But this league I got lucky and got my hands on few Exalts. So can you suggest: Leveling path + uniques which are best to use before switching to CI and a bow? At the moment I basically only have a signalshot I bought for 25c (with 33% conversion) but it is not corrupted for additonal arrow. I might use some ES items from my other build so my main concern right now is a weapon. Rest i can buy for few C and upgrade later on. Also I can work with aprox. 10-12 ex, what do you suggest I should buy? I think I might get 6L bow or 5L ROTC (non-legacy) + 6L ES armor 700+. I won’t get any cool flasks, 20% gems or great jewels like energy from within with that ammount of currency spent on bow and armor. I can make some during playing and upgrade this as I go but I was wondering what’s the best path to choose so I can farm T16 maps or shaper? I saw a video that face-tanking shaper’s laser is possible with 5L ROTC but I dunno if it was legacy and if non-legacy is even worth buying. Also I didnt get one thing. We are running 2x 6L so we can use 2 skills together and not swap gems, is it ok to go 5L + 6L and still be able to do T16? So I read that its not really clear whether ROTC is a good bow anymore after nerf to 2 arrows so 5L ROTC is probably not a great option. ALso 6L is 10 ex which is basically my current budget. Again I am still leveling up but I wanna do uber atziri, guardians and shaper + uber lab so basically end game content but I dont know how powerfull this build is with 12 ex budget. thanks With 12 ex gonna be pretty rough to try to do T16 etc imo. You can easily farm T15 and other content without many issues on that budget. I put together a gear set worth probably 6-7 Ex if that even and chained Strands/Atoll/Reef until 92 where I could finally afford Skyforth. I'm gonna try Guardians maybe this week after some small upgrades so I will be using 5L LA and 6L Barrage most likely. So you think that its too little budget? so what do you think I should invest to? 6L bow and 5L armor? i can get away with around 7k CI on my current gear from my first char and thats having 550 es armor so if i can get 700+ which I can i will have enough to get 6L bow. the question is whether to get Opus or ROTC, what will give me more DPS and what I wont have to upgrade for T16 bosses. I am no good at gathering currencies and i have a build that (my 1.) that can farm up to T14 maps pretty easily so I can lvl up my archer and farm maps with the other while gathering more currency for better gear. So I am basically just now wondering about the BOW. I dont think i will get currency to get Sky's coz I am doing smth wrong and dont know how to generate currency. I see ur running low tier maps and i dont understand how u saved up for those :O pm me :)	Posted by Hollycz#4796 on Mar 13, 2017, 11:36:55 AM Quote this Post

I mean this is the same as telling a poor guy on the street "hey I figured out why you're poor, it's because you don't have money." Just because he cannot afford some of the things listed doesn't make the advice any less sound. I listed things in order of priority - he's welcome to move down the list if certain items are out of reach for the moment. We often see people asking about order of priority - while they might know that a Dying Sun is something to get, they might not realize how important it might be. Plus, how do you know he's not sitting on 10ex in his stash, not knowing what to pull the trigger on, afraid that if he invests in a 6ex item he won't be able to afford something more important? " heartedly believe that telling someone without the appropriate level of gear to "just go buy a 3-7 ex item" is poor advice, and experienced users here should be at a higher standard of help than that. This is out of line. We're taking the time to offer advice, and quite frankly telling us to adhere to a "higher standard" when we spend time inspecting his gear and tree and then type out 20+ things that he can work on to improve his build, ranging from expensive to cheap, is pretty insulting. Furthermore, he's generating currency while playing. Don't assume he'll be in poverty for a long time. Players have been messaging me in game with like 10 chaos to their name one day, only to link me a Dying Sun the next day since they ended up doing some map farming or dried lake farming. It's not that difficult to generate currency in league play. Last edited by DicemanX#7029 on Mar 13, 2017, 11:54:55 AM	Posted by DicemanX#7029 on Mar 13, 2017, 11:41:14 AM Quote this Post

I can farm shaped strand as well and sustain these but what earn you that much ? Unid chaos recipe + few lucky uniques ? Sell excessives maps ? I mean, I can sustain strands but for some reasons I don't have much map drops, my pool is always around ~15 strands, even going +20% quality, breach leaguestones + onslaught.

If ur poor as fuck chain prophecies, they are better profit than most ppl realize. The easiest way to make currency at the beginning of league is to play alot on day 1-3 and farm stuff that people need, which also requires you to have decent game knowledge. Sustaining strands and stuff isn't too important, I would not chisel them if ur hurting for currency, but ultimately the best profit isn't gonna come from chaining strands if ur not a t1 clearspeed build.

@DicemanX: I'm not saying it's bad advice, but its advice that's geared for more endgame. My preference has been TS Enchant anyways because I value the clear and the damage to bosses is already quite good. I focus more on fixing fundamental flaws because that basis is more important. Dying Sun augmenting a 4L LA in my eyes is not worth the investment for example, I tested a lot of budget setups prior to this league and so far with full time job and going out a few nights a week (AKA playing on a budget) I'd say my progression strat works -- fundamentals first. So sorry if you took offense to it. About Shaping I tend to stay away from Mud Geyser due to the boss... Just not friendly sometimes especially if you're just Alching for pack size and you get extra dmg mod, it's not worth to reroll. About Strands chaining in general, never found sustaining an issue. You get plenty of currency from just mapping and I just pick up valuable bases to sell. I do sell as much currency as I can, Regret, Fuse, Master Sextant. Early on in the league before I got off for the day I convert everything to Exalt so that the price inflation makes sure I don't lose out too much on value. If I get low or I have stones I wanna blow but not on Strands (for example I get a domination stone with +currency when touching a Shrine), I run Mesas quickly to fuel back up. Oh and I run Breach and Beyond plus any other valuable stone like Perandus, Nemesis, etc. Save Bloodlines for doing Atoll and higher. I don't really use the Onslaught one though. Beyond is great for extra loot, xp, and it's CI friendly.

I dont know where the crafting forum is, so i will ask here: What can I do to get the best odds of getting a proper roll using an exalt on these?	Posted by phocas99#6153 on Mar 13, 2017, 1:19:27 PM Quote this Post
With a double legacy reach would it be better to use inc crit gem in your barrage set up. Finding it hard to hit 70% crit with 4 power charges	Posted by Peachcakelolz#4404 on Mar 13, 2017, 1:43:06 PM Banned Quote this Post

I see ur running low tier maps and i dont understand how u saved up for those :O pm me :) So guys, what do you think? Opus 6L + 5L regalia? Or 6L ROTC + 5L regalia? So basically I need an advice how to progress with items (i can even wait 2 - 3 days before i farm at least lvl 75/80 then buy but i wanna look out for good deals, dont think prices will go down on those anymore) Bow 6L: Opus - 150% crit chance, 190 pdps, around 8 ex ROTC - 260 pdps, around 9 ex, no additonal crit chance so whats better for mapping and possible for T16 bosses? In the video he did Shaper with 5L ROTC but i guess thats legacy and that is probably a big deal. What do you suggest? Armor: Do I need 6L right now or should I get high ES 4L one and then upgrade to 6L? I assume armor is basically to get 2 skills without swapping gems. I dont mind swapping for bosses that I need to swap gems for (I assume up until t9 i can kill those with tornado shot) So I can get 6L bow, high ES armor and items + vinktar (normal) and save up for dying sun and 6L armor? and one last thing... Tornado shot or Lighting arrow? I assume LA + barrage for single target, but since I wont have 2x 6L then tornado shot is a way to go for now? really appriciate ur help guys	Posted by Hollycz#4796 on Mar 13, 2017, 1:44:11 PM Quote this Post
