What's the easiest soloable 66 map for my build?
Hi all. I just killed Merciless Dominus for the first time (73 Ranger) and want to clear a 66 map if possible to get the achievement before I basically retire from the game. I'm 100% solo play (but not self-found...I've traded for most of my gear).
So I'm looking for the easiest soloable level 66 normal map. My basic build is Ice Shot w/piercing shots for clearing groups, burning arrow for single-target, proj weakness, hatred and haste aura, zombies and decoy totem for distractions. No charges and no crit stacking. And my capped resistance gear if it matters:
Spoiler
I guess the first fundamental question is if I'll get smashed soloing any map with my current setup. I have ~4150 life, with auras Burning Arrow is 5665dps and Ice Shot is 2523dps. I can also swap in Grace for Haste if I need more defenses. I should maybe point out that I didn't have too much of a problem with Dominus until the final Ascendent phase where I got schooled...maybe 5-8 deaths before I got him (and only one from the blood rain). So, any suggestions? According to the map management resource thread (http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/339977), Crypt or Tropical Island are the best entry maps...though Grotto seems to be popular too. I wonder if the fact that my single-target killer is fire-based suggests a boss with less fire resistance? Thanks for reading. Last edited by trentjaspar#4416 on May 18, 2014, 6:57:03 PM

Tropical Island.
You won't get smashed, it's very easy. |

If you can solo Merciless Dominus you'll be able to solo any level 66 map easy.

" Well, I don't know if you read before or after my edit, but I didn't have a problem with Dominus until the final Ascendent phase where I got schooled...maybe 5-8 deaths before I got him (and only one from the blood rain). But I'll still take your post as an encouraging sign...thanks for the reply! Last edited by trentjaspar#4416 on May 18, 2014, 5:46:56 PM

" Two votes for Tropical Island...thanks for the replies, folks. Don't Chieftans (the boss type) have highest fire resistance? Does it matter that my single-target killer is fire-based? |

caypt is also very easy: mostly slow-moving skeletons and zombies, and the boss is the archbishop, a slow-moving unique with no ranged attack, so just shoot, move away a little, shoot again.
just make sure you kill the necros if there are any and you're fine. in my opinion, 66 and 67 maps are way easier than piety or dominus runs. |

crypt desyncs a lot and Bishop' curses can be VERY dangerous coupled with desync.
Tropical Island. the only risk there is Frog Leaper. if you spawn them, just re-roll the map. these are annoying and dangerous. why bother. do not even look at Dunes and Dungeon btw a very nice gear. not top-end but nice in this good way of 'nice' |

" What's wrong with dunes? I consider dunes to be to be the easiest map personally. Wide open spaces with great visibility. Tropical island can be annoying with monkeys running everywhere. |
