Are there any tricks for leveling a second char faster, anything like diablo3’s hellfire rings or gem of ease?

After you did level in monos you can skip major parts of campaign, most notably imperial dreadnaught in a4 that takes you to shining cove which is a path to temporal sanctum, which leaves you in a9 majelka
If you are getting friends help, then its lightless arbor to corrupted lake to BOTH imperial dreadnaught mentioned above and soulfire bastion to the arena in heoborea

Multi shot marksman is what you want for maximum arrows.

There's also one that spams cinder strike at high speed that then procs meteors. Also a frost arrow build. They all play exactly the same except you spam a different main attack.

And without somebody else's assistance you need to get to chapter 9's town to get access to the services of your chosen faction. You can join them early on alts and get the passive effects of CoF or whatever it is the bazzar has just for being in it but you can't do prophecies or access the vendors or use the actual AH.

You can run Temporal Sanctum and exit directly to Act 9 after you finish it, if it's an alt you probably have keys for it banked.

Yeah Raxx makes good content and usually knows what he's talking about and that guide is spot on.

My Warlock is 99 and basically "done" except I still haven't gotten the Immolator's Oblation belt to drop even though I've done ~10 tier 4 Soulfire Bastions. Getting that would be a pretty massive dps increase against bosses or any other tough enemies so it's pretty annoying not getting it yet. I'm also still looking for 2+ LP ladle, exsang, twisted heart, etc. but all the ones I have are 1 LP with a good affix currently at least.

I need to iron out my affixes for surge/static Spellblade; using Flamebrand as a main attack fills my charge stacks up insanely fast but leaves me short on mana when i dump and using mana strike has the opposite issue. Otoh im starting another manaless spellblade build that might work really well - 0-mana Mana Strike that triggers spark bolts and *i think* 0-mana lightning arcs, frostbolts, and eventually lightning blasts, buffed by autocasting 0 mana Enchant Weapon, and Static in the last slot to stack up and shoot lightning blasts for free

Testing it Judgement can keep up fervor indefinitely and its damage scales similar healing hands . But you don't get the increased damage taken debuff. Which is probably enormous.

But !! It’s much more theme appropriate and fits the class fantasy

If you want to farm Exile Mages, I think I found a very efficient method. There's a map in Reign of Dragons (and maybe other places?) called Solarum Ascent. It's very small. Small enough to see Exile Mages on loading on. Good probabilities too.

Here's the map. I placed an orange (unique) icon where you spawn, and a smaller red (key) icon where the Exile Mage can spawn.



My strategy was that if I spawned at the Southern point, and see nothing, leave immediately. If I spawn at the Middle point, I run up to the North point since there's 2 chances there for a Mage spawn. And if I spawn in the North and see nothing, just leave again. I did this for an hour and managed to run 215 echos, finding 74 mages and 51 chests. There's almost no chance of running into a boss that will complete the echo by mistake. They usually spawn in the South when you spawn in the Middle and North, and spawn in the North when you spawn in the South. Out of about 400 runs, maybe 3 times I saw a lone Spire in the North when I spawned in the Middle that I had to carefully avoid.

I was running this at 1005 corruption with 2 40% increased rarity nodes from finding "enemies enrage at 50%" nodes before running the Solarum Ascent. I basically ignored enemies except those around the Mage Exile.



I also tried a different method where if I spawned in the North, I would always run to Middle and check. That netted me 165 echos and 66 mages. I wasn't recording the chests at the point. The mage numbers aren't so bad if you do it that way, and way less reloading the echo.

Im using a chronic fissure build and liking it, but it was a guide made 2 weeks ago and now im kind of winging it because everyone has abandoned all warlock builds to do the new broken thing. Which is fine but also a bummer because it doesn’t feel like there are lots of cool builds to try out like usual.

Yes, in the Affix condition section of the filter, you can check the "advanced options" button to do that. You would basically want to check all affixes as a baseline, choose "2 of these affixes on the same item" and say the tier of the individual affixes must be greater than 5. You could deselect any affixes that are truly garbage that you would never want or care about to narrow it down a bit, although double exalt items are not all that common to begin with so seeing all of them wouldn't really flood you with too much stuff to look through.

I'm at ~15 tier 4 soulfire bastion clears now and still no belt. 18% drop chance feels like a lie. Pre 1.0 I had a ton of them though so it's just bad RNG I assume. Then again, I see some reddits/posts elsewhere with people running ~40 Tier 4s and not seeing the belt which would be like a 0.01% chance of happening if true. I know I've gotten zero uniques from him several times so maybe there actually is something bugging it out.

If dungeons are meant to be story skips, they probably shouldn't 1-shot at tier 1 and require a full build to do the boss.

Actually, it would be really cool if they would just let me skip the boss and come out the other side.

edit I have 600 hp im level 51, the tier 1, level 45 soulfire bastion does NOT need to go this hard! I can't even see the giant golems lobbing 3 pointers from 3 screens away because I have like 12 skeletons, the punishment for that should not be 1 key, I'm not even here for the loot! I would gladly do this without loot if they would just let me by!

Dungeons are by far the worst part of this game

on my 2nd character i figured i would skip through the dungeons to make it faster. i was basically just wearing move speed uniques with 300hp and died like 3 times trying to do the lvl 20 dungeon lol. just ran through the rest of the campaign normally.

when crafting and it says it is going to use 1-10 forging potential and then it uses 15 is that supposed to be like a critical failure or something? because it sucks

All the dungeons feel pretty well done, although the random pathways in Arbour are pretty loving annoying. They are visually distinct and have mechanics and rewards that set them apart from standard Monolith gameplay.
They are mostly useless as a campaign skip though - if you wanna get to Monoliths asap, rush through the campaign until you get the lance in A7, then do monos until you're ready for t1 Temporal Sanctum, skip to A9 and get your faction unlock. Anything else is a waste of time.

i just did the Temporal skip to act 9 on my low mana spellblade at like level 48 and it was fine? Had one close call on the boss when she starts doing the homing shots at low hp but a Flame Ward and a pot fixed it. I'm still kind of figuring the mechanics out but I think this build might be an answer to the high-mana Static node - Mana Strike procs Frost Claw, Mana Arc, Spark Charges, and eventually Lightning off Frost Claw and I might be able to fit more damage at 0 mana nodes too, and then I can dump a big mana Static whenever I go positive

I ran ~25 tier 3s early on to get the belt to drop, and I've run a dozen or so T4s since then with no belt drop. I've had more than a few runs on both t3 and t4 without a unique drop. It's all anecdotal, but the impression I get from my experience and what I've read is that the belt is pretty drat rare. Add on needing to get LP and the substat roll changing damage from 160/200/240... it just sucks.

I was only half-joking. I think they should look for where the weakest builds are and pump those up if they're looking for some kind of work to do between cycle changes.
