How do i properly farm SR…?
Just open it up from scratch and run u til shard 20, to start with…?
I just hit 100, im still using 4pc 75 ulto. I have one piece of the mythical version.
Would I be better off to use 4pc bloodrager ( 94 ) in the meantime or keep my 75 ultos on until i can upgrade…? ( Thats the only set ive managed to acquire, and not a single ultos BP yet. )
At current, all res over cap, 98 sorb, 16.5k HP, 130k dps on primal. I can run totems/bosses fairly easy and efficiently but was hoping to swap it up to SR for a while to efficiently farm gear / bp / mats and bits
Edit: Im also at 200 attack speed 45 crit 3100 OA 2700 DA
You will get ass stomped in SR Ultimate if you want to farm the proper shards for efficient looting. A Grimtools link would help (go to Grimtools website, click build calc, upload character and then click share and post the link here)
Your stats do seem good actually, like the ones you mentioned. However we still don’t know health, armor, armor absorb, resistances, phys res and cc res. And the RR situation…a GT will help.
Farming SR is done in shards of 2, so you use a waystone to enter at ex shard 26, cash out after clearing boss room on shard 27/exit after 2nd boss room/2nd time Mazaan appears
Ofc you need those checkpoints first, so that will require a runup to do, you can however do that on Normal, since you unlock waystone blueprints you can still use on Elite/Ult (individual checkpoints will be stored per char per difficulty and waystones only unlock a base/initial shard threshold checkpoint)
*a quick/cheesy way to get all checkpoints and waystones immediately is to join a MP game where they are farming ex sr 30-31,
my res is all over capped with softcap at 82 across the board. 19 phys res with 98 sorb
In town without buffs im sitting at 2700 oa 2400 da 1651 armor and 16k hp. My ilvl is 88. Im using 4pc bloodrager for now as its better than using a level 75 set at 100 im sure. I have 1500 hp regen, very high stun/freeze reductions. So far i only died once to about 20 nemesis. Valadan, and i believe thats because i swapped my wyrmscale boots with 60stun reduction. Therefore im putting the wymscale back on.
I just did a 20 but this takes a long time to go from 1-20 for very little loot. Clearly im missing something. I got 2 BP, 5 elditrich essence and one lotus.
I tried a 15 using a waystone however i didnt get shit for drops…i juat cleared the 15 and left. If that was 20-24 do you just do the one shard and then loot… or how od i maximize my gains in SR.
( This is my second L100, with several 50/75’s )
I made an EoR DW warlord first and it literally just d4opped off the map as soon as I capped at 100 it couldnt handle the content. Likely my fault gear wise but i have nothing other than what i find to get rolling. )
Do you get the ‘max’ loot if you enter with a stone, clear the 20 and leave immediately,m…? That would enable like four-five minute 20’s which might be worth while but as of now im going to go back to totems.
*you’ll also want to farm SR on Elite or Ultimate, since loot on Normal is heavily reduced, so like ex SR 30-31 on Normal gives you 6-8 legends, while on Ultimate you get 14-18 for the same shard
or rather, that is to say starter farming on Normal isn’t bad, but you’ll want to do 30-31, and have a fast clear time. Otherwise you might just step it up to Elite/Ult but then you can go some shards lower and still get more loot (like 26-27 previously mentioned)
aside from being a stat check there is a fair bit of experience factor involved.
ex there is a lot of beginner/budget setups rated for SR 60(24), and i can pilot those through 60(24) no issue, but others or newcomers tell me they might struggle hard just in sr50(20), and the main thing i can only really attribute to that is me having lots of play time (despite technically not being a great pilot compared to good players), so those thousands of thousands of hours must then add something in my favour
Since it is also a stat check however, when/if you do get your char beefed up you should still notice a significant change/improvement at the same level/experience.
if your regen is low it must/should be compensated by lifesteal as a weapon attacker, imo you’d look minimumly at around 15% in sheet page 2
When you check your stats it’s also important whether you factor in passive stats or proc buffs(or mutators), since there can be a huge difference if you have 150 attack speed “passive”, or 200 with some buff lasting 5-10secs, but then having a 20sec cooldown.
