What gems did you run in it?

Golems (self cast) dont seem to work either :/

Edit: Doesn't look like it can work if you've taken CI


Any gem socketed in chest, will not work. Its alternative only for beginning of the league if you want to rush content.


Got it thanks :)

Is Astramentis kind of needed unless you can pick up big amounts of dex/str on your gear (and therefore miss out on other stats on that gear) to meet the gem requirements?

Might have to start saving now!
Astramentis, aside from fixing your stat requirement problems, gives you around 100 int - which gets multiplied by around 50% in the most optimal setup. If not it's usually around 35%. Anyway, it's a lot of int - only surpassed by a few rares, that of course don't have also 100 strength and dexterity.
What do people think of the new wise oak flask for this build? An extra 20% fire pen +10% damage reduction to either/both cold and lightning damage taken sounds decent enough, especially since we can't run atziris promise anymore.

Guys sorry for the noob question but this is my second league and my first playing as a CI.. How much do you guys would pay for a 5L 600~700ES with 50+ int Vaal Regalia? I don't really want to overpay it because i don't know the price for CI gear.

I've run WI now in 3 leagues (for different reasons in each!)

2 of the 3 I ended up crafting what I wore (650-770 ES chest, for example), and in the third I purchased a fairly good chest cheaply (40c or so.)

Learn to love essences of spite; you will be using them a lot!

I read in the first page that i'll be using that essence to craft the crystal belt but i don't think i would know how to craft a chest with 700ES+ tbh. I have about 350c to get a nice chest but maybe i should wait the prices get a bit lower i guess.

I made it to 82 before I scored an Astramentis, took me awhile to scrape up the cost and I had a good 67 INT amulet and stacked STR/DEX on other gear. So yeah, you can add that late, though you'll be fighting resists and attribute requirements the whole way.

Also, Black Sun Crest is still sitting in my stash, not using it yet. While leveling and before you get that last Fertile Mind, a good rare helmet with INT, ES and resists is probably a better bet (for SURE a better bet if you don't have Astramentis!). I'll probably start using it at 88, when all my ducks are in a row and the percentage increase can do its thing. And when I've gotten better than 600 ES chest, because losing 200+ ES from my helmet is gonna hurt right now.

Though granted, I tended to either farm the hell out of Dried Lake or yellow maps so far, might change my tune about BSC in red maps. Oh, and I'm playing the Marauder version.

EDIT: If you can score a pair of ES gloves or boots with "32% reduced attribute requirements", you can save yourself a LOT of chromes, they're much much MUCH easier to off-color. Same trick to keep in mind when crafting a chest that needs off-colors, use alterations to get that stat, get your colors where you want them before going on to alt it some more, or use an essence.

Don't forget to chose Legacy league.
Hi at all

I played till now only CA and had alltime the problem, that i cant do the endbosses myself.
Last leage i played a doubble scourge toon and it works well. But its verry hard to lvl for me.
Then i want this leage a build that i can lvl fast and was NOT totem, mine or spectre build because i hat that playstyle.
So a friend told me to try this build. First i thought what the hell is that?
But after playing it to 68 til now, its the best build i ever played to lvl. Will see how it works in Endgame.
its totally fun to play and its a little from ranger and a little bit from meelee. So i love it.

I have only 2 problems because i died. (only 8 deads but it hurts me if i think i go into 80s, then its a big amount of playtime to die and i dont have soo much playtime)

First i cant see the any ground effects. so if there are flame or frost bearers sometime i check it only when i die. And to look after ALL blue packs what they are is really anoying.

Second if i hit a mob with corrupting blood, i collect so fast charges that i sometimes see it when i am dead.

Third. Sometimes indoor i cast scorching ray but there is no icestorm and if i dont move really fast i am dead. What happens then. Is there a min distance or something or is it a bug.

Perhaps some of you guys can give me some hints how to handle such problems.

all in all its a really great funny build and i hope it works in high lvl encounter so good like
now.
Thanks a lot for sharing this build. i love it.
Is CWC better than Selfcast then ? and also what tool tip are you looking at while CWC in comparison to self-cast mine seems considerably lower but none the less still enough.
