How is the OP's build now? Has anything been nerfed or is there something better out there at the moment?


OP is no longer updated, try the guide by Rapterjesus or some such, in this same forum subsection.
would you concider taking +1 power charge and power duration instead of taking 10 int and 10 dex? It is on the left of IF, those two choices both take 2 points and will link the rest of tree together.

I noticed that you dont utilize power charge in your build, the question really is, is that 10 int and 10 dex useful at all, or are they just as useless as the power charge for this build.

Thank you.

Guys, when entering a new instance of a map, how can you effectively cast the auras? I mean the game fucks up my blood magic casted auras when I enter a new instance...
Bring your BM gear, or use the gem to avoid the exploit altogether (with less auras ofc).

It makes zero sense to use charges with this build. This is a MF farming build that also gets dps (but not purely) and sacrifices survivability for it. In order to keep charges up you have to get kind of close to monsters (even with ice spear), at least closer than you want to. If you don't want to die, cast totems far away from you and don't use charges.

Or, in short, this is a glasscannon build that quickly dies in high maps (even lunaris 3), so play it safe. Very safe. Even with godly gear.

Hi Teacher,
I am almost lvl 81 and I am thinking about switching Springleaf for some decent high ES crit/spell shield, but I am worry I wont be able to sustain it or I might but wont have any ES regen (big problem). I am not running Trolls blood and dont have IF.
I know ure running Gale Spell how are you sustaining it? U get any ES regen at all?

Also what should I rather focus on the shield, spell damage vs crit? Lets say 50 spell damage vs 100 crit chance? (asking cos getting both is likely too expensive for me right now)

Btw switching from Aurseize to Maligaros only adds me like 300 dps (from 2.2K to 2.5) u mentioned it added 500 dps to you (I have all important gems 18-20/20 except RF which is 10% qual. and got most of the crit nodes already) why is that?

Last question,
I got 70/292 IIQ/IIR before flask (with Aurseize) is it enough or should I be pushing for even more (it would cost me a lot) or the difference is negligible with the diminishing returns?

thanks in advance
My sporker had a small regen but really not much. I switched to my springleaf offhand to regen faster. I could not sustain RF on -resist or half regen maps but I suppose you could do what I would have done next, getting the Shavs ring for 4% ES regen. Sure, you lose some MF but having slightly lower MF (that is unless you run a really powerful ring setup) and better clearspeed is the better option.

I can't comment on the shield, switched from Springleaf to my current one and skipped everything inbetween. However it is my understanding that high spell damage and high crit chance basically have the same impact.

Maligaro's is more powerful the better your crit chance is (no matter how many crit chance nodes you picked, my sporker was 88 and had them all, plus >100% from wand and >100% from shield). It's not the 50% crit chance, it's the 50% crit multiplier that make it so useful. That's almost the whole crit mult cluster on the right side in 1 item.

As for MF, it's completely random. I currently farm with 130/290 before flask. If I ever care enough, I can boost it to 134/338 for ~160ex. Don't see why, though.

Thx for the answer,
well I dont have shavs so I cannot do maps, would u recommend to run the shavs ring mainly for those problematic maps? I am currently only farming Lunaris/Docks rly, also gettin the shavs ring I would have to either replace my Andvarius (around 70 IIR) or my second ring (19 IIQ 37 IIR and 37 dex to save a node) so it would rly hurt...maybe switching between shields outside battle is the best option after all meh

a bit offtopic:
I saw in one of yours posts you consider Lunaris better then maps, why is that? I made a discharge templar recently (similar to yours but with CI and no MF/RF, just focusing on fastest clear speed) so I can run all maps but I am rly torn now if it is even profitable (Ive heard that ppl who run 75-77 maps dont rly care about MF, ofc except parties with cullers) because u say Lunaris is better anyway....I just want to make profit rly, does majority of your income come from RNG?

thanks in advance

I guess it's a matter of personal preference. I've sold off my entire Shavs sporker and will never be seen mapping again. Not even on 66 maps. After my mirror I got ~80ex sitting in my stash (give or take, 60ex + 600chaos) so it's not a matter of not being able to afford another 6L Shavs. I just don't want to.

As far as income goes, I'm in a decent situation. I know a guy who makes three times as much as I do per day but I have a good idea of what he's doing, where he's farming and how I can do the same. :)
Hello darkness my old friend..

Just bought a new shield to replace my Springleaf and I degen....god I am so pissed, wasted so much money on it, how is that even possible with 4.8K ES and 78 max fire resist? Not to even mention that the shield has 5% spell and 78% crit and my dps rises from 2.3K to 2.4...seriously what the hell?
