[Guide] Low-life leveling without Lorica/Shavs and transitions

Finally can use this shield but now I have problem what auras put here. 3 purities leaves only 10% life and thats basiccally = rip vs chaos mobs. Discipline + 1 purity + reduced mana lvl 3 = 66% reserved so this would work but then 1 slot is wasted in shield.

Really cant decide where to put what and dont wanna waste chromes before deciding. The helm will be hard to get correct colors for auras.

Any sugestions?

EDIT:
OK, I put my auras like in my gear below:


But I have big problem now, I cant run clarity. In your gear summary I saw you dont use clarity and I wonder how the hell you can sustain casting arc? I dont see much mana regen also on your gear.

I made my own low life with shavs/lorica with a budget of 1ex per item (except links). Going with freezing pulse atm. Check video below for demo in 77 map with chaos bombers and chaos ground.

For stuns i use Leo master craft on helm:



+ Heart of the Oak from the passive tree. I also have about 2400 base HP which is what the stuns are based of, not the reserved. So when at monster hit me for 50% of max hp, 1200 HP it should in theory always stun. But Energy shield gives 50% stun avoidance, helm craft gives 34% stun avoidance, and heart of the oak gives 30%. This means i have 0,5*(1-0,34+0,3) = 0,18 = only 18% chance to be stunned when a mob hits me for 1200 hp. So i rarely get stunned, and almost never chain stunned.

I also have 5% life regen, and blood rage only drains about 1% of max hp with 75% chaos res so i have almost free frenzy charges for 15% cast speed, which also will buffed in 2.0. So i have 4% life regen which is about 100 hp/s at my current life values.

With shotgun removal i might try ice spear with gmp/chain (they got massive buffs) for clearing and a 4L Glacial cascade for single target. But time will tell.

I'm at about 19K GMP dps with freezing pulse right now at lvl 90 and not lvl 20 gems yet. I think i will cap at about 24K GMP dps, 7K es and 2.5k base life with a few levels and lvl 20 gems with no new gear, which is quite nice. Also i can sustain lvl 21 AA for defense.

Altough gear is very cheap, you need very specific rolls to make the most of it, so gearing can be a bit hard.

Price reference for my gear:

Helm- 1 ex
Amulet - 1ex (+1 ex ES craft)
Chest - 30c (+1 yolo ex for max life and fuses for links)
Wand - 15c
Shield - 10c
Belt - 15c
Boots - 10c
Dream frags - 15c
Ring - 5c (+1 ex ES craft)
Maligaros - 15c

thanks for the reply.. it makes sense now.

after the patch tomorrow in beta i will try to run an ice spear build.

i will level up as a life caster with acro-evasion-phase acrobatics and the main skill will be something like this:

ice spear-lmp/gmp-cold pen-increased crit damage-hypotermia-spell echo

for buffs i will use:

herald of thunder-curse on hit-Assassin's Mark
herald of ice-ice bite-culling strike
chaos golem-blind-minion life

for cwdt setup
cwdt-frost wall-cold snap ?? i dont know what i can use here ? immortal call ? but then again i would to self cast enduring cry which i dont like and defeats the purpose of the build which is offscreen freeze/kill enemies so they can't reach me.

for single target i think i will go with trap-cold snap-increased duration or something like that

Any update for 2.1?

Any updates for 2.2 ?

Any updates for 2.3 ?


P.S. Just kidding :P
