It happened to me. I spent a few days on the Anni server on my rogue stealthed near various warlock summon bots that would spam sell summons to duke hydraxis for 5g and would just open trade with whoever they summoned instantly cause their bots were slow. 9/10 the person getting summoned would...

I can't decide on what do with scorch either. The boots kind of suck, but so does running skitters just to apply scorch, and both options cost you another large flat life roll which is really hard to come by as-is. It's part of why I went with the foulborn oppressor, as having 30%+ suppress on...

I ended up with a ~4k armor/evasion with t1 suppress chest because the stuff the tree puts out this league is stupid, but I don't know how realistic a chest like this is in a normal league. Using no defense auras I run around at ~13k armor/eva based off just gear values alone which is enough to...

First thing I noticed was inconsistent ailment effect as well. It's got to just be some rng issue of which element it picks combined with low rolls on the lightning damage resulting in poor shock application. Some of amount of ailment effect someplace would help tremendously, but it's a bit...

I'm converting my slayer over to something similar currently. Gave up on the Rakiata's plan for now. It's not bad really, but it's also not good enough to justify over just using a gigantic banishing blade or some kind of 1h+shield setup, either in terms of raw damage potential or having...

You can't even search for beast mods like that so they may as well not exist

The real issue is elemental hit has terrible damage effectiveness and relies on the huge added flat damage, which makes paradoxica almost impossible to beat for raw damage. I think the inversion idea is decently strong though, you probably just need to play smite or double strike or something...

I don't think you'd need to do the southbound thing outside actual ubers. The damage on a normal setup is gonna be more than enough for mapping and probably even normal pinnacles. I agree slayer is the much easier start. I'm trying to do this with a Rakiata's right now using all 4 purities +...

Did you go slayer? I've been messing around with different ele hit setups and can't decide what ascendancy I actually want. Slayer seems like the most straight forward for sure, but I think campion with big fortify stacking is maybe better lategame.

Yea Stormshroud is about as free as full ailment avoidance has ever really been. Ancestral Vision is also really good if you're suppress cause you can combine it with a single shield/boot mod + implicit, but it is often more expensive

No way to get the avoid shock on there no, not without using recombinators and a lot of luck. Best bet is craft a thing you want then use foulborn exalt to hit a big res You can hit 100% shock avoid on a belt though if you need to with stygian + essences and a big roll on an abyssal jewel

Also remember for Tujen if you just straight buy an item for full price (any item) he won't reject any offer on the next purchase, so it lets you pretty aggressively try and lowball him on stuff for a ~50% purchase price.

This is maybe worse than Sanctum was even. You could still clear them playing lacerate or whatever, it just kinda sucked and you needed better relics to do it. It may actually just be impossible for a lot of builds in the hives.

No, if anything it gets worse. Once you get to maps spend your first 5-10 chaos on buying a few grafts that have +25% blood found - it's the only way to even stay close to enough blood to use the sacks you'll find.

I was very behind the times on this FYI. I've only ever played base holy relic and had no idea this version existed that casts at range instead of a nova on the relics themselves: So yea probably play holy relic cause it's damage is utterly absurd.
