Coming along nicely.
" Did you mean Twinned? For the Vulnerability suffix; You might want to add a note, that regardless of prefixes or other suffixes, a map with this suffix will ALWAYS have at least 2 (usually all 3) of... Charging mobs (Rhoas/Ribbons/Blackguard Elites) Puncture mobs (Non-Shell Crabs/Archers/Undying) Bombing degen mobs (Alchemists/Incinerators) It's worth noting because of the properties of Vulnerability and these mobs. Casually casual. Last edited by TheAnuhart#4741 on Apr 15, 2013, 6:31:10 PM

I'm happy to see a resource such as this. I've finally got a character that is map viable, so I will be starting maps for the first time soon. This guide will certainly make it a bit easier for me.

What are your map ratings based on? I disagree with some of them (it's all opinion anyway):
- Tropical Island blows. It's very easy, but it's short and doesn't scale well with an area mod. - Overgrown Ruin is awesome, probably 4 stars. Difficult for a 66, but is solid with maze. - Mountain Ledge isn't that great. It's my favourite 67, but that's because it's linear and easy. Average for drops. - Reef sucks. It's easy and quick, but incredibly small. Area size is also garbage on it. I think if you are going to rate maps, you should stick to rating them based on drops and how they scale with mods. For instance, Spider Lair is sexy, but it's also tough to navigate, is close quarters and the boss can be dangerous. As an overall rating (which incorporates difficulty and clear speed), it shouldn't be 5 stars, but in terms of drops, it is definitely 5 stars. The inconsistency here is when you rate stuff like Mountain Ledge with 4 stars. Mountain Ledge is an "average" source for maps, probably 2 to 3 stars, but you give it 4 because it's "quick and easy", and not in terms of pure drops. How are you rating these? Difficulty? Drops? Overall? None of those options are consistent with your ratings at this point. Last edited by s4ntana#2842 on Apr 15, 2013, 7:57:52 PM
