[3.0 SC/HC] Aixx's indepth HoWA ST Raider Guide ♣ [ Shaper | Guardians | U. Atziri ]

Aixx, just want to say thanks for the well written guide.

This is the first league I've played properly and I managed to kill all guardians (one shot) and today got my first shaper kill. Only 2 portals left but thats from lack of skill/knowledge on fight!

My gears not the best but it got the job done! Any places you think I could improve said gear?

Thanks again mate!

hi Aixx,

try to get some upgrade and purchase a culling howa but with low stats.

should i use that




or go with the old one

Hey Aixx, I just have a question about farming Shaped Spider Forest. I am using your guide, but was wondering how do I use 1 white and 2 yellow sextants? Im finding it wont let me because of Map tier (too high for white and yellow). What am I doing wrong?

As always - Thanks again :-)

You need to use the sextants on adjacent maps. Spider lair map, mud geyser and thicket I believe

Can anyone tell me wich setup should i put in my helm, what upgrades to do next, and what should i change? Currently lvl 74 with 8.3k ES, around 50k dps with flasks fully buffed.

Hey Coatesy, thank you :) I would recommend to get your last jewel socket next and get rare jewels with resists on them. Then you can get a belt with Int.

Hey gokturkh, I would sell the claw with culling strike and use the other one for more int. Bosses will die very fast anyway and more ES and damage (leech) is safer.

Hey Rohac96, a crystal belt would be a nice upgrade, rings with more int and atleast 300 accuracy (combined) are important too. You can also try to get gloves with more ES and attack speed :) and of course level your gems.

Orb of Storms, Curse on Hit, Conductivity, Ancestral Portector are nice gems for your last 4socket setup.

Hi Aixx and Coatsey thanks for explaining! Clearly I need to do some research on how to use sextants lol. I just thought they worked like chisels but more powerful! Noob!!

Hey guys, this is a little off topic .. but I get great advice here :-)

The guy who sold me this chest was really helpful and gave me some advice. He said that if I divine it, the possible int and ES ranges are 740-820 for ES and 41-50 for int. So therefore its def worth doing as I cant end up with lower than 740 ES and 41 Int, with plenty of upside if I invest a few divines? Is that definitely the case?

Also, is it worth first chucking an Ex on it as well? (I would block a bad mod first using the craft slot).



Thanks again guys

He lied about the Int for sure. The ranges are 38-42, 43-50, and 51-55. you are in the 38-42 range so only room for 1 more there. Your flat ES is about topped out as well with the max being 135 for that piece. The % is a little harder since it has a hybrid mod on it. There is a small possibility you got the low roll on hybrid and T1 % ES which would put your cap at 155%. Much more likely though is it's got T2 % ES which then tops you out at 143%. All and all divine at your own risk.

As for the Ex you know all you can really gain that is worthwhile is a res so if you're flush with EX and need more res go for it. But then if you're flush with EX you're better off just buying a better chest.

Hi Aixx!
I finished challenges in this league and want to farm maps for currency to buy my first Headhunter )) How i can increase MF to this build? Is it possible to make MF-version?

Now i have this:



What should i improve first?

And one more question. What do you think about using Enlighten 4lvl + our auras + Purity of elements? It will grants us more variations to improve our rings and belt by attacking and ES mods instead of resists. And i really want to change bandit quest from passive to +10 resists for same reason.
