How to progress effectively at the very beginning of the game [The Duct Tape Build] [Hybrid PvE/PvP]

Im on floor 290 legend and still cant found anything :frowning: …thinking bout creating rogue just to farm that…

Dang yo that is some less the cooperative RNGesus :T and I mean if you think you can outfit the rogue easily go for it :smile:

If I reach floor 300 and still haven’t gotten it. I might just do that:)
Have so much stuff in my inventory at the moment anyway, and I was considering turning my warrior into a fortune runner of some sorts, with a sidekick. Tried this wiz build along side with my warrior, spamming taunt. Seems to do well, but still - the wiz is close range - it might not be able to take the heat later on if it’s not micromanaged properly.
Maybe a long range rogue is the way to go ^ ^
One thing is for sure - I’m not running out of stuff to do in this game the next couple of minutes, :wink:

First Of all, 500k hp is nearly imposible without nadroji’s stone, nadroji’s crystal/frightening choker and 2 Elixer mythstones. You would need to stack plagued with other hp-boosting set affixes. Not sure if that’s entirely worth it.

As far as Nadroji and Frightening choker go, I have been to floor 575+ on easy difficulty and seen nothing. Been through 2 ascendtions, took Dealer and The perk that boosts luck/goldfind/pickup radius. My luck is over 700% boosted, and I run 200+ packsize maps on mythic 1-2 no problem. Never seen the choker or a single peice of nadroji gear. I got impatient and stuck an elixer on my ring. I get farming… I do… but I think some items are bugged.

Either that, or I am simply hot patient enough… although when I have spent over 100 hours on the game and farmed on my off days… not entirelysure I want to be “patient” for months. I give up on those peices. Im building reactor sets for my other toons.

Oh, and if anyone HASNT bought the premium stashes yet… do it. Best decision next to the Auot Map Reveal. About as useful as air. :slight_smile:

I attached a rogue hireling to my wizard. At the moment it’s basically doing nothing other than leeching exp, but since I brought the hireling a long, it has leveled from 0-84, and it has gotten 20+ “rogue” epics, which is more than my wiz has gotten from 0 to map level 300.
Not the choker sadly, but at least it’s an improvement.
It feels like it makes a difference at least, even despite the fact, that I have a very low mf.
/Wack

Here’s a brief touch up, of my run with this build so far. Started with very few proper wizard items, but some crystals, so that I was able to reroll affixes on the items I found along the way.
These are my items so far:

I honestly don’t feel like I have amazing gear so far, and I’m missing e few of the “required” items still.
That said, its POWERING through the game at the moment. Map lvl 310, and not slowing down.
What I wanna say by this is:
If you’re new or considering a wizard, but dunno where to start, then this guide is brilliant, and will most definately get you started!!

Wack ever since i put discordance affix into my gear i notice i deliver my damage faster.
.perhaps if discordance , druidic and ignore resist is put together it will be too good to pass up Explosive would be very nice too but it can be put into another gear

This is my thought process at the moment. ‘Plagued’ is on my necklace at the moment. At some point, I’m hoping to get the choker, but then I’ll, be missing ‘plagued’. I had this as a drop a while ago:


Giving me plagued, but then I’ll be missing out on explosion as you mention. The issue with the item is that it has the set(4) bonus from plagued, which I’ll be missing out on - Unless I implement this in my build:

But who knows, maybe something else will drop before I even reach that point:p It’s the beauty of this game imo!:slight_smile:

Is it possible to put discordance in the chest? Wack
If thats not possible , may i suggest finding a chest with 4 socket and put discordance on it cuz the part of the build is reactor discordance and plagued…then as time pass you can put ignore resist and explosive on it.

What I was thinking was to take my existing chest piece:


Use kyanite on it, until I only have ‘druidic’ + ‘ignore resist’ left and then add 4 sockets using zircon and go from there.
Dunno if it’s a viable solution, but it’s something I considered:)

That should definitely work! make sure you have some HP and MP regen on gear afterwards since you need it for druidic to have an effect :smile:

Leave just druidic and ignore resist. Then get rid of the rest of them and add discordance and add them back in slowly

The brontes ring crushing blow affix can be changed into mp regen and the slow projectile could also be changed into hp regen or mana whichever way suits you

The problem about leaving in the brontes ring, instead of the nadroji ring is that I’ll be missing out on the plagued bonus on the tome that i plan on using.
But who knows, as I said - a lot can happen drop-wise before i get the choker necklace, that will trigger the remake of all the items:P

Woot! Oh wait…level 1 :grimacing::joy:

sweet!:slight_smile:

Or wait - you cant lvl an eternal to Ilvl 100 can you?

Haha! It’s better then you might think actually since your power stat is WD+ that weapon actually works super well even as a level 1 :smile:

Just one of my bazillion stupid questions here, since I would love to level this to 100 if possible

No unfortunately you cannot :smile:
