I dont understand, why you type 40k+ dps if you have 14k???

The toolbox is wrong on cyclone. i've done the test, and you can try it. Using dual strike 22K DPS, i kill Kole in 4seconds. Using cyclone with an announced 10K dps, i also kill kole in 4 seconds. So the real DPS of my cyclone is 22K, more or less.

hello,i followed your build, and i got to merciless level, but starting merciless the first act 1 boss just can 2 shot me to death, what can i do?

You have no cold resistance on your gear other than the Wurm's Molt, so that is probably why you're running into problems against him. Cold resistance is probably your lowest resist and he deals cold damage.

You have probably used that helm for too long now and your boots need to be replaced as soon as possible. You have to keep an eye on your resists, they take a big hit in Merciless and it's hard enough to cap them with this build as it is.

What are your current stats on the Defense tab?

Hi,

I have been running this build for a while and it is soon time to upgrade my gear.

Where do u guys think I should start?

This is what I go :-)



Thank you in advance.

Currently one of my someone I know is trying out this build. He is currently lvl 50 or so I believe. Would it be possible for anyone to give a list of unique items which can be used to run this build from. I know there are a couple of items in the lvling gear tab but I was wondering if I could get a full list.

Thanks in advance

Guys, i got a big dilemma regarding soultaker- wouldnt it be better to use its 40+ex value and buy with that an equal pdps 1haxe(lets say 400pdps)? With soultaker we replace bloodmagic gem for added fire damage, but with 400pdps 1haxe hatred could stack really high... Has anyone wealthy enough tried that alternative for this build?

I had the same doubt long ago, but never had ST so I couldn't test it, and no one answered when I asked. Now I have the ST and a 350pdps axe I tested with, it goes like this: the extra damage from the ST(282pdps)+Added fireQ20 combo destroys the 350dps axe+Blood magic alternative combo. Now, I did this last week and I already forgot the exact difference, but it was something like 3k dps. I suspect to even come close to ST's combo dps you would need to use blood magic with some insane mirrorable axes, such as the 541 dps one going around the boards.

Conclusion: dmg (cost) maximization (minimization) would be ST+insane dps rare axe.

-Start stacking up life, you have no idea how important hp is. Basically you can't do 70+ maps under 4k hp.
-Get a decent 5L from someone in trade chat. But do not attempt to 5L yourself. You can get one for under 1ex depending on mods. Put BM on the 5th link.
-Get 2x 250 dps axes, you can get both for 1ex if you haggle a bit.
-Get a 150+ evasion/armor pair of gloves with IAS, it improves dps a lot.
-Use transmutations on hp pots, you need "sos pots" with the mod "instant healing on low life". Try to get the "increased evasion rating" on your granite as well for added armor (if you have IR, it'll transform into armor).
-Go for flat added dmg+ high life (50+) on your rings. Even 2-4 increased flat dmg goes a long way for dps.

Just some basic ideas I'm mentioning at the top of my head. Good luck.

Couldn't you squeeze more damage out of your weapons by changing their socket colors to red?

Aside from the leveling gear, there is the Bringer of Rain helm and the Soul Taker axe. I don't recommend any of the unique 1-handed swords, except maybe the Prismatic Eclipse Twilight Blade, and I wouldn't recommend doing anything other than leveling with it.
