Anything 70+ I alch as a general rule.

Also Pro Tip: Ctrl+Enter = reply to last person who whispered you.

I've been playing since forever and didn't know this... #imanoob

Very handy for when you're doing a map and homies want to buy your stuff and are getting antzy.

Joe here is my FB, I edited it to start from Wizard. I think its pretty accurate but its from memory. I have plenty of mana regen mostly from EB, so the points coming out of witch I dont use. You can trim the fat as you get close to an AA thats lvl 20.

That's about the break point for switching from eb to hybrid life/es though right?

I'm at like 180/sec without EB - albeit I'm running clarity + tons of aura nodes + inner focus.

Picked up the life/mregen hybrid nodes near scion.

With mom/CoD flipped on I don't even notice mana losses.

The only thing I notice is that my AA is only level 9 *shrug*

Srs is fucking amazing, its a tad slow of a start but end game you just buttfuck every single mob in-game. You can get like 50kdps per little skull. Ive made a few of them since I started and its really fun.

I'm on my fourth arc witch now and just nearly 50% chance to crit with my 5 power charges that are up nearly 100% due to volls chest. Clears the screen with a press of a button and mega fun. I have an amazing +1 +2 gem wand but you can kick ass with just a normal +1 wand or if you get into it, that helm with +1 or going 5-6 link gear. The only worry is killing yourself instantly once your about level 80 due to ele reflect or ally refoect mob packs. You press that button ajd youre fucking dead unless you have a lughtning coil ajd purity running.

My next project will be a bow/trap/puncture build. It just 1 shots every fucking unique/rare/boss. It needs a nerf , thats how fucking OP it is.

I have learned that silver / blue lines at nameds feet = Ele reflect and that the gold lines = physical.

Mostly ele from being one shot almost every night =p

I'm at the point in the game where if a beyond pack spawns and my 5k hp max resist zombies die in one shot I just alt+f4.

FYI: they can tank all the unique beyond bosses (except the abaxoth or whatever, that guy looks way too ripie to try

Sweet, thanks for that

I'm at the point in the game where if a beyond pack spawns and my 5k hp max resist zombies die in one shot I just alt+f4.
I somehow feel like it's cheesing to alt+f4 out of the game when things go south, even though I know everyone does it. That's also why I probably end up losing all of my characters in my mid-60s in merciless, because I never quit out, I try to just run/kite and it often doesn't work when things go really bad, really fast. I need to change my mindset apparently.

I literally only alt+f4 if I know there's nothing I can do to salvage the situation (mostly if I desync badly). Other times my instant hp flask reaction time usually saves the day in most cases.

My build is setup to where I'd have to be a complete idiot to die. Like if I tried to face tank an ice nova chest or something.

Here's my forum template:

Please message me ingame if something catches your eye. My IGN is {IGN}.

If you don't like a price feel free to make an offer. Don't have the currency I'm asking for? Offer me equivalent (please tell me before putting a pile of random currency).

Cheers for the help with procurement guys, it's really helpful! I'm going to fix up my shop tonight as it's weekend, but so far it's been really great. Selling all my funky low level uniques for tons of chaos is really nice.

Which brings me to the fact that I managed to buy a (albeit low rolled) carcass jack for the whopping price of 26 chaos, this is on beyond. Soon as I manage to link up that bad boy my shockwave scion is going to be beaming. With that in mind, if anyone happens to want to sell a large amount of jewellers for alchs, chaos, gcps or regals - please hit me up ingame. My char is called Maiaav

BTW since you guys talk about SRS - I played a SRS witch up to 59 and act 2 merciless before I said fuck it. I don't know when exactly it gets strong, but it just felt so lackluster up to that point compared to how amazing my first shockwave totem guy (that ripped to a fucking ice nova chest) was that I decided to reroll. I guess once I do library and pick up a spell echo I'll try it again

SRS is just hyped up because a good portion of the top 50 players are running SRS primarily for its ability to kill bosses quickly.

SRS gets good when you can add levels to the gem via a staff/empower etc. The major appeal is that they whack bosses off screen once their duration gets over 6 seconds. (Duration nodes and Duration gem). Effectively trivializes a lot of the beyond content.

I'm a bit too hipster to run SRS, although I am leveling it on the side, my spectres/zombie combo deal with everything in the game except for (I assume) abaxoth. (willing to run necromantic aegis with sa saffel's frame to see if I can beat that guy)

SRS is stupid easy/safe. you can just afk off screen and kill bosses.

No reflect, no nothing.

Its almost too easy, and kindof boring.

Im stocking piling 73,74, and some 75 maps now which is what I'll maybe alch. Personally I think its better to trans / aug / alt them into +magic or +pack size if you are looking for XP.

Just be careful if you're in beyond with these map mods, you'll almost always spawn a unique beyond mob off these mods. (I love it because it's extra +2 maps most of the time) They're pretty rippy though.

Thats the only map mods I do on Rampage, we get explosions and tornadoes of death the more mobs we kill =)

No other way to do them if you want XP, loot is another story
