Need y’all’s opinion

I don’t really see a lot of scholar mains run this but there is insane value in being able to start off with 4 uplifting aromatics, tears, and other items you can’t find easily in runs.

1. Starting off with 4 aromatics guarantees you will hit Tier 3 aromatics since you can level them up with the other aromatics in merchants.

2. Starting off with “Affinity”-shrouding tears, crimsonspills, bubbletears, etc. can further push team DPS even more and can get you to Tier 3 quickly.

With all of this combined and with the “Allies targeted skill gain boosted attack”:

x1.20 Scholar team buff x x1.20 Tier 3 uplifting aromatic buff x 1.30 phys. attack Tier 3 exalted flesh = 87% flat damage increase for the team

You can push this even further if you start off with hoarfrost stomp and bring Tier 3 throwing knives to the nightlord.

x1.87 (from previous calculation) x x1.20 damage reduction from Tier 3 throwing knives x 1.20 frostbite debuff = a staggering +170% damage for the whole team

Yet another reason why Scholar is secretly the S tier character when played and built properly.

Im still working on timing parrying but I couldn’t just deny that second attempt to hug

The build that finally helped me escape D3. Mage Scholar, make sure to grab a wraith calling bell and ancestral infant head.

I know its a very generic build. My goal is to reach Depth 5 at all costs. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

So I’ve never played guardian before and I decided to try him out but these are the relics I put on. Please let me know any recommendations because he was kinda cool to play with so any tips are welcomed!

D5 Darkdrift Knight expedition

We failed to kill Astel in the rain, resulting in the team ending day 2 at level 8/9. I was running base scholar stats and didn’t find an arcane weapon so my damage wasn’t very good. The team is 3bar to start the fight.

Through sheer willpower we came out on top. We went on to defeat base fulghor after this; my ‘magma on charge attacks’ dagger was able to interrupt him every single time. Would not have been possible without this weapon.

I realized I didn’t have my weapon with periodical glintblades passive out the entire time… hindsight is 20/20.

Respect and thanks to my teammates for not giving up. It’s runs like these that keep me playing the game. My heart was pounding out of my chest during the double 3 bar revive!

If you watched the whole video, thank you, I hope it was exciting and enjoyable for you to watch (:

I'm gonna update and add stuff every now and then, lemme know if there's anything specific that you'd like me to explain that I missed/didn't get around to/didn't do well enough.

Sorry in advance if it this isn't allowed to the mod
