Hey wudi, i was one of the guys that came to the stream to ask about the rune, and you also answered many more questions now and teach some new stuff, i’m so proud that at one point i got to top 96 on the leaderboard with this build and i’m planning to keep playing and have more fun with it, tkx again so much for your work and keep up the good work man ❤️🥒
Wudi you are a true legend, shooting manual impales alongside the auto ones helps so much not necessarily more impales=more damage but more with the targeting, shooting precisely where you want with fire rune and looking for elites made this build a lot stronger when pushing, is harder to play, yes but it worth it. Thanks again Wudi for the work you put into learning and testing the game.
Yep when I built out the shadow impale build I was like 'this is an issue;' with the hatred when I ran a quick GR 50 just to test it.. went into a 100 and it was better. Really got great over 110+
You forgot about the snapshot with the loh potion. I think that extra loh helps out quite well with the big health pool when you use the guardian set. Thx for your D3 content, you and rax made me a better player
how you have 41% cd reduction when you don't have enchantments of cd reduction? I have all my gear enchanted with cd reduction and I only have almost 38% I don't understand why
I've quite some questions. 1) do each of the knife beam do the full damage or only 1 of them and other do 1/3 damage? 2) so the cold rune only the first target hit get full damage and the piece only do 1/3 damage? 3) can they "shotgun"? 4) can I control the angle(how much they spread) of the 3 beams? 5) it seems the Impale just target whatever closest to me, anyways I can "lockon" a target while spinning?
Hey Wudi! Your s27 maxroll guide on this build mentions Attack Speed in the Global Stat Priorities and some of the individual item priorities. Is this just legacy impale stuff that was not updated or what is the breakpoint math on strafe? Is there a 9-frame cooldown like GoD's 4p has or is there just one hatred spender per strafe shot? What is the breakpoint math here?
@@user-wo9jj6ii6t the guide favoring attack speed was an artifact of old impale builds, but there's indeed a frame cooldown on the Strafe proc. Unsure if 9 frames like GoD or 12 frames like the Sanctified Season 27 guide on maxroll says (the guide on sanctified powers themselves not the individual builds), but it's one of the two. Aside from multishot which is a special case. So aligning Strafe breakpoints around these frame CDs can be a minor dps increase. Not a whole lot though, because movement changes which frames you hit on anyway.
hey wudijo, i still dont really get the part with the zeis. I mean if you stay like 30 to 50 yards away, only 1 knive will hit most of the time. For me this means that there is A LOT of damage missing . so why wouldnt you stay close so that all 3 knives hit?
I've resorted to just using my UE multishot build for speed t16 farming, only when it's GR 100 or higher I use the shadow impale otherwise my resource management is terrible
Hi, what about the usefulness of a zdh with an impale dh? If the weapondmg is increased by 75 000 will the entangling shoot bonus of 125% by the zdh not be completely worthless?
i was hoping you'd explain about area damage mechanics on impale like does the cold rune area damage only work with the first target and is it worth putting in mid or high grs but you still explained a lot of things, some of which I didn't knew
I noticed on the MaxRoll page that you have Maximum Hatred crossed out under Paragon points. Would those just end up being wasted points since sustaining Hatred really isn't an issue with this build?
Is there any specific reason why using an angelic on Karleis point seems to be more popular? Rax made a good point stating that, since DH only have 2 daggers. You should be upgrading it frequently via cube using Upgrade rare recipe. Versus using the angelic on the Quiver which makes more sense to me bc of how large the pool of quivers are; so getting that godly rolled quiver is harder.
My guess is that from a starter dps point that Karleis is the best option, at least once you get the strafe affix. If you get a primal Karlei then I think the quiver is the next best option for min maxing. Tough to compare what these guys do to casual players. I’m paragon 950 already, but after this weekend it’s going to slow considerably since I have other commitments. These guys have the materials and time to craft 1000 daggers until they get a perfect replacement. Most casuals should be perfectly fine with crucible on the dagger. In all honesty it’s strong either way. I didn’t really struggle through it and already did a GR121 in like 8 minutes. Really fun build
Master, for wizard in s27. I can see the storm armour is charging up to 30. But nothing happen. Just stop at 30 all the time. How to active the special attack?
This was always the issue with Impale, it wasn’t really viable until the content was high enough that you could maintain resource. Except it was worse before since you couldn’t just strafe.
is it important which type of damage u have on your weapon? like do u need cold like yours? i heard u say smth bout it on stream but didnt catch exactly what u said
Ide like to know if you can hit one target with all three knives(like shotgun crusader) if you are on top of the mob and if so wouldent that make you do three times more single target damage to one target but also but rendering zeis useless as there will be almost no travel distance to the target?
It seemed while levelling that shotgunning with impale works, although this was ofcourse w/o the strafe ability. And yes, if shotgunning zeis won't do anything.
What if i have to choose between crit crit dex OR crit crit attackpeed on a ring? What if i have to choose between Vit or Attackspeed on my dagger? "Dont worry about attackspeed" is too unspecific. Also the maxroll guide says " get attackspeed before area dmg" ....
Hey Wudi, you have to try this build. Maxroll - planner number - 543714718 . Lightning Impale - Infinite resources, no generators, no squirts, no focus/restraint, no augments. Ricochet rune hits everything even behind doors/obstacles so no line of sight needed. GR 90s any map & floor setup in 56 seconds to 1 minute 38 seconds (4 floors) consistently.
Hi, do you have a link? Would love to see it as I cant figure out have to stop from using hatred up so quickly. It's near impossible to use the impale build on low level gr without using up hatred.
@@JerBuster77 Sorry I tried 2 times with a direct link and a spaced out link. His video rules don't allow it and I'm not sure how to post it. Use the Maxroll planner site, save your build and it'll give you a number. Just post 543714718 in that place.
just cleared 134 without wraps of clarity , i find it i get hit at all its a one shot so no real point in having them , hex pants work nice for static 25% damage and resource generation
I noticed my vengeance won’t automatically recast if I just hold strafe (bound to mouse). Even though I have it set to auto cast, I have to let go of strafe to trigger the auto cast. Any suggestions ?
I run this build with the guardian set in hardcore. I am now close to 500 paragon and struggling to convince myself to try the echoing nightmares. Should I try it or should I leave it aside in hardcore mode? For gems I am using Zei´s Stone, Bane of the trapped and Molten Wildebeests Gizzard
Way 1 : Play at a difficulty where you are NOT 1 shotting everything. Hatred only generates from additional hits on an enemy. Way 2: For like T16 difficulty...simply swap the VENGENCE rune to the 10 hatred/sec rune. Shouldnt have any problem at all with either strategy 👍
Impale DH is not good in low GRs or even T16 farming i would say its terrible even for bountys but where it shines is 110-115 speed runs at least i do them right now and its very good...For lower diff i use my WW barb
A good way to get hatred is using seethe rune on Vengence. But then ur conceeding dmg reduction. You didnt say it, so might as well post it here. Been balancing it as I go
Is Captain Crimson or Aughilds better for a high paragon push? I figure Crimson probably max's around 45% dmg from CD but Aughilds gives 60% elite dmg? hummm....

area damage works the same for most skills, nothing special here
So the gem setup in the Maxroll Dplanner for Solo Speeds is not correct?
Not even 1k para and im almost strafed out tbh but I like the crimsons tip that will help a lot with keeping squirts up
Do i have to keep spamming impale throughout the rift or just cast it once and that's it?

Worse. Waaaaaay worse. Multishot clears the entire screen, impale is just for elites.

@@spanks5916 cheers
Actually use cold if you want to hit more targets, more efficient for speed farming but for pushing use fire
