On a side note, regarding Stone of Jordan or any other item with +elemental damage, the bonus damage is applied to all your skills, not just skills with that damage type, as long as the affix doesn't mention skills. So any stone of jordan damage type will work and add extra damage. I mention this because in section 5 of the guide you mention Stone of Jordan and +arcane damage. The only issue is the bonus damage is only applied to your total minumum physical damage. Also this extra damage does show up on your in game damage number, so people considering switching to a Stone of Jordan won't see quite as much of a dps drop on their char sheet as they might think.
That's good to know. I was considering getting a SoJ. Thanks for the info
I've been playing around with an Archon spec and have a question about the farming route you mentioned.
"8. Take the waypoint to keep level 1, zone into the keep level 2 right away and do a full clear of the place"
When you say do a full clear of the place, do you mean all 3 levels, or just level 2? If it's all 3 levels, do you start with level 2, head to level 3, take lvl 3 waypoint back to lvl 1 to clear that backwards?
Keep levels 1 and 3 are more sparse and less circular. I found keeping Archon up hard. Once you get the hang of the general layouts of Keep level 2, you will find that it is the easiest place to keep Archon up.
So, to summarize, do only keep level 2.
PS: Watch out for those suicidal monsters.
I would like to mention that I follow Alkaizer path with Rakkis added in, and I rarely lose Archon form. Then again, I do not pickup anything except legendaries and I am only a bit slower without Archon. The biggest requirements to keeping it up are your DPS and run speed.
