Because I converted his offer to GCP.
Exalted Orb = 6 GCP Divine Orb = 3 GCP 3 Chaos Orbs = 1 GCP 6 Alchemy Orbs = 1 GCP
Think he had a few other things, but those are the big ones.

I see, is this the same for hardcore? Or are things more skewed in hardcore.

My current phys bow Ranger build. I'm going for all the movement speed nodes because it's awesome. In 4 levels I'll have the last 3 movement speed nodes and I'm wondering what my best next step is. Main thing I want to know is if it's important that I grab all the +bow damage nodes, or should I only focus on the ones that give the most +dmg/points invested. Some of the clusters have less damage but include things like accuracy, missile speed, attack speed, and crit chance.
Anyone know if there are diminishing returns on things like accuracy?
I'm planning to run something like Frenzy + LMP + Pierce + Faster Attacks as I get closer to 60-70. Would it be worth it to spend the 6 points to get the last Maximum Frenzy Charge Notable, and if i get that I might get Armor Master for more movespeed.
I'm also not too sure how much I should invest into life nodes, and if I should get evasion at all. I admit I die a bit more than I'd like to random 1-shots and things like that (rocking 600 health in A2 cruel) but with a bit of quicksilver not much can really hit me.
|
You need a lot more life than that or pretty much everything (especially physical reflect mobs) is going to one shot you as you progress. I only play on HC so that probably colors it a bit but you still shouldn't be playing with the expectation that dying is possible because the exp penalty on merciless is going to make leveling hellish. Movespeed is also not a very optimal defensive stat because there will be things like Flicker strike mobs that you simply can't outrun so I think a lot of those movespeed nodes could be reinvested into life.
|
Frenzy builds are fun. I have one that uses conduit with max frenzy charges for a fun group focused build. After a few initial shots with frenzy I spam Rain of Arrows. Using Decoy Totem for aggro (not sure if skele totem would be better for this). BUT, I am afraid of reflect mobs later on so my highest char atm is a very safe double ice totem/trap/frost wall templar build. :D

It seemed ok but I've in fact no idea. Usually "random resist" can be worth a lot!  15% spell damage and 5 % fire damage are very low numbers and thus rather insignificant. 15 int is good for a caster and even though it is very low 2 % energy shield is an ok stat. 55 maximum life is pretty good at most levels. What itemlevel are we talking here and what level are you? If you are level 55+ it is a bit of a letdown.

Man, I haven't been able to find one replacement for the WHITE 2h maul I found at the beginning of A2, and I'm already starting A3..

All the rolls are too low for it to be high item level (or if it is you got really unlucky). The fact that he exalted a resist is pretty lucky though. Wouldn't pay 2 chaos for a caster amulet without cast speed. Especially not when you can get almost double that spell damage roll.

You did upgrade it though right? If you rolled good mods on it, it may take a while to find a suitable replacement. But yeah, sometimes you get unlucky and can't find a decent white to upgrade in order to replace it.

Assuming you're in cruel or merciless the level ranges between acts really slows down. The weapons are tiered in such a way that the next weapon isn't a significant upgrade and is often just an attack speed difference with a minor DPS boost. Generally this means that you don't actually want an upgrade until 10 levels later or so when you're getting an upgrade with the same attack speed (the highest one for that weapon class).

So... About the build I was planning, the fast farming speed is achieved, 110% movement speed with quicksilver flask.

Man yesterday was a lucky day!
Got Reduced Mana Requirements off a mob while doing vaal to get to Cruel act 3. Just what i needed :D
