Kephet's Refuge? Rago's Flame Staff and Galigord's Stone Staff are both ele staves with the same exact stats, except ragos is fire and galigords is earth. Either is better than kephets.

I'll check it out later, unless anyone else can confirm Like I said before, you still get hit while under mist form, just no damage is shown.
As such...
Attacks can build adrenaline
Attacks can interrupt
Attacks can cause conditions
Attacks can do anything they would otherwise do except deal damage. Same with you.

I haven't tested it myself.

dont feel no pain, you still need to replace Armor of Mist with Flame Djinn's Haste... just 'cause you don't have it doesn't mean it isn't the best skill for the run Also, I still hold to Flame Burst being better than Inferno for this. Wider AoE, and also shorter recharge if you need to spam it. And kephket's? wtf?

I just realized why EoE didnt work on the bosses when i was trying to kill them in one go...... EoE read like this:

"Create a level 1...8 Spirit. If a non-Spirit creature within range dies, Edge of Extinction deals 14...43 damage to all creatures of the same type that are below 90% Health and within range of the Spirit. This Spirit dies after 30...126 seconds."

It doesnt kill the bosses because i noticed that after the troll guys die the boss is still at around 50% health. so EoE wont damage them.

I guess the only way the bosses can be killed is if we spam fire spells like that on the first page.

Kephet's refuge = 2-3k - universal 20/20 recharge +20% longer enchants +5 energy
Rago's flame staff = 70K+
Galigord's Stone Staff = 10K whats the diff between this and kephet's except looks, I dont use my staff to attack anyway

kepkhets isn't universal 20/20, its 20% cast on prot and universal 20% recharge.
You can't say its the preferred weapon; Rago's would be better with 20% casting on fire.

Like with Flame Djinn's Haste, just because you don't have it doesn't mean it isn't the best choice.

I guess the only way the bosses can be killed is if we spam fire spells like that on the first page. That doesn't make sense and I did kill them with EoE, look back a few pages.

The conditional damage on EoE requires a creature to be under 90% health; by the time the regular trolls die, the boss is under 90% health, and does take damage from EoE. Your problem was that there weren't enough trolls in the group you were using (less deaths = less EoE damage).

And btw, spamming fire spells to kill them isn't as easy as it sounds. When mist form runs out, the boss starts smacking you with 80-100 dmg a hit. Sure, lava font makes him run away, but he also runs in and hits a few times. If he hits a few times too many, you're dead.

a perfect Insightful Staff Head - 2K
a perfect Staff Wrapping of Enchanting - 8K
a Fire Staff obtained from a Collector - free unless you buy the mats/staff

Total price for a duplicate Rago's(except the skin): 10K

Thats what I use for mine :P

Like with Flame Djinn's Haste, just because you don't have it doesn't mean it isn't the best choice. all you need is a 20/20 recharge , speeding up a cast can cause them to scatter early

but yeah I just think its a prefered cheap weapon

If he hits a few times too many, you're dead. its seriously easy, when i kill the bosses they hit me 1-2 times max sometimes not at all, just gotta keep lava font up and spam inferno with lava font to make him run for a second you only have 6 seconds of danger and in that time all you do is make him run away =P and with my 20/20 recharge im sometimes lucky for that top work on mist form.... easy!

but yeah I just think its a prefered cheap weapon Speeding up a cast is speeding up the run; and 'scattering'? They don't scatter... They don't have a chance. 1-2 steps is as far as they get if they do decide to run, in which case the Flame Burst still hits them (which is why it's better than Inferno).

Preferred weapon means 'best for the run', not 'best cheap one you can get for the run'

P.S. please stop saying "20/20 recharge". You mean 20% recharge; 20/20 is used to refer to 20% cast AND 20% recharge.

Yes, your way works (I've done it lots of times to test + compare), but it isn't perfect...

Taking into account the time you take to recharge energy and meteor shower(90 secs with glyph), the EoE build I used is much faster for killing bosses. And, mine has the added benefit of being under Mist Form the whole time; completely safe.

And you still haven't given a reason why you still list Inferno rather than Flame Burst. Burst is a wider range and half the recharge time, which covers enough AoE if the trolls decide to run and it's much more spammable. It may be 15 less damage in one cast, but you can cast two for every one Inferno.

And you still haven't given a reason why you still list Armor of Mist rather than Flame Djinn's Haste.

My point is you list the 'preferred build' and 'preferred weapon' but you really aren't... you're listing what you use. Everyone who stops by this thread reads that first post; it needs to be the best possible, not the best you have available.

And as for flame Burst vs inferno, you don't need that 15 more damage to kill regular trolls, and you say you spam lava font + inferno for the bosses. Spamming spells, flame burst is on top. 2 bursts for every 1 inferno means that burst is dealing more damage. "woop woop"

Actually, I like armor of mist better than Flame Djinn's Haste for this. I dont have a problem killing them, so its pointless for me to take another AoE skill.

You might be able to use Flame Djinn's Haste more often than armor of mist, but I like how long armor of mist lasts.

In all honestly, flame djinn's haste is worse for this run, because you dont need the damage and armor of mist lasts longer and gives you more protection for when you need it.

I like the armor and duration on Armor of Mist, too, but the extra dmg is nice for spamming the bosses and I love a 3/4 sec cast time.
