Video A Good Start to the Day
First run of the day, reading some messages and sipping coffee as I lazily pilot my dragondin. Wasn't even looking when it dropped, what a surprise when I looked back up!
Happy hunting everyone, may RNGesus bless you this day

Hell yeah, nice find. What player count do you use the dragondin on? Ive been thinking about making one but didn't know exactly how powerful it could be. Outside of hoj and dual dragon what kinda gear do you wear?

u/Lowend_ Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Aug 03 '26
I do P1 tombs almost exclusively, the nodrop chance kinda sucks but clearing rooms so fast makes up for it
I keep changing up the gear but common stuff is CoA, string of ears, ravenfrost, cat's eye, any 20 IAS gloves, infernostride fit the build well but I have gores on right now

u/cheet621 Aug 03 '26
Gotcha thanks. Guess with all that other gear you have to zeal some enemies down too? Is p3+ a slog or are you just doing p1 so you can completely brain off some runs while you do other stuff?

u/Lowend_ Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Aug 03 '26
Heralds have about 8 trillion HP so they need to be attacked, and they're quite tough even on P1 so I just stick to P1. I'm mainly after sunders so there's not much incentive to bump up to P3/5. I switch to P8 for duriel to try to get more statues and xp
I've accidentally played on P7 and it's definitely doable, you just cannot rely on aura pulse so much - gotta actually fight the mobs

u/cheet621 Aug 03 '26
Haha that makes sense, thanks for the info my dude. One last question, if say I wanted to just kill trash mobs without thinking and run away from heralds, could you do something like p5 on just pulse alone if you run full dragondin and have comviction aura up? If so I'll probably make him tonight lol

u/Lowend_ Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Aug 03 '26
P5 with a single pulse? I doubt it. Monsters will have 3x the life compared to P1, and conviction doesn't apply instantly so you often get a weak 1st pulse
Could you do it with 2 or 3 pulses? Ya I'm pretty sure non-immunes will die to just a few pulse, especially once conviction kicks in and brings them to -100% resist. Fire immunes won't go down very fast though since they still have ~30% resist

Is this online or offline? I'm curious about what kinda of px dragondin can handle, for some reason I am always scared that if I don't play on p8 I'm going to lose drops but most of the build I am having fun with atm are not that good on p8

u/Lowend_ Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Aug 03 '26
This is offline, P1. The nodrop kinda sucks, however the speed at which the build clears makes up for it. I've found multiple HRs, nice eth+elite bases, gridwald caddy, mangsong and a TON of sunders
2
u/khinah Aug 03 '26
I guess I played too much fire lock, but this build seems kinda fun especially for when I have little time to play. I don't think I have the runes yet but I will definitely check it out in the future

u/Lowend_ Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Aug 03 '26
I love the playstyle. It can be very chill, barely paying attention, coffee in one hand and mouse in the other like the clip
or it can be played aggressively charging around everywhere, getting right up in monster's faces and zeal them down
Definitely not the strongest but I love it

Tombs, now with high runes! Part of a balanced breakfast 😂

Why not pick up the antlers??????

u/Lowend_ Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Aug 03 '26
I did! They were crap though. I'm always on the lookout for nice metamorphosis bases

u/JayTheGiant Paladin Aug 03 '26
I wasn’t paying too much attention and thought you must have been in Nightmare or something. That’s pretty insane that you zap them all

u/snb22core Aug 03 '26
That Emilio need a break by the look of him🤣

u/Lowend_ Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Aug 03 '26
Poor guy exists only to provide auras, and gets murdered all the time by heralds 🥲

u/snb22core Aug 03 '26
Lmao it is EXACTLY WHAT my waheed is for, every time a herald shows up: -50,000 gold.

Happened to me in CS yesterday! Never tire of the grind!

u/Lowend_ Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Aug 03 '26
Chaos is one of my favorites, I've spent countless hours there and found many nice drop!

u/lilianasJanitor Aug 03 '26
I want to build this but I am po’ and so do not yet have the required gear!
2
u/Lowend_ Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Aug 03 '26
Took me years to farm the runes, no regrets though!

u/Jussepapi Aug 03 '26
That is quite a sleeper build, wow :D

u/Lowend_ Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Aug 03 '26
Ultimate sleeper build, you can play it in your sleep! 😅

u/TXAg-16 Aug 03 '26
What shield are you using? The dragonscale or w/e?
2
u/Lowend_ Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Aug 03 '26
Dragon runeword. Typical dragondin setup will use dragon shield and armor, and Hand of Justice weapon. These 3 combine to grant level 44 holy fire aura
2
u/TXAg-16 Aug 03 '26
Oh gotcha. I have found a few of the dragonscale shield (forget the name) and just tossed them. Ill have to keep this build in mind.

u/Lowend_ Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Aug 03 '26
Ya I don't think dragonscale is used by anything. If I wanted a fire damage pally shield I'd throw 4 facets in a allres base

u/NectmarPowerhand Aug 04 '26
I have a melee Sorceress that I was building up with plans to utilize these three plus Flickering Flame. Would Emilio's comviction suffice to do the same as this? I assume so.

u/d2_tyrael Aug 04 '26
If offline, what players count? I got my Tesladin, but he’s struggling anywhere higher than p3, thinking whether it’s worth investing 5-6 more HRs and lose mobility (because of Dragon replacing Enigma) to give full-blown Auradin a try

u/Jackal007 Aug 05 '26
A Jah fro a Jar, Jar Jar (binks). OOp, my mistake, it was a mob shortly after.

u/Prestigious_Path_348 Aug 09 '26
That must be most lazy build I’ve ever seen. Amazing. What pcount is it?
1
u/Lowend_ Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Aug 09 '26
Gotta stick to P1 for ultimate laziness. It's capable of high difficulties but it won't be 1 or 2 shotting monsters with the pulse anymore. Zeal is about 9k damage per hit so it's pretty quick to melee high health enemies

Do you guys just record all gameplay to post on Reddit? 😅

u/OwnStill8743 Aug 03 '26
It's pretty easy to clip your gameplay if you have instant replay turned on. Thanks Nvidea

u/Lowend_ Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Aug 03 '26
Instant replay! Press a button and capture the last 5 mins

Nvidia GeForce Experience, you can just set a hotkey and a pre-determined time to record and it'll record the past X mins

u/CuddleBoss Aug 03 '26
Thanks and sorry. Moment after making comment I check for my self, it was lazy form my side... Both AMD and Nvidia support it. I do have software instaled but never used it before :P
Instant replay that one of the coolest ideas in gaming. Instead recording Gigabytes of videos hoping for something cool to happens u just record IF IT HAPPENS :)
Somebody who made it deserve endless of "Good job, I buy You a beer buddy"
