" It wasn't my goal :) It can be confusing "for spells" = "for attacks" ? Then I realise there is no "for spells" on other gear then weapons, just "for attacks". And your answer nailed it, ty :) Last edited by morgoroth on Aug 18, 2017, 2:48:46 AM

I managed to buy a jewel with 53% inc damage for 20c yesterday.
15% inc totem damage 10% inc DoT 12%inc totem life 16% inc burning damage just bragging :P | |
|
That's ace man. Me, I bought a mediocre 1c glove with some dexterity and res, so I could at least switch off the +dex points.
I did find a mace with 30% ele dmg, 49 % fire dmg and 29% increased burning dmg, so I won't complain. | |

Updated/added two sections. About Elemental Equilibrium and Gearchecks (i won´t do anymore). Gearchecks take so much time for me and this section should help doing your own. Maybe i add one excample gearcheck over time.
Elemental Equilibrium Special Section
" -wiki This means, as long as we use Ancestral Bond we NEED a trap or mine with cold or lightning damage to debuff the enemy with -50% fire resistance. If we DON`T use Ancestral Bond, because we have additional totems with Soulmantle or Tukohamas Fortress, every DIRECT HIT can apply the debuff. In that case no trap is needed because we use Orb of Storms that applies the debuff. DoT skills like righteous fire, searing bond or scorching ray DO NOT debuff enemys with EE since they do not hit a target. With the build i usually skill Ancestral Bond for the extra totem and screen coverage UNTIL i use SoulMantle and/or Tukohamas Fortress. Then i respecc Ancestral Bond so i dont have to use traps anymore (which can be quite annoying) Fire damage to spells like this item has has to be avoided!!! If our trap or OoS deals fire damage, elemental equilibrium will increase enemy fire resistance by 25% instead of reducing it by 50%! added Fire damage only counts for attacks. We only use shieldcharge or leapslam as a attack. Enemys gain fire resistance if we hit them with a attack skill, but it will be overwritten once we use orb of storms! With ancestral bonds it doesn´t matter since our attack doesnt deal damage anyway. So it´s not that bad to have this stat on the gear, but if you can avoid it ... do it.
Gearchecks
I won't do any personal gearchecks. You can whisper me ingame, pm me in the forum or write here, i will ignore it. This stuff takes way too much time for me. But i will help you in this section how to check your own gear! I assume you use 2x kikazaru and soulmantle and defeated the act 10 boss for the last resistance penalty. You got survivablity problems? Check you gear first. Resistances. You need with a soulmantlesetup 91 fire and 90 cold/lightning resistance. Balance your equipment around that. Using a few jewels with double or all resistance helps a lot until your gear gets better! Chaos damage is not that dangerous at the beginning of maps, but you want at least one item with 20-30% in t9+ maps. Life Get life on every item that is not a soulmantle or kikazaru. 50 life per slot at the start of maps are ok, over time you want to upgrade that to higher life rolls. Strength also grants a good chunk of life, but competes with resistance rolls. Flasks!!! This is most of the time overlooked. Well rolled flasks are even more important than the gear... and cheap! Cover your weaknesses with flasks (like low chaos resist with a amethyst flask) and increase the physical defence via granite/basalt flasks. Even a bismuth flask with elemental resistance roll on top can carry your garbage gear ;) Just use them everytime you encounter a pack of monsters and you will notice a big defensive boost! Also don't forget to 20% WHITE flasks before crafting them, this increases the duration of your utility flasks. More about them in the flask spoiler inside of the gear section. I cannot stress enough how important flasks are! Offence You struggle with the dmg a lot? The first thing is: Check if you have any fire dmg to spells on your weapon. This would increase enemy resistance via elemental equilibrium instead of reducing it. If you don´t use a soulmantle yet keep in mind that spelltotem levels are very important! Besides that the maindmg after the passive points on the skilltree and a weapon comes from Jewels 2-3 damage mods on jewels are preferable (see jewel section). Besides that gemlevels matter and links. a 4 link Soulmantle was enough for me until ~tier 10 maps, until t15 a 5link is prefered and a 6link for guardians and shaper. Those can be done without a 6link, but higher damage makes those fights WAY EASIER https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi-NL9JevOxF-6W3n-a7o-w My Youtube channel with builds, unique and mechanic discussions etc Last edited by Milkyslice on Aug 18, 2017, 7:54:09 AM

" That sounds like fun. I was itching to try out Cyclone skill out. Excellent idea. Thanks for answering my question..... | |
" In my signature is a link where i will post the progress of other builds i play like the melee dude. Won't write a guide about that or anything, just skilltree, gear, jewels and some explanations why i picked something or other thought. Just a quick writeup for those that are interested. maybe some video here and there too. The build will have a pretty generic tree and some unique touches to it, like using chance to shock on every jewel past lvl 67. Like i said, very universal with the attackgem choice as long as it has no elemental conversion (because starforge). i will start with a 5l starforge and some 5l/6l chest (for singletarget), but ultimately wanna use 2x 6l starforge and kaoms heart... so not cheap :p Further discussions if someones interested in the thread in my signature or this thread gets messy af :p https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi-NL9JevOxF-6W3n-a7o-w

i have an IDEA
vaal haste work on RF totems? if work i replace useles at end game stone golem (on weak mobs i dont need more heal on boss stone golem die too quick) and take vaal haste 9-10 lvl ( 9-10 lvl need dex 109-113 ) this way we have only +11% move speed but we have 28% atack skill for why use move skills and +27% cast speed for fast place totems and if vaal haste work on totems we have totemic zeal via vaal haste fast totem placement and totems fast cast RF and second why we use sulphur flask? +40% demage work? or only for consecrate ground for fast healing?

" vaal haste after the duration nerf only works well on really fast clearing builds. I would rather use Vaal Grace which has a longer duration and basically a better effect than a rumi flask has. ofc sulphurs dmg bonus applies. It has 3 uses without charge modifier (for a high uptime to remove debuffs or gain armour% etc) and 40% dmg like a perfect witchfirebrew. The heal is pretty bad because i rarely stay on the same spot and the aoe is pretty small, but can help facetanking some weaker bosses if you're lazy ;) Is it good for just 40% dmg and 3 flaskuses? personal preference. a defensive flask instead or a witchfire brew to passively curse without using oos (quality of life for mapping) work just fine or even better, depending on your goal https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi-NL9JevOxF-6W3n-a7o-w

Do you still use the Kikazaru rings if you take Blood Magic?
