|||||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
Pre MFing:
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
Added SnooBAE85 & Ruetoo Warlord Mark CoC Setup including Interogation into the MF Setup
Personaly will still recommend using Manaforged till Damage is strong enough
Feel free to try it out befor high Investment, if Mapping feels smooth you are good to go!
Charms:
Charm Nodes we are looking for
Prefixes
Adrenaline on Low Live
2-3x +1 Projectile | VERY EXPENSIVE
Alternative
Crit Multi at maximum Power Charges
Onslaught on Kill
Suffixes
Recover % Life on Flask use
Elemental Reflect immune
Flask Charge on Killed Enemy affected by Ailments
Phasing on Kill
USE SECRETS OF SUFFERING ONLY FOR RAGE TECH
if you plan to try out the Warlord's Mark CoC Setup use Interogation, otherwise
use the Temple Gloves and freeze, it' is ok to grab temple gloves first use them and while testing Interogation to keep the Gloves, if you are unsure if you gonna keep the Rage Tech in.
SPECTRE SETUP
Perfect Guardian Turtle | Determination
Perfect Warlord | Vitality & Endurance Charges
Perfect Meatsack | Minion Life for all Minions
Perfect Spirit of Fortune | Wrath & Lucky Lightning Damage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
|| MF Upgrades ||
You can upgrade to MFing pre Headhunter, but is generally recommended to farm up a HH first, feel free to swapout Boots or Rings for Quantity tho, if your damage and resistances are covered.
||| 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
