I was born to fight and death is my brother. I do not fear him. I see him in the eyes of the men and beasts that I kill. I feel him traveling beside me to this new land, this Wraeclast. He will take me to meet the ancestors when I am ready, and I am not ready.

" That level is around the level where the character gets stronger, I didn't start getting high dps until around level 85 also a thing to keep in mind, Accuracy is extremely important not only for being able to hit monsters, but also: Critical strike chance is calculated based off your accuracy. This means if you have 50% accuracy and 80% crit chance you would assume that if you crit 80% of the time and hit 50% then 40% of your shots would result in a critical strike, however this is not how this works. I am unsure of the exact math, too lazy to look it up but basically accuracy is very important, try to get around 1200-1500 if possible :). Another note, a lot of your gems seem low level or non quality, you will gain a lot of dps from this. After you are done you will be looking at around 5k dps or more with gmp AND chain :) Gotta go fast

Trying to follow this as well .. but atm I fear I'm not remotly rich enough :) Atm my build looks like this:
Items in usw are: Obviously just geared with what I have. I surpisingly had the two BBs already. But obviously, I'm going extremly subpar in levelling farming groups .. to the point where my melee damage is just ridiculously low .. I'm to embarassed to fight alone, I hide my shameful damage in the group :) I have prepared a few items to go wander later ... ones that I could afford: The only 5L I found I could afford - obviously I'm still chromatizing it to become RRGGB. The wand was also fairly affordable, but I could only really pay attention to a bit of lightning damage and a high base crit ... sadly it's a slow wand. Can't switch, yet .. not by a long shot. Tried a somewhat inferior wand and perfromance in a 4L with just elemental weapon damage and GMP was ultrasubpar - I barely dented any monsters :P Obviously though with still little crit chance, not very big multiplier, a slow wand, ni single setup atm etc... I wonder if I can go much further in cruel atm ... I guess I would have to grind more money to get all those crit/accuracy etc items. I don't have any of those crit gloves etc. Looking at the items above me and the poster mentioning low damage I don't even dare to imagine where I will end up atm :) Apropos crit: whats the diff between global and normal crit? I didnt quite get the explanation I read. |

" Global crit is equal to crit you would get in the passive tree, normal or "local" crit directly modify's the weapons base stats(Global crit scales off your local crit, for example 30% local crit on a weapon with 10% base crit would give it 13% crit, if you also had 100% global crit that would give you a total of 23% crit chance). Also a point to note, when my character Doesn't crit, I do very little damage, the crit is almost the entire damage scaling of this build (aside from the overpowered elemental stuff). Gotta go fast

Thanks for the explanations. Not quite sure how you got to 23%, though.. is it just 10 + 10*0.3 + 10* 1.0? Are both local and global just using the weapons base chance?
Yes, I can see how I need to reach 95% crit .. not sure how, yet. I think my gifts ring is helpful? It has crit on it. I also hope my wand is good enough. But I still need crit on basically everything else ... but I try to still combine it with MF. As I'm not rich & relativel casual playing , I can't exactly afford to lose that. I realize this is probably not the best build to go MF because of the heavy gear dependency. How did you level to past 70 with this build, if you say it gets really good only with 85? With all the INT nodes taken so far, the build is extremely weak atm to level. INT seems to do nothing for the build I assume? We don't use mana or ES - it's only useful to be able to actually wield those high end wands, or am I wrong somewhere? |

Ah :) And what did you use to level up to 65+? Atm I have to group for a lot of bosses ... even if it is only the great beast etc. My char is very vulnerable and due to lack of tons of crit gear, only at 15% crit chance .. which means I can't fight these bosses anymore without going out of heal real quick and taking lots of hits. The two BBs are thus not ideal .. range would be better to level up. For melee, this build needs all its good crit & armor equipment already at 40+.
