I Can't Reach the Inferno 1 Combat Rating Requirement

[NightRaven-2307438]

I am a F2P player. I play for relaxation and it’s not important for me to be at the top level in terms of damage and combat rating. However, it bothers me that since I installed the update and the HELL and INFERNO level requirements changed, I can no longer meet the Inferno 1 combat rating requirement. My combat rating is too high to enjoyably play at HELL 3 level, but too low to play at Inferno 1 level. I am currently at Paragon level 362, with Inferno 1 active and a CR of 34,713. I have completed all the guide quests as well as the main quests. Despite this, I am not receiving any primary or secondary gear that would slightly increase my combat rating. This makes the game unplayable for me, as I die very quickly in the Dungeon, and I am not accepted into Inferno 1 RAID because I do not meet the required CR level.

How can I increase my combat rating? Is this an issue, which many forums are also pointing out, or am I missing something?

How can I increase my combat rating?

Take a look at this…

[ INFO ] - Where does your Combat Rating come from?

Let’s use my hero as an example. He has 36313 Combat Rating… [image] That Combat Rating comes from a number of sources… Set items Set items ranks Legendary items Legendary items ranks Legendary gems Helliquary level Helliquary remains Warband Tableau Here’s the full breakdown of how that total is achieved… Set Item Base CR Rank CR Amulet 1802 192 Belt 1782 164 Gloves 1802 164 Boots 1802 150 Ring 1 1802 164 Ring 2 1802 164 Br…

Obviously, as I can’t inspect your hero, I can’t see why you’re missing CR but the most common reasons are low set item ranks, low legendary gear ranks, low warband tableau level, low helliquary level, i.e. things that are not the base CR of the gear items you have equipped.

None of which is a bug though.

At a minimum, you need to do your two weekly raids with 3 other WB members to accumulate points

Activities you can run without any other Warband members present (i.e. you could solo them, or do them with party / raid members that aren’t in your WB) that earn WB points…

• Helliquary Raids
• Purge The Depths
• Castle Defence (normal)
• Castle Defence (endless)

Activities that require at least one other Warband member present that earn WB points…

• Bounties
• Dungeons

The only thing that requires you to raid with at least 3 other members of your WB is to earn the token that allows you to buy an Eternal Legenday Crest from the NPC near the Elder Rift portal.
