At which point did you switch to PA? I am level 47 and my lightning tendrils is starting to fall off even though I have dual Lifsprig. Switching to PA kills stuff but its hella slow..

Also If you get the time putting up a leveling pathing of nodes every 20-30 levels would be a nice addition to the guy for future people trying this out so they can switch to PA asap.. I know I could of sure used it cause I'm sure I went about it wrong:

@ 47: (Its my only character on there)

I'm going to put this in a separate reply due to the length of it, but this is a tree progression put together by a build user.

At this point I had mana problems so I took the opportunity and spect out of Primal Spirit and into Mana Flows and Soul Siphon

I don't know if this has been asked yet or if it was in the guide but. What would you recommend specing after you get Corruption? Jewel slots? Frenzy charges? etc. Great build. thanks in advance

Tough to know without seeing where your tree is and how firmly you're following the guide. Assuming that you are following it more or less to the letter



@Statusblue: Unless you're willing to drop your additional curse amulet, not really. Your best bet is to get decent res / life amulets and corrupt the crap out of them until you get +curse on that, then you can adjust your gloves to get IIR rather than the tri-res business you got going on now. Though tbh since you're running Ventor's Gamble, you should be able to drop one res off your gloves already.

@Devilsden: You'll be able to res balance just fine with Drillneck since you're only running 1 andvarius at the moment.

I'd still recommend pushing for a +3 bow first, though. Or at the very least put Iron Grip in that spare red slot that you have, then Drillneck, then second either second Andy or +3 bow.

I've been loosely following this guide for about a half a week now, so far it's been pretty solid. I was going full damage for awhile but transitioned into MF because it was relatively easy to do so. I have a few questions if anyone would be kind enough to answer.

1. I managed to grab the "essentials" thus far. Andvarius, Goldwyrm, +2 5L bow, IIR gloves.. I would like to start boosting dps again. Would a Drillneck or a +3 bow be better for this?

2. Was wondering why the jewel "Hidden Potential" wasn't used. Did you (OP) consider it? I'm using it so far and with 4 magic gear pieces I still have capped resists and 5k+ life. The damage boosts that it gives is significant. Just wanted some additional thoughts on it.

That's pretty much it. I feel like I'm forgetting one other question.. but no matter. Any thoughts on my questios are appreciated. Thanks for the guide OP!

trying your build and i have a question regarding leveling
if i level with PA and Tabula Rase which 5 gems could i use for leveling?
empower and iir are no option for leveling - what are the alternatives for more damage -> faster leveling?

if any1 is selling a 5link +3 bow in warbands for 90 c,let me know ^^ :p

So this just happend =D

gratz :) nice bow

grrrrrrrrrrr

How high is the drop upgrade from going 5L -> 6L on a +3 bow?
Is it really worth spending that much currency on it?
Sorry if this was already answered.

1. +3 bow
2. Hidden Potential means loss of MF / res balance. With Andvarius rings, it's just not manageable.

Gem levels are single handedly the best thing you can do for damage. Nothing else compares. That's why we don't use tabula. But if you want to give it a shot: Slower Proj - Conc Effect - AoE - Iron Grip - Faster Proj

If you plan on using the build for a long time, yes. The extra 50% or so rarity you get is the difference between getting Soul Taker, or Lit Coil, etc., *and* the difference between making 0.5ex per hour and 0.4ex per hour.

Translate that over 10 hours play time - 5ex earned vs 4ex earned just from raw currency. Now go 200 hours - 100ex earned versus 80ex earned.

The longer you use the build, the more impact having the IIR gem slotted in becomes. Usually every 10-20 or so hours I invest, I get one good drop worth at least 1ex. Without the IIR gem, the time range for that drop extends to more like every 15-30 hours.

Mileage may vary, but the purpose of MF builds is to go to a war of attrition against currency farming. And that means you're looking to stretch the benefits out over time, even small advantages matter.
