Good enough for HC?

Or, you could start from Ranger, ignore the AoE nodes (unnecessary), save four points that way +1 point in total cuz Scion's inefficient, path up to Corruption and get a ranger proj node.

Saves 1 point, adds 22% increased damage.

But yes. Good in principle. 200% life, solid.

If proj dmg also scales poison cloud dmg, why not take 6 Projectile Damage nodes rather than opting for 'Corruption' cluster?

@serleth
I stopped playing about 2 years ago and i came back just in time to try out the 2.0. ( i deleted my main char :\ )
Well, it took me quite a lot to understand all new mechanics and stuff (i liked the fact how levelling thru cruel and merciless is less frustrating and you can rush directly to objectives)...still i didn't get some smaller things (when is really worth rolling/crafting strongboxes and such)

Whatever, i decided to follow your build cause it seemed to me the fastest way to raise some currency/levelling. (And i always wanted to try out a MF build .... back in time ek low life was the only semi-decent choice)
I'm actually running:


and some other stuff found in my old chars /bought with the left currency.

Despite the fact i'll go PA once i get a +lv60 +2/3 bow i was wondering myself what's the difference between running PA or going a tornado/ice shot build. I'm actually running frost shot with 2 heralds and i clean up everything in matter of seconds (2k dps +), what's going to change in latter stages? Why did you prefer aoe damage through PA over a Windripper build? (excluding the price)
Let me state i'm not criticizing your build, i just wanna know the differences :D

Hi all,

does PA work on Malachai P2 hearts now? Killed him on normal about two days ago where it did not. Had to rely on FT for that then but I think it might not cut it for Cruel Malachai.
Anyone tried it recently?

Going off my tree you mean? It'd be 5 point savings, like I said:

10/10/10 ranger + 8/8 scion = 46%

Or corruption 9/9/8/18 = 44%

BUT, the extra intelligence allows you to level vulnerability 3-4 more times, which gives you about 6-8% more coverage on your curse.

Up to you, I guess.

Yes.

As far as Windripper goes: expensive as hell. I'm trying to provide the community with a build that has relatively cheap startup cost (5c for a 5L bow, 100 alts maybe for +2 roll). And I straight just don't like Windripper, relying on an element to increase MF.

As for the difference between tshot/ice shot..... not much. You could do it either way if you really wanted to, but again: $$$. Getting good clear speed off those builds *requires* more expensive investment in a 250+ pdps crit bow (3-6ex?). And the playstyle as well: PA you can fire and forget, kiting while things die. With tshot/ice shot, you have to remain static and fire. Things won't just die as you run around like a chicken. ;)

This shit makes zero sense.

It's what I thought for the last 2 days.

Either they just don't drop at all or everyone is using theirs for themselves.

But by no means I will be able to afford this level of prices on an entry unique (Aurseize) before I even have 1 piece of gear. Those things used to fly around in Torment before cruel, now they are scarce even after guys hit maps.

Oh, I just see that the level got upped from 36 to 66, another reason this might not yet be as natural as we are used to.

Yeah, but still, more expensive than Andvarius?

One of the main advantages of Aurseize was that you could get good MF while levelling, then switch to Andvarius.

With a level 66 requirement now, you can go straight to Andvarius so... what the flying fuck????

LOL WTF

I don't know if it's a change of drop rates or just people being stupid ducks. Probably the second.

Goldwyrm is more ridiculous, only 2 in XYZ, both 2 ex !

Any good alternatives for starting MF gear as the recommended are a bit overpriced at the moment?
