The passives here on the guide are a bit different to what the pob tree shows linked under your video. is it because testing happened in 3.10? Which passive tree is the actual one to use? And it seems to me, that here on the guide the act 9 and 10 passive trees are the same!? Sorry if it is a dumb question but I am not the most experienced player ;) for act 9 and 10, the difference is: 1 point in "The Agnostic" and 3 points towards "Prodigal Perfection"	Posted by Kirbmon#4805 on Jun 21, 2020, 12:47:03 PM Quote this Post

I can figure for the 6 link since we need 6 blue (but with harvest, 6 blue an other base seems doable) but why the other bases ? I was wondering about the same thing. With the "change not-blue socket to blue socket" recipe being rather common on harvests, we could probably use just about any base. 12% all resists from astral plate sounds very tasty.

For me, it's at Lv 7. This should be chnage to Siosa instead of Town.	Posted by UtherSRG#3987 on Jun 21, 2020, 1:18:31 PM Quote this Post

STR and DEX requirements on the high level bases may be prohibitive?	Posted by UtherSRG#3987 on Jun 21, 2020, 1:19:36 PM Quote this Post
Yeah you're right. I thought about it a bit and 180 strength is too high after all, would need at least an additional +50 strength somewhere and then that's just trading a +36 resist ring mod for a +50 strength one and only gain a tiny amount of max hp. Might as well go for cultist robes. Last edited by Truga#1440 on Jun 21, 2020, 2:18:14 PM	Posted by Truga#1440 on Jun 21, 2020, 2:17:10 PM Quote this Post
I've been swapping over to Int/Dex gear since the requirements haven't been too high, and a bit of extra evasion on top of block seems nice since we already have a lot of mitigation from MoM/etc. Seems ok so far, but I'm a newb. :P	Posted by Reithan#1620 on Jun 21, 2020, 3:14:08 PM Quote this Post
" UtherSRG wrote: Cos I'm a noob and like things spoon fed to me sometimes, I figured to go through the tl;dr and break down the gem setup by Acts. Gems are acquired in Acts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7. After that, we're set until endgame. Act 1 Gems Fireball -> Spark -> Arc + Arcane Surge + Added Lightning Damage Orb of Storms Frostblink -> Flame Dash Clarity Act 2 Gems Arc + Arcane Surge + Added Lightning Damage Orb of Storms + Elemental Focus Flame Dash Clarity Arcane Cloak Herald of Thunder Act 3 Gems Arc + Arcane Surge -> Lightning Penetration + Added Lightning Damage -> Archmage Orb of Storms 4L with Arc or as here + Elemental Focus + Archmage + Lightning Penetration Flame Dash + Second Wind + Arcane Surge (Lv6) Clarity Arcane Cloak + Arcane Surge Herald of Thunder until Archmage Act 4-6 Gems Arc + Lightning Penetration + Archmage + Spell Echo Orb of Storms + Elemental Focus + Archmage + Lightning Penetration Flame Dash + Second Wind + Arcane Surge (Lv6) Clarity Arcane Cloak + Arcane Surge Desecrate (Lv1) after Normal Labyrinth Cast when Damage taken (Lv1) + Tempest Shield (Lv1) + Wave of Conviction (Lv1) Act 7-10 Gems Arc + Lightning Penetration + Archmage + Spell Echo Orb of Storms + Elemental Focus + Archmage + Lightning Penetration Flame Dash + Second Wind + Arcane Surge (Lv6) Clarity Arcane Cloak + Arcane Surge Desecrate (Lv1) + Bone Offering after Cruel Labyrinth + Arcanist Brand after Cruel Labyrinth Cast when Damage taken (Lv1) + Tempest Shield (Lv1) + Wave of Conviction (Lv1) In the previous builds, we pick up a golem or two in Act 4. Since I have extra blue sockets for now, I picked up the Lightning Golem. Little bit of extra cast speed never hurts, eh? I'll drop it when I need the socket for the planned gems. Wouldn't be bad to have it in the plan though, hrm?	Posted by UtherSRG#3987 on Jun 21, 2020, 3:58:31 PM Quote this Post
Helo, i read full guide, but i not find one information interesting me. If there was, i'm sorry.

Information for all new players: Somehow now all the Gems level up in town even though you never purchased it! If you want to buy the gems for this build (like desecrate) buy it from the library in act 3 or use an orb(cost more). I'm now in end of act 4 and i'm struggeling way more now than in delirium with this "Arch mage arc" build.	Posted by lumenlua#7455 on Jun 21, 2020, 4:50:39 PM Quote this Post

From the leveling guide: Get Bone Offering and Arcanist Brand, and link them together with Desecrate.	Posted by UtherSRG#3987 on Jun 21, 2020, 5:02:36 PM Quote this Post
