Lv81, 132/337 IIQ/IIR right now and running this build with rf and 6 auras simultaneously(evasion, haste, vitality, purity, clarity, discipline). One thing to note is that a lot of comments on item finding in this thread have been overexaggerated. It is still extremely difficult to find uniques. They don't drop like candy. I've personally measured how many uniques I get per hour soloing based on 12 hours and 5 trials and it's approximately 2/hr. I run maps 67-77 and almost all the uniques are trashy ones worth less than 2 chaos. Rares, even worse.

After playing seven other characters and leveling all of them to 80 I'd say that despite the weaker clear speed vs other end game mf builds, I would recommend this build for your first item finding character since it is the LEAST expensive to begin with. However, it is far from the most efficient in terms of end-game map clearing.

If you want to earn currency, then the fastest and most efficient way is by flipping items. I've never made more than 10ex through item finding since I started playing. All of my currency has been from flipping. So before dumping 45 exalts and several dozen hours of playtime into creating an item finding character like I have, you guys should know that relying on RNG to make money is like playing the lottery. It sucks in comparison to the stock market game where you buy low-sell high and you will always earn currency for your time.

As I've approached end-game, it's become more obvious that there is no other point to killing monsters than to item find. If you have the exalts, then you can reach an optimal 184iiq/397iir on any character.

B-b-but what about damage?

All you really need end game is to reach 1800 dps and you will instagib virtually every monster on every map besides rares and uniques obviously. Buying a top tier end game weapon can singlehandedly land you above 1800+ dps

BTW Springleaf is superior to Rise of the Phoenix. Springleaf grants you godly constant ES regen which outshines all benefits from Rise of the Phoenix. ROP is a piece of shit compared to Springleaf. If you run low hp + rf, then Springleaf is the BEST most fucking OP godmode shield in the game despite it's crappy ES and no spell damage. The only other shield that beats it is a rare with +1000 ES, spell damage, and crit chance. I only know one guy in this game with that shield and he spent several dozen exalteds just to craft it.

In case you guys are wondering, here is my equipment

When I'm not partying I use moonsorrow, which is most cost-efficient end-game lightning weapon in the game.

You don't have a end game stuff for talk about Clear speed
1800+ dps ? is pretty low
Was at 5200 before i stop

Dual spark is by far the more efficient in clear speed
Their is no doubt about this

After this you talk about 2unique/h
Go back to a other char and tell me if you see more than this with this clearspeed
My other char was like 1/10h

My advice
Drop some iq/ir (100/300 is far enough)
Get dps and surviva for 75+ maps^

ps: moonsorrow and heartbreaker are Low/mid game items

Sorry but u need to learn ur prefix on item mods before lying about a 1000+ es shield with spell crit n spell dmg. It takes 3 top tier es prefixes to even hit 700+ es. 1000 + es is impossible. if u want spell dmg which is also a prefix u're down to a max of 6xx es.

springleaf sux. It's only use should b on weap swap to regenerate es if u need it. If u need springleaf to avoid negative es regen then u're doing something wrong.


the only part of ur post I can agree with is flipping items being way more profitable. Thats how I got all my gear n currency. But there's no point in being rich if u dont use it, and no point in mapping if u dont have ir/iq, so I spend a ton of exalts on mf gear tat I can use while mapping easily... even 77 maps. Sure I probably wont earn back wat I spent on equipping my witch but at least I earn a decent amount by playing instead of flipping which is boring as hell.

1800 dps is no where enough for end game. Even if u solo.

Do you even read? Nowhere did I say that 1800 dps is endgame. It is enough for your totems to kill everything. What is your tooltip dps on the spork totem? I bet it is not even 1800. Take a screenshot and show it to everyone.

You don't know what you are talking about. You are ignoring the effect of upgrading a shield's quality. I don't remember the exact bonuses besides ES and chance but you are mistaken. The guy with a shield past 1000+ exists and has offered mirror services many times.
