Need help with ToPK 

Ya, i havn't done ToPK for a bit, and they did that Order of the vampire nerf, so i was wondering if anyone here knew the new orders build for ToPK.

Btw i already checked the guides section, it had one but that was before the nerf, thanks.

RE: Need help with ToPK 

Order of the Vampire is well, a must. And then just mix up with random blood skills. Or mix it up with some curses and toss soe points into that instaed of Reaping. As long as you have Orders, it doens't really matter what build you run.

RE: Need help with ToPK 

i dont even take OoV anymore, sure, it provides a little boost to the ranger health, but not enough to prevent death from an attack anyway... i bring...

healing breeze
OoP
Blood Renewal
Blood Rit
SS/life transfer
Mark of Pain (yes, it's often AoE, but sh** dies too quick to matter)
Rebirth
whatever you want... i frequently stick in Suffering
or you can toss in a healing such as heal party or heal area

RE: Need help with ToPK 

Tomb of Primeval kings. And yea, unless you are using a vamp, fast shooting, increased by skill attack speed bow then oov is pretty much useless. I rarely see it anymore when I do tombs.

Tomb of Primeval Kings is attached to the Dragon's Lair mission area and is another place to find green drops / ectoplasm.

RE: Need help with ToPK 

On my Order I use:

1) Order of the Vampire
2) Heal Area
3) Blood Ritual
4) Blessed Aura - only 10% but it does the job
5) Shadow Strike
6) Heal Party
7) Vampiric Gaze
8) Rebirth - rez

The blood attack skills are for those times when one of the foes breaks through. Usually thats enough to finish it or them off.

Blessed Aura usually gives me enough time with a 20% enchanted staff to keep OoV up at all times.

Heal area is for myself and slow times with the minions.

RE: Need help with ToPK 

I found out that the best build for TOPK orderis: (for me at least)

1. Order of Vampire (lots of dmg + heal)
2. Blood Renewal
3. Healing breeze
4. Awaken
5. Blood Ritual
6. Heal Area
7. Heal Party
8. Rebirth

1. Why not OoP?

Does not work anymore with OoV, and I would rather have OoV than Oop because of dmg and the heal.

2. Why not bring attack spells/skills?

Your tittle already says it ORDERS NECRO

3.With Awaken you sacrifice too much HP?

With Hb and Blood Renewal you become invincible. ( At least to sacrifice health)

4. I hardly ever use HP HA, there is no need, with oov the b/p rangers are already healing themselves and if they know what they're doing monk will have no problem healing.

they are identical other than the fact, OoV gives the ranger 3-13 health each time (even if it counts for each of the 5 arrows in a barrage) in general, they dont need the heal at that point, and if they are being attacked by a grasp, the +13 does squat for them... there are better elites to carry IMHO :P

nope, wont stand up to a steady spamming of OoV, you have no progressive over time healing, casting heal party is a waste unless you are almost dead (dangerous) and heal area, is bad if foes are near. really advise healing breeze or blood renewal. Also, using OoV, you cant spam it, takes longer to recharge, just slightly I know, but will prohibit constant running = lost opportunities for quicker kills. (yes it works, i know, just less bang for your buck)

Maybe you're not able to spam like OoP , but I have no problem with a +20 enchtment sword/axe and the blood icon 20/20.

P.s: That's for Topk orders, IWAY is another story.

No, they're not identical, and gives you 19 dmg and heal if you know what u doing (blood lvl 18), 13 if your a monk trying to use orders,and do the math lets say 3 arrows x 19= 57, so yes it does squat, and first of all thats why you have mm and pets so they can tank.

read closer, i pointed out that OoV gives health, which 90% of the time a ranger doesnt need at all... if in fact things go bad, and a grasp gets thru, the additional health bonus from 1 arrow shot at the incoming target (likely you wont be barraging a group while getting beat on) doesnt accomplish squat... I still stand by my assertion that OoV is not the best elite to take anymore... in addition to the fact, it has a 5 second recharge rate... so you cant keep it 'up' every second of battle...
and pleaseeee, tell me that a taking a mm and having pets prevents a ranger from getting hit... things go quirky quite frequently, especially at the beginning of stage 2, and during the section of stage 2 that i call meteor alley, where all the dryders are, and occasionally the beginning of stage 4.

19 dmg and heal if you know what u doing (blood lvl 18)
you dont have to 'know what you are doing', to get the 19, you just need AtB, i posted base benefits/damage from the skill in question

LOL, Grognar's Defender? Exact same stats as the Crimson Carpace shield and uglier skin to boot. Let's hope you meant Victo's Shield.

RE: Need help with ToPK 

I saw someone running a really weird idea of a build, but it was working.

Order of Pain
Blood is Power

for the rest, I didn't pay attention, but I assume they were blood skills.

When we first got into Tombs, he casted BIP a bunch, so his max life was at 1 HP. That way, he could spam OOP and BIP without death. He just stayed at the back outta attack range and we did great, until we lost the MM and Monk. I'd suggest trying it at least once.

RE: Need help with ToPK 

A little better build...
Blood 12 + 3(superior) +1 (head)=16
Soul Reaping 9 + 3(superior)=12
Healing 9-10 (everything else)

Skills on the bar in order.

Order of Pain, Order of Vampire, Awaken the Blood, healing breeze, heal party, blood ritual, mending, and either Vengence, rebirth, or restore life...(I'm leaning toward vengence as it gives full health/energy for 30 seconds, which is usually long enough for a group to recover if someone goes down, only takes 4 seconds unstead of 8, and doesn't zap all of your energy).

This build maintains your energy as well of your health WITHOUT the need of heal area or a monk. Your health is reduced to the low 300's which allows your +3 (mending)with +6 (healing breeze) to keep up your health. The +12 soul reaping is fantastic as you can maintain almost constantly both orders at the same time without any pause. With +19 on all the time, rangers rip through enemies.

I've not failed at with this build except when some ranger pulls like 15 enemies at once. The real "hard" areas where the enemies are high on the right and left and popups in the middle are easy because the rangers are so strong with orders.
I use the collector staff with 20/20 and added 5energy insigful head with 20% enchanting.

Keep the favor for America

You Been Necroed

*sigh* what is the purpose of keeping both orders on at the same time? You can keep OoP up all the time as well, it recharges before it expires (whereas OoV does not) And yes, any good ranger team can rip thru Tombs if orders is maintained, i dont think it is anything special
