Hello friends.


I'm 90% going to play a necro support on day 1 (2) so plz ask me to help u push maps.

I've never tried playing a support character or really socialising at all beyond trading and guild chat, so I might try something like this myself. Have you got a guide you're following at all?


Also, RF totems while undeniably solid for a league opener, are horribly boring.

Once you know what you are doing and have found/bought a few key leveling uniques it's only 5-10 hour to level a new character to 70. Sometimes I wish respecing was easier but really it isn't that bad.

Serious question if you don't like chaining maps what do you do/enjoy in the game?

There's a distinct difference between playing the maps optimally i.e. skipping bosses, running as hard as you can, never doubling back and rarely taking more than a few minutes to clear a map, which is what I would consider chaining and just playing maps because you enjoy them, including "bad" maps, killing bosses and just enjoying yourself in the game.

Personally I don't find chaining maps in that sense fun but I do enjoy puttering about and taking my time. Ish, it's not like I kill every mob on a map or anything. Everyone will have their own happy place on that spectrum somewhere.

I'm thinking of something very similar, but I've never played a mana guardian before. Presumably the MoM nerf isn't going to hurt too much?

GC mines are ok from 28, decent from saboteur normal lab, good from saboteur cruel lab. You really need sabo cruel + volatile mines to make it a smooth playstyle. They are not at all very fast map clears, though. It's mid tier clear and pretty good boss killing. KB mines clear a LOT faster but obviously cant do bosses for poo poo unless there's a wall nearby.

Was auction sniping a big deal last league ?

Only for the 1%ers who could be bothered to deal with it, but yes you could pick stuff up ridiculously cheap if you ran a bot. It's exploitative and stupid whichever way you look at it, and gave a very small % of the player base way to much control over the market. Nobody should be sad to see it go.

People who've done GC mines, what did you level with initially? And when did you switch over? I was wondering if fire nova would work for levelling since all the nodes are +ele and +mine damage, but I've never tried fire nova so I have no idea.

Pretty much, yes. This also looks set to big their biggest ever, again.

But they're usually pretty good about these things, it should be up soon.

There's plenty of other ways to waste money on that build too (presence of chayula, skin of the loyal in the right colors, lvl 4 empower).

Also not sure there's a ton of reason to go elementalist anymore, since you cant afk the end game bosses now. Might as well go necro. Spectres are almost certainly the better necro build right now similar play style, but cheaper and easier to get going while also probably being faster at almost everything.

I'd imagine the price on primordial stuff is going to come down somewhat now isn't it? Still going to be stupid expensive though I'm sure.

Nova Spark turned out poo poo, cant handle any map bosses (much less merciless izaro) and i lost all will to play as i simply cant be arsed to torture myself through the 3.0 levelling a second time.
maybe its good to take a break every now and then.

So I'm not the only one who misses the good old days then? When I first played 3.0 I was so happy at them rationalising things like the sewers and warehouses, but in fact I think A5 & 10 (especially 5) are as much of a slog as 3 & 4 ever were. Or more.

According to Reddit, for the Abyss bat bosses if you kill the bug spawners the bats will stop using some (all) of their special powers?

I find it pretty much impossible to see what is going on during Abysses, so I've tired slowing down a bit and being a bit more methodical about it rather than just running to the next big pit. FWIW that's worked pretty well for me, but I couldn't really say if it's because the bats become easier or just because things are a bit less hectic. Either way I would recommend clearing along the lines of the fracture rather than just jumping node to node. The timers are pretty generous, and overall I think I actually do them faster this way anyhow.

If that's what they mean by a map tab I'm noting paying $15 for that. I don't think I'd pay $5 tbh, there's nothing there that I have so much of I can't fit it in a normal tab anyway.

If I had to guess it will have a dump box where you put any map in, which then get sorted automatically into pop out tabs, one for each tier or something like that.

I think it's useless now. Without even trying I have like a 86%+ chance to hit enemies so I don't think the miss chances are that bad.

Don't forget that crits have to roll accuracy again after the initial hit. That said I don't see lyco being worth that kind of cash.

Yeah I can run no regen just fine as GC mines. It does slow thing down a little, but it's perfectly doable. I usually roll over on no regen unless the quant% is fantastic but if I get it on a corrupted map or unid map I just run with it and it's fine.
