Glacor help.

[Noxx]

I set myself a goal of getting 50m Magic xp at Glacors (whether i'll stick to it it or not, i don't know yet).

For the first 1m Xp i've been using Seasinger with Virtus Boots and Gloves, with a Chaotic Staff. With this setup i'm averaging 78 kills per hour (as i have been ever since i started using this setup). This is my average over about 2k kills.

I was wondering what i could do to improve this.

I can afford either Virtus Book and Wand, or a Virtus Set, but not both (right now). I can, however, afford a Virtus Set and Wand with an Abyssal Orb, but i'm not sure if that would be better than sticking to a Chaotic Staff.

I don't have the money for T90 weapons or armor, so that's not really an option.

 

Another thing, will switching from Seasing to Virtus increase my KPH by any significant amount?

If it gets me 5 or 6 more KPH i don't really see it as worth it, since that will only save me a few hours in the long run, but if it gets me like 10KPH more, it might be a different story.

I believe my ability usage is not the problem. I've played around with it quite a bit and think the one i'm using now is "good".

Virtus is definitely worth it, even Subjugation if you can get away with that. Since Virtus would be about 10% extra dps if using vwand and book (less with staff, presumably), I'd expect you to gain about 5-7 kph, plus a couple for the wand/book upgrade? It really is the only upgrade you can get, so unless you are using that cash to merchant, just get it.

 

Speeding up glacors is a matter of discrete units of course, it's one extra attack that you need to use, or not. Getting a glacor to 10 lp is no better than getting one to 500 lp, since that's both one hit anyway. I don't know exactly whether Virtus is on the right side of that balance, but concentrated blast is very good. Until it gets nerfed, vwand + abyss orb + virtus armour is your best bet (assuming Subj + virtus wand/book is too low armour).

I tried Full Virtus including Book and Wand, and shockingly it only rasied my kph by like 3 or 4, and that was when i was going hard.

I realised where my mistakes are though, and that's at luring. I spend too much time killing Enduring, meaning Unstable almost always explodes while im working on Sapping. So i need to get used to the luring and things should go a bit better.

Remember that using the chain basic will lure the enduring over to you for free.

Try bloodfire barrage and titan, I am usually able to kill all 3 before or right when unstable explodes. If you were attacking the glacor at maximum range, I have found that it is sufficient for dealing with enduring - take a step or two back if you really want to. I usually autoattack it once, then chain it as it moves with the other glacytes, then it usually dies after conc blast. With ss, I can get away with void..but of course, it is less relaxing; virtus is worth upgrading to in the long run.
