How much should I list this ring for?

(Is it worth eternal crafting for flat phys? Anyone here wanna buy?)

5.7% dps increase on my rings (107k fully buffed difference)



I'd buy it, but Wise Oak resistances...

One thing I've been noticing while playing this build is that there is a little trick to dealing with rares that have Elemental Reflect on them. Instead of attacking them directly, which hits them with your ramped up melee damage, DO NOT attack them directly. Instead, try and get them near other mobs when possible and attack those mobs while positioning yourself to face the rare. That way, when you attack, you hit the rare with the blade portion of FrostBlades...it'll still do a fair amount of damage, but because the blades aren't scaled as much as the AOE, the damage reflected to you is way more manageable.

Also, don't get in the habit of popping all of your flasks when you see a rare with Ele. Reflect. That's a sure-fire way to REALLY skate with death. Instead, just pop your Taste of Hate for the extra Cold Resist and attack gingerly at that point. Another blatantly obvious thing that people might forget...if you DO attack a rare Ele. Reflect mob and you don't kill it, but chunk your ES...RUN AWAY AND RECHARGE. It seems blatantly obvious, but you'd be surprised what people forget with the easiest things to remember. Taking those extra few seconds to recharge back to full can mean the difference between killing the mob, and losing 10% Exp, or taking a trip out of Hardcore, if that's your thing.

Maybe a silly question. But I'm just coming back after almost a 2 year break. Regarding gem levels. Since there are no specific levels next to the gems in that section am I to assume just level them all to 20? Or would someone be able to break down what gems I am leveling to what level. I just don't want to level it too far and have to waste currency bringing it back down. Thank you in advance!

man i wanted try play this build but its stupid that u have to buy Atziri's Splendour Sacrificial Garb becuz it costs 2ex for 500 es one without even 6 sockeds and i cant buy normal regalia 700ES for 20c either becuz i wont get the colors :/

It looks like you didnt actually checked what a lot of people here are doing and didnt read guide carefully enough.
1) you can use skin of the loyal - 70c for 6l with right colors, you just need the rest of your gear to be a little bit decent in order to hit 7k es without much investment.
2) you can use new vorici jeweller coloring method on regalia to get 5 off color extremely cheap (~1k jewellers) and easy. Guide how to do this was posted even in form of video in this thread a few times.

I bought skin of the loyal for 90c and will be using map clear setup but now i wonder my only lifeech will be vinktar and boots enchant? and another thing is how do u get off color 5 with 1k jewelers? it takes 150 jewelers to just once use 5 socked and you must keep doing it until u get off color not to mention u also need it 6 socked wich is another 350 jewelers so it can take way more than 1k

You should probably take time and research details a little bit more instead of asking questions that HAVE been ALREADY answered a few times in this thread.
1) Leech? Soul Raker notable in claw cluster takes care of all leech. Vinktar? Invalesco described all flasks you need for every situation pretty well in guide. Vinktar wont do nearly enough leech cause we convert 100% of our damage to cold and lightning damage from vinktar is not enough for good leech alone.
2) Here is the video showing process to get 5 off color vaal regalia that is ~4x more efficient than just spamming chromes. Note: skin of the loyal is equal to ~700-750 ES Vaal regalia, so only 850+ es regalias are worth recoloring.

wait really 700-750 ES worth? Thats even better than expected so thats why they are that costly

in path of building to get decent ES with the CI tree posted and skin of the loyal you need some jewelry and belts that are by NO MEANS cheap. and you have to run discipline which means you need a lvl 3 enlighten or drop HoA and just run hatred/disc. Massive amounts of your damage comes from your jewelry and belt... people seem to be complaining about the links/colors/regalia but for me it seems like to go from the lvl 80 25k dps (no flasks or charges of any kind going ) to something able to have any kind of boss killing potential is going to require farming labs for enchants and buying some crazy expensive rings/neck/belt

Not sure if you mentioned it, but I am leveling atm and having big mana issues on even a 4 link.
FB-MPD-MDFL-WED are my links. I'm using a tabula atm and was thinking about getting my next 2 links, but I don't think I would be able to sustain the mana.

Also, under your Raider skill tree progression in the "Growing Pains" section.. going from 39 points to 54 points, you seem to have dropped the Thick Skin cluster. It comes back in later.
