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.
