ok, so usually on reset i take a look at new items/mechanics and kinda start playing like that before heading to max roll when i stagnate at t1.

so balazans and razor plate were literally no brainer, i mean just reading about pants you would know have to use razor.

Here's my issue, headed to max roll, redid my paragons/glyphs but for the life of me I can not figure out why it doesnt use kepeleke to spam quill indefinetly?

the only reason is can find is qax runes bonus for using all primary for resource

Now there build has improved my progress but have tried both with legendary and kepeleke and cant find a reason to not use.

Is anyone using it with quill build?

My assumption is the tempers. There are tempers that you can ONLY get on weapons and off hands and if you Masterwork those tempers, they can double your damage on their own {if you're lucky enough to hit the masterworks}. Take the Hydra Sorc for example. You can have double the amount of hydra heads, which pushes your damage double when taking into consideration the Iris.

So likely instead of indefinitely spamming, you're taking advantage of the Tempers and hitting much harder.

I think I’ll just have to progress going back and forth between them to see.

It seems like such a no brainer so has to be a reason I’ll probably notice as I push for my 100 level glyphs.


The jaguar hall temper is big.

Unfortunately with work right now my time to play is at a minimum.

You and I both dude. It's a struggle trying to find ways to grind but also having to be this adult thing. Toys R Us had it right all those years ago.

Found the plateau where unlimited spam of quill doesn’t nothing.. about its pits 30-32, so slightly above t2.

I knew unlimited quill was to good to be true lol

Yeah, if you can't scale the damage higher than the scaling of the monsters % wise, you can only do so many casts per minute. You need the casts to then be stronger. The jumps from T1-T2-T3-T4 are too great. So you have to find that niche thing. This season and recent seasons has been revolving around tempers and having enough paragon points to get to the Legendary nodes and Yellow nodes, then using your tempers to double/triple that damage since Overpower is nerfed into the ground.
