@Gadge, realming first time is damn hell. Be sure to roll and max Resonator ring, then enchant all sets used at least 1 times. Try Archon or Heretic. There will be long stacking runs.
Yeah, i suppose that enough WHAT challenges are possible to reach Mount reward, even on quite low Memories. I've missed 3 (Delusions, 1e6 Memories and 50 Trials) and still got it.
@LeMonk212, as for me it took 2-3 realms to get e550 (T3 pets), that was damn hard. But then T3 pet rocketed me to e650 in the same realm. I'm using Heretic only till the first realm. 5 gear sets, almost all attributes maxed exept Wisdom (0), Empathy (100, just to get 175 with Bites and use all the pet exp set) and Versality. Spellcraft was the last dumping stat.
I've used Commissar's torn a bit with Oni. Nice item till about e600+ mysts, maybe less (if you can ride legendary carpet), but later on you have enough atts naturally. So, you can save some att points and still get perks. Pure points are almost useless due diminishing returns, but perks are cool sometimes. Badly, there's no options to save attribute patterns and it's damn boring to mess with points. Maybe you can get more from Commissar's torn mixing it with Geode, Ley keeper or Chimaera and dumping points in Versality, but ... i've found Oni too complex.
@Tecit, Chiropteric (maxed) calls a bat in 12m in default. Maybe weapon charging pants will speed this up. Finally i've decided to spend dust - too hard buffing with manual batsm anyway. That was my mistake to spend Relics on auto expeditions, not bathunter :)
@Tecit, i plan to use Chiropteric just to get some buffs form bats, that temporary ones. All-eater suxx for Heretic, even with void gear and his special void spells. I think it get more from casts then pure VM, even with Voidterror. Redeemer shines for me, despite the class suffer till about 1-2e6 memory.
If i max Chiropteric Rod (12m to bat) and equip
Temporal Scabbard (100% weapon charge speed), there will be 6m bats? I want maxed buffs before burst and tired to spend yellow dust.
@LissyTheArch, i've used to ride Rubedo on my evocation stage, but Muscle Memory actually got me the same effect. I'm sure it's better to have bonus casts on my other spells, not just accumulated one. And a little more evo boost from chants ))
@ih8regin it's better to equip inc gear, cast buffs and switch to evo gear for burst. If inc spells remain in the same slots, buffs will keep their power casted in inc gear.
@Tecit, every class have something to stack over exiles :) Shaman is damn good with his 2 persistent spells. Btw, i've used bat cage long time, but without bat catcher it suxx. Changed 2 Hunger finally. Still lack a lot of crafting dust, but sure will finish all my items this realm.
