Dead,

Thank you for clearing my doubts about the equipment options at AG.

Can you share with us what method you chose to farm your Mageblood?

I did Blight, Essences, Heist and Altars in Strand. First 3 days of farming I did Alch and Go with essences which was okay.
Last 2 days of farming I did Gilded Blight Scarabs which skyrocketed the profits.

Everytime my Blight tab was full I did all my Blighted maps.
Took 1 rotation of x60 Blighted Maps to farm the currency. I also did some Blights during the start of the League to get starting currency.
I sold 6 Exarch Invitations and 3 Eater of Worlds Invitations(With the 10% procc node thing). So lets assume I did ~225 maps total and ~90 Blighed maps.

Sold everything else.
Lucky high budget items I got was:
x2 Enlightens
A couple of Exalted Drops (Don't know, maybe 5?)
Corrupted x1 Anomalous AG that I sold for 10 ex
x3 Pure Ex drop from a Expedition Encounter
Hit a Vicious Bite, Renewal and Feasting Fiends 8 point cluster that I sold for 3.5 ex in Harvest.

Early on when my gear was ~2 ex total during Alch and Go I failed ALOT of blights. So I swapped to Expedition and Harvest for a day. But only mustered to do ~50 maps because it was so boring. Bought some upgrades and did Blight again after. THat's when I started using Scarabs.

That's all I can remember.
Opened 1200 stacked decks. Made 110 chaos in valuable cards from them (x1 Nooks Crown, x1 Abandoned Wealth)

Hi Deadandlivin, thank you for the guide. I'm really enjoying it so far this league. I've been saving up for an ashes (I'm at 35 exalts) and was wondering if that would be the best use of currency at this point. I'm pretty infamous for forgetting to do simple stuff (I forgot to do my fourth ascendancy this league until level 92 lol). Would you mind taking a look? https://pastebin.com/8Jt3hGCw Thanks again for the guide.

I'm one of those who prefer to stop all upgrades once my build is playable and save up for big ticket items.
So personally, I would probably get an Ashes if I were you. It feels great to just get the most expensive parts of a build out of the way and this league, Ashes is super expensive so you kinda just want to pull the bandage and get it over with.

It's definitely not the most efficient way to use the currency. 40 ex could easily be spent to upgrade the rest of the build making it way stronger. But those type of upgrades are easier to farm to and once you got the big boy items out of the way you can consistently farm 1-2 upgrades per day after that instead.

do u need to keep spawning enduring cry for surviving or just the 75% do the job?
thx for answering all the dumb sh*t but damn im happy with what i got at the moment :D

Since I have free socketslots I like using Enduring Cry when on a budget. Especially when running Call to Arms on my Skin of the Lords as it makes it instant cast which allows me to numlock it and cast it on cooldown.
I'm not using it so much for the Endurance Charges, but linked to Increased Duration with all duration in the tree it makes the buff last 8 seconds, as long as the cooldown. So this means we can have permanent uptime on the buff which buffs the power of all Endurance Charges by 50%.

Instead I like Enduring Composure on a small cluster to consistently give us max Endurance Charges. For 1 extra skill point we can have 4 Endurances Charges passively for 16% phys dmg reduction This is further increased by 50% for a total of 24% with Enduring Cry.

I'm currently experimenting with a new medium cluster that I stole(No shame) from another build creator. It gives 100% increased Armour and Onslaught to us and all our minions whenever we use a Warcry which is really good.

Safe to say, with 82k Armour with the buffs going(Mageblood btw) and 44% phys dmg reduction from Frontline + Endurance Charges I'm now immune to phys pretty much. Only thing that really kills me is Elemental damage when Molten Shell is down.

Hi would you please be able to have a look at my gear? I have similar gear to your medium budget build but I have no idea why it says 22mil while your medium budget has 220 mil dps.

Thanks so much!

Sure, post your PoB

Sorry not sure how to do that but my account name is Selenity and I only have one char in sentinal?

Also I'm having alot of issues staying alive.. random one shots are very common and not sure how to increase survivability as well.

Thanks so much!

Alright, so I've been looking through your build and the difference between yours and mine is that you're missing the "skeleton" of the build, meaning the basics. Alot of modifiers aren't present.

You've got some high budget items, but unfortunately they can't carry you if you're missing the basics. You get what I'm talking about?

So this is your current PoB with the correct settings:
https://pastebin.com/97fxX9nD

You're right above 15 million Sirus DPS. (Assuming 3 Power Charges which you won't have on pure single target bosses)

This is all okay though, cause you've got all the expensive parts out of the way, so now you can focus on 10 chaos to 2 exalted upgrades and really get the build up there.

This is what I suggest you do right away to fix the base of the build:
https://pastebin.com/FsPxGsTz
Most of these changes won't cost much at all. You're just getting some new gems. The changes are:

- Brittle on Boots.
- Unset Ring for extra socket (You need it)
- Hydrosphere for Melee Splash Cleave(You're missing a huge modifier)
- Assassin's Mark (You have no curse, need it to get Power Charges for bosses, 11% chance with Ashes is consistent)
- Awakened Gems (Minion dmg, Generosity, Melee Splashes)
- Quality up all gems.
- Bonechill to Skitterbots, missing a large dps modifier
- Renewal, Vicious Bite, Raze and Pillage/Rotten Claws cluster.
- Medium cluster with Blessed Rebirth and Life from Death to save skillpoints.
- Anomalous AG for 150% increased AoE
- Swap Golems and Skellies into chest (More damage)
- Link Dash to Second Wind in gloves (Remove Flame Dash) Make sure nothing else is linked to second wind.
- Anomalous Convocation linked to Increased Duration for 100% uptime 100% minion movementspeed buff.
- DIvergent Flesh Offering for 25% extra minion attack speed
- Charisma on Amulet anoint.
- Small Skill tree changes.

Might have missed some details in the summary but study the PoB thoroughly and see all the changes made.

If you do all this it should bring you to 50 million dps and you should have the basics of the build covered. The things that will cost some money here is the Large cluster(~4 ex) and Awakened Minion dmg(~1.5 ex).
Not sure what a ring will cost but should be cheap. Make sure to cap resistances when changing gear around. Getting Brittle on Boots should be ~50 chaos.

If you get all this sorted I can help you with moving into the next stages cause you're still far away from the medium budget version.

Thanks for so much for the in detail reply! I'm afraid despite having 3k hours in the game and having great luck this league on making items I'm still pretty noob at everything...

I'm going to presume brittle means, drop brittle ground while moving implicit on boots?

I'm also not sure how hydrosphere works as a modifier either? Is that cause we walk over it with the brittle ground? Do I constantly cast this? Or just on bosses?

The assasin's mark would I be looking for a ring that grants assasin's mark on hit? Or manually cast it myself on bosses?

The rest I can definitely do! Thanks again!

edit: Made some changes, definitely feeling better! Can you also help me increase the ability to not just randomly get one shot now? Thanks so much!
