90+ leveling tips for those who die a lot

Currently I play Ranger and so far managed to level to 93. Deadeye has always been squishy, but with all these buffs and metamorphs...

So these are a few ideas I came up to level up after level ~88-90 for those who die so much that a usual progression is no longer an option.

Your ideas are also welcome.

1. Running low-tier maps is bad. Too much time - too little exp.

2. Alva. I make 3 white missions for her, then a yellow map I know I can do deathless. And then clear the whole temple on the level of that map. Note that I have 25+ Chaos res.

3. Delve is you friend. First you need to get as much fuel capacity as you can. Then get a full load. And then just run delve horizontally on the depth you find reasonable for you build. For me it is around 120 - I know I don't die here. Try to clear as many side-rooms as possible. For me a full load can give around 50-60% XP needed.

4. Make "leveling up" a task. First you prepare for it (get full fuel), then you go for it and you don't do anything else until you have finished the task! Especially forget metamorphs.

For example how I leveled up 92-93
- Run high-tier maps till I get a full load of fuel. Died a lot, so finished at around 10% above level.
- Go Alva's a few times up to around 35%
- Went Delve with a little pause to replenish some fuel in T5 maps (still had a few missions there). Run out of fuel at 90% xP
- T6 Burials untill it is done (think twice before touching the MM)

Came to this thread with high hopes based on the headline, but besides the first two topics (which i read as: low tiers are bad but you have to do them anyway) my tldr of this thread is: go delve, because there are no MM inside.

I need to pay more attention, man. Two deaths today - one from a frost nova chest with - resistances and the other from a homing fireball.........with -resistances again.

Chaos resistance is your friend.

I know a lot of folks usually skip it, or have it still in the negatives, or just occasionally pop a flask. Not this league. Make room in your gear to get as close to cap, if not cap, if at all possible.

great tips, not a single mention about mapmods or their effects on metamorphs or even T8 Atlas.

So delve is good exp? When does it start giving good exp compared to maps?

Genuine question here. I don't really like delve, the neon colors hurt my eyes.. xD

I could be like lvl 95-96 right now, but I keep trying to kill powerful crits/explosive/kamehameha/susanoo sharingan metamorphs on tier 16 maps when I'm about to lvl up.

my /deaths log is not something I'm proud of.

If you die a lot in maps at 90+ I struggle to believe that you won't die a lot in delve cruising in the monster level 83's :/

Tbh if you don't then you can already isolate your problem, you don't pay enough attention to the mods rolled on your maps.

Also to ^ delve is better XP than most maps at the relevant depth you just run out of sulphite, I tend to go until I get to T15/16 equivalent then just go sideways from there. Its also a fantastic source of said maps if you find city ruins at that depth or beyond.

My char is really tanky, I'm just a bad player and stubborn. Instead of leaving the super metamorph alone and roll another map I just go in and try to kill it :P

I don't really need more levels anyway, just 1 more for +1 end charge and I'm happy with the char

Personally I think thats exactly how you should play on SC :p fight the most challenging content you can and try to come out on top

I'd suspect the level of the monsters in delve will bypass t16 maps eventually as it essentally goes on forever. Save up some niko dailies on atlas for a easy way to fill your fuel. and jack that fuel as high as you can as it seems each niko quest in maps at least seem to fill a percentage of it.
