Actually you dont. Also check do you have lycantrophy active. Even 1 monster kill should get you 700- 1k health back. That havent veen big issue on my wolf atleast

What? Isn't it automatically activated in wolf form?

Lucantrophy is enabled only if wolform is super maxed on skill levels. Otherwise it doesnt work for example if you have 31/32 levels on wolform you dont leech at all and your laek from skills is 0. When you hover over wolform it should also state is lycanthrophy enabled or disabled

Enabled 28/28

Hmm well then i have to say that i cant figure out what is causing your deaths. If you have mana issues just try to use void rw instead and also try to get close to 50% dr when on fauzt. Also use health potions. Atleast i could farm fauzt with stats and baseline setup that i pmd to you. If you think you get stuck on fauzt anf get killed then that can be cause monsters cast -50% all speeds buff sometimes. Its short debuff tho but can cause death sometimes. You can try to counter that with 280 fhr +50 fhr so you still have 280 fhr after you get debuffed

hope this helps you ahead

Say I went cold build just for easier survivability, would I also want an act 2 merc for procing glacial nova? Aren't they way tankier too?

actually they arent. they are tanking mercs but a3 merc still takes more beating since their passive gives that 400k defense

. if you have cold build the monsters are allready frozen so you dont need glacial nova neccesarely.

Hi again Tkorpi, the current dunc layout is new to me since I've been away for awhile. I want to ask you about the the tiny transition zones between the big rooms. They tend to be the only place i die on this build because there's no where to run from the barrels. Is there anything you do to avoid dying in these sections?

Currently I'm just killing them then opening port and eating the barrel explosion. The medium sized transition ones i just run to a corner and it's ok, but the smallest ones I can't do that.

cast TP and go there before barrels blow up and then go back again when there is no barrels = profit. also if you have void charm you can teleport over the wall before they have chance to blow up.

also this i havent tested!!! but you maybe could do this also with nef rune staff where is blink charges. maybe cd is enough low on that one. but like i said i havent tested it out yet.

Any advice on obtaining my first auhe rune? I kind of need to get one since I don't have the unique ring for path of flames.

I would like to know how bojacea is able to do fautz so easily with this gear.

Is he just getting carried by his massive amount of charms? His setup doesn't look too amazing.

I don't even have or know what some of these are and he has a lot of cycles too.

Use any summoner (nec Or barb) Build. It's faster that way. You only have to teleport on an enemy and bam! Dead.

I was afraid of this answer. I've delayed my summoner necro due to interests in getting 121 on my druid so I can use XIS RWs

Guess i'll go start working on it.

Yep. get barb or nec to do toraja. with wolf toraja is kinda slow to farm. but i prefer to run TA until i can buy auhe tho.

He is fire druid. all spell dmg goes to path of flames that kills everything. he also have pretty decent amount of -fire resistance and flat fire damage on his gear.

that is why he clears so fast

Edit: i also checked his video when he cleared fauzt. he is doing same thing that i do. just kill everything else and ignores necrobots. other monsters die to path of flames very quickly.
