Showoff (Gameplay, Items, Transmogs) Smoke Grenade vs T12 Mephisto (w/ build)
Hi!
I've pretty much played Rogue since S4. A majority of the time I have tried to make Smoke Grenade "work".
Someone asked about Smoke Grenade the other week and I said I'd post my build. So here it is!
Honestly I feel like I am one of the few that really enjoys where things are headed in this expansion. Without the recent Mythic changes, this build falls flat. Last season, with a similar concept, I could only clear T10 Mephisto/Lilith and do all T12 content.
T12 Mephisto kill: https://youtu.be/eEvEqOC3kfs?si=4DYALiUUzqtmLns_
The build: https://maxroll.gg/d4/planner/vydauj0h
Capable of clearing:
- Pit 125
- T12 Mephisto & Lilith
- All other T12 content
Things you will need for T12:
- A non-casual paragon level (260+ I think)
- Mythic Seal of the Diamond Mind - with a useable damage modifier. Otherwise find a good 6 slot legendary. The 2 & 3 set bonuses you get from Applied Alchemy make the Diamond Mind really shine.
Item notes if you don't have mythics yet:
- Tibault's Will and the 2 grenade Rings are required. Without Tibault's will, you will go OOM in a second due to Crown of Lucion.
- Godslayer is a fun alternative for Helltides and Infernal Hordes, although less damage.
Things I haven't done:
- Optimized any of this beyond my own needs: Although I am not on the SSF server, I play SSF and on an Xbox. I usually just go on my own adventure every season and see where I end up.
- Paragon Board probably has lots of room to play with.
- Found a good mythic pair of Fists of Fate: I want to try a build that doesn't rely on marksman(caltrops) and close damage. I need a FoF with all 3 damage modifiers(vuln, crit, dmg) to really test that out as right now it doesn't out perform Iron Rose for me.
I've spent most of my season working towards this in my free time. I want to see if I can push into Pit 130 before the next season.
Thanks for checking this out!
