hey guess Bon here, and today let's talk about my day three day four update for my wood liting strike, and oh boy has this build been fun so far. It's only gotten more and more ridiculous. Um, in general, I usually stay away from high scaling leak starters, simply because I don't want to just play one build, right? This is a transition for me. Leak starters are transition pieces, right? You kind of farm up 40-50 divines, and then you maybe even your head hunter, depending on how much you want to farm or how efficient your build is, and then you kind of move on and make like a blaster. But this is already a blaster, and if you slam the Head Hunter on this, you could have a like fine endgame build already. So I'm just very happy. Uh, I will not be farming up for a hand hunter because that usually burns me out too fast. Uh, the thing I'll do next is farm up for a new character, but in general, I still have quite a bit to say about

this I have quite a few upgrades, and will also kind of um give you a perspective on what your next upgrades could be. As well as that, I collected a lot of questions and a lot of uh tips and tricks that I will build into this video. So, if you already watched the first two videos, if you haven't already um already talked a lot about leveling then transitioning, getting tanky decently, and then getting into end game. Get your freezes ready, but this video will be about um mid to end game. So, as you can see right here, I'm currently on my way to level 98, right here level 97. As I said earlier, it's very important that you build decent defenses so you can actually level up and get powerful as soon as possible. There's no need for any leveling tricks if you just play a lot and you don't die a lot. Then you're just going to get XP, and you're going to get stronger. Every level means flat life, all that good stuff. Let's talk about some of the

upgrades actually even more important. There was a bug that has been fixed since then. I put this in the comments. I don't know if you saw it or not. If the tinctures felt weird to you, that is for a reason. So this node right here, collodial mixture, was bugged. What happened when you had this note on is, apparently, it turned off your tincture whenever you pressed the life flask while the tincture lingered. It was bad. I was getting crazy. I was like, am I pressing these wrong? I thought they were more annoying than they actually were, but now it's just back to smooth sailing. So just so you know, if you were on my stream, you already know this, or if you read the comment, you can now allocate this note again. Or if you were annoyed by tinctures, definitely give it another shot. Other than that, new upgrades. Let's talk about Yoke of Suffering. First, this is the most expensive upgrade in the build currently. They go for round about. They started around about 99.5 divines.

but to be honest, you really want one with 10% increased enemy damage taken. If this goddamn thing finally works, so 10%, you can see that they are up to 17 divines. 9% is probably like 14. This amulet is one of the biggest chase items in this build, and it will substantially increase your damage. And yes, it has a downside of 30% reduced duration of ailments on enemies, but it doesn't matter 'cause we're not going shock node again. And the way Hor Frost works is it gives you so much increased duration for freezes that this just completely pales in comparison. So where this is usually a downside, kind of, it really isn't. So what does it do? It has triple res, right? Your Elemental damage can shock. So this means not just your lightning part but all your Elemental damage will shock, which already makes the shock ascendency a little bit worse because now you will actually shock most enemies for like 30ish per to 40ish per instead of having

to ramp it up. So, why would you do that if you're running out of spring? If you're running out of spring, you probably want this amulet, but then you have a different version. So, I don't really know. You have to look for that, but on this version, that is huge. Your shock will go up immensely. And the biggest point here is enemies take 10% increased damage for each type of ailment you have inflicted on them. This is not just elemental; this includes also bleed and poison. Now, we already do have bleed through these nodes right here accidentally anyways because of Cornered Prey. And then poison you will apply because you have an int node here. Only int node works with this tattoo, and that is the tattoo of the TAA Shaman, which gives you 5% chance to poison. And with how much we hit, that is up quite a bit. So, these two plus chill plus freeze plus ignite plus shock, 60% increase damage taken on enemies. This is additive with the shock, but it is sort of a more

multiplier, it is incredible. And in total, it comes out to around about 50% more damage for my build, on top of triple res, which also helps out a little bit. I would say if you have a good claw already, this is your next upgrade. It is incredible. Now, is there anything, anything else to be said here? No, that's about it. Claw. I upgraded my claw, but I did not craft it. The crafting bases right now are ridiculous. The amount of people running around with claws right now is too damn high. So, I basically bought this one. Now, with enchant, I'm currently at 780 DPS, L DPS. With a better enchant, which I'm probably going to put on soon, it is over 800. It's like 820 with, like, a tier one lightning, for example. This is a decent claw. It does not have a crit roll, but I actually do not need that because now I have just so much CR, mostly because of our Rose Thorn tincture, which just, yeah. I could later maybe upgrade the claw and then remove

