First of all:

Great built.

Played the game till act 10 with this build and zipping around super fast with BF is super fun.

I'm not saying you were trying to deceive or anything, TS. Not at all.

Reading through about 50 % of the pages in this thread you realize, that you are heavily trading, very experienced in terms of crafting, selling, buying and you know how to get items, how to craft and all of that.

For somebody like you it might be easy to actually get a char with such equipment running for below 5 ex. Possibly a lot more.

But for other ppl and especially on standard, you need a lot of exalts to get anywhere near this kind of equipment.

If you are a casual player and think youll get this running after a few days...haha. No.

That wont happen.

So far I paid one ex alone for belly of the beast, lycosidae shield. If you want a good life roll on belly of the beast itll be around 40 c if you are lucky and more likely around 50 c.

If you want Lycosidae with okay to good rolls youll pay 35 to 50 c.

So those two alone will be around 1 to 1,25 Ex.

If you want a claw that is roughly (most likely a little weaker) on the same level as the claw that was used in the initial post to kill shaper, youll look at a minimum of 1 ex if you are really super lucky and monitor poe trade for several days.

Apart from that youll look at 2,5 Ex.

So, we're at 3,5 Ex.

But thats not all youll definitely need.

All in all on standard, if you include 6 linking (or even forget 6 linking for the sake of argument) and high rolled life on rings, amulets and jewels in general, youll be looking at more like 6 - 10 ex minimum.

I think that should be stated in the thread cause its kinda misleading.

60 c is impossible. 10 times 60 c is more realistic and that is excluding a 6 link Belly.

A 6 link belly with that kind of equipment is around 6 - 10 ex.

I think you should alter the title name cause by reading title and the initial post you get the impression that it is actually possible to kill guardians and shaper with an actual low budget build.

This is not the case here though.

I dont feel salty cause it was fun to play this build.

The other reason was that i had roughly 3 ex and thought ill have more than enough to get some okay lategame gear for this build as it said 60 c shaper kill.

But with 3 ex i wont be anywhere near the currency ill need to actually kill endgame.

its always best to be realistic in guides.

This is quite the expensive build/class actually.

Youll need to have currency.

not for casual or low budget players after having played this build and after reading the thread.

Thats my criticism.

The explanations as to how the build works is great. And the build is a lot of fun. The presentaion is very good too.

ID change the name of the build and just say how much they will really have to pay. Preferably mention the specific league and also standard prices. Otherwise it will be misleading at best and providing false information at worst.

Thanks for the replay. I think youre right given the situation atm. Before I (and some other guide writers) tapped into the power of claw builds, most of the items where EXTREMLY cheap. I obtained most of my gear before the start of harbinger and didnt really pay much outside of the of the rings. My gear at that point was (im not lying here) around 13-15ex (not including the gems). Elemental builds werent very pupular with dark pact coming out.

Everybody was all about phys-swords and daggers!

After my guide was up for about one week the claw prices started to skyrocket really damn hard. Before a lycosidae with medium stats was up for 1 alt to 1 chance.

BUT(!!!) whats really the point is, is that the build doesnt really require such good gear. To kill most of the content you can use almost magic items (im actually planning on doing a video about that).

The builds damage is almost 70% carried by the gems and the passive tree.
