Should I get Replica Wings immediately when I can, or is there some prerequisites I should have before buying it? I have Sinvicta's at the moment.

Same question to all the other "Red mapping unique set" items. Should I just buy any of them as soon as I can?

Really fun build by the way!


Yes, you should. No pre-reqs, but it is required for Dual-Wielding Block when you switch to Gladiator, which I recommend.

Everything is pretty cheap, nothing costs more than a few div, so you just get it/use it when you can.

Thanks! Glad you like :)

Thanks for the guide man! gave me lotssss of fun.

Btw, any idea how to be more tanky? I was one shot in the goddess lair but or even at low tier map like t8 or below lol.

I am following very closely to your build or its a matter of level difference?

Glad to hear you're having fun.

Your character looks good, but yes, lvl 88 is very low level still and you can get 1-shot by mobs like Izaro.

Just keep working on your toon, but also gotta be aware that Block is RNG, and sometimes it will just roll bad, you won't block and without a ton of life (unique items don't provide much life) or Armour (maybe Flask is down) you'll just die.

Gotta keep in mind this is a VERY CHEAP build, and most super tanky builds use very expensive Rare items to get 100% Spell Suppression + tons of Life/Armour/Evasion and/or Phys Dmg Taken As Elemental, +Grace, +Determination.

While this build is more a "kill before I get killed"/"bare minimum to get by defenses". Even so, I tested and you can definitely run T17s with this, if you're a skilled player. I am not that skilled, so I avoid that cancerous content, but you can certainly do it.

Anyway, if your aim is to get levels quickly, then I suggest doing T16 Coward's Trial ROTAs from /global 820 (Cheap), or paying for 5-Way Hosting from /trade 820 or TFT discord (Expensive).

If you want to somewhat safely level actually playing the game, then just roll your maps Magic with easy mods instead of Rare with rippy mods.

EDIT:

Your helmet needs to be "90%" not "80%".

You need "Whispers of Doom" on your Gloves.

You need to 3L your boots. You can't have Berserk linked to Automation; while it does work, it will just use up your Rage constantly; you want to self-cast Berserk when you need/want a boost of DPS.

You have a 10 Dex node next to Entrench; move that to Versatility.

You NEED the Bleed Immunity Mastery; not having that = Death!

Try to get 10% Instant Leech Mastery ASAP; that saves you a lot.

Note that a vuln on hit Breathstealer IS in fact a couple of divs right now, so as a super budget option you can use Profane Proxy to have one skitterbot apply the curse instead.
You can also get a different unique or rare gloves with the vuln corruption, even plus some attack speed and reses like Breathstealer has, for under 20c pretty easily.

Gotta say the spores are goofier than I expected, though. Something I recommend everyone experiencing at least once.
Why Rampage don't follow up when I swich form Sinvicta's to Replica's wings ?

Unfortunately, they changed how Rampage works and swapping Sinvicta's is no longer an option.

Really uncool of GGG to do that IMHO...

You can farm 3div in Delve doing double-chaos recipe very quickly!
