|||||IMPORTANT 3.23 AFFLICTION CHANGES |||||
For Campaign use Oath of the Maji and place no Gems in your Boots for a 30% Movement Speed boost or
in Helmet for +50% All Res
To get the first 2 Ascendency Points you just need to find the NPC
For Affliction Ascendency use the Majin of the Wilds
Coated Blade -> Nature's Concoction -> Detect Evil -> Wildwood Blessing (?)
For Coated Blade replace Diamond Flask and get Suffix wit Crit Chance instead of Curse Effect to an adjacent Flask
Prefered Adjacent Flask Silver & Quicksilver for zoom or Quicksilver & Jade for improved Surv and bit of zoom
Detect Evil will likely help with Legion & Affliction Clear
Wildwood Blessing
We don't know how strong Barkskin is, but from what they said, it could likely replace Grace/Determination as Defensive Aura or be used additionaly when attempting to level up
R.I.P Kaom's Spirit, we had a lot of fun together.
We will be sticking with Shadow & Dust for lategame, Passive Tree & Gear has been adjusted.
Helmet Enchant are GONE instead getting 20 Quality on BOTH Lightning Arrow and Tornado Shot VERY IMPORTANT!
Activ Gems cannot be GCP Flipped anymore, pick up Gems with Quality to stack up on GCPs.
Support Gems can still be GCP Flipped
Transfigured Gems
~~ We don't know what Tansfigured Gems are yet, but Section will be updated once we have full list ~~
Gem Alt Quality
Support Gems have all Default Quality with Exception of Inspiration Divergent Inspiration at 10% Quality is the same as 20% Quality in 3.23
Added SnooBAE85 & Ruetoo Warlord Mark CoC Setup including Interogation into the Endgame Setup
Personaly will still recommend using Totems till Damage is strong enough
Feel free to try it out befor Endgame, if Mapping feels smooth you are good to go!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
USE ANGER OR HASTE, CAN'T USE BOTH
We use Haste for easy maps, once the build is strong, if you struggle with Damage or keeping Trinity up use Anger
||| When to do the Swaps |||
|| Crit Swap ||
To Crit Swap you just need enough Passive Points to allocate all the Crit Nodes and Spec out the Precise Technique
It is also recommended to upgrade your Rares to their good State.
Refer to my Crafting Video or Crafting Guides how to craft them yourself.
|| Tornado Shot Swap ||
To swap from Lightning Arrow to Tornado Shot use Level 20 Tornado Shot , Chain & Greater Multiple Projectile and try a Map with it
If both Clear and Single Target feel good, you are ready to swap. If you feel a significant decrease in either Clear or Single Target, do not swap yet. Get some Upgrades first.
REMEMBER TO RESPEC THE PIERCE NODES ON TREE AND REPLACE FOCAL POINT WITH RICOCHET
At any Point pre or shortly after swap get your Clusters Crafted or Buy.
Once you on Tornado Shot also quickly buy the Tornado Shot Helmet Enchantment or a Helm with it.
I would also recommend getting 1 additional Projectile Tattoo here.
|| Omni Swap ||
Once you have Crystalised Omniscience and the Fracture & Essence Crafted Body Armour and Boots aswell as a good Brutal Restraint or Lethal Pride, you are ready to swap, just make sure your Res are Capped and you have enough Omni.
To stay Res Capped you need atleast 1 Taming & one T2+ Resistance Roll for each Element from my Experience, will get easier once you have a Mageblood. Alternativly you can use a Flask with All Res Suffix, however if you miss anything in a Map it likely kill you while looting.
|| Gem Upgrades ||
For your Gem Upgrades I would priotise Awakend Greater Multiple Projectile and Awakenend Fork OR Awakenend Chain
Go with what Cheaper or Personal Preference. My Favorite is Awa. Fork due to Arrow Math
At any point after you can grab
Awakenend Elemental Damage with Attacks and Awakenend Added Cold Damage.
You can also replace Trinity with Awakened Elemental Damage with Attacks Level 5 to be able to run Reflect Maps, however in my experience I still die in those Maps anyway so i still reroll them.
|| Mageblood Swap ||
Once you have Mageblood you can adjust your Flasks and rest of Gear to increase Omni while keeping your Resistance.
|| Endgame Upgrades ||
The Rest of Upgrades can be done in any order
Massive Thread of Hope
Forbidden Flame and Forbidden Flesh for any of the 5 Deadeye Nodes to include Focal Point back into the Build
Check all and buy the cheapest.
Improve Gear
Another +1 Projectile Tatoo
Corrupted Blood Inspired Learning + Progenesis
1.4K + Ele DPS Bow [ w/ +2 Arrow optional | Mirror Tier Bow ]
||| Leveling Section |||
Look for Essence of Anger, Wrath, Hatred, Woe, Greed
Look for Bow Upgrades every few Level and use Essence to upgrade Bow to Rare
Use Essence of Woe on Quivers for % Bow Damage
During Campaign, if you find a Vaal Side Area, run it and look for
Vaal Ice Shot or Vaal Lightning Arrow
Optional Vaal Rain of Arrows, not feeling as good, but still high DPS
and use that Skill for rest of Campaign, once in Maps look for
Vaal Lightning Arrow specificly
To have higher odds, look for 2 GGG one Hand Weapons
and buy 6x Lightning Arrow in Act 6 to Vaal when you find Vaal Orbs.
|| Act 1 || 3 Wisdomws & 3-5 Transmutes
Look for G-G-G, G-G-R and Runner Boots first few Town Visits
You need generaly a few Red Sockets and MANY Green Sockets.
If you aren't looking for perfect campaign time, use a Body Armour early to help with Socket Pressure.
Look for any Link GGR One Hand Weapons to have in Offhand to place Leveling Gems
You need a Lapis Amulet in Act 1 or 2, check when you grab Lightning Arrow and when you grab 2. Quicksilver Flask
