I bet you use a jmod

my damage kill speed is fine and doesn't need the nominal increase in attack speed

your ability to apply any damage by teleporting to stuff does need help so that's why it's best to go with 99 fcr

it's just about acceptable at that speed imo



the queston was about mana leech vs maek, but trogs like you who live on here muddy the water for people trying to look for clarification, trying to argue

I'm most likely going to get another Opalvein, the +3 maek seems to replenish mana more than the 6ml + small physical damage I do with t strokes + might


there’s no “muddying the waters”

i’m posting factual statements about your awful build in hopes that others don’t read this post and think it’s good

the 68 vs 99 bp isnt really noticeable
and yes use 2x opal, with that u dont need might merc and can run holy freeze for more safety
maek caster gloves are also bis but those are hard to get

since the meta now is farming tz tombs, u wont be able to leech off those undeads anyways


I feel like I noticed it instantly though :/ and I'm reluctant to go back

I should probably test between the two and see for myself

and yeah good point, I should take drain effectiveness into consideration, guess it's maek all the way

imo, 99fcr when you want to rush bosses, 68fcr for regular tz farming

yeah it's good, happily clears p8 tz quickly

I also know I'm not the only person that prefers the fcr over the ias

suppose that's what it is, personal preference, both builds are good, stop being a nerd

imo, 99fcr when you want to rush bosses, 68fcr for regular tz farming


I mean yeah, that's a pretty good approach tbh

maybe I've followed previous advice for something that people use to farm bosses

edit:

so after testing (p8 tz), I do notice the slight delay between teleports, when I go from highlords (55ias/68 fcr) to the caster amulet (35ias/99fcr)

the cs is noticably faster also with 55 ias, and I noticed this in the past at this breakpoint when I had different gear leveling up, and ofcourse because cs does so much potential damage, the increase in speed in maxroll equates to an extra 16K dps

I'll swap between the two to get a better idea, but calling the build trash is a weird over reaction when in your opinion only one item (a HL or a FCR amu) is incorrect and needs swapping out for a small adjustment in numbers

opalvein
rare ring - fcr/6ml/90 mana

using a might merc (infinity)

P8 tz

am I benefitting much from that 6 mana leech, with t stroke and might?


ML is not worth it with tstroke due to the low physical damage. Throw on another opalvein ring.

think I definitely need to do that

edit:

bah, you're all using the old meta

anyone in the know here?


I should probably mention this comment was more towards the guy using raven rather than whoreson boots

and my ignorance that people were now trying to acheive 99fcr, which I was clearly wrong about

What boots are better than "old meta" Raven + War Trav (for the flat dmg not the mf part)? Horazon?

So Horazon boots + 2vein + 2/20 amu are better than HL + 10fcr/6ml/1maek ring+ WT + Raven?

Not sure. Might be wrong.
