Second Atziri's or Vinktar flask instead of the wise oak?
Right now I have around 45-50 ex. Not enuf to get a 950+ ES chest but the amount is okay to buy some minor stuff like opal rings.
It's around 46k DPS with GMP & l.golem on in the ho.


Why on earth would you replace the wise oak when you are still using a quicksilver ? That's the one that you should replace. Between 8 charges and whirling blades the quicksilver is all but useless. Your gear is pretty good. Maybe you can get better HOWAs (more dex) and of course the opal rings you mention.

So I've recently just purchased this along with a level 4 enlighten and level 4 empower, level 21 disc and level 21 wrath. My DPS increased was about 4-5k and around 1k ES - I was just wondering I'm left with around 4 casts of spectral throw and I'm able to clear insanely quickly but sometimes my attack speed will make me run out of mana and Im out of mana for like a split second. was just wondering how you guys went about this (if theres anyone else that went down this path)

Sitting at around 65k hideout(no ancestral guardian) and around 12kes. End game content is a joke lol


Anyone using these + lvl 4 empower lvl 4 enlighten and 21,21 wrath and disc and having mana issues? any way around this? deep thoughts node maybe? mana leech?

I recently also switched to these after having used my EW-on-hit pair for the longest time. Also encountered considerable mana problems running Empower in the aura loop, so much so that I actually dropped Empower altogether. Eventually I solved the situation by speccing out of EO and using Skyforth... but that's another build altogether.

Since you have 12k ES with Disc you could try dropping Discipline for something more offensive, like HoT (reserves less mana). 10k should still be extremely comfortable for all content in the game right now.

I use this setup.

By speccing into Primal Spirit I ended up with the same amount of free mana I had prior to using empower; moreover, mana regen is a bit higher.
Thats actually a really good idea.. Cant believe i havent thought about this thank you!. Also ~ thoughts on FA vs added L dmg?

I think that FA results in a bit more damage - but it's close.

Hey guys I've not had a lot of time to play recently but want to take on guardians/endgame bosses like Shaper and Uber Atziri.


I was wondering if my gear is good enough for guardians yet and what to improve on my gear next? (Have about 10ex worth to spend)


@ 9.9k ES about and 35.5k GMP in hideout with wrath/disc on and with golem.





I still am using some resist nodes since I wasnt able to get resist capped with my current gear, few percent short.

What should I change/upgrade first? I know my vink flask isn't the proper one with penetration either, is that a huge help over my current one?


Thanks.




Yall think I'm ready to try guardians in my current gear? Have two of the four maps so far and will probably try them later today.
Gear-wise... easily. Shaper too if you know the fight (get a Vinktar's with pen though).

Alright thanks, any specific mods I should watch out for on guardian maps? Have a Hydra one with more monster life (not sure if increased boss health makes that much hrader) and Ele weakness..



Also is Vink's flask with pen that much better? Will try to get one later today and replace my current one with that.


Thanks.

The only mod I worry about is elemental reflect - for that I swap out my weapon elemental damage for a leech gem instead.

The Vinktar's with penetration is much better.
