There is no point in having a level 1 empower in your main link.

As grimjack68 already mentioned, my empower is getting +1 lvl from bow. Anyway, Kuduku already
helped
me to corrupt it.

Thanks grim, that does sound expensive =( I was expecting it to be under or equal to 3ex.


There's another way which is cheaper if you don't need the res. it's in the op


Actually, there is even more cheaper way to do it in only 2 ex. But getting resistances with it is fully luck based. You need to augment resist on your single mod +2 bow, after that regal it with second resist. Then you craft "Cannot roll attack mods" and exalt will give you +1 gems. Because master mod is the suffix, resistances is suffixes too, so only one prefix left is +1 gems.

I don't think I would change anything, to be honest. What's your life pool? Should be decent with all those items with added life...

What level are you? Tree complete? Jewels?

Not much more you can do. I'm in the same spot as you are. Get an Empower 3. Corrupt your CA to 21. Move around more :)

Edit: Oh and try out the Wither totem. It's pretty good against those hard hitting bosses that are also fast.

I'm at a loss Statusblue - all that gear is better than or at least equal to mine, you've got far more life - I'm running 3.3k. OTOH, I'm not running maps that high.

Probably going to have to wait for one of the more experienced guys with this build to chime in.

I vaguely recall folks talking about swapping out MF gear for survival gear for some stuff, but I've never made it to painful enough monsters to need that option myself. Although I do keep a set of survival gear for the labyrinth now, or at least the Izaro fights - MF doesn't help with him anyway.

Your gear looks good - could use some levels on CA - the faster stuff dies, the less it hits you.

I'd only run T13-15 maps to complete challenges or for the fun of it. If I were simply interested in MF, I'd sell all maps beyond T12. Magic find at those map levels isn't worth it - too slow and it'll cost you currency.

For example, a T15 core map sells for roughly 50c - extremely unlikely that you'd make up that amount of currency if you were to run it yourself just for MF. The same goes for T14s and to a lesser extent T13s.

Note that T12-T15 are considered "high tier"; maps in this range unlock more difficult combinations of affixes that you won't see in lower tier maps. So pay attention to the map rolls - put aside more dangerous maps until you get a 21 CA (or just sell them).

That said, if you need/want to run those maps I'd drop some magic find for life and survivability.

If you want to go whole-hog, I'd get a Lightning Coil for sure and high life rings. I might also switch to dual curse and use Ice Shot to apply curses - I'd run enfeeble plus temporal chains in really hard maps and probably enfeeble plus vulnerability otherwise. I'd only do this though if I were going to solo the twinned T15 challenge since the gear cost is very high.

Hey guys

RE: crafting, maybe a bit too late, but the 'cheap' version I always do is the following:
Spoiler

- buy 6L bow with iLvl of 64+
- Transmute to make it magic
- Alt and aug the bow, I have the understanding of what mod is prefix and what is suffix,, goal: +2 with a random suffix
- regal, goal: +2 with 2 suffixes, rare bow
- put cata 8 mod on it (or get someone to)
- use 1 exalted orb for safe +2+1 with 2 suffixes
- remove the cata 8 mod
- add leo 3 mod
.
- use exalted at discretion like I will soon, since challenges won't need any more cash

the bow is not optimal, but raw material cost is 3 ex without bow, lot cheaper than with multimod, the bow won't have 2 resistances most likely, but is far more affordeable.




RE: gear
Spoiler

wow some of you guys really min-maxed that with cool ventor rolls and such, I didn't even bother getting upgrades past some days of the league, it's not needed for my personal use :D congrats to all of you!


RE: high tier mapping
Spoiler

uh T15 won't be the most efficient to run MF, but if you can why shouldn't you eh :) I did up to T13 easily, with our totem, blinkclone + golem we can distract and take down enemies without hassle, oneshots can happen especially if you run maps unid like me :D

Wow Chrono! 38, LOL. You're lapping me! Good job once again!

hehe ty :)

was at 9/12 for enchants before starting a session of merciless labruns yesterday (target: trap, aura, curse), now I'm just missing the trap enchant. 50 runs total, average of 8 minutes (5min best one, 13min slowest).

I need to wait for a day that has no golden doors to farm that I guess.. just tedious and not really an achievement after you beat the lab 100+ times. today's lab has even two doors.. blergh

and ofcourse Zana is a stretch for guys with full-time employment + RL, but so what ^^ I'll get that lady in red to level 8 nevertheless.

whatcha missing hank? I could chip in with this or that, who knows =)





the effects are lovely indeed, worth all the trouble imo! the sound effect of the perandus portal, right when you start a map, is breath-taking!