(same reason why it’s extremely important to not check stats accidentally as “baseline” with ex Ghoul devotion buff active )
*on the mutator front they can skew your resist/max res and HP and armour so it’s good to check base stats just standing in camp
**stuff like pneumatic burst or blood of dreeg, while being a manually activated buff, is effectively considered a perma buff, since the duration is much larger than the cooldown, so it’s easy to have 100% uptime on.
You need more regen; 2x Gollus rings and maxxed Mog’s pact, Behemoth (devotions). What is your second class? I have average 5.1k regen on this Warder w/o procs; Warder and Elementalist have naturally strong regen sync. Anyhow I know it’s an endgame build with lots of farm time and a stash reflecting 2k plus hrs play time; but I linked my build (heavily based on Selv1n’s classic Thunderbolt). Until full Ultos you should run green gear like the PS shoulders, stormcallers pact helm, korvan halberd etc…
I took some ideas from one of the 2h ranged savagery builds using Evoker, managed to get 2pc cyclone and 3pc Defenders Light, respec’d my devotions to follow guide, however, my regen is now under 300… they werent using and regen related devotions I guess.
I am however able to clear 20/21 for loot on Ultimate now where as before I reset and changed up some gear I was on elite with primal strike doing 20/21.
Im a vindactor ( shaman/Inquisitor )
I do need to get better components, although, I just got revered with malmouth and kymon leaving only the Cults in FG at honored atm.
My damage is way way higher now, and evoker just erases shit. So i guess its just farming SR for a while now to get crafting mats, components, relics, gear blueprints.
Four back to back Ultimate SR 20/21 though without any close calls even. Just dont stop shooting…lol
Well im running 30/31’s on ultimate in about 8 minutes now.
I think I’ve found the resources to resurrect my EoR warlord as well. I just got the mythical beronath recipe to upgrade my non myth version, as well as Gutsmasher. Will look into that after.
Still no Ulto set BP or items, and ive rerolled set items as often as I can.
just in case, you cant’ reroll non-myth into myth btw.
Seen people try that/waste their material attempting that a couple of times, so just putting it out there
Nah I got the mythical BP for beronath. Thats likely why my EoR DW Warlord dropped of the map at 100. Every totem, nemesis etc was slampping me hard. I didnt even realize at the time that mythical was a thing it was my first char.
I did find a gutsmasher to compliment him and that list of top 20 has eor warlord as #2 so now that I can efficiently farm SR I should have no issues fixing his gear and getting him back on the ship.
What other activites for newly annointed endgame players are there…? Steps, Grove, Valbury…? I dont think im ready for Celestials at this time.
Also does Korvaak from FG end boss drop mythical korvaak helm and medal etc…?
Edit: Also is there a better aether crystal farm than just runnig wardens lab backwards for the ten~ish crystals and rinse and repeat…? 15 minutes I got over 225 crystals. Seems decent but if im spending any real tine farming these specifically id like to know of a better mehod if possible…?
Evoker is a quest reward from killing Korvaak on Ultimate… ? Thats where I accidentally stumbled upon mine… the emissary gave it to me after turning in quest at the conclave.
Edit: Also eternal band/mythic variant are quest rewards for getting to coven of ugdenbog the fiest time before going to barrowholm.
It gives 15flat and 15% reducded res and 50%skill interuption res along with 115%ele damage and atrackspeed, DA ele and aether res…
In my mind this ring is irreplaceable… vs a coven storm seal etc… why is it never mentioned anywhere in guides…?! Both versions are available before storm seal anyways but it stops iron maiden form weapon swapping etc… seems like a BiS ring for any ele damage char…? Its the only ring ive seen with flat and % -RR, and the o ky skill interruption ive seen anywhere.
Herald of Flame is technically worse in terms of time spent vs just crystals gained, but it’s good if also farming other stuff/if you want the dagger etc
Likewise Immolation can get good if considering other items on top of crystals
For pure/“raw” crystals vs time it’s kinda hard to beat Lab tho, downside being you basically get nothing else
*i actually forgot about Stonerend Quarry, so i’m not technically sure if it was more optimal, but i don’t recall it as breaking even with Lab tho, but it’s another avenue with boss farm etc
