Good advice (after rolling for +1 levels and quant).

I rolled 8-mod maps for the challenge by taking 6-mod maps and vaaling those. If you are going to vaal individual maps, don't waste them on <6 mod maps.

I just bought them.

I'm looking to either split the cost of buying a vaal temple with someone, or to buy a spot in a vaal temple map if someone has one already (or two spots, a friend of mine needs it also). It's one of the last few challenges I need. If anyone is interested in this pm me here or message me ingame

I'm on perandus SC, my quakelord marauder is named WeedGoku

I bought a vaal temple a week or two ago, and then got offered a free portal into one a few hours later. You can have the one I bought as long as you get all the guild members that need it together at the same time to run it.

That's very awesome of you but I am happy to pay you for it. My friend is a goon but he isn't tagged in the guild. I'd be happy to give away the other 4 spots to guildies though!

So, is anyone else going for the top 25 Demi this race?

On HC, I'm currently #14 for Inquisitor;
Rodent is still in the Juggernaut top 25 field but will likely be pushed out end of the race.
On SC, I recognize ZyrKx is #12 for Elementalist.

#1 gets an alternate art demigod's chest armour, #2-25 get a normal art demigod's chest armour. Each one notes the position you came in below the flavour text.

I was like 14th slayer in HC yesterday but I ripped and am now being outside for the week.

I managed to hit 92 today, which is higher than I've ever been despite playing since beta. A couple of stupid deaths to bearers and lack of map drops is really slowing me down though.

Wishing I'd chosen a different class as well since Elementalist seems to be the most competitive except for maybe Ascendant. :shrug:

Hi noob questions here. How long does each league last? What happens when Perandus ends? I understand our characters get moved to standard. All items too? I bought extra stash tabs, do they stay with my account? Do we know what comes after perandus?

What is the default character limit, and do people generally just delete old characters from standard and play new leagues as they come up?

Thanks.

According to wiki: Talisman started on December 11th, and ended March 4th. Perandus started on March 4th, and will end May 30th. So around 3 months. It ends. All items on characters will follow them to standard. All items in your Perandus League stash, will get sent to the standard stash, as "remove-only tabs". You cannot put items into these tabs, and once you remove all the items from them, they will close. Check the guild stash on standard the day after league ends, it'll be hilariously cluttered. Afaik anything you buy (such as stash tabs) will stay with your account, and are not specific to a league. After Perandus...don't know really. Haven't seen anything.

Hey Grizlor, I got your message on IRC. I'm not on much anymore, I'm mostly done till next season. IRC in early afternoon central time is the best way to find me, or we can arrange a time for this. Otherwise, this vaal temple will rot.

I have a Daresso's Defiance with a really good set of rolls on it but I can't use it yet

my damage is rear end but i'm insanely survivable except for when something bursts me. The tentacle dudes in the lunaris temple chewed me up and almost got me like four times somehow

Titty bitches are super deadly, and ideally you should never be hit by them. They have a long windup, and can be dodged relatively easily, as long as they don't spawn with multiple projectiles.

EDIT: Looked at your gear. Replace Goldrim and Le Heup with things that have life. They're just for leveling and should be replaced whenever you feel like your survivability is dropping. Also I think you can get a better offhand than relentless fury. I think Death's hand is very popular for southpaw reave.

I'd start with finding a real chest piece and then seeing which he likes better among relentless fury/death's hand/soul taker. Unlinked belly of the beast is fairly cheap on PHC, or a cheap rare with life and resists.

What happens if you do Blade Vortex - Cast on Critical Strike - Power Charge on Critical Strike - Blade Vortex?

Can you create a perpetual motion machine with this? Or is the 2nd blade vortex the end of the line and it won't trigger the first?

Cast on crit only procs from attacks. BV is a spell.

Even if that did work:

The CoCS wiki posted:

Cooldown Time: When a supported spell is successfully cast, it and all supported spells of the same name are put on cooldown for 50 milliseconds. This means that a given spell can only trigger once per critical strike, and reduces the effect of linking multiple copies of the same spell to this support (especially when it is at a higher gem level). It is important to note that this cooldown does not apply to the gem as whole; you can trigger multiple spells within the 50 millisecond cooldown time as long as they are different.

notmetalenough
Feb 26, 2010
That makes sense. I hate casting BV but I want it up all the time. I don't want to spare the links to put it on my attack. I'll see if I have spare links to put it on a CWDT.

If I find another one you can have it.

New Skills Preview

It seems like you might be able to trigger any cold+area spells at Frostbolt's location instead of your own. I kinda hope that's the case because lots of cool cold gems aren't something I'd ever use because they want you to be right next to the mobs. Also, it would be hilarious if it worked with the best cold+area skill in the game, Discharge.
