I yes how many You waste 20lvl CA?
2) How many You waste Empower 3lvl for get Empower +4?

Besides of obvious answer of "RNG is RNG," how many Regals are you guys burning through before hitting +2 bow gems?

I bought this 6L with the intention of crafting a 2 resistance bow, but I've dumped in now around 100 regals/scours with still no +2 bow gems.

Just wondering if I should keep persisting with this, or if I've wasted enough currency and I should just alt the +2 and make a "random mod" +3 rare.

(Only reason it's a blue now is so I had something to use while I farmed more Regals)


Thanks!

To be honest, I think this is gonna be a better method. It's what I did to get my +3...then I wait and multimodded for Leo Dot and Tora Dual Res.

---- alt/aug spam until +2 bows AND a suffix
---- regal hoping for a second suffix (if not scour and start again)
---- Cannot Roll Attack mods (1ex)
---- Exalt for guaranteed +1 gems (1ex)
---- Scour Cata mod and Leo mod for DOT (1 scour 5 alch)

Hi all

I'm in standard and i was thinking what would be better, legacy gloves with 14 IIQ and 17IIR or Auresize? (40-45 IIR)

C = (1 + (IIQ/100) * (1 + (IIR/100)

(This is for all your IIQ/IIR, not just the IIQ on that particular piece of gear).

So let's say you have 20/300 currently in the setup with my recommended gear, and the rare non-legacy gloves equipped have 25% on them

Your current C would be

C = (1 + 20/100) * (1 + 300/100)
= 1.2 * 4
= 4.8

Aurseize C IIR = 300 - 25 (rare gloves) + 50 (aurseize) = 325
Aurseize C = (1 + 20/100) * (1 + 325/100)
= 1.2 * 4.25
= 5.1

Similar math for your legacy gloves puts IIR at 292%, IIQ at 34

Legacy C = 1.34 * 3.92
= 5.25

So, whatever gets you the higher coefficient. Which is dependant on what your current IIQ/IIR ratio is now with all your other stuff on gear + whether you're just running IIR gem, or IIQ gem, or both gems. Etc.

And before you ask (because I know you're thinking it =D), the reason I don't use Aurseize in the guide is because this guide isn't intended to maximize MF, but rather provide a balance between survivability and the C coefficient.

Any adjustments players make sacrificing survivability for MF is at their discretion, but this guide is tailored toward newer players to try and make them as successful as possible, and for veterans who want to MF while still being able to push 92+ comfortably.

Hi everyone! I have a slight problem. When I started playing this build I leveled using EK and it was so nice that i still use it at level 83. So I thought I would try to change to CA, but the (tooltip) damage is extremely low compared to EK. 3.5k vs 11.7k without frenzy charges and with damage auras for ek. I'm not really sure whether I want to try to invest a lot into spell damage and stick with EK or change to CA. Currently I have only put points in projectile damage (so no dot nodes).

Do you think I should change to CA or just stick with EK?
