NightWeaver's Grudge in Boss Rush?

[Simulacrum111]

350+ hours. I have seen the Lament two times total. I have no real chance of getting the NightWeaver's grudge. After re-rolling my campaign a few hundred times now I think I may be locked out for some reason. My other hope is that this can drop in Boss Rush. Has anyone seen it drop there?

I have full confidence in your alchemist suggestions. When I have the cash to burn on concoctions, it's fun. 100% up-time on the Nightfall mod is fun too, but I try not to like this one too much as the Nightfall has been nerfed a few times now.

My main is bugged with regard to the MeatShake as I got the Chef's medal from Duane before I got the MeatShake. I have not been lucky enough to buy a MeatShake in someone else's Ward yet so I really haven't explored what I can do with it yet. Numbing agent is good if you can keep the number of sequential hits down so it's not an urgent need. I will be happy once I get it though.

I have a melee + AOE build that has great DR and conserves on AMMO but it's really a shield generating build. Tanking hits = effective DR. The Custodian's Bastion Ring has been a real help to me with this one.

Most of my builds are between 67 to 75 DR. Every time in invest in more than this I stop having fun. I'll check out your suggestions and hopefully something works.

I don't really have any good mod builds so I'll definitely check out yours as well.

running 13 conc's is really an endgame thing, once you've upgraded everything you want to; if you're re-applying every 2h or so then you're 'basically' breaking even with the scrap income, but you are losing a little, yes.

I feel like that build is my 'fun' one, and my mod one, shown here is my 'serious' build. THE ONLY time it gives me real grief was against an endgame Ledusa with elemental resistance on in her final phase with the DPS check; it's a 50/50 whether I can output enough damage in time to beat her final crush wall, and its mostly dependant on whether i get the aphelion explosives off perfectly

Nothing else really gives me too much trouble except the one-hit cheap shot bosses because i cant dodge for ♥♥♥♥♥

No offense but Aphelion mod mage or mod spam is trash, there's SO many better options rn due to Reaction Chain I think it's called. Skewer 2.0 hits HARD, Astral Burst hits HARD combine both of these mods and no need to do any mechanics since the build puts out 13K dps. I have like 3 hunter based builds and the rest are mod spam or mod mage and they all do extremely well no issues bosses die too quick. Apocalypse is a joke with the builds I got set up atm lol

yay for you?
I'm not trying to say what's best, I'm just trying to show the OP viable damage options while hitting the magical 80% DR.

I only mentioned my weapon loadout because it's in the image and figured people might like a breakdown on "why".

I also think you underestimate how strong that is. it's not an Aphilion build. its an explosive fire damage build. as long as my explosions hit 2+ targets each time, I have unlimited MOD power and my MODs recharge faster than I can weapon swap. it doesn't do the same burst, but it does crazy, constant, never ending DPS with unlimited ammo. it's designed primarily as a support/carry build... tank for survivability, with unlimited Hearts for unlimited rezzing on my DPS's or lesser-set-up teammates.

It absolutely trivialises most content, but struggles in a couple of the boss fights, and if you've got a teammate who runs a bit lighter you can support him hard with your AoE DR abilites plus you can do an almost unlimited amount of trash/mob clear. with the shield rings 95% of the time I don't even look at my health bar unless I hear my shield crack a couple of times. I can just stand in one spot and tank everything that almost any mob throws at me. The DLC mobs hit a bit harder and 'just standing there' isn't quite true, but inside the Invoker's bubble nothing can hit you if you sidesetep a bit, occasionally

also, yo umight notice that I actually posted my build, with reasoning and breakdowns... as opposed to just "oh astral is OP LOL"
I'd like to see what your sustained DR and DPS numbers look like - burst is fine, until it's not.
you haven't actually done a lot to help the conversation along, so maybe posting a breakdown would be more beneficial to explaining what you're getting at.

I mean, I have an invoker build that wombos' 4xVoids and 2x astrals that combos for around 250k damage in about 4 seconds, but I can't do that with 80+DR, which was the point of this conversation.

I have a monolith build that outputs 400k before it runs out of mod

I have a monorail build that can infinitely pop invisibility AND 60k every 5 seconds as long as it doesn't get hit (one hit and your dead)

and another monorail build that does 80k per hit that could be 120k per bullet IF I had the right legendary prism set up

I have a brawler build that can LITERALLY AFK most bossfights.

WOOP WOOP I'm bragging 'yay'. the damage is low, but the health and shield regen is higher than any damage output any boss (outside of 1hk boss mechanics) can dish out.


________
The point is, I'm just showing that 80DR is viable and can still output reasonable - to -good damage. I also don't really like astral much, I just don't like all the sparkly animations. My buddy uses it in combo wtih the hardcore gun for burst damage then pops right back into Havoc, and I keep him at over 90% DR and there is literally no content we cannot make look like a joke.

No need to hit "80%" DR and no I'm not underestimating your build but there's way better options currently scientific fact. "But struggles in a couple of boss fights." Just proved my point lol

With the way you're replying why would I go out of my way to prove my point when the proof is already out there on YouTube? lol. That's fine if you don't like astral but it got a huge buff and it's one of the best currently I suppose 80% DR is needed if you're running a lower dps build and playing with someone else or multiple people. Skewer buff was phat too, lots of good changes for mod mage or mod spam whatever people call it. Course 80% DR is viable but there's no need for all that lmao just use a good build and l2 dodge that's all you need whether or not you're solo or playing with others. Also prisms are extremely easy to get god rolls on, just do it properly and don't be goofy. 3 monorail builds? You must love that gun lol I haven't tested it myself cause there's nothing for me to do in Remnant already have all the items and best builds.
