To link an item in these forums is easy.

While typing your response, go to the top of the page and click on your character. You can then access anything on your character or in your stash to link here.

To link, simply cntl-click the item you want to link and then close that window and when you come back to finish your post, the item will be linked.

You don't even need to ctrl-click, just click. :)

Mana.

What would it cost to get this clearing t16s and to be able to kill a8 Sirus? I’m debating on transferring from SSF and trying this build

I got one question.

How about awakened gems? i got some currency to spend and already switched to
- AW controlled destruction
- AW ele focus
- AW lightning pen
- AW Unleashed

is it worth the nearly 10 ex for AW spell cascade?
and how about the AW increased aoe for the sigil setup?


Anyway, even with my ~15 ex investment i killed maven deathless.
i guess this build will be on the "reworked" list for next league lol :D

The discord goes in depth about which alt qual/awk gems you should prio

build was made with hcssf in mind, so endgame content is completely doable on SSF gear.

I’m just limited on time. I had some extra spare time this weekend(about 15hrs compared to my 1hr each night) and only happened to drop 3 porcupine cards

Well my brain is shot. I thought I was replying to a completely different post 😂😂

For the tankiest end game setup, clarity setup is the best? What if I want the lowest budget setup for end game to start off end game? How far can mid game build take me?

Mid game gear can take you all the way through completing your atlas with corrupt rare t16 maps. I didn't start to run into problems until t14+ Ultimatums - and even those were pretty safe until I hit wave five or so.

To be honest, the biggest challenge with this build was re-learning how to play. The playstyle is very different from most builds, where you spam skills non-stop until everything is dead. This is a much slower, more deliberate style. Don't let that fool you into thinking it's slow to clear, by any stretch, though. Map clearing the thing to get used to is you'll drop BF/BB on a pack and move on, and you need to listen for the loot drops because stuff will drop way offscreen behind you. And you don't always get every critter in a pack, but a few lingering remnants don't matter.

On bosses, same kind of deal, you don't spam your spells, you plan where you're going to be, drop your sigil, check your fortify, endurance charges, mana, then hit BF/BB when everything is perfect. Follow that up with a couple more casts without moving - or teleporting - and Intensify boost your DPS with each cast by a massive amount.

I haven't tried the clarity setup, and I'm missing mana enchant on boots still, and I rarely have mana problems, so... /me shrugs.
