What about the clear speed for the timeless conflit? how many lines of rewards do you average?

I could have gotten multiple lines if I didn't kill any of the generals, it's a little slow killing those on the 5 emblem Timeless Conflict. I've only done it twice though

Why is it necessary to use a claw? Can we not use Arakaali's fang instead? More minions, more damage!

You're going to run out of mana and probably die without the life gain on hit

Attacks per second is an important key to the build. Cyclone cuts damage but boosts attacks per second. Claws (along with thrusting one handed sword) are the fastest attacks per second in the game.

Attacks per Second helps
1. get virulence to 40 ASAP and keep it at 40
2. gain life per hit is much better the faster the attack

This is just a general answer. That being said, I don't really know which is better. The best way to tell is to try it out.

Like others already said, regen and virulence stacks.

Please do try if you can make it work, it could be pretty great damage wise. I don't really see it happening though, since you will lose basically all your life on hit, mana on hit and your attacks per second will be way way way less, making it much harder to get virulence stacks up.

Any protips on farming a Coming Calamity or is chancing on Destroyer Regalia my best bet?

Playing on a small private league is why I ask.

I don't think there is any better way, it's totally random drop. I guess you could try to reduce your mana reservation a bit to get both heralds running to get started with, while waiting for Coming Calamity?

Still a bit risky if it's just a small private league, might take a while before anyone finds it.

It's not that hard to get 3 greens in the Calamity, it will take some chromes though. :)

Don't even waste those, use the jeweler method on the crafting bench (get two sockets, make them both green, use the bench to make 3 sockets and if the third isn't green, go back to two. repeat until the third is green. the original two green won't change their color. when you make a fourth socket it's probably going to be blue)

I'm also missing Immortal call, but I've hardly died so I would rather use flame dash for now

Doesn't work with a 5-link calamity. For some reason i was lucky as hell getting 3 greens with a few chroms i had left. I bought the 5-link prophecy for 20c.


Currently level 81 in lower yellow maps. It's a good build. Really hate the eternal lab trials. I'm on two out of six so far. So no eternal lab guardian passives yet.



No one has endeavoured to max out minion res? I am contemplating doing just that. Should be able to drop minion life on the holy relic then.
All minions have a base 40% elemental resistance.


Alteration craft. An upgrade to my current one.

Nice, didn't even think about alt crafting that. Would've been upgrade for me as well before I bought a rare one for 65c.

Seeing alot of talk about needing mana on hit to keep cyclone up, but with -7 mana cost to skills on ring cyclone costs 0 mana.

That's a great idea. I think many people are/were referring to cyclone before it was revamped. Cyclone has a 5 mana cost when challeling for me with a 5l.

The -mana cost is great. I have a ring with -7 cost, now a 4 linked cyclone according to build is 0 mana. I litteraly just move with cyclone.

So I want to try a different claw. Is The Scourge good for the build?
The bonuses that it gives to minions are great. The olny thing that scares me is the 2% damage leeched as life and not the direct life gain on hit the other claws give.

Giving the -7 mana cost ring a go too. Seems pretty nice. 0 mana cost Cyclone even after removing Righteous Decree.

Also swapped my Elder Gemini Claw out since the mana on hit is no longer necessary, much easier and cheaper to get super fast Elder Claws now.

I doubt the Scourge will work though, exactly because it gives leech, not direct LGOH.
