    Should have transmuted that ring of haste IMO. Also pretty low armour. Aim for armour 4-6 ranked.

      Right on. I intentionally didn’t look up any builds or guides. I just went with what was working for me, so I actually burned all my transmutation scrolls to get that ring of haste early enough to level it.

      With the ring of haste I was basically able to strafe almost all damage from level 20 till arriving with the ring. I think I only needed one potion of healing on the way up. I basically didn’t need armor because I never got hit. Once you learn the attack patterns you just move away, and in a pet build, send in your rose spirit or earth golem to fight.

      I think in the future I would stick with, at least in mage, the same approach of damage avoidance rather than damage tolerance.

        Ring of Haste is the best ring for ranged classes. I don’t know why anyone would say to transmute it. You were right to use it. However, I usually stop at +3. That used to be enough for just over +100% speed, and now it’s just under, which is still fine.

        Yeah, you can go about it that way. I’ve just been nuked before by getting backed into corners and not having armour. Not being able to take a hit, especially when you need to, really sucks.

        Surprising no one, I do much better at melee builds
