I told you that Delve is the most rewarding area from this game , just got this shiet from a rare chest in the mines:

I got one in Alva temple :)

Progress report:

I am level 84 now. Before I switch to CI at L69, it was pretty rough in term of survival, I died more than I can count. But once I switched to CI, & I was lucky to have 2EXs dropped before I reach level 69, allowing me to get decent gears to start. After that, my only death is in Delve, to the silly darkness thingy, & to the syndicate boss that one shot me at 7K ES the instance he showed up.
The damage spike in this game I think need work. This kinda stuff does not happen in other game but that's another discussion.

Uber lab was down at level 76. After I beat Kitava, I literally camped at Global 820 to get all the trials done & headed straight to Uber. The taps (which I dispute) hasn't been any real issue, & Izaru fights were easy. I think I down him in the final fight in under 4 sec.

As for gearing, I already got my watcher eye & Might of the Meek.
I can only afford single discipline (cost me 95c)


I looked at the other improvement, like %int Cyc.belt & Astr.Ammy & they are out of my budget.

Even base for +6% all attribute armor is not easy to find or cheap. In any case, anyone who has upgraded to shaper Armor, let me know, & I may be interested to buy your non-shaper armour.

For now, I think I just focus on getting to end level 91-93.

Hello, thanks for this great build, I am having fun playing it. But I reach a point when I am not really sure how to progress my character further. It looks like every update is expensive as hell at this point. Can someone more experience look at my gear and tell me what I should upgrade next? Every advice is appreciate. Chest is 6l by mistake, i was going for 5l. But it is really shitty one, should I scourge it and try to craft better stat for that one? Its only ilvl 82 though.

Crafted this yesterday.

Costs:
ilvl 84 shaper base = 30c (should have bought 83 base for 3c)
4 perfect fossils = 16c
2000 Alts = 220c (i got very unlucky)
40 Regal = 40c (i regaled a lot of 1 stat blues hoping to skip the whole imprint/annul part, i didnt succeed though)
25 scours = 10c
14 imprints = 728c (52c each)
13 annuls = 416c (32c each)
multimod = 2ex + 10c fee = 270c
%ES craft = 2c
%ES hybrid craft = 2c
6% attributes = 4c (shoutout to lilianmarius who crafted it for me for free)
3 divines = 30c (didnt hit 12% int yet)
230 jeweler orbs for 6S = 28c

Absolutly frustrated i then wasted all my remaining jewelers/fusings for a 6L

680 fusings = 340c (ofc i didnt get it)

Total cost:
2136c = 16,31ex

Most frustrating crafting i have ever had. I got extremly unlucky at the imprint/annul part, i was never so tilted in this game before. How many times can you miss a 1/3 chance annul in a row. Imprint beasts / annuls got much more expensive now, maybe other crafting "routes" can be cheaper. Overall this craft should not cost more than 6-7 ex on average though i think.

Thanks Lilian for the crafting work. He was very nice.

Anyway, I am wondering the point of Brute force solution jewel near the Scion start. It seems to benefit from only one strength node, or am I missing something.

Thanks, another great guide, 2 seasons ago I played with your scion fire/whispering ice now this :).

I did not try uber elder yet, don't know if my gear is sufficient now.
currently at 9.7k es will try soon.

Today 6 linked this beauty :)

ok prepared new armor


so first try - ES ...bad
now w8 for more chimeral
eh 70c+ price for them-(

Thanks for the great build.


is this flask a good option? or is this just a waste of es regen? Thank you

A noob kinda question. Have played an ARC witch several times so kinda understand that playstyle. Is this build a lot of run, stop, build WO stacks, cast Icestorm? With Arc, it feels more fluid in moving quickly, cast Arc and move fast again. Am I not seeing this correctly? Haven't got the WI staff yet, so just doing WO with Freezing Pulse, but that seems to be how this build runs.

Holy crap! 12 failed attempts to annul 1 mod out of 3?! RNGesus really hates you. My condolences.

Buy a lottery ticket. After so much bad luck you've got to get lucky.
