Which Openclaw skills should I actually be prioritizing if I'm trying to solo those Level 45+ dungeons lately? I've been playing this class since the early alpha so I know the basic rotations and how the proc system works for the most part but ever since that 1.2 rebalance my old build just isnt cutting it for these solo runs. I used to rely heavy on the bleed stacks but the trash mobs are hitting way harder now and I'm finding myself kiting for like ten minutes just to clear a single room in the Iron Spire.
I'm trying to farm the full Void Essence set before the weekend event starts on Friday and I really dont have the gold to keep respeccing every time I realize I picked the wrong passive. I've only got about 3 or 4 hours a night to play after I get home from work so I need to be efficient here. Right now I'm running:
- Ravaging Strike (maxed out)
- Primal Roar (rank 3)
- Shadow Step (mostly for the mobility)
The problem is that Primal Roar feels kind of useless for solo sustain now? The defense buff is okay I guess but I'm totally lacking the burst to take down the mini-bosses before my cooldowns reset and I just get overwhelmed. Should I drop the roar for something like Blood Thirst or maybe go deeper into the left tree for those crit resets? I'm torn if I should go full glass cannon or if theres some middle ground I'm missing for the solo life...

I've had similar issues since the 1.2 patch and honestly it's been a massive disappointment. The bleed builds we used to rely on just aren't as good as expected anymore. The developers really tuned the Iron Spire mobs to punish anyone who doesn't have massive flat damage reduction. Unfortunately, trying to make Ravaging Strike work as your sole source of damage is just gonna lead to those long kiting sessions you mentioned. It's just not efficient for farming. You need to drop Primal Roar. It's basically a dead skill slot for soloing now because the defense buff doesn't scale well against the elite mobs. My direct recommendation is to swap it for Blood Thirst and focus on the rank 5 upgrade immediately. It provides the reliable sustain you're missing. I also suggest a few passive changes:
- Vanguard Plate (mandatory for Iron Spire)
- Iron Lung (for stamina management) These aren't as exciting as crit resets but they prevent the burst damage from ending your run early. Also, make sure your hardware isn't the bottleneck for your timing. I recently switched to the Logitech G502 X Plus Wireless Gaming Mouse and mapping my defensive cooldowns to the thumb buttons made a huge difference. I also upgraded to the ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ 27 inch Monitor recently to see those ground telegraphs better, which has been a lifesaver. Stay away from the glass cannon route for now. It's way too risky with the current mob aggro ranges. You're better off being slow and steady if you want that Void Essence set by Friday.

Saw this earlier but just getting to it now! Building on the earlier suggestion, I think dropping the roar is better for efficiency. You gotta kill faster!
- Feral Frenzy: Amazing for burst! Deletes mini-bosses way better than bleeds.
- Bone Breaker: Fantastic for shredding Spire mobs. Saves gold on potions! Good luck, you'll crush it! My Razer Tartarus V2 32 Key Programmable Keypad is a lifesaver.

I tried swapping Ghost Blur for Iron Hide recently. Blur's evasion is risky but faster, while Hide is safer, tbh. Be careful in Spire. My SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Keyboard really helped.
