Hello, I’m back in the game after a long break. I’m starting to struggle on the level 1400 map. Completing the map takes a long time, and I’m dying frequently. My goal is to reach higher levels and complete maps quickly. I’m asking for your support for this. I like playing with the storm, but the storm alone isn’t enough. Should I get Mana Shield or Skull Shield as my second skill to complete maps more easily? What skill should I get for Mythics? Which sets should I use to complete the map quickly? Also, should I look at DPH or DPS for damage dealt to enemies? My goal is to climb to the upper floors… ![CellaT](https://forums.dungeon-quest.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/b/4b63f3055c78a71452853908291c934a2ab2cd55.jpeg) ---

At higher floors, your raw damage and raw health are irrelevant. Crushing Blow is the easier method to climb damage wise, as it deals damage proportional to the enemy’s HP. For defense, use dodge + sanctuary (I use smokebomb OH for guaranteed dodges). Crushing Flames is therefore very important. ---

use Amethyst to change Crystalline & Nadriji’s Sets to different Set affixes, or replace with Epic or Legend affixes instead. change Timewarp Skill on the Bracer to Taunt (to Taunt enemies into your Storm AoE). a benefit for using Taunt is that you will have more enemies in the Storms AoE who are being affected by Poison Toxic. change Astral Talent on Ring to Magnify Talent for more AoE for Storm & Taunt. Astral would be good on this build if you had All Resist of 3000 or more. Storm has a knockback effect, which means Storm is knocking enemies out of much of the DMG being done by Toxic/Blight. I used Ice Element when I was using Storm. my Taunt moved enemies into Storm Range and enemies that are Freezed wont get knocked back, and they’ll take tons of DMG with Frostbiting. it looks like the build as it is is nerfing Equality Set a lot. Equivalence Mythic will fix the problem or change Equality to something else. Mirrorcast doesn’t work with Storm. there can only be one instance of Storm. a new Storm will cancel/replace the old Storm. one Legend +400% Explosive affix would be good with an Ice Storm/Taunt build. with Epiphany 5, get your Dodge to +70% or +75% and if you can, get Sanctuary Mythic on your Necklace/Amulet. these will help you survive more/die less. what is your Power Stat? Empower 38 Talent will almost double the DMG you get from Power, so higher Power is lots more DMG. Power 5 with Empower 40 = 750 DMG Power 50 with Empower 40 = 7500 DMG Power 100 with Empower 40 = 15,000 DMG hope this helps. ---

a Storms DPH affects it’s DPS. Storm has an Attack Frequency of 0.25, or 4 attacks a second. Storm 10 has 5 attacks a second. Storm 20 has 6 attacks a second. Storm 30 has 7 attacks a second. Storm 40 has 8 attacks a second. Storm lasts for 5 seconds. > [@CellaT](#): > > How can I get rid of this item? My damage is significantly reduced when I use a different item in its place. you would need to look through the LegendEx and find 2 Items that would allow you to have the same amount of Push the Limit as you do with the Eternal Item. and Glasscannon can be rolled with Ruby. on the other hand, if you can make changes without getting rid of the Eternal Item, that is just as good. I didn’t notice it before, but Plagued Set would really increase the DMG/DPS of this build a lot (Plagued Set increases Poison DoT DMG by +25% per Rank for each enemy with Poison DoT). adding one more Blight would also be a huge DMG boost. and having 2 Blights instead of one would make Toxic very powerful for DMG from Plagued boosting Poisons DoT DMG. ---

I have two questions: Is it very difficult to climb to the upper floors without crushing impact and crushing flame? Would the crushing blow and crushing flame found in Hirling be beneficial to me? ---
