Hi everybody. I'm a level 86 BM and I'll be reaching 90 in couple of weeks. I decided I'd check what kind of equips I'm going to get but everything costs so much. I want to be axe/fist build but money is the main problem here. The build I made: http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/?char=457a9e6f845bdee5 If I use that set, I won't be able to get any fists. And if I barely break 4.5k HP at 90, you can call it fail. Even if I don't use fists and restat some of it into vit, my HP would still be very bad. Not to mention I'd suck as a DD.

I'm open for all suggestions. I tried farming TT with my faction but it was so horrible that on the rare occasions when we managed to form a squad I only made like 150k-200k per run. AoE grinding nets me around 175k per hour after costs.

    Get a faction that doesn't suck at TT =/
    Me and my gf go by ourselves and do entire 2-3 and 3-1 runs in 30-45mins. Make about 1mil per run, more if we get gold mats.

    I've been trying. The word of good factions spreads pretty fast, but atleast on Sanct it means that either the faction sucks at TT, doesn't do it or does it at the times when I'm not on. Most factions are almost completely dead when I play (I'm from Europe). Random squads are, as the name suggests, random. Usually the drop share is that "barb-clerics-DDs" **** or "lololol noobs I steal your drop". I've been in plenty of factions already. The one I'm currently in is kinda bad, they have done like 5 runs when I have been on, and I've been here for quite long already.

    4.5k HP just doesn't cut it. You obviously need more money to refine your set better. Merchanting could do, but it seems that you don't have the money for it and it's not that easy for everybody (including me). There's not plenty of things you could do at that situation either.

    Idk how there are no adds on your hat and cape, 3*s always have some unless im mistaken, try to get some vit/hp adds. And well getting to +3 isnt that expensive (Im broke too so I know how hard it can be). So with +3 on the armor and some decent adds, youd break 5k hp easily, still not that great but better <.< http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/?char=4c73e3ef3201dae3

    Ditch Equine Talisman for one of the TT90 gold necklaces (or Sky Demon's for cheaper alternative). If you are planning to gather enough mats for whole TT90 set, then I would assume you can make enough money to buy premade set. Look for deals on 3 sockets or even 4 sockets with some refines already made and already sharded. You can usually get them for cheaper than making them from scratch. For the cape and helmet, search AH for cheap ones with +HP and +Vit on them.

    If you are that limited in money making, you might want to make a compromise and use either axes or fists that are a grade below your current level. This will give you extra points to pour into vit. Honestly, pure DD build (yours) is more for people who can afford higher refines and high grade shards. So either way you will have to make compromise somewhere. It's often better to be good at one thing than be half assed at everything.

    The hat was just an example. Currently I'm using Helmet of Pirate +1 with 2 flawless shards, but I'm selling it (if I can get rid of it, won't be easy). And yeah, +3 isn't that hard, but for me it usually takes like 200k per piece, sometimes more.

    Swindler is too expensive. I might get the Sky Demon though, we will see. I'm also looking for the premade TT90 pieces, since I plan on selling what I currently got and then buying the stuff from AH. Nicely refined pieces tend to cost 5m each witch is way too much compared to what I'm getting from my old set. Hell, I got my level 77 mold pants +3 with 3 flawless citrines and max stats for 125k from AH. I know I can resell it for 1m or so, but honestly, that means I barely get one piece of TT90 armor for selling all of my current armor pieces.

    I was kinda thinking if I'd use Calamities or TT80 fists instead of TT90 stuff, but TT80 fists cost a fortune too and Calamities for PvE at 90+ isn't all that nice. And both TT90 fists and axes suck anyway. FCC green is an option too, but I'll play around my build to see how many points I can remove from str and dex. And more importantly, how the hell I'm supposed to afford all this.

    I think I'd go with Calamities and Gorenox too. Get 227 str (for TT90 set) and 168 dex and rest to vit. And yeah I agree, getting into a faction that does TT is extremely hard.
