Melee Newby Guide To Get Your Gear With 1-2 Exalts. (Docks/Maps)

You can do low level maps even with shitty gear if you know how to play. But, If you don't all you have to really do is get 2 rings 1 ammy. get good resist on them and u wont need as much on your armor. Don't worry about chaos. That's for the high rollers and end gamers. Your just starting. I mean hell I can do level 75 maps with the gear I got. (Mostly due to my weapon and health.) But, you just need a "decent" weapon. 5 links go for like a chaos now. U just gotta have patients. So, grind alts/Chroms/jewlers and exchange them in later for chaos/gcps. (People say chaos is so useless...well only to people at end game were they don't have to roll there gear no more. It took me 9 chaos to roll my sword (Will post) And while grinding you may find endgame gear. It all depends. I hope it igves you guys a little insight I'm not good at writing a detailed guide :( But, here is my gear. I don't think one piece is endgame gear at all.

My Gear


================
The 2 weapons I used before the erki(Which the erki cost a lot) was the mace at first. then the sword i rolled with chaos.



My Build Remember this is not a guide to do my build...just to show you what I have done.


Idk why my pictures won't show. :( If a mode could fix it plox. ty.

I try to make sure I could max out my auras and use blood magic/reduced mana gems to kinda cancle each other out with out going for the blood magic node which almost gives you loss of all auras. I decided to run cyclone just do to it being fun. It's really all I use I don't touch my Endurance Charges,Heavy Strike,Leap Slam. I use Leap Slam to move out of situation or to jump over ledges. Heavy Strike when i just fill like changing it up. (I cyclone on bosses)

(If You are a melee player. You have to have max resist and some good HP for Merc. Its just something you need. Even if your dmg is shitty you still can survive.)

Is this wall of text suppose to convey any message or have any relevant points?
Because it doesn't.
Thanks for throwing in your 2 cents that you don't need chaos res and "You gotta find friends that will run places you are having trouble running."

Best, guide, ever.

Way to be a dick. The guy was just trying to help out. This community's reputation gets worse and worse by the day.

Indeedz

I think the point is: Don't lust for supergear when you are new. It will come in time. By the time it does you have plenty of experience and know what you really need.

Playing 2h mace on default ? Thats like playing Easy mode on easy mode

What does this have to do with the post? Fucking assholes.

OP thanks for your time man. I'm sure this can help out some newer players.

While i understand that this is trying to be helpful, it's literally a non-guide.
If you want to make a guide that's actually helpful, go into the mechanics of how to get a decent amount of starting currency and gear, what kind of mods you should be rolling and what tiers of them you should be happy with, how much you should be spending on each gear slot at certain stages, etc.

Yup no. Just hoping some new players who are in there 40-50's read this and helps them a bit. They don't need to go overboard with there gear.