some of the bleed noes, but then I would have to get bleed somewhere else. So I would maybe have to take the strength note right here and tattoo it over. I don't know exactly, but uh, in general, this is fine. It has chaos res. I am now actually sitting at 71% chaos res, also because of my ring, which we're going to go over. But in general, I feel a lot tankier now. K's damage was most of my problems. As for how to get a claw like this, usually I would craft it myself, but the prices this leak have just been ridiculous. I'm talking a crafting base that would at best give me something like this or maybe slightly better costing more than the claw itself. I'm not really sure what's going on. People are actually going crazy with those uh fractur bases, which is usually how I would make them, and fracturing orbs are like five divines each. I'm not going to spend 20 divines on average to get like a tier one roll, and then I still have to

hit everything so I got this one for 10 divines and it is what it is. It has a tier three and double tier one, so it's very close to what you would usually get if you craft it with deafening Essences. And then it has a tier one attack speed roll. The crit roll is kind of useless, and then the cold res and the Kos res are still there. The cold reses I can't really do much with right now, but the kosr is still nice to have. I did not dare to an know yet. With that said though, if you're searching for claws like this, important to note is that you have to compare the claws fairly. So this claw that I bought right here was actually underpriced because he did not have an enchant. Now my enchant right now sucks, but I could get like up to, I don't know, one to 60 lightning damage on it, and all of a sudden in The Surge it would be like in a region of like 20-30 divines. So you

can sometimes get Snipes from people that don't have their claws Enchanted yet, right? So that is something you can do, um, or vice versa. If you're selling your own claws, make sure that you actually price it like that or maybe enchant it before putting the investment. People are looking for that, obviously. The implicit should be some kind of Life gain on hit. Gemini Claw is not optimal 'cause it has a 1.5 attack speed instead of 1. Uh, six like an imperial club would have. The mon on hit is not really that noticeable. It's just something. It is what it is. So with current fracture prices, I really cannot tell you to craft it yourself. That is the only real way to make a realistic good claw. Now, if you are familiar with raw crafting, I would highly recommend doing that as well. But then you already know what's going on. You're already crafting them, right? So either way, that is the claw and my claw came out to like 23% more damage. I actually sold my old base. That's how

crazy fracture bases are right now. My old base, which was basically just a base sold for six divines back, so I basically only paid four divines for this. Uh, and that base was like tier 2 lower tier two, so just crazy. Then I upgraded my ring. Now, as I said last time, I had minus 25 K, I think, or maybe at zero or something. Now I have 71. The claw has accidental Kos rest, but the big thing here is actually the amethyst ring. This one is huge. Now, if you can get an amethyst ring with chaos res, you will feel really good about it. Now, you could put on Prismatic Catalyst, but I didn't really want to do the investment that I could actually be capped on Kos res. I felt like 71 was fine, but I have a ton of Le damage attacks here. I have a little bit extra accuracy, some flat damage. This is what you're looking for. And the most important thing, the girthy life roll. This is what I was missing. Cas, you don't

know this league this actually only a tier two this league uh life values actually it is a tier one. It goes to 114. Yeah, you can get up to 114 life on rings. It is crazy. It's also something I need to do on my other ring, which is the ring I had after like 6 hours, which I still haven't replaced. But in general, this is how you want to have a ring look like. Now, taming is very strong, but do remember that we already have a lot of increased damage for our Prismatic tincture, and taming would maybe give you like, I don't know, 100. What was it, 100? Uh, I want to say 144% increased damage 'cause we only have three ailments. You cannot go all ail on this version simply because then you would lose freeze at any point. You would lose freeze, and you would have to do some weird skitter Bots infernal Legion stuff with Scorch or whatever. Don't. I would personally not recommend it. Taming is okay. It's a

