" TRL wrote: So, I don't usually post anything in forums but I felt I needed to say something. I'm currently trying to craft a +1 bow and used the porcupine card. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong but I've landed on +1 socketed gems 15 times now and annulled off +1 socketed gems 15 times. I've spent 15 annuls, obviously, but also about 3-4000 alterations at this point. I'm actually starting to just not enjoy the game because all my currency is going into the vacuum that is this bow. Anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I don't know if I'm just that unlucky or if annulls just go for that prefix for some reason but I've calculated my odds of annulling off that attribute 15 times in a row and it comes to 1 in 32,768. Am I really just that unlucky? Just to be clear of my process: 1. transmute to start process. 2. alteration spam until "paragon" +1 socketed gems 3. hit +1 socketed gems, if another affix is on it then annul to get just +1 socketed gems 4. regal then annul once more to get only +1 socketed gems (obviously no success here) Thanks for any help. Just unlucky, try rolling over 2 mods +1 gems and only regal the single mod +1 gems.	Posted by IchiMorghulis#4560 on Jul 6, 2019, 2:35:30 AM Quote this Post

Also confused about the spreading rot jewel. I have it slotted but the Path of Building tree does not have me taking any intelligence nodes within its radius.	Posted by LieutenantHodge#9359 on Jul 6, 2019, 8:33:42 AM Quote this Post
Hello, I've followed this guide and can agree to how Bane is much more smoother than Contagion. However I find ED projectile very slow and difficult to aim. For this reason I am going with 5L Soulrend with GMP. I am not sure what other gems I should use with Soulrend though and I couldn't see anything related to Soulrend in the guide. Can you help me with that? Also could it be a good idea to use GMP with ED for better chance to hit?	Posted by coskungurel#6343 on Jul 6, 2019, 8:38:26 AM Quote this Post

Using ED/Contagion you only need to hit one enemy in the area effected by contagion for the whole group to be hit.	Posted by TekTrixter#5141 on Jul 6, 2019, 9:24:32 AM Quote this Post

It's supposed to go in the slot near the start of the tree but none of the filled out trees have int nodes taken. Am I missing something? Yes - see how the flavour text says "at least 40 intelligence in radius" - this means 40 int in the radius of the jewel, irrespective of whether you've allocated the nodes or not. Jewels that require specific nodes to be allocated tend to specify as such. In this case, we just need 40 int within the radius of the jewel, but we don't actually need to spec into the nodes.

Would anyone be kind enough to advise me on upgrade priorities? I have 700c at the moment. Not enough for a 6L multi bow or a 6L perfect form, but I wondered if there are any obvious upgrades I could grab while I try to farm currency. My dot is easily good enough to speed farm white maps for alc & go, but obviously not high enough to get quickly through red maps. I know some items are sub-par (e.g. lightning damage leech on amulet), but just looking for some cheaper upgrades to increase the dot for now if possible. Thank you!
