It takes a long time to get gems to level 20

Ya I figure I don't have to run all the purity's in the meantime.

What does the totem do and what/where is my hideout?

The totem is just a visual representation of your progress in the challenges. Once you get any of the masters to level 2 you can find them in town and create a hideout with them. Check out:

My account name is RaiseYourWhat. My character's name in Bloodlines was RidingCoffeeToMerciless because I planned on reaching merciless during the first 24 hours of the league (which I barely missed by one hour because coffee failed to do its job of keeping me awake for long enough ).

I'm probably not going to make a new one before the weekend, though. When I make a new character I usually like to have time to grind for long enough to at least get to cruel act 3 during the first session, and I'm not that good of a racer.

I haven't played a witch in a while, and I'm feeling some sort of spell caster build. Will do some build research/theorycrafting and then probably come back Friday or Saturday.

Tx Beans, I'm green as grass so I appreciate the help.

Implies frozen sky will become less dangerous

I guess it's tone to play the new league and discover all the new ways of dying.

The vendor recipes are a pretty easy challenge this time around... Start buying up those white iron rings boys.

The regal one is still going to be a pain

Yikes, turns out that I can't tank that rainy crit stuff from sky level 60 vaal unique. Kind of just expected to stand still and kill him. (didn't die, just quite painful)

So I'm sure a lot of you guys know about this, but a great way to farm sacrifice shards is to spam new instances of an area (I've been doing merc library), and watch the frame time graph when you load. If it has a corrupted area, it's about 50% higher than a zone without one. Pretty cool.

just have someone who does high maps collect a set for you.

What's the best way to do the alch orb recipe?

Just pick some arbitrary item like siege axe and keep an eye out for white/magic/rare?

Does it work like that? I took a wihte/blue/yellow iron ring and didn't get **** for it

needs to be 20%

So... Anyone doing 75s?

Get three white items of the same type. Use four whetstones/scraps on each to make them all 20%. Transmute one. Alch one. Then you get your alch back

Walski is

So fighting atziri did not go well.... In fact I died to the twin vaals and had to use 4 tps killing just the one that I said **** it...

I guess I'll wait for better gear although idk how you're supposed to survive anything... Maybe I need the appropriate flasks?

lol. Binked a pledge of hands.

DPS with no power charges (I have diamond shrine lol):


It's about 12.4k with no power charges and around 15k or so when I do... Compared to pre-pledge ~8.2k

WHERE YOU AT ATZIRI?

I've wondered if you could somehow keep the diamond shrine at all times it would give pretty big edge but could it be discovered easily?

Got all the way to the queen this time without dying, then I just get one shotted by her physical damage...

I don't know how I'll ever be tanky enough to deal with that... It's the mass aoe physical that the undying evangelists cast.

Sigh, oh well, keep grinding away til I get some ridic armor gear somehow...

argh if you aren't going for the challenges should have let me ID it

edit: anyone else not going for the challenge let me ID your uniques too
