The biggest problem is the gear. You need a fair bunch of high-end gear:
- Shavronnes Wrapping (30ex for a 5L) or you will get killed by chaos damage
- Prism Guardian (8 ex) to fit all the auras in
- Heartbreaker (2ex) to cull-otherwise you need a 6L Shavroinne, which are about 70ex)
- 2 Andvariusses (2.5 ex each) to get high magic find
for a total of 45 Exalted Orbs.

Or, in other terms: 900 chaos, or 1800 fusing, or about 15.000 alteration orbs.

It is unlikely that you can afford the gear. For a newbie even the barest absolute minimum to run this build (Prism Guardian: 8 exalted/160 chaos/320 fuse) is a huge barrier. When I started it took me a LONG time to get 5 exalted to buy a 5L Lioneyes bow.

If you can afford the gear, it is not so hard to play. Cast all auras, and run around plunking down totems near critters while staying out of their way. It is vastly easier to play than many melee builds.

Awe ok, guess I will play something else than which is a real bummer.

Gear Requirements
Shavronne's Wrappings is recommended for this build; you will also want a Heartbreaker and Prism Guardian eventually to be all you can be.

Dude- what is so hard to understand about the phrase "not optional". I understand feedback, but calling it "extremely awkward grammar" and the continuing bitching about it makes you look like some kind of idiot. I'm not changing it, and next time you find a spelling mistake instead of coming across like a offensive twat, just state what you feel should be changed and leave it at that.

Whoa dude, did you miss the smiley emoticons?? I thought I was being polite and civil.

I asked for clarification: "Not optional" still doesn't tell me if it is required or recommended. You still haven't answered that question. :-(

Sorry for offering some advice and you got your panties in a knot. :-((

Nice guide!

One suggestion for readability and less confusion... :-)

Could the extremely awkward grammar "are not optional" be fixed please?

Is it required??
Is it recommended??

Also recommend changing the plural to singular since are implies I need more then one Shav?? Holy crap this is an expensive build! :-)

I find guides to be more "accessible" if they also list common options to cover the wide range of player's wealth until they can afford the "top end" gear.
e.g.

Just some friendly constructive criticism as I found the poor English of that one sentence to be extremely confusing; other native English speakers will as well. I've never read/heard anyone ever use the vague phase: "not optional." It is almost as bad as the oxymoron: "voluntary consent" or voluntary surrender" that the Theater Security Agency goons use when their unconstitutional jurisdiction is questioned. :-/

Again, a very nice guide!

Squishy with similar gear that OP posted? I don't even have the full build set up because half my crap is on standard and half is on domination, but I don't think I will die too often.





My setup minus good ammy/helm:

Guess it depends what level too... this is for my 92 Witch:
