Super Fun Shotgun build: Dragon Prince from Synergies, Essentials and Overhaul mod. I Beat Darkness Falls with only 1 legendary item.

So I finished the Darkness Falls endgame, and I died alot but man, I finished it with only 1 legendary item.
Was so happy that I didn't have to grind for all the other gears.
My damage was Super good, and the Set gave me 15% steal on HP and Mana, but my defence was terrible for DF.
My HP and dmg reduction was enough for me to bruteforce my way through (they said one should have 30k hp and 75% dmg red, but I had barely half that).

The Build (this is mostly 99% of the time a one button build when you get Kaiser Breath):

Skill: Kaiser Breath https://imgur.com/YGs0co3
Bread and butter when you have enough "mana on hit/mana steal" or mana leech AND tier 2 for the skill.
To know: Respecc and test on dummy, you should never go OOM. High mana also helps alot (its not so high priority).

You can attack from far; If your defence is not enough and/or you can't outheal the damage OR you are hitting groups.
For maximum power, you need to be at melee distance, but this is only against bosses/very hard monsters (if you want it to go faster).

The other skill(s) are just bonus upon this, in my opinion, OP fun shotgun skill.

Attribute allocation for my Dragon Prince:
3 to Str, then a mix of 1 Foc/1Vit and 2 Vit. (mostly it's 3 Str and 2 Vit, unless I don't get enough Focus potions).

You get AMAZING results standing point blank on Bosses and nuke them with Kaiser as both Sealed Power and Dragon Finish triggers (they count as melee when cast at melee range).

Skills and passives for my Dragon Prince:
Max

Skills:
During leveling phase, go for Burning Swipe And "Catastrophe" respecc out of them when you can sustain Kaiser's Breath.

Kaiser's Breath (Respecc to this this only when you have enough pts for Tier 2 and have mana sustain, after that this) is nr 1 priority, Power Up, Shield is only for endgame bosses in Darkness Falls, max it after Extra Crisp is maxed.

Passives: Dragon's Killer Instinct (Max this during leveling, this is nr 1 passive priority), Sword Mastery (2nd best passive), Dragon Finish, Behemouth Strength, Sealed Power, Extra Crisp (during leveling, hold it at 1 pts then max it when previous mentioned passives are maxed).

1 point wonders: 1 Teleport, 1 Nina's Wish, 1 Absorb Fire.
If you have left over points, put them on Nina's Wish, then Absorb Fire, then Teleport.

Note: Power up is only mainly for Buffing and maybe getting mana (if you can hit the target). It can do some decent dmg on its own, but remember it will be on CD.
Use it on Packs of enemies and/or bosses.

In Darkness Falls, my HP was 11k

In Darkness Falls, my dmg reduction was between 30 to 45.

The "Embrace of Undeath"-set, (the 5th bonus), is SOOO AMAZING! That saved me in Darkness Falls (actually all endgame).

Huge congrats! Very well-made choices especially with the picture showing the equipment and their long lists of affixes from various sources.

Agreed on the Embrace Set; it's one of the benefits from using the Overhaul mod that includes the Lao 2.0 mod that includes this.

You solved your question to assemble a better affix build from the previous discussion; saving time by avoiding the Soul-Crafting- the frustratingly rare Mythic items- the long grind / farming- and the nasty Debuffs from Darkness-Falls - all from the Synergies-mod end-game.

You have my respect; even with help from mods outside Synergies - finding the few combos of Class, Equips, Enchants, Sockets, and so on - to complete the end-game in one of the hardest TL2 mods on Elite Difficulty is no small feat.

Also thanks for writing this Guide on how you accomplished it; to benefit other players.
It may not be a Hard-Core mode survival build yet anything that can beat Soft-Core Synergies is appreciated.

Thanks alot!

I got some Mythical, but I thought the glasscannon build was interesting and wanted to see how far I could push it without the full Legendary soul crafting, AND without any Mythic pieces.
It worked and I think I saved LOTS of time not grinding for gear, gold and rolling enchantments.

Also, what was funny is that, I healed so much (leeched) that even though my hp was 0 or below, the game got confused and let me live.
The times I died only happened when I got jumped, or I was stunned during my attacks or I used my secondary attacks during the fight.

I heard the death sound so many times =)

Gladly!

Sounds like great fun (dying, mis-clicks, and ambushes). I only really do Soft-Core builds anyway - saves me the time trying to reach the harder areas within mod-challenges like Synergies.

Leech is such a gift in this game - as you mentioned - the game doesn't always know when the Player should've lived because it still thinks the healing means the Player should not die.
