So I havent played this shit since like 2003 or whatever and I just dont get it, man. I leveled up several characters to the 30s to see WTF is up but I stuck with my rogue/shm/sk and got him to 52 today. Anyway, I dont fucking get it. I see streams and videos of people getting whole packs of 30+ mobs and shit and melee'ing them down but yet I fucking die when I get more than like 3. I know they have the best gears and 20K AA and I have none of that shit, but I do have decent crap that I farmed PP for.

For instance this Panth dude on twitch was mentioning some lv15 shaman AOE spell he casts and it does 2K dmg per tick. How the fuck does he do this? Is this because of AA like Critical Affliction/Destructive Cascade? I got like 1 point into critical affliction so far but it does like 35 dmg per tick. Is it spell power on gear? I dont fucking know. How is he getting that much spell power? I dont have 2000K PP to spend on the best of the best, lol. shit, even my life tapper procs are shit, doing like 170 or some shit. Its OK for like 1-2 mobs, but get like 5 on me and im donezo.

I tried to get my ass to dragon necropolis today at like 50 like you guys recommended but got my ass handed to me in Sirens a few times and gave up. So went to Sebilis and leveled up some more to 52 or 3 or some shit, I dont remember. Gonna try again tomorrow.

Also the shti takes FOREVER to level up to legendary, maybe thats the problem. That fucking earning I have leveling right now I think I had in that slot since like lv48 or some shit.

Most of my shit is still enchanted? And of course no augs because I cant afford the good shit at 15K a piece, lool.

You need Symp Strike 6 (example: Lego level of "Zlandicar's Heart") to get low level AoEs/single target to do good damage and they need to have a DD component plus cost at least 10 mana. This is probably the most important item(s) to kill faster.

Next you need to pump spell power as it boosts the whole kit and makes the DoTs have big ticks. Then, yea, level everything to lego, the more stats on an item the slower it levels.

You should be able to do the SK epic by now and buy a Mrylokar's for offhand, or so the shm epic too. You need to use the first step(s) of the shm epic to max rep for SK epic anyway, but I think the dagger is best in OH at lego. AFAIK, the SK epic is BiS main hand and Mrylo is BiS off hand (unless you're a wiz).

That said, I couldn't swarm kite DN until I hit 60 with 1000+ AA, and that was half-ish of the zone at a time (using ripost disc on the rats). At your level, I was able to kill around 10-40 trolls in Crypt of Nardox with 300 - 500 AA (memory might be a little off on this). The ripost discs to seem to help, but don't know if they would be a priority.

I have at least 3 of Mrylokar's sitting around; I can send you one if you want. I have numerous green/blue items that you can level up to get symp strike 6 too; I'm sure SHM can use at least one of them.

So maybe I should concentrate on my pet cuck build then if this SK/ROG/SHM is going to need 1000s of AA and 1000K PP of gear, lol. I also dont get the spell power component of this build if most of my killing right now is facetank and backstab spam. How is spell power helping this build? Help me out bros, im just trying to learn here.

Name is Romag if you dudes want to send me some goods, I wont mind :D

Poison uses spell damage. The build is like 80%+ dot damage when it comes to bosses.

Oh i just remembered, since you're new, maybe focusing your current build around cheap hdex gear and going full into assassination might work well for you. I think 92 hdex gives you a 100% chance of assassinate. So you could just run around and kill a humanoid mob every 6 seconds. Collect the loot and slowly buy spell damage BIS. DN is the best xp (killling rat men, don't level past lv 56 to get max xp for dn), but South West Hate probably has better loot, and it's nothing but humanoids.

Pet cuck needs alot of aa and gear to get going too.

See thats the type of shit that should be explained to you in game or something. Like how am I supposed to know that spell dmg affects poisons, lol? Good infos. Anthing else I should know? Does +heal affect my lifetap procs? It seems like it does.

Spell power affects taps because it directly equates to the damage done, then it can crit heal with the SHD AA.

Also, more on the grandmaster items. For the poison Grandmaster Vial (the others seem to work the same, according to disco working as intended) the no rent lego bags below turn into the 20 slot 25wt bag when an item is left in them. Carry weight hardly seems to matter outside of the 500wt bank boxes. So I leave some junk in the bag and after 30 min of logged out, poof, a 20 slot perma bag. Still, I'm not brave enough to leave anything important in them overnight.

There are pins (kinda hidden) on the Disco thread with good info; you don't really need to read the conversations. To access the pins you need to expand the thread so it's "full screen" then pins are at the top, next to the search bar.

I can give you 20 slot bags too, but you arent replying to tells. If you haven't changed chat set up, the default is a huge mess. I set tells to open their own window in options.

So I powerleveled a MNK/ZRK/CLR (with 1500+ AA and all BIS lego gear outside of bracers/chest), walked into Sleeper's, started on Sleeper, hit the "I win" button... and was feared to dead before 80%.

Tried a second time without the one 40min cooldown (but using fearless disc) and got him to around 50%. I don't see how that 1 cooldown is going to make up the last 50%.
Click to expand...
Just smack him until 90-91% can use a small cd for this part if you want, like Innerflame. Click off whatever you used if it's a disc and use fearless at 91-90, hit him till 75, drop fearless then burn, ignore warder/ancient that spawns, your first disc won't last till he dies, mine drops at 30% with cleaving rage so pop savage spirit after to finish.
