Hello homies, I have a level 79 sorceress that I’m having trouble with continuing forward. I’m on the Ultimate difficulty stuck on the Warden cause he basically one shots me if he touches me. I tried my hand at the crucible, got to floor 100 and then got immediately oneshotted. So I have thrown my hands up in the air and asking for help?
My main questions would be; I know this is not the perfect min/max build (it was my first character), is this character a lost cause and remake her or should I continue?
What equips should I be looking for in terms of legendary items and what enchantments would I put on them?
Do my skills and devotions look right or have I been playing my character all wrong?
Iskandra’s Elemental Exchange 12/12
Overload 12/12
Elemental Balance 12/12
Mirror of Ereoctes 12/12
Maven’s Sphere of Protection 12/12
Devotions: 45/50
Red, Yellow, Purple Points in Crossroads
Falcon bound to Demon’s Breath
Hawk
Magi bound to Firestrike
Rhowan’s Crown bound to Salvo
Hydra
Ghoul bound to Elemental Exchange
Jackal
Viper
Revenant but I’m missing the last point
There was honestly no need for you to go full 50 in demolitionist
Anyways you get a lot of %offensive ability.
Behemoth is your backup healer skill. For life-steal i recommend using component - Haunted Steel
Post some screens of your build, also of the gear you’re using
Note:-
Olexra’s Flash Freeze is for clearing trash, it won’t affect many bosses and heroes as they’re immune to freeze. Though i suppose you can ditch it for Thermite Mine to achieve greater resistance reduction.
To save yourself the trouble, next time when posting items use GracefulDusk
Answer me:-
-What equipment do you have in your stash?
-And what legendaries can you craft?
-What relics can you craft
From the screens you posted:-
-Your gear needs some changing.
-Your offensive ability is too low
-You’re using fire-strike the wrong way, it should replace your default attacker (LMB skill)
-I don’t see you’re gear augmented. You need to hit Revered with atleast Outcast and Devil’s Crossing to get good defensive augments. It’s generally recommended to hit revered with all factions
To farm faction rep do bounties and use writs from the faction vendor (if you don’t possess mandates). NOTE: Mandates can be shared to your other character using shared stash.
It looks to me like your resists are the problem. -4% aether resist against Warden is why you are getting one shot. I would find a high aether resist yellow ring or two and swap into those for that fight. For ultimate you should look into capping all of your resists though, especially if you plan on doing the crucible.
You should invest in the Maiven’s modifier (at least 3 or so points) as well as spending some points in olexra’s flash freeze. The maiven modifier will help with Warden, and Olexra’s will be a great asset moving forward. You should also use fire strike as your default weapon attacks and augment your gear to improve your resistances. By the way, this build is very viable and you should continue on her with some minor changes.
You know, I just found out through the forums that Elite reduces resistances by 25 and Ultimate by 50. That makes so much sense.
Thank you for you input. I didn’t know it made a difference what Fire Strike was on, I’m used to just right clicking in games like Grim Dawn so just force of habit. I was I found out about Olexra’s sooner, that ability seems like it would’ve saved me a lot of headache.
Duly noted, I think I will go with Cthon’s skill build that he posted up top.
Craft Conflagaration, you get resists, damage but most importantly get +1 skills to demolitionist
Replace Bloodrager’s with Dawnguard Plate.
Use Death Ward, it’s low health proc will save your ass a lot of times. Learn to avoid serious fights when the Death Ward proc is on Cooldown (90 seconds).
Use the above link to check out Augments. I can’t tell you which augments you need as it depends on the resistances your lacking.
One augments that i particularly like a lot is Cairn’s Hope, i use it if my resistances are at a decent value as it gives me Hp and Energy Regen. But it’s a personal choice.
If you have Chain’s of Oleron then use it on your chest piece. Probably the best component in the game that can fit with pretty much all builds. Provides small bonus to % total damage and offensive ability
