Now that's a nice helmet! Use beastcrafting to reroll to 8% cheaply and use it. You can also get 28% quality on it via Hillock. (Next time, use perfect fossils on the base to get it to 29%-30% first.)

Use that helmet for now, and you can either craft another one for the extra 2% int, or use Maven orbs in a way I still don't understand to get even more % int.

But you did not fail. That is an excellent helmet.

Can you show your gear for this league? This is the first time I've tried doing it and I'm getting gems set up now. There is the long list and some of it is explained but can you just get a brief explanation of what you think is optimal?

3k int. Yes! Also my resists are in perfect condition. Nice!

What do I need to kill Сatarina easily? Overlord for reducing phys damage through fortify?

Killed Catarina earlier with 2.8k int. Did not have foritfy or any specific phys damage reduction (apart from cwdt IC). Died 1 time to not paying attention to the wave thingy. at 3k int, you shouldnt have any problems against catarina even without any specific phys damage reduction. Good luck !

First Catharina is a undying bitch :-)

I have only 2,6 k int and 11 k es and have normaly no problem to kill her at lvl83 confartably (sold the kills but now the market is gone)

BUT

Sometimes i cant see the small following skeletons and if they explode its normaly a death. (i survived only one or two with luck in over 200 all leagues i killed Catharina)

sometimes i go into the false direktion and die as i have the choise to run throught the activated pylon (makes dmg and with no leech i am dead) or run throught the exploding skeletons and die.

So its all about standing in the right place when she makes her actions.

Mostly i die as i oversee something on the ground or i am to lazy.

I dont think that overlord or fortify will solve this problem as i had this in last league and even in standard with 3,5 k int and 22 k es i died in case of lazyness from the exploding skeletons.

Nearly level 91, been floating around 1.7k int (7.3k ES) and farming T9-11 maps to build up some currency. Got a decent amount now, and trying to decide what my immediate upgrade should be. Start working on gear with %increased int, or focus crafting/buying cluster jewels first?

I can clear maps a little higher, but they're too slow to be all that effective, so I hang out down in T9-11, for decent clear speeds.

No offense intended, but your int and ES are abysmally low for being level 91.

This build is ALL about int.

Look at my character for ideas -- my total expenditure for my current gear was less than 70 chaos. I'm at 2200 int and 8675 ES myself with my crappy gear -- at level 88.

It took 5 fails in a row, but finally on the 6th attempt, RNG took mercy and I ended up with this:



For those struggling to get INT past 2200-2500, I wouldn't actually start with the chest if you don't have one yet, start with the helmet. While the Hunter's Orb is pricier, as long as the helm is iLvl 75-79 you're guaranteed to get the +%INT roll if all prefix slots are occupied.

Between the helmet and chest both having +%INT, I'm finally up to 2.8K INT and the dmg is starting to smooth things out. Hitting level 95 also let me get another jewel slot, where I put a Watcher's Eye with +ES on Hit in it for 6ex.

This let me switch Ethereal Feast on my boots to Whispers of Doom, and the 3rd curse and 2.8K INT makes a huge difference in dmg. I went up about 60k per hit on Icestorm with these changes.

Good luck with your rolls. If you keep at it, you will eventually get there.

If you want to play after the story is finished, choose:
-build which is checked by the tutor and gamers
-read the guide. It irritates how others write on the last page and you go back to the first page, but it works.
-Rar items will bring you much more effect, instead of the unique items you wear
-yt has guides on how to earn heist in the early stages of the game to make the jump from story to atlas.

this build is disgustingly optimized, it can be enriched and enriched ... just have fun with each stage as long as this game still enjoys anyone else.

Advanced question: is there another way to craft gloves with increased intelligence, in addition to the essence of spite?
