It's been detailed in these comments how important the IIQ being perfect (or near so) on Goldwyrm's is, especially as your maps get good. Then why don't we run Sadima's as well? Max rarity on gloves (not Auresize) is like 28% or something, and the extra IIQ on Sadima should bring our IIQ/IIR ratio closer to what we want it to be right? OR am I TOTALLY missing it? (highly possible)

Also, was it decided Aurseize were now a good glove option after 2.0?


I think you do want to run Sadima's, especially in a temp league without IIQ gem, but you can't run it without having amazing res rolls on all of the rest of your gear and jewels. The finished build will be running 2x Andy's (-40 allres), Goldwyrm (50 fire), Drillneck (0), and Carcass (12 allres). The only places to get res are now a helm, belt, amulet, bow, gloves, jewels, and tree. Even if you manage to fill out your res, you're missing a good chunk of life from using Sadima's as well. If you have good enough rolls on everything else that you don't need res or life from your gloves, then Sadima's will offer you more than rare gloves, but until that point you're going to struggle to get your stats up to par.


This, basically. Well put.

Make sure you pick up all the regen nodes (Heart of Oak, Master of the Arena, Golem's Blood).

thanks Ruricon (and Serleth). So basically pre 2nd Andy + Drillneck my resists are easy enough to maintain that Sadima's is still great to use.

Yep. I'm currently running 2x Andys, Goldwyrm, and Sadima's, and capped on res without a problem. I'll have to swap it out for some rare gloves once I get around to buying a Drillneck though, as my helm and amulet are quite awful.

Playing mostly self found works great with this build. I bought a 5l white bow around lvl 50 for a few fuseings other than that all my gear is self found with about 13/100 magic find and easy capped resistance.

If you don't have a drillneck the piercing nodes don't seem too important.

Hey man, build looks great and I wanna try it with the nice PA buff I heard that has come. Got a question, planning to do this build on warbands (I have no currency to get started), I will buy a 5l bow in later lvls to +2 it which is gonna remain my main wep for the league. I do not plan to run MF since it is too costly for a selffound, and no drillneck either 'cause costly. Would you mind making a tree for a self found build, just a regular version using no MF or drillneck (wondering if piercing notes are worth it without drill).


It's virtually identical. Only two changes required:

* Take out Piercing Shots, invest fully into Phase Acro
* Take out Charisma, invest into projectile damage nodes.

Done.

You dont need to waste 4 pts for phase unless you are doing atziri runs
for selffound invest those 3pts from charisma to resists that will help gearing
Squirrel is love, Squirrel is life.

Eh. Only other place to put them is life.

The only reason I had to buy (defensive) upgrades at all for my character is because I had to offset -40% resistance from Andvarius'. I was entirely self-found up to that point.

Just make sure you're leveling Haku / Elreon in order to mastercraft whatever resistance you need and you're fine.

Then the only reason you should be having trouble with degen is on desecrated ground or vulnerability maps. Just don't run blood rage for those.