stepping stone, but Rings like this are actually way, way, way better, especially because that 100 life multiplied by all the increased life will make a difference. Then I finally got my fortify on chest, which is a lot more consistent than just getting it from perseverance. It's only 7% because I only spam with tier ones. If you can get this over 10%, it's a lot more consistent, but now it's actually up against bosses, which is pretty cool. So that's pretty nice. And then another thing I did was I bought some spell suppression tattoos. So as you can see right here, I tattooed over some of the decks. We don't need much dexterity on this build. In fact, I think we need like 160 only. So we still have spots open so you can freely, as much money as you have, paint over your dexterity notes. I think these cost like 60 Kos as of this recording. The reason I did this is so I can replace and trench here these two notes and finally go for my mark the pra so I have frenzy.

charges against bosses. This was kind of the point where I was completing all my favorite slot, so I had to boss. But yeah, those are the most important upgrades I've had. Here another question I get asked a lot is pal, why aw added cold damage in your uh pre-leak po. You had added lightning simple reason back then. I thought shock was good tinctures worth something for later. Now I know tin is good from the get-go and shock kind of whatever. So get went awaken added cold damage cuz this adds to your freeze and also with yoke of suffering. It doesn't matter anyways so you might as well get the cold. Now then I got some Quicky General tips here. It's Ziri right whenever you're doing feared which I actually have to do tomorrow. I just realized that I'm missing a favorite slot. So I'm kind of inting right now if you want to do it Ziri obviously that's a problem. Now how do people usually do this they become reflect immune because otherwise you're going to get yourself

one shot, and uh, we very conveniently here have an el masterer, which gives us 60% reduced reflected Elemental damage taken. This, together with the Sol of vule with 50% reduced reflected damage, will make you immune spec into that while you're fighting a zeri; otherwise, you're dead. This is also something you can do if you're doing eight mod maps and you have a lot of corrupted maps and you have Ellie reflect there. You can like hoard them and then later maybe do them all in one sitting and real quickly put one point in change the pantheon and then do all of them. Another tip: don't go for clusters yet. There's a reason I don't go for clusters. So if you look at this region right here, looks kind of crowded. That's because the ranger area is ridiculous now with the tincture nodes. Like I don't know what to cut for clusters. I did the poing and it would be like life nodes and stuff, which I'm already missing, right? Like I'm already missing this note right here.

don't know what to cut. I have no idea. Everything that's in here is touched by the lethal Pride, so I would want to go for F, right? I might even go for survival list. I might go for weapon like there's so many notes to take and I can't because I don't have the points even though I'm 97. Cluster Jewels are too expensive right now. If they were as expensive as last League, they would be fine, but right now for a good cluster, you can pay up to upwards of 10 divines, and that's just absolutely crazy. There's so many better upgrades. Don't fall for it. Another thing is burning ground immunity. If you're farming like I said last time, uh, searing Exar alter, so red alter right here, right, uh, you have to get burning ground immune. I will remind you every single leak, but if you don't, you're dead. It's a weird balancing thing, but whatever. Uh, then I did my tier 17 now.

tier 17 wasn't a problem at all. I have two tips here. The first one is to buy a fortress map. There's a reason why these are less expensive than the other ones. The boss is quite a lot easier. Just make sure that you don't buy the corrupted ones so you can actually roll them right. Buy one of these, and then you just chaos orb away. The second tip to make it even easier is to use a Scarab above b section. Now why am I saying tier 17? Because tier 17 unlocks your sixth map slot right here, your map device slot. And that is something I want to unlock with my first character. Now, used to be that nullify sopix or prefix on a map was on one of these that were kind of expensive. They cost like one divines. These are super cheap. I think they are like a few chaos right now. And if you put them in, you can nullify suffixes or prefixes. So for example, if I look at this map here, you will see suffix suffix.

