Well chaos damage is fucked.

If you want an item farmer character and you're in a softcore league, you build for lots of damage and clear speed and minimum defenses, slap some rarity and quantity (item rarity gem, aurseize, maybe goldwyrm boots and two decent ventors) and farm the fuck out of mid tier maps (yellow ones), not worrying about dying.

Tanky character means more gear requirements and much slower clear speed.

Your income = clear speed * item rarity / quantity. You're hamstringing yourself with the tank build if you want to farm.

Thanks for the help. I guess I'm specced between two worlds because I also want the guy to be a viable character overall for leveling himself, he's moreso the only item farmer because he's by far the highest leveled guy I have.

When Prophecy hits I'm probaly power leveling a spellcaster and focus on ranged nuking. Kills oneself less than melee nuking :p Should be much more easy to farm that way I assume.

Ranged is generally superiour. It gets more screen coverage and better clear speed. However, if you're melee, you can go reave, coc cyclone or earthquake with increased AOE. They also get the job done.

But I would stick with a ranged caster if I were on a budget, they are easier to level with minimum gear if you're not concerned with duying every now and then.

I was going to recommend rerolling in Prophecy, but didn't want to talk you into something you didn't have time for :P

I'd recommend Earthquake or a spell caster as well.

Where are you guys finding the skill changes? I can't find it on the website at all.

Front page; All Chaos conversation is nerfed across the board lol

It's less about people knowing the specifics, but rather knowing enough about broad general things to infer what the ending point looks like.

GGG's balance philosophy is to make an impactful change, then sit back for 3-4 months and live with the results. They tend not to hotfix things mid-challenge league for balance's sake. So if they make Incinerate too strong, or Voltaxic too good, or whatever, they let players have their fun for those months, then they fire a bazooka at it.

They said chaos conversion is getting nerfed. You don't need details to know that it's getting nuked.

I already know the details :P literally says

CHAOS IS FUCKED on the monitor

Hheheheheheheh

People keep saying they think items will be nerfed, but I would interpret "across the board" as meaning that the mechanic itself will be getting nerfed like the changes to leech. Hopefully it's a less modifier to damage instead of altering the conversion percentages.

They gonna nerf chaos damages in "every possible ways". Ho wait, that remind me something...
