Since I'm 73 right now, maybe I'll just give up on it lol
What OW mobs will bolas really help against? Because eyes have ranged attacks, and are reasonably fast. Golems have their skills. I'm not sure about kelpies and trees because I've only been there once. If there really aren't any mobs that bolas really affects, I don't know about keeping it.
Its not just about whether they can attack, its what kind of attack they bring. Back in the day, I took less dmg from eye ranged than from eye melee - so bolas was great solo lvling on them. Trees too. And stone dudes - if you have enough hp and fort to survive/withstand their earthquakes and boulders. Otherwise you have those PLUS their melee - ugh.
And bolas still kicks with wyvs, tho on blackstones I find it not so useful - spikes and just hitting as much as poss!
With my dex build I almost never get hit by melee. So the majority of dmg I get is spells. I am going to be adding more vit asap to contend with the golems though- they should be able to max my fortitude.
I just hope that after I hit level 120 I can heal about 550-600 because I am prolly going to need it. Also after 120 I might invest in bolas once again but I am still not sure at all. I didn't like eyes. After I got to the blue eyes I have decided I like every eye except the blues, I hate those. Trees are awesome and hit like babies- enough said. Golems seem to be tree and kelpie combined. A lot of health and hard hitting spells. Once I start getting to the end of oak training I might try golems. Or Ill move to the white ghosts.
Bolas still works well on wyvs? I didn't think so because of the well... height and ranged attacks. Before I hit 100 a dragon one shotted me because he had 10 more dmg than I had health. Quite an unpleasant surprise I assure you. Now I can take a fireball and a melee or two.
Blackies just don't like me and I don't like them. I kill them when possible, as they do to me. I do prefer them to leave me alone when they have 30 odd levels on me but oh well. If certain ones wanna try killing me I will tank through and kill them instead!
That said, I have always thought that running around wastes dps and time. I would rather heal in between rapid and ss with a barbed thrown in every once in awhile. Unfortunately mob spells only increased this difficulty I was having, so I dropped bolas and switched to a dex build. Best thing I ever did as far as my mains build is concerned. Summer is coming so maybe I will get lucky and get my hands on a pair or two of either radiant or greater earthstone greaves.
All the same, If one manages to avoid mob's melee attacks at the least, that's a good thing. And I wish ya well and good luck with the spell attacks.
