I've been having a little trouble ever since I started Khrysalis. My gear set now is not really supporting my [normally] solo play through with the bosses and such. Soloing these bosses isn't easily at all [for me anyway], but I still manage it... not much anymore however. I recently just reached "The Hive" part of the world, and; to my not-so-surprised reaction. - I was pounded down by the White Furs in the cell, and I didn't even have that much trouble with them in the desert part.
I'm trying to get a hold of the Avalon crafted gear, but that will allow me to loose allot of damage. Malistaire's armor is nearly impossible to get, [for me anyway.]
Is there any gear around that's easy to get, but helpful in the least?
The Hive dungeons are tough since most of them are 4 against 1. So, don't be discouraged if your Ice is having a bit of a difficult time.
Gear for Ice is a matter of piecing together what you can. I try to keep my Ice with high resist and high block, but I do have gear to switch out with if I need more critical.
What I have:
Hat: Trader's Wintery Mantle L96 (crafted)
Robe: Woodland Tribal Coat L74 (crafted) - has the best overall resistance IMO
Boots: (There are several options that I have and have used) Frost Shine Slippers L80 (crown shop) Thaumaturge's Chill Waders L85 (crown shop) Frosted Mantis Footgear L96 (crafted) Winter Solstice Snowboots L100+ (winterland pack - xmas only) Winter Palace Calvary Boots L100 (xmas pack)
Athame: Shadow Spider's Sting L99 (Morganthe - you're not there yet. Good one to farm for, though) Frozen Mandibles of Sardonyx L96 (crafted) Hopper's Claw of Verglas L98 (crafted)
Necklace: Horizon of the Underworld Charm L82 (I think you can get this in the Bazaar, or else it's a drop) Knight's of the Wyrd Pendant L76 (drop)
Ring: Alpha & Omega Ring L90 (drop - Aquilla) Celestial Codex Ring L86 (drop)
A lot of my stuff is crafted - but some of my better stuff are drops or from packs. It's just a matter of piecing everything together to see what works best.
I also have some excellent Ice pets that have boosted my stats (resist, accuracy, damage), which help as well.
I hope the suggestions I provided help you out! Let me know if you have any other questions.
