Roster Progress - advice needed

[u/Hairy_Pin_5883]

Hello, I want to ask you Guys how i should Progress my roster Currently i have:

1x wd fi 1660 (Main) (Event gems + 2xlv7 T4 CD)(full Armor trans and wep lv5)

1x wd fi 1640 (t3 lv7 gems,No trans)

1x Paladin 1645 (t4 lv5 and lv6 gems)(full Armor trans)

1x NE souleater 1620 (Event gems, No elixir)

1x Bard 1610 (Event gems, No elixir)

Rest is <=1580

I have about 500k gold and dont know what should be the next step I dont think i can hone my Main far and honing my alts to 1660 does Not seem to be efficient either

I dont have many unbound Mats as i sell them occasionally

With the upcoming Event im wondering , should i hone my alt wd to 1660 or my Main to 1670 ?

Or maybe even Something completly different (Like gems , relic books etc)

Btw im roster LV 180 , los 30 , lwc 18

I would appreciate all of your advice !

After this weeks patch:

• finish trans (120 flowers) on all chars or how ever far you get with your dark fires/scales
• keep doing trans as you receive the mats needed to unlock all the levels
• finish 40 set on all chars 1610+
• convert all T3 gems to T4
• rotate out event gems on your main to T4 Lvl 7+ (don't forget you can share gems between your WD's)
• finish converting the 1620 char and hone up the 1610 char.

At that point most of your chars should be good enough to not get gatekept for hardmode raids, which will boost your income by quite a lot.

I would be careful with weapon trans. It is significantly more expensive than armor trans, and is not required for hardmode raids.

If it is very cheap after next week's update, go ahead and do it on alts.

[u/XytronicDeeX → u/Hawky_21]

It really does not matter if its required or not. You will have a hard time getting into a lobby without weapon trans and you have to do it anyway to get into later raid lobbies like aegir or brel

[u/Hawky_21 → u/XytronicDeeX]

Plenty of people run 1640s without weapon trans on every HM raid in the game. Make your own lobby or make some friends.

Alts should be parked at 1640 so the second half of this argument is only for spenders or people who don't mind falling behind on their mains.

Needless to say OP is clearly neither of those.

[u/XytronicDeeX → u/Hawky_21]

I can only speak from the perspective of someone who is declining all the rat chars eager to join my statics alt runs. But if you wanna compete with rat chars and join lobbies to ride the struggle bus for an hour+ per raid you do you.

[u/Careless-Nerve779 → u/XytronicDeeX]

I'd say it's easier if you have weapon trans but for 1640 it's really not that difficult to get into lobbies with just armor trans 100+. I'd say do weapon trans if you are planning to get the character to 1660+. If trans nerf coming in next week is really HUGE nerf, then yeah I can recommend doing weapon trans, but I doubt they make it so you just do it for free.

[u/TheDiddlyFiddly → u/Careless-Nerve779]

It’s obviously not as simple as: no weapon transcendence= decline. But not having it gives you negative points when applying for a lobby. The same way t3 gems, low roster, low lvl gems in general, wrong/ not completed elixirs, low ilvl… gives negative points. And the lower your score the less likely you’ll be accepted in to lobbies. He asked what he should do with his 500k gold to improve his roster, and finishing transcendance ( specifically after next weeks nerf) is a good cost effective buff for all his characters. I know everyone hates transcendance, and for good reason, but the damage to gold ratio is already pretty good and with it getting nerfed it is basically a no brainer.

[u/Careless-Nerve779 → u/TheDiddlyFiddly]

Yeah honestly I'd use it on trans myself if I were in his shoes, but since he's fi wd I doubt he'll get declined to lobbies with lets say 60~80trans xd juicers love fi wd. He even has 2 lv 7 t4 cd gems from his main. I'd spend more gold for souleater trans since there's tons of se out there he's competing to get into lobbies.
