any one made a 78+ map with this build is it tanky enought?!

It can do it, but takes a bit better gear. It takes a hundred hours of mapping to even get to 78 maps. By then you will have many exalts to buy much better weapons like doryani for an offhand and more powerful gloves.

I chained lvls 71-73 Zana Missions yesterday. Everyone else stayed in a big group. I whirled ahead and did the whole missions myself about 3 times. Full 6 man Party.

and PePe a few post back you said you were pissed about fortify mechanic?! and wanted to swtih to phys from elemental?!?! can you explain why? and did you made the change? was it appropriate?!
did the tree chagne or gear suggestioN?

and PePe a few post back you said you were pissed about fortify mechanic?!

Yup it's a shit mechanic. It should be + melee dmg not +physical melee dmg. It screws any elemental melee builds.

"

and wanted to swtih to phys from elemental?!?! can you explain why?

I wanted to switch to put fortify in my main attack so I don't have to proc it w/ whirling blades.

"

and did you made the change?

No. I haven't really played much. I'm about to play for a few hours now. I found a workaround. Doryani's mace is pretty cheap this league. With that, we can use leap slam which isn't as horrible as whirling blades. I'm saving up for that mace now.

"

gear suggestioN?

Doryani main hand and use fortify w/ leap slam.

Pete you just ignore some facts.
Armour users also got fortify, enfeeble and endu charges (most of time at last 5). AA is also available. Of Course don't forget about shield/DW block. In ancalagon3000 build you can easy get 50 block chanse and 25 spell block only with Lazhwar.
Its give you basicly all benefits from your defence strategi and much more.
But don't get me wrong. I really like your guide and wish you luck with this build.

Its not my build, the guy who has that build is not my bf or idol either, as childish OP seems to think. OP has continuously demonstrated zero knowledge of game mechanics. PA and spell block do not work vs explosions like nemesis and bloodlines death explosions or suicide mobs like purple bandits or sirens or a3 beetles, or reanimator / alira CE, because they are not classisfied as attacks or spells or even hits - last point being very important and case in point for why fort or arctic armour won't work either. His 'exponential defenses' are something anyone can get and even that build I linked has. He doesn't seem to know no curse maps exist and enfeeble vs bosses sucks cuz they end up doing less than 10% less damage. He shows no respect for a guy who tanked level 80+ map boss with abyssus on, while he reached level 90+, and only died because he rushed into a very stupid mistake, and then has the nerve to talk lots of shit and a big game while boasting his build is full of OP tankiness using cruel boss vids and merc brutus kill vids ROFL. I was simply telling him armor is only bad if you don't invest in it - just like any other defense, a very valid and reasonable point, and he started raging here and via PM LOL. The myth that armor is crap is a misunderstanding and misinterpretation of its diminishing returns nature being very evident if you have 10k or less armour only - this myth of all amounts of armor being useless is only repeated ad nauseum by noobs. People like tinko and gellig have proved repeatedly how badass armor is by tanking vaal dom and malachai smashes, while guys like this dude cry about them all day long. Physical damage is not the worst in this game - how about the buffed immortal call? Learn to use it OP plz - it's actually ele and chaos dmg bursts because chaos is capped at 75 and resists are difficult to take up to 90+ and penetration/-max resists >>>>

L2P OP.

It still procs, but you get no other bonus other than fortify is what I mean. Essential it's a waste of a gem link in an elemental build.

L2P OP.

OK dude I'm just done replying to your crap. I didn't even read it go away already.



In other news. I just got done doing some group 73-76 maps. Guess what, I survived. They were all alched as well. I'm Lvl 86 ATM same low-cost setup as well. I'll try posting a few vids via youtube of solo 70-72 maps I've been running.

I dont understand why you dont just post the 73-76 maps? 70-72 maps now are like saying 66 maps pre 2.0. You spammed the front page with cruel and merc boss vids. Your alched 77 map is from pre 2.0 ... the game had a major reshuffle and monster damage has increased substantially. I don't know what is keeping you back from posting a level 80+ boss fight with hard map mods with your uber tanky character. Surely, if I had such a badass tanky character and someone was doubting me about it on a public forum, and I already demonstrated I can record videos with ease and spam my topic with them, I would post one or a couple in a jiffy.

No one uses fort for the increased melee phys dmg, that is just a small bonus. Facepalm.

It takes over 20k armor to mitigate a measily 10% of a merciless Kole slam.

So merc kole slam does 18k phys dmg now?

Talks shit about level 90+ player doing 80+ maps bosses with abyssus on and facetanking them while ....

On another note...
Well, The game definitely got much harder when mapping. Normal trash mobs hitting for ALOT of damage. Even with our multi-layered defense we are using, for the first time I actually feared for my life. I almost died. I actually ported out and did not finish the map. We will likely need to invest in armor, and possibly a 4th endurance charge by the templar area when we head there. I just kill mobs so fast that I don't want to get that fortify up. But it's a necessity. I think I will be swapping in a granite flask instead of a speed flask.

Updated Loot filter.

High level items were showing up w/ a funk bright white bg. I added mroe alpha to this. This is ilvl 75+ rares for regal recipe. iLvl 77 Items have slightly brighter highlights.

When Doing 69+ Maps. droplvl < 60, 50, & 30 show up in darker and darker reds. These items you can do without picking up in large group maps. Red means bad. Wands and daggers are excluded from this.

Much harder to get higher maps than it used to be. I added chisel recipes. Rock Breaker, Gavel, and the other one were added. Get them to 20 quality then vendor w/ a map and get a chisel!

ilvl 75+ belts, rings, amulets now show up w/ slightly orange to signify importance of regal recipe.

Now hiding scroll fragments and alt fragments for that annoying tempest that craps litters the ground in.

Please let me know if anything in particular is annoying and I may take it into consideration.

Added a promenade map video. Should be up w/in an hour.

71 map with no damage mods and one can easily see the massive holes in your defenses. Teaches you to stay humble next time before insulting a 90+ player and giving misleading information regarding armor. I won't have to embarass you again.
