which bosses you cant deal with?


It's not that I can't deal with them it's that I can't kill them in an acceptable amount of time. The big one being Dominus.

I can freeze him right away when he spawns with the Adds. But as soon as I get 1 Flameblast off he's free to touch me all day.

I can't freeze him to feel safe enough to cast a Flameblast to burn him.

Would a skele-totem help pin him down?

I'm trying the shock nova+ multi + trap + EP but my dmg seems a bit low to reliably shock in lvl 72+ maps; how much should i hit for with taht trap? (72-1384).

Is there a way to tell how many shock stacks a mob has?


Did your shock nova have quality? 30% chance to shock is from 20% quality.
What level is your shock nova?


It is Q20 level 18 with no pssives spent on lightning/shock
Rathpith or good 300+ rare shield? 2-3 ex budget(standard)

Also how important are Rainbowstrides?

I am wondering how you managed to get items for leveling... I have the problem that i cant find any good items i can wear.
All good items have a too high requirement ... Nearly 40 right now, my killingbspeed is very good, but it is hard to fund items to upgrade my gear.
How do you manage to get to the dex/str requirement?


Thanks


Amulet offered 10-16 att.

Strength requirement - two 30 str nodes from passives / using a belt with the strength mod.

Dexterity requirement - two 30 dex nodes & i didn't use the gears or gems with high dex req.

Is trying this from templar a big difference or can i do it with relatively little difficulty in the early leveling process?


Don't worry. It's similar to start from templar.

If you owned the more block chance from passives or gears, the rathpith globe or rainbowstride is pretty good. They offered block chance to spell. If your block chance isn't high, you can also use the rare gears. The rare gears offered the more movement speed, resistance, spell damage or ES.

My shock nova trap is Lv19Q20 (89 - 1683). It could work at 75+ maps.

I didn't know how to find the shock stacks in enemies, too.

Dominus

Stage 1: walk around the center circle to escape dominus. And then do normal rotation. I kill it about 2-3 hit. If you didn't freeze the boss, the tip is "didn't do max stage flamblast every time". That made you the more dangerous.

Stage 2: Carry a flask removing bleeding and do normal rotation. I didn't move my position and could kill it about 3 hit.

PS.My gears is same as the gears in video 2.


about melee bosses (Spider Forest / Strand / Dark Forest ....)

The tip is flame totem linked GMP and Knockback. It's viable in many builds. If they were troublesome, try to use flame totem.


Finally, i must remind everyone of trying to utilize the monsters near bosses. For example, in video 1, i pulled the boss to a group and hit it.

Im playing on nemesis so I went with the scion/life version of the skill tree

I have a couple of questions:

-Should I still go for infernal mantle since it gives great fire dmg?

-What stats should I look for in end-game gear?

-Are there any uniques that would work well with the scion life build?

I'm obviously prioritizing survivability


Thanks
