Two words.

Just two words.

Ancestral Warchief.

wasent you the guy who show the wormblaster build in this thread?
I know the ancestral warchief, but the wormblaster seems to be similar effective and looks much more fun

I tried out the solaris hint. But i farmed 2 hours solaris and had no 3 essence mob. so i gave it up, because i hate to farm so long time the same contend. that the reason i had give up hardcore. because there i must be so carefully that the game make no fun for me.
yesterday with the 3 death of the mob i go back from 68 to 38 experience but i am 91 and didnd need really more points. so i can try things without care.

hi, Thank you both for your fast reply , will make sure to follow your advices , i think im doing well till now (1800hp / resistances almost capd and im running 2 andvarius , sadima's touch & sundunce ) was hoping to farm some 60lvl cruel areas to get some chaos recipe to save for a better gear and especally a +3 bow , but i think i will let the farming part untill i reach merciless.
Once i get more comfortable with the crafting mechanics i will surelly come back for more advices.

should i switch the weapon or instead off frenzy? Ice shot i never used. what the benefit from that.

You may need dual curse to handle that kind of silly regen.
Vulnerability increases damage over time and temporal chains makes time pass more slowly for the mob so in a fixed time span it takes more damage. Plus wither stacking - ideally you'd run circles around the mob so that it remains sort of in the same spot so that wither can stack.

Ice shot effectively creates chilled ground under the mob, slowing its movement and other actions.

In a DPS variant of CA, you can link Ice Shot-Curse on Hit-Vulnerability (or Enfeeble or Temporal Chains)-GMP-Frenzy. You use frenzy for single target for frenzy charges - or in this case you'd alternate between frenzy and ice shot.

Continuously shocking it with Vaal Lightning Trap and/or Vessel of Vinktar, plus use of Witchfire Brew could probably burst it down - but those high regen mobs can indeed be a huge pain.

Yeah

NP - I added some more to my post above about shocking and use of flasks - that might help as well.

Thank you

Hello Serleth,

Just wanted to thank you for the detailed guide. I only have 4link +2 bow at the moment but clearing very well up until Tier 9 so far. I did not want to spend a lot of currency on the +2 bow but it was very useful with the tri-res. I am stil leveling the masters for the +3 bow crafting.

I have never played an mf character before and it's super fun. Thanks again!

Your gear looks very nice!

There are several reputable master service providers in Essence Standard/Hardcore - if you don't mind spending about 30c more, one of them can help you craft your 6-link +3 bow so that you don't have to wait for your masters to level - I usually go this route, having someone else craft my bow for a fee.

If you decide to do this, make sure that the person you trust with crafting has a feedback thread posted - read that thread to make sure he or she is reputable; alternatively, ask Serleth or some of the other posters on the thread for the name of the master service provider they used.
