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.

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.

In your shoes I'd drop the chaos resist node (if we get hit by chaos we are dead anyway, chaos dms on high maps is too damn high)

and grab the +12% mana node on the right side of the witch tree. My witch is pretty close to being able to run 5 auras without the bloodmagic snapshot trick and you should be, too. Basically you run Vit + disc off life (bm+red mana linked to it) and haste+clarity+purity off mana.

Regarding your problem, run a rejuvenation totem if you want to avoid the Shavs ring. That is not feasible in combat, though, as it reduces the amount of offensive totems to just 1.

The IIR should be a prefix. According to this site a ilvl 68 item can't roll 22 IIR as a suffix. Therefor you still can roll IIQ. HOWEVER there is a chance that you're very unlucky and rolled both suffix and prefix on that mod already, e.g. a 10% prefix and 12% suffix, making it look like only 1 mod. Just pointing that out even though it's unlikely.

can anyone explain me how to sustain RF ? i'm at lvl77, my gear is not that great and i my dps is not that good either, so i really need RF to boost my dps so i can clear way faster.


My gear

Spoiler

I have those rings so far and i switch if i'm doing some maps (switch the res ring for the gold one) after i lvl up, so if i die i don't lose xp.
And i really need to buy new amu, but don't have the currency right now.
