[3.26] BAMA Update! Guardian Shrine Tech and Mercs. Day 1 & 2 Recap

-=REMINDER THAT YOU CAN USE GOLD TO RESPEC AND HUNT FOR 4 LINK BASES AND WANDS=- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -=Other Options to Level as=- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MINIONS ARE BAD TO LEVEL WITH I DID MY BEST BUT YOU CAN SEE ALL MY TESTING ON TWITCH SORRY I CAN'T MAKE MINIONS GOOD WITHOUT A 4-Link Absolutiuon is better than Srs so I recommend this for both Witch and Guardian but you can do srs if you want to. Srs is good at clear but you need to constantly switch out infernal legion/melee splash/melee phys on tanky rares or bosses to do good single target Rolling Magma is the best option if you want to go fast from 1-27 then switch to Fire Storm and copy the setup below ONLY RUN THIS VERSION IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING IT'S FASTER BUT VERY SPECIFIC TO LEVEL AS... IT'S FINE TO JUST WEAR GOOD ADDED FIRE DAMAGE TO SPELLS WANDS/SCEPTRES INSTEAD 1.You need an Axe and Sword with %increased attack speed and an OPEN Prefix it doesn't need to be amazing just above 1.60 aps ideally. The DAMAGE ROLLS DO NOT MATTER! 2. The Speedrun strat is available when you enter act 3 and get the added fire damage to spells recipe in Solaris Temple Level 2. 3.Then craft fire damage to spells on both weapons and from here you can wear these until Bloody Aquadects. In total you need 10 Transmutes just to craft the fire damage to spells and buy leap slam/faster attacks from Library. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -=My Transfigured Gem Plan=- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The good news is that Mirror Arrow and Blink Arrow of Bombardment can be turned into one another by vendoring the gem and an Alteration orb to flip the version from Mirror Arrow-->Blink Arrow or Blink Arrow--->Mirror Arrow The other good news is that because this is THE ONLY transfigured gem with 2 versions it's very easy to either farm from lab or just buy from people. For example last league you could buy this gem on leaguestart by Act 5 for 2c in Softcore Necropolis so I personally would just play firestorm until I could buy the gem instead of farming lab now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -=Basic Bama Info=- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rain of arrows is the skill BAMA uses, without aoe it hits around 9ish times with all 3 summoned but with conc effect it's closer to 3.5+ which ends up being 10-11 but it's REALLY hard to know how often, BUT it is confirmed that conc effect IS BETTER for single target endgame bossing -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -= Animate Guardian Gear / Info =- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you don't have Cadigans Crown unique helm equipped to the Animate Guardian he will die every couple of maps to the chaos dot. Since he won't lose items on death this isn't that big a deal anymore so either you can do. 1.Just let him die every few maps and resummon 2.Get chaos res/life regen on gloves/boots early on to help him survive a bit more 3.Just ignore him your playing BAMA your early/mid game will be easy even without him. Cheap gear to start Leer Cast Dying Breathe Belly of the beast Southbound Boots with chaos resist -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -= SPECTRES AND LOCATIONS =- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For some reason POB only lets 1 spectre buff pop up for example if you run Perfect Fortune and Guardian Turtle you should have 32mil dps and 10k armour. Wild Bristle Matron (the big purple bear) From Tier 3 Harvest. When he roars he does a stupid as fuck 40% reduced action speed slow. I use this against bosses when I feel like my damage is more than enough. Spectral Leader can only be obtained from t17 maps OR if you allocate Invasive Adversaries on the atlas tree. He casts srs and runs around but his buff is 20% increased action speed for allies inside the aura he provides. Arena Master from Drox maps the buff is 20% increased Damage, Attack, Cast and Movement Speed. BUT the uptime is only 4 seconds on a 8 second cd still worth running though for the damage. Spirit of Fortune grans Wrath Aura and gives your BAMA Lucky damage which is why you don't have to use Perquils Toe as Necro. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -= Enduring Cry Off Hand Tech =- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the start of a map you have 0 Endurance Charges most of the time after you get to MAX charges you'll stay at max for a map/bosses SOOOO weapon swap to use Redblade shield and use Enduring Cry the shield grants Warcries Infinite Power which means enduring cry will give you endurance charges and then you can weapon swap back to BAMA and game. You don't HAVE to do this but I recommend it.
