I have about 10 ex of resources. Any tips what would be best to upgrade on my character? Currently doing yellow maps mostly, have no trouble whatsoever.

Level 92, just finished the Atlas and killed shaper, everything has been rather simple so far, but I am afraid of the new uber elder fight, here is my gear so far, saving up for a chaos impresence.

Is Discipline really worth it?
Wouldn't an additional layer of defense like Artic Armor be better? |
|
" Flesh & Stone is amazing. I'm running Sand stance full time and alternating either Discipline or Malevolence depending on if I want more DPS or more survive-ability for a given situation. Mostly running Flesh & Stone / Malevolence at the moment though. The 50% reserve on Discipline is harsh. Last edited by Evernothing#0584 on Jun 18, 2019, 3:29:21 PM

" I'm running Flesh and Stone, Malevolence and Discipline. I'd really like to cut Discipline for something more impactful on defenses, like Arctic Armor, but I'm open for suggestions. |
|
" You can always run Perfect Form - free AA + free Phase Acro. |
|
" The thing is, I'm already running out of gem slots, so something "free" isn't an incentive. I have rooom for around 3 mana reserving auras/spells. Also the defenses on the Perfect Form don't look that good. How much does that "uncapped resistance" thing add? |
|
|
Does anyone have any tips for getting the off-color slots on a Perfect Form chest? I'm hoping to get 3 blue, 2 green and 1 red. I don't have my Syndicate set up yet to the point where I can run a Vorici Research safehouse for the white gem slots.
Am I best off my crafting the "At Least 3 Blue Sockets" mod and hoping I get one of the remaining three sockets as a red? |
|
" For this I did the 1 blue craft on the bench, its the best choice according the vorici calculator, took about 500 chromes. |

" Whatever your uncapped cold resistance is. For instance, I'm currently at 105% cold res (after -30% the reduction from the chest). That means my evasion rating is increased by 105%. I don't have the best stats at the moment, but while wearing the chest I have 2700ish ES and over 11K evasion. If I remove the chest, I drop to 2K ES and 4K evasion. If I put on Hyrri's Ire (with the max evaszion roll) I'm at almost 12K evasion (300 away), and over 3K ES. Respectable? Sure. But I lose free Phase Acrobatics and I actually do have room in my build for arctic armor + 3 other auras - so for me, it works. It's also worth mentioning going with Hyrri's Ire drops my life from 5K to 4600, which is basically the difference in ES. Also, I have no use for the cold damage/chill stats, so it's not that impressive to me. Now, if I put on Atziri's Splendor (pure evasion) my evasion drops to 9K, but my ES stays at over 3K. The evasion + ES version boosts my ES to 3800, but my evasion drops to 7100. All-in-all, I personally feel that The Perfect Form is BiS, when you consider not only the defenses, but its value. A "free" aura (at the cost of a socket) and a free Keystone passive are kinda tough to beat IMO, especially when the difference in global defense is marginal. EDIT: My total uncapped cold res is 119%. My bad. Last edited by wrathchild619#2119 on Jun 18, 2019, 6:06:43 PM
