How to improve?

New Player Help
1

So, I have a complete set of Vyr Archon down to every piece. I have also followed the instructions on Icy Veins on what paragons, how to gem and legendary gems to use and all that to include what stats on each piece of armor. However, I feel as if I am stuck and dont know what to do going forward. I never get any better drops as apparently RNG doesnt like me. So, how do I improve gear. I cant get passed GR65 it seems, I could with a lot of work without dying I guess.

So, whats the secret to keep going, how do you get better and improved gear?

Why should I augment ancient gear, I dont even know what that does lol.

Thanks for advice, Im in a rut I guess

Just best of off keep doing gr’s at what you can run through on the highest torment level you can and hope fore better loot I guess.

Are you doing seasonal or normal if doing normal I can help you

Also make sure you have your rotation down. Many builds depend on the order in which you cast your Skills to get the most Damage and Toughness (defense).

If you’re playing Icy Veins’ Archon Build with Vyr Set, here is the suggested Skill rotation:

Thank you for the help. However, how do I get the better gear, just constantly running Grs, over and over?

  • Bounties
  • Rifts
  • Greater Rifts
  • Kadala
  • Upgrade Level 70 Rare items in the Cube.
  • Enchant unwanted item Properties at the Mystic.
  • Reforge poorly rolled Legendary items in the Cube.
  • Grind and farm; rinse and repeat.

Right now you are running 6 characters in Season. Now that you have gotten to play with them a bit, choose one main character to focus on for gear and maybe another to run speed rifts and bounties to collect mats and keys.

With your main character, decide which build you are going to gear up for and which gems you need to level up.

While leveling up your gems, run GR’s in sets of three as fast as you can. Don’t spend any time in town other than to drop off gemstones in your stash and salvage yellows/whites/blues. These GR runs should be in the 3 to 5 minute range until you get your gems leveled up, then whatever it takes to level your gems.

After 3 GR’s, identify your items, salvage or stash or use. Gamble up your shards and when everything is empty, do it again.

The less time you spend in town the better.

Don’t forget to pray to RNGesus:

The Gospel of Gamers 6:9-13

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: RNGesus who art in tables, fickle be thy nature.

10 Thy drop rates rise, thy drops be good for us, as they are for streamers.

11 Give us this day our daily rares.

12 And forgive us our need rolls, as we forgive ninjas.

13 And lead us not into wipes, but deliver us from lockouts: For thine is the grinding, and the dice, and the blame, for ever. Amen

Thank you to all, I have managed to get through GR75 for the first time. It was rough but did it with 8 mins left.

I guess I just need to keep running GRs to be able to push higher with more Paragon points. I am only at 704.

That’s 10 more GRift Levels since you started this thread. It also means you’ve unlocked Primal items. :+1:
