6L CA can`t do normal atziri, so nice

There are only a few builds that make atziri without brain. Mostly juggernout i know.

I do Atziri with no problems with that build but i dont make her with mf.

I killed her with a 5l and now with 6l its only a bit faster.

And mostly when i die i have no brain or i am tired.

And i am not a verry experienced player like serlet or chrono.

You have to learn what to evade and for me its verry helpfoul to keep moving.

i shoot run run run run shoot run run run .....

Thats works perfectly for me. And sometimes i have no brain and run into a corner with
2 flameblasts and no evade. Then good night amigo :-)

But thats my fault. The build works verry good with atziri

With uber lab it dosent work for me because there is so much physical dmg and
i die mostly of the spikes. or if i dont evade itzaro.

But all in all its the best money making build i ever played.

I ran 50 Uber labs and died twice, both due to silly mistakes. It does require a swap to survival gear.

Year But you are a verry experienced player. For a noob like me its a pain.

And i bought a carry and the juggernaud guy who carry me makes things much more easier and
had no problems with anything. I had with his carry problems with spikes and regen either with stone golem. Uber lab is a pain for me.

But the rest of the game (uber atziri i never tried) is verry easy. also the twin boss challenge the 8 mod maps (there I carry people because of ele reflect and physical reflect :-)))

What can you advice for the 48 flashback event. I would try a juggernaud build but perhaps there is a better build i dont know. Have you guys a advice?

Thanks a lot.

(it must forgive small mistakes because i hat to die 10 or 12 times and try again)

It would be fine if i can reach malachai this time. That would make me happy.

Yeah, my remark re: Uber Izaro was more to say "it can be done," than anything else.

Uber Atziri isn't possible with the way the build is currently structured. It would require a rework on the tree to pick up Arrow Dancing, finish off Phase Acro, and a lot of other gear investments. Or if it is possible, it's sure as hell not easy.

I don't race, at all. I can't provide advice for you there, sorry.

Well, we're gonna have a LOOOOOOOT of fun with the new map system.

=D

Done uber izaro with that gear (its cheap i guess, expect drillneck). I'd 0 iir/iiq, but for loot +2 ascendancy points its good, nothing more.



Other links are:
- cwdt+ic+id+rc on gloves;
- grace+blasphemy+enfeeble(swap for boss)+poacher mark(usually use it) on boots;
- spell totem+wither+blink arrow.

I think that gear can be improved, but it was my first kill for points and i dont want now to do this :)
If anyone want post uber izaro farm-gear i'll be thankfully for this.

My uber gear doesn't change at all, other than I drop Andvarius and Goldwyrm for life rings and 30% MS / high life boots.

What's IIR?..

And btw, you think 24k chaos damage is decent damage compared to insane 100-400k+ you can get with normal bow builds? Am I missing something?

I built a CA witch, I have 11k damage. Which is abysmal, she takes forever to kill bosses. If I could afford +3 on a 6L Maraketh with lvl 21 CA and lvl 4 Empower, maaaaybe I could get a bit better damage.

But the price for those is immense, 5-10 exalts each item, so a 20-30 ex in total?.. If I could at least reach lvl 8 Catarina and lvl 7 Tora and craft the bow myself, that would be cool. But it will not happen in this age of this world.. would take longer than the lifetime of the universe, or in any case, significantly longer than me playing this game.

* Increased Item Rarity

* Top-tier clear speed builds destroy this one. But the majority of "good" builds hover around a 2:30 Gorge clear speed time. This one does it in about 3:00. Given that it's an MF build, it definitely holds its own for damage once you complete it. It won't compete at the highest level for clear speed, but it's more about farming than it is damage. Bosses drop fairly fast as well once you throw VLT and Wither totem down with the Vuln curse, and the benefit of Scion's Occultist.

Also, running CA from Witch isn't optimal.

* The build pays for itself in short order. I'm guessing you play in Standard, which means that setting up starting portion of the build itself will be relatively cheap for you. You can pick up 19% Goldwyrms for ~15-30 chaos, and mid-tier Andvarius rings for ~25c, a 5L +2 bow for 1c, a level 20 CA gem for 5-7c and a level 3 corrupted Empower for 5c.

So, your startup cost is, at the high end, ~100 chaos. At which point you should have 19 IIQ / 250 IIR, meaning you'll be farming roughly 0.3ex/hr.

A 6L +3 bow (you don't need Maraketh) will run you about 9ex, and improve your farming to around 0.4ex/hr or so. From there you can either choose to corrupt your own 21/20 CA gem and level 4 Empower, or buy them. You could even get away with a 21/0% CA for 1-2ex and be fine. That's in fact what I did for Prophecy league. You don't strictly *need* the 20% quality, thanks to the additional arrow, nor a level 4 Empower. They're more QoL than anything, to help make tankier fights go faster.

So, the non-minmaxed version of the build (21/0 and level 3 Empower) will run you roughly 10-11ex, or 30 hours playtime.

30 hours is nothing. I'm guessing since you've played since Feb 2012 (I've peeked your profile), you've sunk WAY more than that into the game.

It took me roughly 3 weeks to afford these (I took time off to sink in full 8 hour days at the start of Prophecy, mind you)



Net value of those items at the time of purchase was ~50ex total. Took me roughly 150 hours. And I still have 10-15ex in my Prophecy bank, and literally THREW money at some of my friends to help them out. Probably spent about 20ex or so on my friends.

In other words, while you think things that cost 20-30ex are expensive now, this build almost trivializes that. All it takes is time, and you'll be able to afford anything you want at a pace of roughly 0.35-0.4ex/hr at current Standard league exchange rates.

To give you a broader perspective, I've been MFing since around Ambush/Invasion, so a little over two years now. My net worth across all my characters is probably somewhere between 1300-1500ex. And I only play the game for about 3-4 months out of the year.
