Hey, if you can't really afford some of the gear is it still worth playing? Am thinking mostly about the kaom's.	Posted by KonsthandlarN#2933 on Jun 20, 2016, 4:29:13 PM Quote this Post

The only time a lvl 3 empower seems to be worth taking over fire pen is when the resists of the mob are really really high or really really low. I believe most mob resists falls in the middle. Oh that's very interesting, thank you! I'll rather stick to FirePen then :) " KonsthandlarN wrote: Hey, if you can't really afford some of the gear is it still worth playing? Am thinking mostly about the kaom's. Kaom's is worth it but not really neccessary imo. 5linking a Quill Rain is pretty easy this league as well, shouldn't cost more than 20-30c. If you get to that level, get a L20 EA (only costs a few c) it'll boost your dps by quite a bit and should make you ready for atleast T7 if you have enough defenses. To be honest, this build has such a fast clearspeed that you'll probably make enough currency to buy whatever you want anyway.

I just bought a 6L corrupted chest with the right colours for my AoE attacks and used a 5L quill rain for my single target. It costs about 1ex for the both. Kaom's isn't really necessary.

Can someone explain to me why Elemental Equilibrium isn't worth it? Also do we want grand spectrum for jewels or just rare ones?	Posted by bazzzzzzz#3800 on Jun 20, 2016, 9:02:42 PM Quote this Post

Quote from FAQ: "EE makes your burn less strong, and it will only work for the mobs you hit with your arrow, not the mobs your AoE hits." I thought about it too but it makes sense that it isn't really worth it. We have a max of 5 jewel sockets, I don't know if 5 Grand Spectrum are enough. If you play HC, I'd prefer %Life + 2 dmg stats.

What about jewels?	Posted by andylee92#7570 on Jun 21, 2016, 10:50:06 AM Quote this Post

is blood magic necessary, im thinking if its possible to do a EA build without it.. And then possibly run auras/curses or so?	Posted by bazzzzzzz#3800 on Jun 21, 2016, 6:36:59 PM Quote this Post
Can you help with the order of importance for passives? For example a lvl50 and lvl70 tree would help a lot.	Posted by SoonDead#6578 on Jun 22, 2016, 2:38:51 AM Quote this Post
