[3.11] Cold BV PF Indigon ft. RF | All content done in HC! | Fast mapper, safe boss-killer

Finished crafting and divining my sceptre. I would've taken T1 cast speed but spells do double damage is what rolled first. As the other poster said you get Hatred effect deterministically by spamming Redeemer orbs on bases with full prefixes. There are multiple ways to approach it and costs vary. I crafted a prefix to fill and just slammed. Mine took 22 tries to hit T1 when the average is 10.8 so I got hosed big time.



When I was making the base I had a 50/50 chance of getting +1 all spells with T1 cast speed but I failed it. Very sad. Was going to craft trigger and go divine flesh with a shield but I'm still going strong at almost level 99 feeling pretty immortal so I haven't bothered. Just crafted some cast speed on it.

I died once to Feared from Atziri explosion on a crit/crit multi invitation but otherwise all the other invitations were smooth sailing deathless. Build kind of sucks for Maven compared to minions or ranged because of the anti-regen. Way too stressful for me.

Elevated mana recovery on chest is an amazing mod and I think it's the best mod too. I made a chest with 30% aura effect/explode and the difference in tankiness is night and day. Maybe when I hit 100 I'll switch back.

I didn't notice a difference between explode and elevated explode while mapping either. I'm sure it's a lot nicer in 100% delirious maps where monsters have high damage reduction.

@softwarnet
I can't tell but if that penetration mod is "attacks penetrate 10% cold resistance" it doesn't do anything for this build. Nevertheless getting any hatred effect + phys as extra cold combination on a clean base is a nice roll. Basically saves you 2ex on an augment phys.

Quick and dirty finished weapon assuming you're on softcore trade: Craft "cannot roll attack mods" (1ex), buy a Harvest phys slam (~2ex) to roll +1 all physical spell skill gems, craft trigger, done. There you'll have a weapon that would cost ~8ex on trade for only 3ex. Not bad at all.

I will be glad if you tell me how you do this ! And how much currency you use. :D

Here's currently the best way to get the +1spell +1phys hatred sceptre. Don't waste -+ influence on it.

1) Get a clean base (no-influence) only mod should be "+1 to Level of all Spell Skill Gems". Use split beast if needed. You can buy a base or alt spam (if you alt spam, you might as well 30% quality it and gilded fossil it).

2) Now, craft "can have up to 3 crafted mods".

3) Imprint the weapon using a craicic chimeral beast. Make sure to keep the imprint orb for now.

4) Regal orb. -> If you hit a prefix, craft another prefix and "cannot roll caster".
-> If you hit a suffix, craft 2 prefix. You also want to make sure all the prefixes / suffixes you get are cleanable via Harvest safely.

5) Use a redeemer exalted orb. If you hit T1 Hatred, GG, that's the first "hard" step. If you didn't, use the imprint to get back to step 3. (9% chance)

Repeat 3-4-5 till you get Hatred T1.

Now, clean the prefixes and suffixes. Craft "cannot roll attack modifier". Destroy the imprint orb so you won't use it by mistake !

6) Augment Physical. Twice. You'll get +1 all physical gem and phys to cold.aé

7) If you didn't get T1 Phys as extra cold ; spam remove / add phys till T1. (50% chance)

8) Craft "Prefixes cannot be changed".

9) Augment Caster.

[MAKE SURE YOU DID CRAFT PREFIX CANNOT BE CHANGED OR IT CAN BRICK WITH NEXT STEP !!!]

10) Now, spam remove / add caster till you get T1 spell double damage. (3% chance - took me 56 try)

Has anyone compared this version to the one with Disintegrator?

Man, molten shell with % increased buff effect of molten shell on indigon lab enchant is super op with granite flask. Gives you an extra 8-9k hp on demand, instant cast (or cwdt, or both), for 9 seconds on top of your life/mana pool.

I'm probably too smooth-brained to understand. I've tried looking through the original post. At what point should I be able to sustain RF? I've got most of the flask nodes including the clusters and I'm still getting tanked by it.

Any clues?

I tried it with max block and Rumi's and I get about ~20% more damage with 3 Shaper/Elder items but it's nowhere near as tanky since I gave up the 25k Armour Flask, the All Res Shield, and Divine Flesh.
(I was getting a lot of my Chaos Res from rare jewels and the Staff version uses those jewel sockets to hit block cap)

It feels great for blasting though, since Mystic Bulwark with 75% Spell Block lets me run Chainbreaker + Divergent Berserk

Has anyone tried anointing whispers of doom and using elemental weakness in a trigger wand, while having a frostbite curse on hit ring? Seems like a big dps boost

I was sustaining it at like level 60, what's the issue?
We're talking with mana flasks up, this is a pathfinder build ofc. Doesn't your mana flask give you insane regen?

We're reducing resistances by 25% with exposure, and 15% with elemental weakness. On top of this, 45% penetration from gem, 10% from ascendancy, 20% from wise oak, 15% from watcher's eye.

Do we really ned to invest in an extra cusre for like 13% reduced resistances? Sure, we'll drop cold pen for empower, but still. I don't like this much.
