Elemental Buzzsaw & Static Strike - Solo the entire game, quickly and cheaply 1.1.0 update

Alright, leveling my first ELE Buzzsaw Scion here.

Got Lightning Coil, decent sword, rings, etc.
Still have to get an Alpha's

Few questions.

Uniques > Any that I should consider for replacing current gear?

Acquiring enough INT/DEX, I noticed that a lot of you don't have any at all
on your gear, and if you do it isn't much.

5 Main Aura's (OP)? Right now I'm leveling Wrath/Anger/Purity of Light

and

ANY help or tips at all for a first time ele buzzsaw, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

5 Main Auras - Anger, Wrath, Haste, Purity of Fire, Purity of Light.

You get a lot of Int/Dex from the tree due to the pathing, an onyx amulet can shore you up if you are lacking.

Remember that DPS scales progressively with levels with this build since the bulk of your DPS comes from Anger and Wrath. Your DPS only gets better the more you play.

Thanks! That was really informative

I need some advice on pushing my build to the next level. I have a bit of currency saved up but not close to affording a 6l coil.

I'm sitting at 10.9k DPS and 4k Life at level 88.

My goal is 5k life and enough DPS to be able to do Atziri.

All of your jewellery is really bad - all lacks life and are mediocre. Fix that and you'll be close to 5k. You have enough DPS already.

Ughh, I'm so bad at this game. I tried Atziri for the first time tonight. I couldn't even get her below 90% hp before using all my portals. I kept on whirling blades out of stuff right into other stuff and getting one shot. Guess I need more practice moving. 99% sure I would have done better just running lol.

Dw, practice makes perfect. (I myself failed my very first Atziri run - you get better and then it's no trouble at all)

Killing Atziri isn't about damage, you have enough at 10k. It's about mitigating her damage to you so you can hang in there long enough to kill her. That requires 2 things. 1, high max elemental resists. 2) Learning the patterns and proper play style.

Your stats are already high enough now to do it, so get in there and practise. GL

I'll make one more post about it, a constructive post, and then just leave it up to the individual. Assuming you have Alpha and Lightning coil, all gear will be the same as everybody else. Some will be better than others, but the basic gear slots will be filled with the same items. The only item that you have to make a decision on is your shield.


If you want more physical damage mitigation, you can use a rare shield with block and evasion. I "occasionally" use mine, but not often:




If you want more elemental damage mitigation, you can use Saffells shield which gives an additional 31% elemental damage reduction. Yes I said that right, 31% increased elemental damage reduction.

Most characters will have 84% light and fire resists. With Saffells, you'll have 89%. What was hitting you for 16 damage per 100, is now only hitting you for 11 out of 100. 5/16 is 31%. The vast majority of the time, I use my Saffells:





For me, and everybody must make their own decision, but FOR ME, my character is not at all threatended by physical damage. With Light coil and Immortal Call, I see no threat there.

I've chosen to take the extra 31% elemental damage mitigation and use Saffells. The biggest threats to my character are myself through reflect, and Atziri. 31% lowered damage is SOOOOO worth it.

But that's just me.

I can't believe I'm debating with someone who thinks 78 maps are hard. Like it's the pinnacle of the game or something.

I don't know what game you're playing, but yes they are considerably tougher than low maps. You also want to run high quantity maps to keep maintaining your mappool. Goodluck just right clicking in triple damage maps and expecting to survive.

Palace dominus can easily exceed atziri difficulty wise. Cross that, Atziri is outright easy compared to palace dominus with some combinations of mods.

It seems quite obvious you have barely run high maps.
