Haven't played in 2 years. I have a 79 Marauder Ground Slammer. Is that total crap now, or should it still be viable (I'm still d/l'ing)? I have a 49 witch also with absolutely no gear, and I imagine a full respec. I bet the marauder does as well. Whats a nice witch build now?

I could never get great items or currency. Ever. I had two level 70+ and found prob 2 exalted. Has that changed any?

What are these Prophecy challenges? Halp, I forgot everything and also there's a lot of new stuffs.

My gear sux mega, I wont be able to amass any points. Should i just start 100% fresh and sell all my gear and delete all my characters? Cause I kond of want to do that. Maybe keep the 79 just so ill have access to all vendors for now. Whats the sort of base lvl dps you need to shoot for? I cant remember what mone is but I bet its not great. I could clear lvl 73ish maps without many problems but that was about it.

From the brief thing I just read EQ would not make good use of faster atk and mult atk, which is what im running so Id have to get a whole new setup. I can run liw maps with this to build up wealth for a bit though.

Swap out multistrike with less duration, and faster attack with rapid decay. There, you can now do EQ without changing your sockets. Go to the vendor and get some level 12 gems, the difference won't kill you.

Sweet thanks.

May i get an invite as well? I was on irc yest at work but went home. Im starting again after 2yrs and could use help. Mostly just need res. My armor sucks and survivability needs work.

Lvl 12 eq w rapid decay does 3k less than GS but im guessing the aftershock boosts it a lot?

Anyone feel like looking at a skill tree real quick? I'm now at a point where I can really get efficient with the build. I just need to learn a lot about the skill tree again. It's about 200% bigger than I remember.
Here

Earthquake. I'm doing fine now with trash jewelry, but looks like I have some attack speed which I now don't need and a little extra mana.

Catalyse 1 node. 24% more elemental damage. I have added fire support, but I don't know if that makes a big difference. I can actually save 7 if I back track from Devotion as well. Use that to go up to Purity of Flesh for life and chaos res?
Berserking 3 nodes by the scion can go.
One AS below Destroyer. One small mana below duelist.

Does that seem about right? Where do I need to go with em? Just copy another build probably?
Anyone need some blessed orbs and chisels? I need regrets now.

Here's what I would do wit hthe points you have available.

More life, more armour, more resistances. Art of the Gladiator is a fantastic node that you really shouldnt skip. The movementspeed you get from it is great, and the rest of the stats are good too (except for accuracy which you dont need).

The only thing you really need for mana is a source of physical mana leech. You can craft that on your gloves with Haku lvl5 if you have an open prefix. If/when you do that, you can drop Mana Flows.

My suggested EQ 6link: EQ->Less Duration->Melee Physical Damage->Fortify->Weapon Elemental Damage->Added fire. If you dont have access to a 5 or 6link, drop 2 of the last three. Play around with what you like the most. If you dont have a 5link, you should ask someone in guild to hook you up, because at this point they should be worth gently caress all for basic ones.

I have 2 5Ls. I don't have a fortify gem, but will get one and replace fire. My other 5L is CWDT - EC - IC - Shell - Golem which is pretty good IMO.

I don't think you need Mana Flows w/ the Berserker Pain Reaver ascendancy point.

I agree with Rat about droping Hematophagy though if you're already resist capped you don't really need to Elementalist or Diamond Skin unless you want more flexibility with gearing choices.

Butchery is way more point efficient than Martial Experience. Go for Bone Breaker as well if you use maces.

Have you thought about grabbing the 3 extra endurance charge nodes? Also there's always more % life to get. :)

I think the more important question is whether you lacking damage or defenses.

Yeah my resists are like 30/70/30/5 or something like that. I would like flexibility to use IR/IQ if I wanted. Although my survivability is still good, tier 3 maps are cake except for the rare occasion I get blasted by 4 groups at once. I don't have access to anything beyond that though. I think my dmg is fine right now, my EQ just got to lvl 17.
If I change to get more ele res and swap EC with a totem setup, then fortify for Added fire, I'm probably good, then just need a better weapon. 163-244 1.53 aps lol.

If everyone isn't tired of me by now, how about a gear check? I know armor ok and 2H stuff and jewelry. Never had archer or 1H. Also I'm sure proj speed has changed a lot and is real bad or something.

Some nerd should make a site or spreadsheet where you can put in all the mods like this on an item and it checks against a bunch of values for different (like the top 20 most played) builds to see if it's viable, even maybe for levelling or something.

What's a decent league starting build that will teach me how to not just run into the middle of every pack? I've played eq two leagues in a row now and even when I try casters I tend to just run in and try to face tank poo poo.

I have no idea where to even begin as a bow user.

Totems all the way. I've been antsy to start another totem build.



I finally got a sacrifice at midnight. Is the Apex the really hard Atziri fight? or is this a lower level one? Cause I can clear t5 maps with max 1 death (haven't had access to any harder ones).

It takes me 7 to 10 min to clear a t4 map and i gain like 10% exp and thats if i dont die to those random balls that spawn after kills. 17 levels to go. Yeah gently caress those guys. Although i thinking getting some more movement speed would help tremendously.

EQ 3% - Rapid Decay - Less Duration - PtoL - MelPhys - Fortify 1%
Warchief - Fire 20% - Conc. Effect - MelPhys - WEleDmg
Hatred - Herald of Ash 8%

Also how much does an attribute like 'adds 3-12 physical damage' on amulet or something actually add? Like what is it multiplied by?
