[3.x - Discontinued for now] Burning Spectres - Torch the Atlas - HC Shaper, Elder, Uber Atziri

I had a crack at HoGM again with 3 x TV / 1 WM and didn't get as far as I did with the 4 x SG's, TV's were getting oneshotted, as well as everything else! lol

1. Why do we need Tukohama's shield while we are not taking "Necromantic Aegis" in the passive node ?
2. Does the Tukohama's shield still give the damage boost for TV's totem ? ( the additional totem is not working but still wondering if the additional totem damage is working or not )

Thanks.. sorry for my broken english

1, you don't
2, no.

OP needs to update the front page.

It always seems that I am always fighting for more Dex, but I have my resistances basically capped (108/110/118) and seem to be doing well with my block chance (78/70 with Bone Offering). I would like to swap my 'Advancing Fortress' for a 'Scourge', but when I do my block chance drops to 66/64 and I don't see any easy way to move it back up. Maybe the advantage of using the Scourge outweighs the block loss, just not sure.

I know that my flasks are sort of wacked, but I am not sure what to replace them with. Also I am not sure if my HP (3.8K) and Mana (1.9K) are where they should be.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Get a Rumi's flask. then you'll hit 75/75 :) Your HP is VERY low. Mana could use work. Low level I guess? Bad gear?

Edit, i took a look. Your belt is really bad and your jewel doesnt have life on it. a roll of 30 life on gloves it has to go, ditch Skullhead for a rare or even Shaped helm and shield is really bad with a low life roll. Your jewelry has low life rolls. All this adds up. For life % in teh tree to do it's magic you want better life rolls.


Is mine. I tolerate the low life roll on the helm because shaped helms are expensive. I'll still hit 6k life by 90, but you can't use multiple pieces with no life, or low life rolls it'll hurt.

Thanks for your input, now I just need to play a balancing act and see how much block and res I can lose to beef up my life. I may be a little over caped on my res so I have some wiggle room there plus I am sure that I can do better on my jewels and some of the equipment. I guess the anvil amulet can go in the stash for a while and maybe it would be a good time to replace the Skullhead with something that I can use for getting TV's and getting some better res and life. I see the problem with the jewels, but it seems to be my only source for getting dex.

Some wisdom for newer folks...

If you look through this thread you will definitely see some elitism and strong opinions.

The biggest plus on this build is you can run it all the way through shaper on junk gear. Tabula, bones, skullhead etc... folks have been doing it since the build first came out.

Yet you will see folks in this thread insist you need this or that. Things like max spell block or you cannot do red maps. This is a steaming pile of horse shit....

TV's with some support troops are all you need. A bit slow but very safe because its slow.

So play the build the way you want and know that it will more than likely work fine... Don't listen to the elitist bullshit... All you need to know is is on page 1.

NS

Why do we take Bone and Flesh Offering? Do we just cast whatever is needed?

Im curious,

Using solarguards, Fire pen VS ele focus? has a 6linked.



I was also wondering same question about why 2 flesh? While its fun to get max block when bone is up, your losing the speed that flesh offer.... SO unless its only used to proc some healing on AG and stuff? IM not quite seeing the utility here.

Way to twist my words. Stop posting if you're gonna make shit up. I like min maxing. I never said the things I chose to do like double curse or max block are NEEDED. But they are better than not dual cursing, or not getting max block. Hard to understand? Looks like it.

How do you get max block with clear speed? Without flesh offering your sacrificing so much clear speed,and you can only have 1 offering up on you.
