Help with potential APS BM, lvl 90 equips or End Game

Lythianaa - Dreamweaver

I'm still new to the BM class but I have had a lvl 60 BM that I have not touched in a long time. I really want to play it again after I get my veno to 100, but the whole APS craze is tempting yet expensive at the same time. I was just fooling around with pwicalc and came up with this build for level 90.

Can any BMs give me some advice and edit the build as they want? I do want some int but those are the equips that I can probably afford atm. If necessary, I might have to farm with my veno for the rest. I guess when I made a BM, I wanted to go for some APS, but getting all the gear is more expensive than I thought. Any help is appreciated! Thank you! b:thanks

(I just put all the gear in, didn't refine or shard anything)

Use at least 1 magic ornament, in this case demon slaughter belt. You also may want to consider useign the tt 90 LA arms for m def and the ability to recycle them onto a sin and archer later.

aside from that it looks fine though I personaly dislike LA ornie builds

Yea i put those ornaments on in case I were to get to 99 and decide to get the ashura's ornaments for the int bonus. It's just a tad expensive so I'm still indecisive I am interested in some int (I don't need to be 5 aps), just trying to find a semi cheap alternative. Thanks for the input though!

What Josh means is he doesn't think using LA ornaments to get your tt99 bonus is a good idea, and most BMs agree. Most prefer 2 pieces of armor to be TT99 LA and the ornies be TT99 HA because then as you refine they give you something useful, pdef. This more than covers any pdef loss you have from LA armor pieces.

And not sure TT90 gold plate is going to be worth it for you. It really is no better than the TT90 green plate (kind of think the green plate is better, actually) and isn't tradable so it'd be a waste of coin. If you're tight on coin throwing away a couple mil to make a tt90 gold plate for 10 strength probably isn't best.

Everything else looks good. Magic can be restat down to 3 and try to land your dex on multiples of 20

Ohhhh, I understand now. I'll play around with the build and see if I can get it to be a bit less costly and more efficient.

One question, is it more worth it to obtain the gold mats via mysterious chips or buying? (taking out the option for farming...)

EDIT: Is this better and reasonable in terms of price or a tad expensive? http://pwcalc.com/a203dd8e22e1be68

Well if you don't mind spending 90 (or 60...idr which) days for each ring you got then yeah it's pretty much cheaper. Personally I would use a misty forest ring x2 if your low on cash (or misty forest and band of heaven's jail)...The warsoul of earth helm and fist would probably be your most expensive pieces seeing as the helm has gone up in price recently (on LC it went from normally 15 mil for scroll to over 24 mil for scroll ).

The Ashura boots and wrists...truthfully said i really don't know their prices for buying...just see them from 20 to 40 mil based on seller/buyer wants.

Thanks for the input! Should I just buy it from someone or try to farm everything but the gold mat? I was originally going to use mysterious chips but I don't know if that is worth it compared to the actual gold mat price

If you can get 3.33 with GV's just spend the extra 15 mill and get deicides

G.V.s and Deicides are only 15mil apart in price? :O I always thought G.Vs were a lot cheaper. I would actually like a Deicide but they're expensive :[ I would prefer to get end game equips first >.<

EDIT: unless of course, the deicides can benefit me more than the equips if I get the deicides first and equips later.

Well usually farming the gold mat for the boots and wrists is actually a **** ton easier than doing it for chest/pants. So yes, I would suggest trying to farm the gold mats for the boots and wrists since they do drop easily, but if you are having bad luck then go ahead and chip them (usually cheaper than buying from AH unless it's x2 drop)

Well considering your 3.33 sparked in your calc, a pair of deicides will make you 4.0 (which is a lot more desired for NV squads).

As for their prices....

G.V. = 15-20 mil (for the Frostcovered sign, and usually the wep is 15 to 35 mil based on shards, refines, socs, and sellers greed)

Deicides = 30-50 mil (for the Lunar glade insignia, and then the wep goes for between 20 and 150 mil again based on refine, shard, soc, and sellers greed)

Oh ok. Well that's going to be quite a bit of coin in the long run. Hope it's worth it. Thanks for all your helpful suggestions! b:cute
