Also the multiplier is more important much later on.



And Maligaro's offers almost the same, with extra crit.

Get Aurseize before, though. Losing 50% IIR in that slot hurts a lot.

Any advice on how to recoup the loss of IIQ if I make the switch from CI to low life? I currently have 110/381 (before flask) on my CI witch, and without Goldwyrm I'd only have 80 IIQ which seems awfully low. Is replacing Aurseize with Sadima's something that's generally done as the cheap option, or is the more optimal solution to replace at least one Andvarius with IIQ/IIR ring(s)?

Current CI MF gear (minus IIQ/IIR gems and flask):
And the rest for the sake of completeness:

Thanks a lot guys, got a pretty clear picture now :P. Gonna spend my passives now, im sure it'll beat the crap out of my summoner build, even using spork totem now (with summoner passives) i'm almost as effective as my summoner already so can only get better.

Ah that's why the facebreakers are for lvl'ing, thanks.

That's not so hard exit_zero - just very expensive.

My witch has stats of 120/310 before flask, here are her items:



Reason for dps gloves is that no matter how much IIQ and IIR you have, you want to kill fast. Farming Piety in 30 seconds vs 4 minutes makes a difference as you could be in Lunaris 3 again by that time. And my current 4.2k dps ensure that. :)

Andvarius in my opinion is suicide on maps and against Piety. I'd rather get up to 40% IIQ (2x rings) and up to 230 IIR (perfect rings + wondertraps) than 160 IIR (2x andv) and 30% IIQ. However that will cost you much, much more. I have estimated the cost of creating those rings at about 64 exalts, per ring. That is if you want to have a decent chance and eternal-regal lots of times.
However you could also try buying lots of crafting rings and get it cheaper, just takes thousands of alterations and hundreds of regals. Saves you the eternals, though.

Have you taken the Throatseeker and Nimbleness passives yet? I'm currently still leveling up gems and testing RF in docks with a new witch, and the DPS with RF seems very high compared to what I remember it being at that level with CI. I'm not sure if those nodes will be necessary at endgame (I have them on my lvl91 CI build) or not. I think I might have some trouble with maxing resists and/or sustaining RF with a normal ES shield later on, but I'm not sure yet.

Also, what about Troll's Blood? Waste of points?

This is my build at 88 with 2 unspent points and taking 4% cast speed from Alira. I could spend those 2 points on getting more mana, 4ex on Shavs ring and run all 5 auras again and have 4.2-4.4k dps. Can pretty safely run 77 maps with max fire and light resist and medium cold.

Edit: In fact I could refund EA and the 2 points before as well and get more dps but I don't know how much.

I'm pretty new to all this, could you please explain what the process is to try to craft these rings for this build?

It sounds like you've been doing it, so thought I'd ask.

So basically you start off by buying massive amounts of alterations. You can burn through 5,000 very quickly here and that's ~10ex worth of alterations. Then you buy ilvl77 gold rings for crafting at 2 or 3 chaos per item. You transmute it and then spam alterations on it and wait till you either get a top IIR (20-24) or top IIQ (18-20) roll and then augment the ring and pray for another IIR or IIQ roll. If not, you spam more alterations.

At some point you end up in a situation like me before.


(Note: I had two good rolls in 5k alterations. Odds are bad.)

That's two pretty high IIR rolls (46 out of 50) and just screams for a regal orb, however at a risk of getting poor rolls. So you need to eternal-regal it and from the top of my head I remember I'd have to do that 16 times to have a chance of over 60% of getting an IIQ roll on it.

Is it worth it? Hell no. Thanks to diminishing returns I'm pretty sure having more than 300% IIR is not worth the effort (=currency) and it makes more sense to focus on IIQ. If anything I'd aim for a bit more than 250 IIR and a ton of IIQ, aim for 120. Then run the unique flask and get used to using it a lot for bosses like Piety.

There's more to MF than just IIQ and IIR. It's also about clear speed. Being able to run Piety 10 times per hour vs 5 times per hour, even if the latter had a bit more MF, is worth a ton. That's why I'd never advise to use Aurseize at higher level. However that also is subject to diminishing returns.. ;)

As for me, I sold the ring as-is. I got this one and will maybe eternal-divine it at some point in the future and see if I can get a higher IIR and ES roll. I'm not in a hurry, though, as my MF is good enough.

It sounds as if the crafting in this game is broken.

If crafting a good MF ring takes massive exalts, then what does a half way decent mf ring run in trade?

I think that may be my only way to get these things - gratz on being able to get those things!
