhancement and All-Out Attack!

Not related to your post, but mind explaining why the shift from poem to hallucination for spec barrage build? thank you

3

Well, with the change you will now probably start seeing the accessories appear on market since there is some value in them now.

4

The halluc set provides the needed crit chance %, along with the class engraving, to run KBW.

5

In the upcoming balance patch they fully removed the up to 40% crit from Arty’s Firepower Enhancement engraving.

6

you get 40% crit rate from barrage now, which is what matters

7

annnnd you’re in Barrage the whole time?

8

…aren’t you supposed to turn into barrage as often as you can? You are not going to deal relevant damage outside of it without having firepower anyways…

9

are you trying to build for barrage or fire power for normal skills?

10

Do you play Artillerist or did you just stay at a motel 6?

I’m an artillerist main who preemptively made 5x3 and now is wondering if poem is still the best option

what about it

12

That’s like asking a DI SH why they don’t min max their human form abilities. No they won’t be in Demon Form 100% of the time, but it’s also the only relevant part of their output.

All transformation classes work to reach gauge faster, so they can actually start pumping. What they do to get there is irrelevant. That’s the main thing that made dual class spec wheel chair build so busted–the non transformation portion was not irrelevant damage before the PTR change, and so they were able to pump in both forms, leading to the nerf/adjustment/balance.

13

If you run Spec/Crit I suppose you could use Poem instead of Hallucination. It’s also important to note that Poem is poorly coded in that the damage modifiers are additive with your weapon’s additional damage. So if you had a 100 quality weapon, it provides 30% which is added to the Poem’s 42% from the 6 piece set bonus. I think the last 5% bonus from the 6-piece set is multiplicative, but not sure.

Had no idea of this, that sucks lol
Well i guess it at least serves as a cope since my weapon has low quality xD
thank you for the info

15

If you go for the full Firepower variant, I suspect that Nightmare will be the go-to set for the best results.

18

Nah you need Hallucination for the Crit

Welp, one such accessory appeared for a few minutes today and I was too late to buy it (I can’t check the market every 30sec like some bot).

The accessory in question was an earring had 26 quality and was the Barrage 3, All-Out Attack 5 one that I needed. Sure, the quality was low but it was still useable until something better was available eventually. The seller sold it for 2k and it sold within a few minutes (before I had a chance to check between chaos dungeons).

Now that it sold, the lucky buyer turned around and is trying to SCALP it for 35x the price at 70k buyout with a 60k minimum bid. Of course it’s not selling as of its first 12+ hours for that horrendous price! I would have paid maybe 10k at most for such a thing due to the low quality.

I hope they can’t sell it for a long time and that more accessories appear soon to undercut the FUDGE out of that scalper! The silver-lining is now that there is a listing, people can see the item has value and will hopefully not dismantle them in the future.
