Magsorc no monster set

Trying to find a great damage setup for maelstrom, been switching between 5 necropotence and 3 ancient grace vs necro and 4 infal with the staff.

I also tried 5/5 necropotence infal, 5/5 necropotence bsw, and hated scathing mage.

I just don't know about ilambris...should I try kena again or slimecraw?

I've done flawless on all the above setups, but want to beat my friends 550k score on my magsorc.

Any other tips for high score runs? I try not to open chests lol

    the setup doesn't really matter - whatever gets you through the quickest.

    Dont use any sigils, don't die, and finish in 50 mins or less ... that'll pretty much always be 540-570k

    What if a digit helps me burn a boss faster? Like I can kill the ice boss on the second platform (or right after) and that saves time right?

    I'm all about infernal guardian, great for killing ranged adds while you deal with other things.

    I was going to test this yesterday but didn't have time... was hoping it helped on certain rounds like 5 where you have to hunt down those ranged jerks...

    So... does it?

    Also, i heard this set will hit the crystals on round 9 from the bottom..... so.... does it?

    Infernal guardian often hits things it shouldn't, e.g. Wrong boss at stage 2 and menders at stage 7 boss. Be cautious :D

    Well if it hits the farthest target... i'm sure theres a way to be a little careful on stage 7. I always had grothdar kill the mender i was standing by... so i dont run that anymore.
    on stage two... yeah its a dps loss but at least it won't screw you over.

    You think the benefits out-weigh the risk still? Illambris 2p really doesn't do a whole lot of extra damage anyway in vma.

    I drag them into a clump @2 so the aoe always hits one of them. I have a hvy attack mag dk build so I pop a 16k shield, do a heavy, pop a shield, so I'm continually doing aoe lightning while fireballs are launching. Every other monster set is a passive proc, IG goes off when you tell it to.

    This way I'm constantly protected while dpsing and if I do get hit I can heal myself while bubbled and still doing some damage.

    So infernal worked on improvement, but does it really hit the crystals on the second floor? Daedroth spawned so much I could even tell lmao

    Ilambris doesn't work that well for me there, and I only have lightning damage anyways.

    Slimecraw looking good I'll report results if I ever get the damn shoulders.

    Last thoughts: 5 infal (with staff) 1 kena 5 necropotence

    Or

    5 bsw 5 necropotence maelstrom fire maelstrom lightning.

    Feel free to help me find the best setup. My Stamford friends are unbeatable score-wise but I think I'm a better player and want my name on the leaderboards >:( (jk I love them but jelly a lil)

    Necro Infal and Grothdarr or Ilambris.

    Then just work on your speed in each round. Don't focus adds separately, try to kill all adds at the same time etc.

    Yeah sorry does't work with staves got it wrong. Still 5 Necro and 5 BSW is pretty damn epic for anything that isn't a trial.

    Why no monster set? That is the fastest way do burn down the boss.

    If the challenge is to beat your friend's score without monster set then that's really not a forum question - it is a personal challenge that has to be solved by yourself.. that's the whole point of the challenges - to find a solution by yourself.

    Anyway all mentioned sets are very good and can get you good scores and if lucky you can get top scores with those too.

    Cheers!

    I've been using: 5 necropotence 5 spinner 1 Ilambris. 5 spinner front with sharp staff. Back bar sharp Maelstrom staff.
  • Hyde_Jekyll
    for pet build I would use 5 necro,infallible aether/moon dancer jewelry (no need to be gold), lightning sharpened staff front bar. (Back bar it doesn't matter. But if you happen to get a clear a get a lightning maelstrom staff (no need to be sharpened for now since that's bis) I would slot a lightning staff on the back bar for blockade. For monster helm IMO grothdar is the best. Tried skoria, infernal and you would notice the dps difference. Specially on bosses destro ulti+grothdar proc melts bosses
