With the new version, we will be able to use wolf stance with phalanx! Not really a big change since you want better gear for bosses but still.

in the unlikely offchance that wolf stance retains its 15ewd per soft all-skill, then ye its a buff.

but a reduction in ewd was announced, so im curious on how they will make the now new oskill scale. most oskills that give ewd are peanuts compared to current wolf stance, like 1-3 ewd per point instead of 15. my guess is wolf stance from zak set/auriels/relic will be gutted. thats something we will have to wait for and see.

but this picture is really pog

it looks like a remake for phalanx is being hinted at ? in which case its pretty exciting and bothersome at the same time. phalanx is already very strong and id have to remake ALL my uber videos ><


lol its probably just some random TA picture to make the announcement prettier :P

. Not sure how long this build gonna last, but it clear Duncraig as fast as as before, and procs are fun to mess around with ;)


Ye it was buffed recently, I haven't had a chance to test it properly. But before its buff I did and it was nearly identical dmg to a craft build, except you lost a bunch of hp and mf.


These are some old/outdated unedited notes I have:

I tested it and even fully geared (zod jewels, SoV, honorifics), it will not beat your most basic farming setup. You get to have a total of 1300-1700ewd in the end, but the bow's base dmg is so low that it just doesn't surpase the most basic of crafted bows by that much. You'd gain about 5-10% more dmg output but lose hundreds of mf, 20 life leech, and 4k hp (comparison here: https://i.imgur.com/aT6L4pY.png)

Here is a short Hellreach guide if you're still interested: https://i.imgur.com/7GyEdF3.png

So I crafted this bow which I believe is pretty good based on the examples provided in the guide. Since it gives me 50% attack speed, should I look to replace Scarab amulet for something else, replace another piece of gear or just keep everything as is (follow items suggested in the guide).

The scarab is part for the ias but mostly for the fcr to reach the 117fcr breakpoint. Phalanx is mandatory for most uber quests. But it means you don't need to worry abpout ias on your other gear pieces like helm/gloves.

Hi!

I have some questions (Some ones are noobs)

- How do you know when a item is su, ssu?
- I found hammerfist and geleb's greed. Should I use one of them instead of honorific?
- Im using zerae's refinement and zerae's redemption. But found Royal Circlet, what should I do?
- I have doubts on my Chest (zerae's redemption). Should I craft something better or farm another chest?
- I found 1 giant knuckle... latter I need to change my ripstars for 2 giant knuckles?

Actually i'm lvl 128 clearing very fast Duncraig.

And this is my weap.
