When should i go into the labyrinth?

[Rob_Neto]

I came back to the game recently and didn't went to the labyrinth yet. My witch is lvl 42 on hardcore and now i have to kill Malachai. Since he's a tough boss (at least for me) i would like to start my ascendance class for an extra help.

Since the labyrinth is level 33 it should be easy, but i heard some people saying that the fight against Izaro is extremely dificult, and not suit for level 33, not even close. Some people are going there at level 50.

So, overpowered high geared game breaking builds aside, what you guys think? Izaro on normal is really that difficult, even for a level 42? When should i get my ascendance then?

How much hp do u got ? what build do u have ?

It just happens that the witch is extremly weak in this game. So it doesn't matter if you have a strong build at all, you probably have very low life and your skills take very little damage from bosses, right? I know that, 'cus I own a witch lvl54.

However, if you had a character like the Ranger, you could try out your luck whatsoever. If you can't even beat dominus on cruel mode on your own, don't even try ascendancy. It's just a waste of time.

It's a freezing pulse build focus on energy shield (going to get chaos inoculation later). I believe i have around 1100 ES plus 700 life, and 1600 damage with my main attack, elemental resistance are capped.

If you plan to switch to CI later on, build for life now and respec later when you can manage 6k+ ES or you will be in trouble. If you are new to the game, avoid ES builds all together especialy in HC. Proper CI builds are not cheap to do correctly. Not reccomended for anyone that does not have a lot of game experience and currency.

These are pitted fights what nibble away your energy shield.

You should not have rolled hardcore on your first character. If these bosses don't kill you you will loose your character within a few maps. Because you don't know what you're up to and the witch offers little room for recovery.

I play as a pure summoner Witch, and I found it quite easy at level 30. The only thing that ever actually posed a threat was the traps.

Yea, that was the main reason i gave up on the trying to complete the map. Those traps just wrecked me. That, and losing connection in the middle of the map. I just gave up on the entire game at this point.

Guys, ty for the tips on my build, but what i really wanna know is which one is easier now, malachai or izaro (both on normal)??

[Awesome!]

i think izaro is probably easier but it depends on what mechanics he has on a given day.

i think the instant one shot death potential is higher for izaro too though.

Thx, turns out i decided to kill malachai (and succeeded, yay!). Since the first acts are quite easy i guess i will wait until I get to act 3 on cruel to try to labyrinth.

I did my first normal lab run today with my level 50 character. I had around 1,8k HP.

Monsters will be very easy to kill and they're not dangerous. Traps deal %HP so no matter what level you go they will deal a lot of damage. Izaro wasn't very difficulty either (the final fight against him can be a bit tricky because it contains traps, I just had to face-tank him).
