✨ Classic Armour Stacker Setups for Farming Valdos Maps! ✨

Molten Strike is sill #1 DPS so we will use it as our main skill.
This build is perfect for speed farming the valdo maps.

Swap for Mapping/Clear

  • Molten Strike > Lightning Strike of Arcing
  • Slower Projectiles Support > Greater Fork Support
  • you can also unspec Point Blank

if you wanna use Molten Strike to clear then swap Slower Projectiles Support for Greater Ancestral Call Support.

This version can run the following level of Valdo Maps

the only abilities that should kill you are the cortex spinning lazer slam ( he does this when on low hp only) and standing in sirus no regen puddles.

✅ Feared + 100% Deli or 10% less damage per item
✅ Feared + x4 Ghost
✅ 10% less damage per item + Union of Souls + 100% Deli (not 5 min timer btw)
⚠️ Feared + x4 Ghost + 100% Deli or 10% less damage per item (with good gear its very easy, with bad gear its harder..)
✅Iron Territory: 8-9 min

✅ = Easy to complete
⚠️ = Hard but doable

How it Works

TLDR

  • Replica Dreamfeather scales our % attack damage.
  • use Wrath and Smite to get flat damage. This is why we dont bother with phys>elemental conversion or matching skill damage types. i.e molten strike is a fire skill but we only scale lightning.
  • We will get most of our armour by converting evasion rating to armour with Iron Reflexes. Due to the way this works, flat evasion is more valuable than flat armour.
  • Use flasks and auras like Determination and Grace to get % More Armour and Evasion.
  • Since we are using lots of auras we will get lots of increased effect of non-curse auras to scale our armour, flat lightning damage and energy shield!
