TP splitting them one by one until I can fish out the boss.






Someone never taught him that using occy will get you killed. All he did was teleport around and bleed.






Loot:

Oh boy.

This was supposed to be a simple matter of tping as soon as he cast a spell but my idiot merc kept dying instantly to everything BECAUSE HE WOULD NOT STOPSPAMMING FUCKING LIGHTNING HOSE AND FIRESTORM.






I hate to say this but..

I just hit him and ran in a circle and waited for open wounds to kill him.

Video of me running in circles and buying health potions.

ps. sorry if it's blocked in your country. apparently stitched up heart has auto-claimed the video and i got copyright striked.






Some thoughts as we enter the final act.

Nataure had the patience of a saint.
This is not fun.
I wish I had lightning spells.
I wish I had a coh or even that vipermagi I threw away because treachery never procs with mb.






Here are my two options. If I replace treachery I'll need ww lvl 4 + phase blade to hit 11 fpa fireclaws + 7fpa fury.

I don't feel the need to gain +70 vitality from Lionheart, but I'm also losing oak.

Rain gives me +2 wolverine, fire claws, 30% AR, and a little bit of life from lycan.

So I'm not really sure how to use the ias calculator anymore.

Or if I'm missing out on 5fpa because I have my weapon on the wrong side lol?

But basically, I did need level 4 ww for ias cap + just need a bit of AR.

So we went and used the last respec.






Aldurs wep is not worn, so no max block, but it's only a couple levels away.

Also +6 vitality because I'm tired and kept hitting it. Oops.






And 9 points into wolverine, leaving me with the ability to either max out a fire synergy, or put wolverine up higher.

Not sure, honestly. 100% damage and AR seems fine, and the scaling is REALLY bad.

Fire synergy 20 pts??

Also I just realized I kinda ruined any chance of using Lionheart due to burning all 3 respecs.



I really shouldn't have done that because that severely limits my gear choices moving forward.

Sooooo...

I'm about to be able to socket my phase blade. I will double check that I hit max ias with out treachery and then probably hel out my armor and use this bad boy for Rain.






I also need resists now. I don't have an um rune, but I do have 2 pul runes!



I'll probably burn my socket quest on my stupid tal's mask and get my resists up to 42/13/42/-17.

Do I just keep my treachery and make Sanctuary for the resists?
Is 40+ LR/FR enough?
Could I roll a sick prismatic amulet maybe?
Would losing CBF hurt me in any major area of act 5? It's largely useless in pvm unless I'm forgetting something.

Okay I thought about this after a night's rest and a shower and I have 4 options.

Lionheart:

+20% Enhanced Damage (useless)
+25 To Strength (wasted stats)
+15 To Dexterity
+20 To Vitality
+50 To Life
All Resistances +30 (with um, 70+ resists total, do not need to change amulet)
(lose 20% fhr frame)



Rain:

5% Chance To Cast Level 15 Cyclone Armor When Struck (absorbs 208 damage? it's something.. but again, max block)
5% Chance To Cast Level 15 Twister On Striking
+2 To Druid Skills
+Mana
Lightning Resist +30%
Magic Damage Reduced By 7
(need to change amulet to prismatic to reach 70+ resists)
(lose 20% fhr frame)




Prudence

25% Faster Hit Recovery ( another fhr frame)
All Resistances +25-35 (with um, 70+ resists total, do not need to change to pris amulet)
Damage Reduced by 3
Magic Damage Reduced by 17

MDR is good, res is good, fhr is good. Mostly just a lionheart that gives MDR/FHR instead of life. Which is really good for hydras and souls?





Duress

40% faster hit Recovery (+2fhr frames are cool)
+10-20% Enhanced Damage (does this even do anything?)
Adds 37-133 Cold Damage
15% Crushing Blow (21% total)
33% Open Wounds (43% total which seems overkill but idk OW length against baal?)
Cold Resist +45%
Prismatic Resist +15%
(need to change amulet to prismatic to reach 70+ resists)



I don't think anyone bothered last time, but here's a strawpoll if you'd be so kind.

Okay, Duress it is. I'll need the damage for ancients and baal considering how much losing oak hurt my merc.

Not what I had envisioned, but it's... kinda.. uhhh... it's a resist amulet.

I'll just "ral" my tals mask.

I need a chipped sapphire, not this. :c

I'll keep it in case I can gem shrine it to a flawed diamond to mute my Um rune.













Flashbacks to Ellie nearly dying every single run on /p1

I have 10k+ ar with wolverine now so no need.






That's #6 !!






Poison catapults are an inspiring game design.

Boy this was hilariously easy for a fire based character. He went down faster than norm.






And here it is!! After waiting for so long I've actually completed a goal!






AND HOLY GODDAMN SHIT DO I ATTACK FAST WOWOWOW
