Q & A

What is the main objective of the pistol build described in the video?

The main objective of the build is to achieve high critical damage while maintaining solid survivability. The aim is to hit over 1 million crit damage on body shots.

Why is the Cart 45 pistol chosen over other pistols like the Liberty or D50?

The Cart 45 is chosen because it has high accuracy, minimal recoil, and a large magazine size, making it more reliable for sustained fire compared to other pistols like the Liberty and D50, which have inconsistent recoil patterns.

What are the key survivability features of this build?

The build includes armor regeneration (89-90k per second), 40% Protection from Elites, and 85% Hazard Protection, all of which contribute to making the build tanky while still dealing high damage.

Which talent is used for the primary weapon, and why was it chosen?

The **Strain** talent is used because it provides a simple, easy-to-activate damage boost that increases crit damage whenever you fire the weapon, without relying on kills or specific conditions like other talents.

How does the **Eminence Armament** set benefit the build?

The **Eminence Armament** set increases pistol damage by 60%, as well as providing an additional 5% weapon damage, leading to a total 65% boost to pistol damage, making it highly effective for this crit-focused build.

Why is the **Obliterate** talent used on the chest piece instead of **Intimidate**?

The **Obliterate** talent is chosen because it activates easily when critting, which happens frequently with this build, allowing for consistent damage increases. **Intimidate** requires close combat and bonus armor, which doesn’t fit the long-range combat style of this build.

What is the role of the **Memento** backpack in this build?

The **Memento** backpack provides 3% armor regeneration, bonus armor, and increased weapon damage. This makes the build more tanky and boosts the overall damage output, enhancing both survivability and offensive power.

How does the **Strain** talent benefit players when fighting bosses?

The **Strain** talent is particularly useful against bosses because it continuously increases crit damage as you fire, without relying on kills to activate. This ensures constant damage boosts during prolonged boss fights.

What makes this pistol build effective for solo play?

This pistol build is effective for solo play due to its combination of high crit damage and strong survivability features such as armor regen, elite protection, and hazard protection, making it easy to survive while dealing significant damage.

What is the total crit chance on the pistol with all the gear and modifiers?

The total crit chance on the pistol is 54%, which is achieved by combining 20% base crit chance on the pistol, 10% from the SSD watch, and 6% from each gear piece (except the Memento and Empress Guard knee pads).
