" I wouldn't sell tabula rasa. Its good to have an item to test gem links, you will use it in your future characters. I would replace chest first since is the item with the highest ES. When replacing gear you should go by this rule. Survival > MF. Make your character strong enough to survive then start adding MF. When you will start doing groups you will that if you die you will not be able to rejoin the map and most likely you will be kicked for wasting the portals. Look at this video, its only about 10 seconds long. Replace "get caught" with "die" http://youtu.be/K8tuTxwswew?t=5m52s IGN Riokar | My guides [2.0]Non legacy Mjölner.

Hey again Rathik,
First thanks again. I posted a few days ago saying I wanted to try this build and you helped me a lot with your response. So, I've begun my character and am following the guide successfully so far. I'm level 44 and am on the Domination league. My current question is this: I had been following your gear choices as my 'goal' style pieces but realized that it's impossible to get some things like IIQ on Domination. I didn't know that when I started. With that in mind, can you make any new gear goal suggestions that you would change if you were playing in this league? I notice some things like Bones of Ullr boots, for example, might be better than a rare pair like yours given that I can't have the IIQ. Like I said before I just started this game recently so I'm not really sure what type of uniques are out there that I should be looking to acquire, so any suggestions would be fantastic. Thank you sir. |

" I don't really get what you are asking. I know domination doesn't have IIQ on rares but thats a good thing. You have one less thing to worry about. Everything else is the same. Bonus of ullr have low ES, no res and no IIR which you can still get on rare boots on all leagues. IGN Riokar | My guides [2.0]Non legacy Mjölner.

"I'm really tired haha my other post made sense in my head when i was typing it but not so much now. :s I also totally overlooked your entire section on gear/gem explanations -_- i was only looking at your current gear before. I've got it figured out now... thanks & sorry about that lol Last edited by Algamish#3561 on Nov 8, 2013, 6:29:12 PM

Hey Rathik,
Just wanted to let you know I am using your build atm and it was a bit slow until I got all the gems linked up, but my zombies are a wrecking crew atm. I find that getting the flame sentenel spectres from solaris temple is super strong w/ LMP, do you use different spectres? I currently got some really good drops last night and came into 30c+ in currency, I was wondering what your gear priority leveling up is. My current setup has allowed me to MF farm fellshrine, and I want to stay here until 68 when zombies are GG and reduced mana is lvl 20. I want to start focusing on ES gear (probably chest first) and get my resists up so that I can ditch the rapier and increase my iir that way. Unfortunately I really like my links atm and upgrading to non 4L items will cause great chaos. I would love suggestions! Was also wondering what the best way to start getting my gems to 20% quality. Did you turn lvl 20 zombie in w/ gcp for 20% or just buy a 20/20 or just slowly start throwing GCPs into the gems? The last option seems like a crazy investment, 20 gcp for each gem will take me a while, but I guess give me something to work towards. Thanks for your time and help! I love the build!

" Never use a GCP on a non quality gem. The lowest quality gem that can drop is at 5%. It makes sense, for example, to use 5GCP on a 15% Q gem to make it 20% if you can get it on a good price. Another example. Say a 20% gem it sells for 12 gcp and you found a 10% gem. Its better to use 10 gcp on it instead of paying 12 to buy one. You need to learn the prices, which is hard in this game and takes a long time to master this and you also need to keep up with the prices because the change often. You also need to LEARN to negotiate. If someone low balls you on an item, counter offer him, don't just ignore him, ignoring him is basically loosing a customer. Put pride on side. How do you think the billionaires on this planet got to be billionaires? By ignoring customers? (I am just making a point here, no need to start a discussion over the billionaires) The best way to learn is to interact and trade with other people, monitor the trade chat and the trade forums. The forums are tones of knowledge. Read them, hate them, love them. They are a big part of the game and anyone who is not using them is missing out. For my gems I traded most of them, some found and made them 20% and used the recipe on some to make them 20%. You should ALWAYS level 6 popular gems on your switch slots. Its a slow but steady source of income. Domination is a new league so it will he harder to shop for gear. In time it will get better. IGN Riokar | My guides [2.0]Non legacy Mjölner.

" Awesome advice, thank you! I have only been in nemesis league for this characters life time, which is only 4 or 5 days, but yes learning the economy is very important in any game and I typically try to do this. I find quality gems to be hard to put a price on and lots of the new ones people are just unfamiliar with (I have a 16% cast on crit and 0% cast on crit that are collecting dust). I am leveling a second zombie skill on my offhand wand. Sockets were slim early, but yes I try to always have my sockets full to maximize that aspect. With respect to upgrading, do I seem to grasp the concept that you would employ for this build? Anything else in the post you could comment on? Thanks for the great info on gems, that was very helpful. |

Currently farming Lunaris okay, but can't kill piety. I'm having a lot of trouble getting my zombies to survive, so i'm guessing I have to spend a exalt or 2 on a 20/20 Raise Zombie to start mapping? IGN:WitchSummonerz Last edited by fid1#1644 on Nov 9, 2013, 12:14:10 AM

If you want to kill Piety easily...just get Undying Evangelists first from the Scepter of God. Then hide under their shields when you face her. You'll be immune to ranged attacks as long as the enemy isn't in that bubble with you. I usually link them with faster casting and remote mine for the extra punch (and trust me,they pack a can and a half of ass-whooping before that). I'm currently level 77 from farming lunaris and dominus (occasionally I'll get destroyed by Dominus Ascendant's blood rain, but that's due to the fact that I have a combined total of...2k ES with 500 hp (Greedily reserving life for quad aura). Although my build doesn't cull because I'm scrambling to survive a burst of damage more often than not.
Here's my crap:

And if I can survive dominus with this...I think you can survive basically anything with those gears you have. |
