[2.6] The Roadrunner -- Lab Speedrunner and BossKiller [w/ Videos]
|
with 5k life a hit needs to do more than 7100 damage to kill you (when you calculate in Mind over matter)
Spoiler
Maximum HP = 0.7 * Maximum hit taken 5000 = 0.7 * Maximum hit taken 5000/0.7 = Maximum hit taken Maximum hit taken = 7142 With 6000 HP, that would go up to 8500. Note that for this math to be correct you'll need: Maximum hit taken - Maximum HP = Maximum mana needed 7142 - 5000 - Maximum mana needed 2142 mana unreserved. (That's with 5000 HP) | |

Cruel Preperation is an efficient node to take, I believe. From the current skilltree,
it takes 3 points to reach and we get 15% hp and 5% to all res. I´m at 4,7K HP now, all my gear has high life rolls on it. Since I specced out of the Assassin start, dmg feels kinda low. I´m gonna level a little more and then I´m gonna do Merciless Lab. And when I believe my HP is high enough and my gear is optimized, I´ll attempt Uber. Overall there are a couple of skillnodes in the finalized tree , that I probably won´t take. I specced out of Nullification as the energy shield does nothing for us and it´s 5% life for 2 nodes. All resi and eva is good, but i rather sacrifice the evasion rating and get more life. Also , I am thinking about grabbing Acro and Phase Acro. That would be a hefty 7 Point investment though. Don´t know if that´s worth it. The branch into the duelist area to grab Bravery is also in question right now, from a life point of view. For 5 Points we get 13% life. That´s 2,6% life per node. I don´t think that´s worth it. Art of the Gladiator gives us 6% movementspeed technically, because without that node, we would get the penalty from shield and Body ARmour which is 6% each. So for 5 points we get 13% and 6% movement speed. I think I don´t give a shit about losing these 6% MS and I rather invest in more efficient life or damage nodes. |

" Evasion = MS. The whole point of the build is to blaze through uber lab and farm it super quick. If I wanted to make the build more tanky I'd have specced out most of the evasion nodes, grabbed the missed 5% life nodes on tree and went acrobatics. That would obviously lower the speed of the build greatly (QotF, eva=MS) which kind of kills the point of the build as a lab farmer. |

" You will get plenty of HP with levels. Belts with a lot of life and res are going for few chaos bought the first one for few chaos leather belt and then bought this one for a bit more two days ago the flask mod on belt is not mandatory and more cherry on top. The ring with some cute rolls can be a bit expensive but you doesn't need all of them ( watch my crappy two stone rings for more informations :D ) Here are my gears they are far from beeing optimized and i'm running on a 5L ( level 93 now ): As you can see you don't need much investements to get started, you have to remember having lower hp doesn't mean you can't farm uber Izaro it just mean it will be a bit less comfortable. I started to farm it at level 85 with way worse gears than that. Now i can carry up to 4 players ( failed my attempt with 5 players ). If you want to improve your survability it will be also trought the damages from gems levels. Beeing able to kill Izaro fast is the best defense layer :) I'm at 5.3k HP with scourge + shield setup and a bit less with dual obliteration. Hope it can help :) Hf :) Last edited by Heli0nix on Apr 5, 2017, 4:05:40 AM

Shit, now I feel like I was talking out my ass ? lol.Are guys consistently doing Uber on HC ?If so I´ll just stfu and accept my fate once Izaro fucks me.Because then I can rest assured that it was me and not the build. If 2 dudes in here are doing that, I´ll just follow the build and might even gofull Yolo with Devoto´s and a second Obliteration.
edit: At which level did you guys start to farm uber comfortably? Last edited by NoDiscoSisqoOrCalypso on Apr 5, 2017, 6:37:42 AM

" I'm not playing HC, but am able to do Uber lab very quick and deathless recently. (I started doing Uber lab at around 86). Because I'm lazy to dodge and still want to use this char to do some maps, I took a different approach to this build: I took Vaal Pact, and leech with Warlord's Mark & Atziri's Promise. This way, I can facetank Uber Izaro and T15 bosses with just 4k4 HP & 2k mana (will try Shaper & Guardians when I'm bored lol). For Uber lab, I will avoid some deadly combo, other than that, I feel confident facetank everything. You can take a look at my char MazeHater for more info. And sorry if my English is bad. | |

Had the itch to get a pathfinder happening again this league so giving this a shot. Thanks for the well written guide OP.
In terms of uber lab I started aggressively farming it at about lvl 81 (i'm in softcore btw). by 83 i was carrying 3 people no probs on 300 ping in rippy izaro runs (conduits/fonts/charges) without issue. It's surprisingly tanky and very forgiving IF: a) you actually remember that you're playing the flask ascendancy and actually use the as opposed to mindlessly facetanking izaro. b) You remember that you have such crazy speed you can reposition instantly which means when you take the occasional big hit, you give yourself some distance and a few seconds to gain all your health/mana back. i was fairly lucky as I already had mostly decent gear but am also only on a 5 link (missing void manipulation). I think i'll probably do this as a league starter next league. It's all pretty common/easy to farm gear except for scourge and you could easily change that for something else to get started. Anyways thanks for the build op and well done :) Last edited by gote66666 on Apr 5, 2017, 7:32:26 AM

" Wow, I wasn't even streaming or posting builds during prophecy. I guess we met up through a lab carry or something? That witch was fun, but used what is now the legacy voidheart, and EQ before the nerfs, and fully buffed curses before boss nerf, ... Smoke mine is best used in long zones (it lasts for 15s, but takes some time to place and detonate the mine). Phase run can be used after smoke mine or by itself for shorter zones when the extra 30ms from smoke mine doesn't make up for the mine placement and detonation time. |

" I will look to do this soon, as well as a video of a lab run. Edit: Added a t10 map run and demo lab run (section 'Videos'). As mentioned in the post, I will add videos of other boss kills soon. Last edited by itsMartini on Apr 5, 2017, 6:11:56 PM

" I have now completed the lab around 500 times on this character. I have never died to Izaro or Argus. I died once to traps while reading chat and standing in roombas. I died once to the snowflake reflect aura on the cold lieutenant (after Izaro was dead, wasn't paying attention). The build is very safe, and the important thing to realize is that with MoM and over 2k mana, 5k+ hp is quite a lot. |
