This is why I love non-meta builds. You can actually find stuff on the market before somebody else snatches it.

Nice one !
Actually, I got this from my merc Lab...

I'm both happy AND DAMN SAD AND ANGRY because I got the right enchant in merc instead of Uber Lab...
I'll probably try to get a 30% one by farming with a 15% str/int Crest to make it really worth it (but later).

Anyway, I wanted a build to try killing Shaper, so I started this one, here is my stuff at lvl69

Weapon swap for single target with SR+CwC, echo+FC for clearing.

There is a shiton of improvment to be made, sadly I can't use most of my gear from previous char (belt and rings are among them though).

Quick question : is it really worth it to go for the Jewel Slot under the Scion ? Taking res from the tree has always been something I tried to avoid (because it's easy to get it on gear).
Also, mana is quite an issue when rushed by a lot of mobs, cant regen/leech enough.. :(

Edit : Actually I have enough res on my gear to use my Belly from my Frost Blades char, hence the following gem setup :


Does anyone have an idea of what combination I could use in the Belly without changing the socket colors ? (RRGGG)

I still miss witch version :'( *sob*

Well, this is my gear atm. I'm at lvl 80, and it feels much less safe than witch vesion. Like, A LOT. While damage is much higher, tho. At least, it feels like that. Any tips about what to upgrade next?



PS: Radiant scroching ray looks fabulous. Just look at this:

20% is still very nice.

Self-cast might get you in trouble in many maps/mods because of MoM. Be careful with it. It's an option but really too much work IMO.

Exactly. Just go with lv 1 SR.

I couldn't (and still can't) max my resists without it if I want the sheer buff of Kaom's and the flexibility of the swap ring. You can drop that branch and grab 2 other sockets or more life if you manage to max your resists without it. It's basically a jewel socket instead of a lot of resists. But taking that cluster is a very convenient way to go when you start in a new league and have to work your way up gradually.

If you really don't want to change colors (because you are sharing it with another char?) then maybe just put the helmet jewels into it, plus PoI for Hydra/Shaper, and re-color the helmet to something like high lv CWDT - Flame Golem - IC - Inc Duration.

Just level up. A lot of Life nodes come after lv 80. After you get 6k+ hp you'll feel a whole lot safer.

And replace that 20/20 SR with lv 1. Running out of mana (because of MoM) makes mapping with random mods very unsafe indeed.

It's nice. Although a blue version (like the Blue Incinerate) would look so much cooler with Icestorm.

I mostly use 20/20 one because of Proximity Shield mobs. SR still does a lot of damage, because of that, I thought, that it will be more usefull that way...

Yeah, it was a nice QoL feature to fry proximity shields with SR, but it's not hard without it either: cast a couple Icestorms on it and then Flame Dash to it, BOOM! :)

Thats the point of lavangia's spirit, r how the hell that flask named :D it actually gives you ability to use 20/20 SR constantly, the moment you hit it. And at it's end you already will be leeching your max speed :D I still use it mostly as a panic tool.

OMFG.

And I said in my previous post I couldnt find any and still cant.

You see.. the game is just rigged towards streamers and build creators.

Serioualy WTF.

I have also a sr with 2020 in the swap weapon.
i tried it without in the Whakawairua Tuahu map and this fucking siren is that fast that i tried 3 min to hit her and dont get her. Also the map had movement speed of mobs and inc life boss.
but with 20/20 sr it was no problem.
same as this guy in gm map.

Did today the minotaur map the first time ever and had enfeeble and inc boss life.
Learnd a lot :-)

3 death because of latency. Your guide only works with good ping. If i come into the room and cast is and the move forward the boss is under me and i am death without a chance to do something. then the same if i go the sec time into the room. but then he stands at the door and i can cast is if i come in and he gos down without problem. But if i would flamdash after culling the same. No chance to klick and dash because of high ping. so a rock killed me :-)
but hes down. and the build works also with nasty mods really really good. Only ping is my enemy. now i try phoenix. Will see.
also the map is really really valuable. Got 4 t14 maps and 7 t13.

(also till now no ex dropt and no kaoms or another good unique. Made all chaos with jewels sold a lot for 50 to 80 chaos) but still need 70 chaos to got kaoms and also not one fucking echo shrine)

So far i did the guardians, uber lab, Atziri etc.
Now i'm at the point to do Shaper uber Atziri and Grandmaster hall.

You proofed about to kill the Shaper, but what's about uber Atziri and Grandmaster hall? Don't know how to post my Equip to check of the Community if i'm able to do the 3 bossses.

PS: Sorry for my bad english.
