Quick question, for a Queen of the Forest Uber Lab Runner build is Devoto's or Rat's Nest a better helmet? I will be running BV as my damage skill but also curious if BF is viable, for when fighting Izario

Thanks!

Just in case here is the profile link. TrixieRacer

If you're lab running BV, Izaro has a fixed speed. No matter what (unless you cheese the timing with mine or something), you will have to wait for the 2nd pedestal in Phase 1 and 2 of Izaro to rise before the phase will be completed. As long as you have enough damage to get him to that point before the 2nd pedestal finishes rising, you have effectively max DPS against him.

Since Devotos lets you run faster, as long as you can kill him within that limit then it's better to have the extra movespeed. If you don't have enough damage, then invest in better gems until you do.

Yeah, Blade Vortex is an incredibly strong skill for killing bosses because its high-end damage is absurd and it continues to hit (and leech) even when you're not actively attacking (so things like stuns don't mean death), but it's frustrating for map clearing because you need to stop and cast several times instead of just once or twice, and then you still need to move a little afterward.

As a doomfletch, would a vinktar's with phys damage conversion effectively lower DPS? Or does the +110% ele damage happen before conversion?

I don't feel like doing the resist balancing for wise oak and figure this is a good option.

"Gain x% of y damage as z" happens before conversion. Go nuts. Okay that's not strictly true but you still won't lose DPS since it'll still have the physical damage tag and doomfletch will add damage based on that.

It's fine it won't hurt you but be aware the 10% lightning pen Vinktar and the flat lightning to attacks Vinktar are both a lot better for the build.

Then again, why would you? Your base physical only makes up a quarter of your total damage, devoting an entire flask slot is going to get minimal scaling with elemental attack damage. I'd rather use another flask slot, get a high elemental roll Atziri's promise, or balance your resists and get a Wise Oak.

The shock is a good damage boost and it makes you have infinite leech while active.

This, and I need the lightning resist atm.

I would totally get the added lightning damage but its a difference of 4.3ex to 15c

only time you shouldn't wear biscos is when farming shaper or for very difficult bossfights like uber atziri or Ow-my-groin Ruin

I just bought a biscos with the minion damage enchant for shaper/uber farming, should let me kill them faster than the chayula I was wearing before (since i'm normally lazy and dead during the fight anyways)

How is clearspeed? If your build feels lacking, fix those aspects first.

Also, make sure you can meet resist and stat requirements with a bisco's.

Good as dead





Speaking of Bisco's, one with a good roll (137 rare/95 normal/19 implicit) just dropped for me. I'm new and poor as poo poo (I have less than 1 exalt to my name, maybe 50c in valuable currency). It's my second valuable unique, after Doomfletch's Prism. Would I be better off selling it, or farming with it on?

Farming with it on. It pays for itself extremely quickly.
