After spending most of an evening prepping everything, I did 1-68 this morning on my Molten Strike Raider. Now to get to 71 and start wearing my Shroud of the Lightless :getin:

So I bought a currency and essence tab while they are on sale.. but I don't see them in game. Is there something I have to do to claim the purchases or something?

I did. I have nothing but the standard tabs and all the premium tabs I purchased way back at the beginning of the game.

I have a Currency Tab that is just a premium tab that I renamed. Maybe that's blocking it somehow? I'll try renaming it and logging.

Super budget White Wind ranger:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZofMGr7gCfI - Atziri test
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_HI3wbmQlo - Doing a T11 Mesa

Total cost:
White wind - 1 alch
Starkonja's hood - 1c
Atziri's step - 1c
Queen of the forest - 8c
Southbound - ? I found these will probably replace later
5L - 90ish fusings?

Damage seems to be fine so far. I have 75% dodge and 65% spell dodge. The only issue is my max life is at 4587. I picked up most of the life nodes that I can without trekking over to the scion circle. I'm afraid that I might get one shotted later on in higher tier maps.

They were there, but just numbered and colored as normal premium tabs. I sort of assumed that they would be named or colored differently. Thanks.

On a completely different subject... How do you handle bosses that require you to constantly move in order to not be one-shot, when casting towards them requires stopping at least for a moment, and delivering any significant damage requires stopping for more than just a moment.

I'm playing an arc build, and it's great against masses of mobs, but against a single target like that rear end in a top hat boss in act 5 (Avarius) I was just getting splatted left and right. My orb of storms and chaos golem (just threw it in an empty spell slot as a cast and forget thing) couldn't even keep his ES down, let alone damage his life. I am supposed to be using lightning orbs for single target damage, but they were even worse than just using arc due to how slow they move, and the boss keeps moving around so they miss.

What am I missing, how are crazy bosses with lots of things keeping you moving supposed to be dealt with? Tips and tricks are welcome.

Awesome!

Decoy Totten has probably done more for my longevity than my stupid amounts of Dodge/Evasion.

39 perfect posts with each roll.

I don't' think there's a single boss in the game that doesn't give you chances to hit back, you just gotta learn when you can be casting, and when you should be moving.

I have never even heard of a Decoy Totem, and it's certainly not mentioned in the build guide I'm following! I will look for it tomorrow when I'm back in game. Thanks to all three responses with this.

Act 1, talk to Nessa, it's in the second tab of her sell tab. It's a lifesaverred gem. Everyone needs to know about it.

Does the cold increase on white wind act as a local or global mod?

***edit**
I mean the conditional 100% increase, not the base cold damage.

just note that it will be pretty fragile until you get some levels on it.

It boosts the damage of my other cold stuff like herald of ice so global I guess?

Yeah it's p. much The Tempest but better, so global (though I'd argue the bow skill selection was better than the dagger one, but now you can just ancestral call + any of like 5 different abilities to get great results)

I made a The Tempest shrapnel shot build last league and it was strong enough to do all the Shaper guardians with some decent map mods, but I hit a wall where increasing the DPS could only be done with like, multi-ex belts and amulets. I'd worry White Wind has that same problem.

Class decision question! What is the state of QotF Wanderfinder, especially in the case of farming uber lab? Because I have a level 69 Pathfinder sitting around with like 15 points unspent, and I have the decision to spec into the following;

BV Pathfinder, for Uber Lab

Blade Flurry Pathfinder, for Uber Lab and bossing.

QotF Wanderfinder, for Uber Lab(?) and general purpose mapping and bossing

For general mapping Wanderfinder mapping, VPS got it's targeting radius nerfed. But on the other hand the insane amount of flat daamge available from jewels might make up for the map clear loss.

How do I get more currency and better maps? I'm slowly progressing map tiers because I can barely get t5-7 to drop. Though I should probably get Zana to my HO to buy maps off her.

Didnt try twinned core, but in the temple you need to step on 6 trigger plates to spawn the boss, 2 of which sometimes dont get triggered, thus leaving you unable to complete the map you bought for 30c to grind out your achievements.

Well, poo poo.

I didn't even notice it didn't complete. I jsut figured the pressure plate bosses was it.

Getting zana in will give you a free map a day through her daily, and leveling her will give better drops in maps.

Is there a page that breaks down pricing?

There was an amulet sold above for over an Exalted, and I don't understand why. It has spell damage and life, but lacked any resistances.

Amulets are one of the only places to get insane damage mods after filling out the rest of your gear, and you can find res on so many other pieces that you can cap without it. High spell damage / crit / crit multi + life necks can be worth a lot.