prefix you can nullify two or three of these mods, so you can roll, roll, roll. And once you have, for example, really easy prefixes but hard suffixes, you put this on. And then I'll show you how this looks like. So you put this in the map device, and then down here you will see nullify suffixes prefixes have no effect. Now this obviously doesn't do anything if you want to farm tier 17s. Then you need to upgrade your build significantly as always, unfortunately. But if you just want to do it for the completion, this is a very valid trick. And then at the end, I just want to remind people how much life you can nowadays get on stuff. Obviously, my gear is also sloppy, right? But if you want to do really hard content, you can't miss out on these life roles, right? Like a 100 life there, 100 life here. Like I could have 120 life on this helmet. If you really want to take this further, you have to get all of them. As for my next upgrades, there will be plus two strike.

upgrade on gloves and the way you craft these is with orb of conflict. I think I even have one of them right here. These will basically give you a 50/50 chance to up the tier of one of your implicit and lower one of the others. So what you do is you apply the highest tier cuz we're rolling for red right nonv strike skills that's a red mod down here blue mods are the opposite. Now if you apply a high tier blue mod it is more likely to upgrade the lower tier and since this the strike one is a tier one you have a high chance of success with your orb of conflict you just have to apply the tier four over and over again this is going to cost a few divines I'll probably put a clip in my next update about this but but in general we will get this to two strikes with the money I have and I'll show you next time then you want ailment immunity from boots I'm not 100% sure I will still do that on the character but

I will still show you how. If you want to max out this character, this is an absolute necessity. My boots are pretty damn bad right now. I don't even have movement speed, mostly because of whirling blades. But so what you have is you already have 20% ailment avoidance, uh, from these nodes right here. So, 20% are taken care of. Then what you get is a jewel called Ancestor Vision. These usually go down a little bit, but they are quite expensive. And these give you half of your spell suppression as extra chance to avoid ailments. So, if you have 100% chance to spell suppress, you get 50% ailment avoid. So, then we're at 70, and the last 30% are from your boots. If you go to add implicit, you can see right here on the Searing Exarch. Actually, it is on Eater of Worlds, I think. Yeah, Eater of Worlds. So, the blue ones, chance to avoid Elemental ailments, it goes up to 30 to 32. So, we have to hit a tier six roll.

this is what you have to do to get completely ailment immune. This has a few upsides, obviously. Now you're shock immune, which is very dangerous. Ignite is whatever, usually, but shock is big. And also, alt ailments whenever it happens. But also, it means that you can replace your Pantheon. Your Pantheon right now is mostly there to get freeza wood. But now you can look into Soul of Lunaris or Soul of Solaris to get more max headit. So that is also a big thing. I'm pretty sure both of these I'm going to do. Also, I currently have movement speed on my boots. You should definitely roll for Action speed. You can get even on a tier one, uh, Lesser Eldr Ember. You can get 4% action speed. These are pretty hard to roll. I think it's like a one in 80 or something. Or maybe harder to do similar to the plus two strikes on the gloves. Um, but if you're farming them yourself anyways, you might as well try. Now as for what I'm farming, I'm not really too

confident about this one right now. I think it absolutely prints, but it is quite hard to do right now, and I have to still optimize this tree quite a bit. But in general, I am currently running Expedition with extreme archaeology. I'm doing these one-tab Expeditions that give a lot of returns. I do very fast Maps. I get a lot of my money, bubble gum currency from seeing xar Red Alters. They are absolutely printing, especially with how expensive glass blowers bubbles are. I'm just completing Maps very, very fast. This is something I might make a video about or most likely will make a video about. If you want to have this tree, like I said, I don't want to put it out because it's not optimized, but you can drop by on stream over on twitch.tv/ pastron. Now, one more thing that I can highly recommend is upgrade your mining here in the city. Do not neglect these. It takes quite a while if you don't do it in the first week. I know you

might not want to engage with but read it. It's actually pretty damn chill. My personal opinion, I think it's one of the coolest things they've ever added and definitely upgrade your plots right here. But in general, I could rattle off a few random informations but Ziggy has a really cool video out on it. I will link it once again. If you haven't watched it yet, I would definitely highly recommend watching that. If you don't know what's going on, it will give you a lot of closure on that. But yeah, that's about all I have to say. I hope you guys are enjoying your Le start as well. I'm having an absolute blast and uh, yeah, I mean My Town needs me. There's probably a town hall meeting right now, uh, so I have to cut it short here. But uh, since I still don't have a slogan, see you next time. [Music]
