Hello im testing some crit builds on s15 ptr for spritiborn. Currently testing this

https://d4builds.gg/builds/f0bac86f-4714-446c-bc45-3c609970ae53/?var=0

it clears t12, gonna do some tweaks but is there anything in your mind that you wanted to be tested or any opinion on this build? Would be lovely. Thank you

Edit: Can't add them but this build runs Splinter of Hellfire as soul splinter and also Splinter of Anguish. With the 120% crit chance we get from the weapon aspect we get rid of the 100% crit reduction. Basically we try to have 220+ crit chance and keep the advantages

Edit 2: We go for 30 ranks on ravager to have rushing claw active all the time like pestilent swarm but this time we use it to have our weapon legendary aspect on everytime

Like do i switch to this?

Hey guys, I’m pretty new to Diablo 4 and ARPGs in general, so I’m still trying to understand how to properly optimize a build once you get into the later stages of progression.

The first image is the build I was originally following. I followed it pretty closely, but even with most of the required pieces, I felt like my damage was much lower than it should be.

I then found the build in the second image and decided to start transitioning towards it. The main difference is that this version focuses more on Barrier Generation instead of Resolve stacking, while also investing more heavily into Damage Over Time multipliers.

So far I’ve changed my chest, gloves, and pants to match the second build more closely. However, I’m still using the Mythic Unique helmet and my old amulet, and I haven’t changed my skill tree or Paragon board yet — those are still set up for the first build.

Despite basically running a hybrid between the two builds right now, the difference has already been huge. My damage feels significantly better and I’m currently able to clear around Pit 115. I’m actually pretty happy with how the build performs at the moment.

The part I’m confused about is what I should prioritize from here.

Should I fully commit to transitioning into the second build — farm the remaining Mythic/Unique pieces, find a proper amulet, get the Barrier Generation rolls I need, and then switch over the skill tree/Paragon setup as well?

Or, since the current hybrid setup is already working well, would I get more value from simply looking for better versions/GA rolls of the gear I’m currently wearing, improve glyphs and improving my masterworking?

Basically, I’m at the point where I don’t really know which upgrades would give me the biggest jump in damage and help me push significantly higher than Pit 115.

Since I’m new to ARPG endgame gearing, I’d really appreciate it if someone could explain what my upgrade priority should look like from here rather than just saying “follow the guide.”

Thanks!

They always release the original with monthly. Should be today
