Set is incredible, honestly. You can farm fauzt and triune effortlessly because of the mana regen and life after kill.

Tried minefield and I hate it. Losing the life after kill sucks so hard, even though I'm using antimass with crimson dream.

Instinct is the shit and a major quality of life bonus to scos farming. The life after kill + antimass means the only thing that kills me is werewolf druid in scos.

Blazing armament is really good for farm. Thinking of farming a Nats legacy instead of crafting an armor but not sure yet.

Do you follow all the way this guide or you prefer something else, I say about skills

I think for skills there are a few you really gotta max, like eldritch storm. Lava pit is decent but once you start getting eldritch storm to lvl 75+ it starts hitting so hard that lava pit kinda takes a back seat for me.

It's kinda hard to deviate from the skills in the guide cause the skill spread just works very well.

Haven't tried any oskills. Titans fortitude is what I want but don't want to spend for it.

Getting mana to 10k and maxing balance has been great for survivability. Def dump points in balance.

Playing the build this season up to T9 Labs right now, when you get rid of the set you lack LaeK, I suspect that switching to Instinct instead of Minefield would help. I didn't do that though, I just started using the Antimass Sorc Skill from the Shield. It has like a 4-5 second CD and should just about full heal you if you're going for farm setup with high mana. Will feel horrible once you have to switch to Golden Chariot for Labs because that Skill is just awesome to have. Shields also one of the cheaper pieces so you should be able to get it easily.

What I'm personally struggling with is getting my pierce high enough for Labs while keeping all the defensives up as well. Max res is super easy cause we get so much from Golden Chariot, the 60% phys res and 260% overcapped Res though are quite the pain.

By my calculations the pierce will look something like this:

Pierce for fire gear:

Charms -5 Sunstone, -5 Angel Bag, -5 Astroga, -5 Dulra Aegis, -5/-10 Vial of Elder Blood
Charms: -(25-30)

Weapon: -60 Minefield / -50 Instinct (2 Sockets)
Shield: -18 Golden Chariot (6x Fire Runes)
Helm: -(15-20) Indigo / -0 Deviant Crown (2 / 4 Sockets)
Body Armor -30 Blazing Armament / -0 Spiritual Craft (3 / 6 Sockets)
Gloves: -0 Lorekeeper (4 Sockets)
Belt: -(15-20) Dementia (2 Sockets)
Boots: -0 UMO / Wake of Destruction (4 Sockets)
Rings: -10 Ras Algethis (x2)

Assuming we go with Indigo for the helm we get:
Minefield + Spiritual Craft: 128-138 (w/ Charms:153-168) (20 Sockets)
Minefield + Armament: 158-168 (w/ Charms:183-198) (17 Sockets)
Instinct + Spiritual Craft: 118-128 (w/ Charms:143-158) (20 Sockets)
Instinct + Armament: 148-158 (w/ Charms:173-188) (17 Sockets)

I would really like to go with Instinct + Crafted Body armor but that would lead to me having to fill most sockets with Farsight Globes to get the pierce up and I already need those sockets to reach the 90% max res & 260% res & FCR caps. Lotteried Farsights are hard to come by and it would be quite the while before I get enough of those together. Anyone got ideas for how improve the setup with Crafted Armor and Instinct to reach higher pierce?

also using natasha's is always a option (giyua armor) it allows for more flexible slots in helm and belt with the max res.

Yeah, natasha farming was on my mind but I was really looking forward to using a 5 times blessed crafted armor with +2 skills, 72% max mana and >240% mana reg that would also cap FCR by itself

And with how bad my drop luck has been this season, I'm about to jump out of my window if I end up farming that godforsaken jungle for days just to get nothing out of it.

Btw, for anyone wondering what relics to buy, Titan's fortitude is great because we scale well both with %HP and also with %Armor (if you're maxing Balance). If you want to stick with the OG skills, Lavapit Relic makes the skill way more enjoyable to use in general and for e.g. Phoboss in specific. Not sure what OSkills would be best now though after the Pyro/Banish nerf. Druid's Firerain might be good, there are some weirder OSkill once I haven't gotten to try yet, if one of those is good it would allow us to skip some of the life draining passives which would be a nice bonus.

How do you 5x bless an armor?! Please help a returning player I am playing unsummonzon version and with 175% pierce on fire elementals, redeemer and vision of the furies, it absolutely melts.

5x blessed armor would be amazing!

cube the armor with rare ring and rare amulet, craft until it rolls only 2 skills, that leaves it at req 45, you can use

So cube armor with spiritual shrine and a rare ring and rare ammy and it like creates a lower level req craft?

No, cube armor with ring and amu then start crafting like normal.

When it comes to leveling until lvl 50, I would say stay away from Magic Missles, Hammerzon is the way to go. Early on damage of HoZ is insane, at lvl 20 you get access to Ecstatic Frenzy which takes care of your attack speed. You can basically speedrun through first difficulty with only basic runewords. Leveling with MM is just p a i n

Using this guide to play my first ever bloodzon, and I'm playing it on HC.

Fun so far, time to farm some ACs for gear.

Hey, thx for the guide!
I'm playing SSF with this, could you recommend an obtainable and serviceable Oskill to help with bossing? I currently use the set + TU pieces.

Thx in advance!

any lab specific gear/guide? havent played in a few seasons

For leveling i just used a ranger merc with a good bow and blinked on top of mobs, she decimates everything and when you get elementals even better as she gives them crushing blow, smooth riding to level 50 so far

You can also go for lightning hammer, before act5 she destroy everything with one hammer using scepter/grand scepter (35lvl upgrade to t2 from gambling). Tanky + good dmg + fast clear and respec before 51lvl or lvl1 challenge. Much faster comparing to different builds with no gear
