I wonder what that will go for. I sold a +2%quant -26% rare ventors (with worse resists) for 20c.

Apparently Animate Weapon likes negative rarity, but how yours has much more broad appeal.

anyone have a guide or suggestion for a raider ele wander? i see pathfinder ones, guess its probably the same tree except ice bite and a pisscators due to the flat ele?

Hey Queeb and anyone else, I thought I would share my wander tree because it actually is different then anything you'd find on the forums, only slightly of course. I've actually tried just about every ranger tree out there and im fully convinced this is probably the best. It's also already helped a few goons double their dps just through passives alone. And finally, the last good thing about it that I'll share is that it's the same exact tree for either pathfinder or raider. Literally the only difference is that Raider is going to grab Fangs of Frost over Arcing Blows (which is still a fine cluster once you got wrath up and running) and of course, grab all frenzies. Pathfinder on the other hand is just going to grab flask effectiveness (which ill tell you more after the tree: spoiler, its bugged).

edit: links didn't work so here's just a link to my profile: Pathfinder Build As I said the only difference between the Raider tree is you pick up all frenzys and grab Fangs of Frost instead of Arcing Blows.

As you can see both trees are starved for points, so despite what i believed and was telling people early on, I'm now quite certain that Kill All Bandits is the way to go. Alira all res, regen and multi is nice, but we can do more with two points depending on your level.

Other things about the tree: yes, the wand attack speed plus accuracy nodes are still better then taken the increased damage, even if you're are using Lycosidae and cannot miss.
Why not Heart of Oak + Ballistic Mastery? This is a VP leech build meaning we cannot regen, plus going by acro saves us points, allows us to grab it, and takes us right by Revenge of the Hunted Cluster.

I think the only mandatory clusters besides the class specific ascendancy stuff, is Primeval Force, Arcing Blows OR Fangs of Frost, and either Wandslinger or the Big Wand Cluster, or preferably both.

edit: forgot to mention the bug, and this goes for all pathfinders using 50%+ flask effectiveness by using Conqueror's Potency Jewel (the only way u can go above 50). Anyway, when the gem is equipped you cannot remove bleeds with your flasks. I don't use master surgeon so I'm not sure about that, but staunching flasks do not remove bleeds. Oddly enough, they will cure corrupted blood stacks, just not bleeds. I just heard and talked to people about this today, and thinking back on all my deaths it makes A LOT of sense. I'm praying GGG fixes it real quick cause im not sure what to do. I guess Ill buy another rare jewel in the meantime.

The bug is just with instant flasks right? You could put the bleed immunity on a diamond and be fine.

I have a bow raider and after buying enough regrets to change my tree I'd have at least 800c to spend on gear, doable?

One way or anther I'm getting to where I have to spend a big chunk, if I stick with bow raider it's 7-800c for a 6L bow and a kaoms, and I'm like 150c away from having enough for that.

That's plenty enough to take down all content, wanders will suck up as much currency as you can throw at it but really a few hundred chaos will get you super far (thanks to barrage being stupid OP).

Vaal orb corruption can occasionally apply really really really good implicit modifiers on items. For gems, you can occasionally boost the level or quality above 20.

Getting curse on hit gloves, +1 curse amulets, +1 frenzy charge boots, +1 arrow quivers, or +1 to all gems on armor are huge power boosts on items you were already going to use anyway.

It's risky and you're likely to end up bricking whatever item you were going to use, so it's sort of dumb to Vaal things wildly unless you're already swimming in currency to replace your losses.

Don't know how it is for wanders, but I leveled to 80 as Ele Barrage doing this with a Drillneck and a rare bow. I've been clearing red Beachheads without issue

The only real downside to doing it is the opportunity cost of giving up 3 jewel slots.

The armour (royal burgonet) and armour/eva (no idea) are pretty safe crafts. There's also stuff like starkonja's, devoto's, rats nest, abyssus if you wanna win the specific enchant lottery.

Vaal Orbs corrupt everything you use them on. All that means is you can't make any further modifications to the item. Sometimes Vaal Orbs do really powerful things, like adding properties to uniques (which can't otherwise be modified), raising skill gems above level 20 (which is also impossible to do any other way) and so on. Sometimes they brick stuff - the first tab of the gstash is by tradition full of uniques that got ruined by Vaal Orbs, for instance. But whatever they do you're stuck with the result.*


*The one exception is that level 8 Vorici can apply all his crafts to corrupted items, but it costs you one Vaal orb per unit of other currency. So if you want to 6L a corrupted item, it's going to cost 1500 Fusings and 1500 Vaals, aka a shitload of money.

Learned a few lessons yesterday. First, I spend far too much time during town excursions. I lost two town portals in areas I hadn't found a waypoint. :negative:

Then I learned that the way I built this character, he is extremely weak to elemental damage and has difficulty with single, large targets. Is there a generic set of ranges I should be targeting for things like resistances, life totals or leech?

I also got to learn about mana multipliers in support gems. I had no idea I could cost myself out of skills so easily, so a lot of my planning got scrapped.

Still, this game is really good. Aside from boss encounters not feeling great and in general having a lot to take in, I'm not finding a lot to complain about. Definitely scratching that Diablo 2 itch.

Are uniques incredibly rare in this? I've only seen a pair of boots and a gem so far. (Neither one good for a duelist.)

You always want at least 75% resistance to each element. Uniques as such are not rare, good uniques are. Suggested life totals you want to target depend on what exactly you do, and which league you play. Generally speaking, it's "as much as possible".

Gear for elemental resists and life. You can get away with not worrying too much for the first few acts but you really want your resists maxed at all times, and then as much life as you can get on top.

Uniques start out rare but in the endgame it's rare an hour goes by when I don't get at least one. Good ones, on the other hand, come along about once a year, if you're lucky.

Zephro

Specifically you want 75% resistance to cold, fire and lightning. Don't worry so much about chaos, but if you can fit some chaos res in without gimping your gear it's a nice bonus.

Life and the like depends on your build but the old rule of thumb was ~4k by the end of Merciless, which would correspond to the end of Act 10 now. If you're playing in Hardcore defence obviously becomes even more important.

Also as you level your mana pool grows naturally, and support gems' mana multiplers generally matter less. There's a few builds that still have mana issues endgame like traps and srs but it's a lot less common.

E: also, what skill are you using at the moment? It's not uncommon to have one regular skill for going through areas and then another one specifically for bosses.

Things like Primal Spirit, Crackling Blows, and Phase Acrobatics you can spec in and out of depending on your character needs.

Yeah the biggest annoyance I have with Dark Pact is even with +AoE nodes and inc. AoE gem its range feels pitiful clearing for example Breaches, after having spent Mayhem running around destroying every monster in the breach every time I tapped my Kinetic Blast button. Really that's the big reason AoE skills '''''suck''''' at the moment, projectiles can just get so much better coverage and AoE skills don't really have anything else to excel at to make up for that.
