[Discussion] Botting efficiency and build theorycrafting

Yeah I can see good uniques dropping in the higher tiers, very good point. I definitely will try srs on higher tier maps. Do you have your settings to ignore the regular map chests? My only issue is that with my builds im experimenting with they die alot in tier 8-9 and above. Thanks for the suggestion, I think this thread needs more information like this in here.

 

So I still use Mapbuddy..no chests at all for me. MF doesn't effect chests, so I don't see any point at all in opening chests unless MAYBE you're in a t15-16 map. I use skill aware player mover for movement, flaskhelper for flask..help. Stashbuddy for chancing (sorcerer boots, occultist's, onyx amulets). Open every breach and monolith.

Check out the build's section on shaping your atlas. I run only 6 different maps - with the MF and atlas work, I end up finding more maps than I can use. When that's the case, deaths don't matter so much. I got my character up to the mid-90s and now deaths are just a time drag, and that's how I treat them - as a slow down in clear speed rather than a death.

Also... there's no build available that's gonna run t8-t9 maps flawlessly without some investment. My build definitely isn't cheap and anyone else running high tier maps has surely invested ex's into gear -- all in I'm easily at 100+ exalted spent getting my character set up. Start with T1-3, and work your way up - even 10 chaos an hour easily translates into gear upgrades over the course of a day or more.

 

How long do you usually bot per day?

 

24/7.

 

Seriously? Never banned?

 

Negative.

 

Has anyone tried the trials settings for mapbot? I wonder which ones would be the easiest for the bot to run, I can imagine the bot would die alot to traps and stuff wouldnt it?

 

The bot won't run them. It will just stop when it's finding any trial so you can do it on your own.

 

What builds would you guys said are all available for starting a new league? I'm especially thinking about 2.6.0 since I don't know what to start. I'm planning on 2-3 accounts from the beginning on the same build, so I can just think about and plan my bot-config right now and just let it start with the league

It have to be a build which is not dependant on any special uniques and is still tanky enough to reach mid-range mapping. Thought about a warchief totem build or sth like that but doesn't have experience with it.
I've started to play a firestormer but the bot isn't dodging good enough to carry it, since you haven't got any lifeleech etc. ...

What do you guys think?

 

firestorm

 

totem / dual totem firestorm, or just player casted?

 

I thought I would contribute a little. I play only hardcore so not dying is essential to me.
So far i've tried these builds:
Pathfinder BladeVortex, peaked out at around T5-T6 maps, then died to oneshot.
EQ Slayer, was really good and easy to level with as long as you had twink gear, peaked out at around T3 maps but did them very fast and extremely safe.
SRS, Zombie, Spectres Necro, it's what i'm doing right now and it's pretty clunky and slow, spectres has to be manually summoned.
King/queen of the forest, barrage single target and lightning arrow as aoe, created my own CR for this one, was absolutely amazing, decent clearspeed and cleared up to T12 without dying. Much thanks to the custom CR tho.

Do you guys have any experience about hardcore?

 

link build

 

Was thinking about building this. Would you be willing to share the CR?

 

How are ppl making 30c/hour , I'm farming dried lake with full IIQ/IIR gear on custom build around 4 min/run and I barely make 3c /h , not to mention amulets dont drop so I can't finish chaos recipe very often
Help me pls, rather new to eb, I've been reading these forums all day but couldn't find any decent farming methods ._.

 

Quit farming dried lake and you'll find out why no one farms dried lake anymore.

 

Botting atm till t14/t15 with exilbuddy as vaal spark templar...hitting lvl 100 next time.
Most of the 24hours a day the bot run deathless

Ignore all bossrooms is a big speedboost(avg. runtimes per map)
