I have no doubt that skyforth will make the build incredible but be aware that it'll raise the price of the rest of the items because you can't rely on boots for easy 90%+ resistances

you will save like no joke 7-8 passive points which will offset any other disadvantage though

This looks...promising. And I already have one of those claws... (and one unupgraded one) Might just level with the basic versions from 22 and switch to the upgrades at 68.

Probably going to do this after I hit 90 on my totem jerk. I'll get to use that goddamn ridiculous 6l I made! :getin:

Yeah I was sort of surprised on the pyre vortexer for how hard it is to get life and resists sometimes if you run too many uniques--that in fact is why I stopped using the Skyforths on her, wasn't getting enough value out of its perks

I can't look at that build guide or the tree at work, what points will it save? stun recovery nodes somewhere?

I think it's meant to be used for chance-scouring until you get a 6L quill rain. It's kind of like the Emperor of Purity giving a 6L Holy Chainmail that can be turned into a Voll's Protector.

Basically, those are items where the actual white --> unique rarity status is low value, and most of the cost comes from 6Ling it.

I think you're woefully underestimating the cost of chance scouring something. I've got a 6L spine bow back from when voltaxic was first patched in, I've dumped literal thousands of chances into it now, whatever I've got left after every league rollover. It's still blue or yellow or whatever to this day.

In the meantime, I've manually 6Led numerous things now.

What Hauki said. I'm sure some folk will try to scour chance them, but it's clearly more geared toward those trying to make a decay build and will almost completely negate the need to highlight unlinked crude bows.

I mean, whatever. It's only like a handful of chaos (at best, if it has 6 sockets) if you sell one now, but this is just an opportunity to unload them before they're effectively worthless again. Even the most red/blue left side of the tree build gets at least 26 dex in total.

Voltaxic is significantly more rare than Quill Rain though, which means you are much more likely to chance it. Just look at Headhunter chancing for example, most people see tons of the other common belts before they see a Headhunter.

Not that scour chance will be the right choice on this, but it could be a decent option.

Legacy version, I'm assuming.

quote:

Elemental to chaos conversion has been reduced in effectiveness. This only appears on a few items, but is a system change rather than just a change to those items. As such the items affected will not have legacy versions with old values. We have made sure these items display the correct new effective value. The values of chaos conversion on Voltaxic Rift, Infernal Mantle and The Consuming Dark uniques have been reduced to be 60% of their prior value.

Voltaxic is dead boys.

Voll's Protector rarity is pretty common, I often drop several each league, all the value in a 6L version of it is in the links themselves. I think the Quill Rain rarity has gone up a tad, but not high enough that it wouldn't be economical Chance-Scouring a 6L short bow.

You running Tukohama's Fortress I assume? How do you have your character kitted out? I lost a bit of survivablity when I replaced both my shield and my ring (Essence Worm Unset Ring) at once. I feel actually a lot more solid simply because three totems is so, so much better than two. But I still feel it on a lot of bosses.

I've removed some gear from him but everything is rare and tries to have cast speed. Two wands since those are cheap and easy to get with cast speed. You can easily do everything except guardians/shaper/uber atziri/tul/chay

Just let decoy totem do everything while pizzas fill the screen, swap conc effect on bosses

I'm sure there are ways to make him better but it's gameplay for super lazy people like me, I think I reached around 5.5k life + 2k es but I wasn't really paying attention to anything

We shall pay him a visit. There will be a picnic. Tea shall be served.
After using Greengroove's for about a week and then fiddling in the filter between Neversink and Greengroove, I decided that Neversink's is much better if you just make the following adjustments in filtration:

Take Portal Scrolls and ID scrolls out of general currency, increase their size to 45, and then put it on hide (only comes up when you hit alt)
Increase augment and alteration orbs size to 45
Switch all of the black background rares to hide. You can also hide green background rares <ilvl 75 if you like.

Voila, now you have a filter that shows you only good rares with big clickable boxes for everything, a sound scheme that actually makes sense (gently caress you gg "longer = better"), and actually stays on top of the meta

I've been using a modified version of baked chickens done by general tso's chicken. I like it for the sounds. It uses a specific sound for cards, 6 sockets, currency(except jewelers, chromes, alchs, alts, they have no sound) and bad maps vs maps you want. So when running vaal spark I can know if something I need dropped off screen based on sound. The only thing I don't like is all uniques are the same border regardless if they are good or not. But I guess that makes it more fun to not know what I go until I pick it up. Unless its something like unique occultist vestments.

What's your definition of "good rare" though? You have no way of knowing if something's going to be tripleresist etc before you identify it.
