In terms of leveling starter characters in new leagues or in self found, what's more important in terms of progressing -- 4/5 links or rare stats? I find I seem like I hit a problem even in leveling builds where I either find my 4Ls early and then get locked into pretty crappy gear because I can't get anything else good to drop and don't want to drop all my gem links, or have decent rare rolls but immediately blow all my fusings trying to get 4Ls and a 5L on my chest.

Stats are probably more important. Your DPS drops to 0 if you're dead, after all. vvv Having one 4L for your main skill is legit though

I stopped really caring about trying to get a 4l for anything but my main skill and it super helped the leveling process. like, you probably don't need a 4l CWDT setup until maps, who really cares about your orb of storms + curse on hit + ele weakness setup for bossing, etc. Manually cast your golem, set up some auras, get a good 4l for your main skill and movement skill and your probably all set.

Aerox posted:In terms of leveling starter characters in new leagues or in self found, what's more important in terms of progressing -- 4/5 links or rare stats? The proper answer is it depends on build, but the practical one is neither. Every class can level with 3 links. Sure, 4-5 is better and awesome max rolled mods is great, but far more important than all of that is making sure you're using skills suitable for levelling.

Both links and stats are important, it's not an either/or situation. It's worth wearing an item with bad stats if it's your only 4 link option but probably not worth wearing a 2nd bad item just for the 4th link.

Don't bother trying to link anything yourself until maps. Just alch or essence a random white 4link you find and use it for your main skill until you get to endgame, barring finding a better 4link. You can use the rest of your gear to fill in life and Res and don't really need much else in the way of links for most builds until finishing them up.

Cool, thanks! Similar question as well -- when you're leveling a more expensive build that requires a bunch of specific uniques, are there any kind of goto skills/builds to use for leveling when your main build is totally non-feasible for pre map content before you get your level 66/70 uniques? I've only been playing budget/starter builds that are viable from the getgo, and when I look at a lot of builds on the forums they often don't have any info other than a fully completed skill tree and a list of end game gear and I'm never sure how to get to that point. Thanks for all the responses! Coming back has been fun so far and I think I'm really going to dive in seriously for this next league.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Are there any builds out there that use Bladefall or is it just a terrible skill? A few leagues back (actually, more than a few now that I think about it) I did a maxblock Gladiator that used Aegis Aurora to be nigh-unkillable and ran Blade Flurry CWC Bladefall for offense. It was fun.

A few thoughts about veiled mods: 1) Veiled mods seem to be in the same category as benchcrafted mods, suggesting that they can probably be rerolled if you have an item with great rolls and a crappy veiled mod. 2) Some veiled mods could be quite rare. Therefore, there could be enormous trade value in landing a rare one on your account and then selling the ability to benchcraft them for others. There could also be value in mass selling veiled items in hopes that one of them will roll your desired veiled mod. 3) If the ability to craft these mods sticks post-Betrayal, any standard players are going to want to play as much Betrayal as possible to power up their entire account.

Is there anything comparable in terms of being very tanky and not needing to push many buttons to RF Jugg? I've played that a few times in recent leagues and I'm starting to get a bit bored of it, but stuff where I have to spam abilities, though cooler, does get annoying for me. Maybe summoner? Is there any hot new tech in terms of gems/uniques for either of those?

Soulwrest (a unique staff) makes for a fun extra variety of summoner. Pair it with permanent minions or rely on the phantasms it makes with any corpse consuming skill. It's quite strong, though I don't know that it has the potential to scale quite as drastically as other builds.

A lot of summoner builds actually require a lot of button pushing, you've got your offering, spell to curse and proc EE, your movement skill, your summon for temp summons or convocation for permanent summons and potentially an additional spell to create corpses for your offering during boss fights. I've probably felt more ability slot starved on summoners than just about any other build. You can automate with cwdt or cut some of these out but you're likely cutting efficiency to do so. You can also look at specific builds like soulwrest that cut out the need to summon or convocate.

What time of day does the league start usually? I know mid league patches tend to be very late evening for me (the signal that I should go to bed), is that still the case and if so is it the Thursday/Friday or Friday/Saturday? I usually just get into it on the Saturday but I've got some leave to burn and figured I may as well take a day for monster clicking.

A lot of melee builds use one main skill, warchief and their movement skill. All other skills can be tied into cwdt.

So, I'm thinking of playing with a Slayer (SSF), maybe with Cyclone or Earthquake or something. Played around a bit with a Double Strike Slayer this league and fell in love with the absurd leech. Good or bad idea? My goal is being able to do T12 to T15s (maybe 16?) fairly comfortably. Edit: Oh yeah, obviously using 2H.

Should be solid. Reasonable 2h uniques are pretty common nowadays, and vaal ds can shore up your dps for bosses. I'd just go scion with slayer as one of the picks, but you do you

What advantages do mines have over traps and torems? Trying to figure out why there's so many gc mine builds and not gc traps/totems

GC totems are definitely a thing but mines are nice because the mine support gem gives a big damage multiplier and the targeting on them works better than if you used traps (for GC specifically).

Death's oath + Blight on a trickster is very simple. Shield charge around, shoot a quick blight and everything is dead. One added button for bosses to place your wither totem. It's not as tanky or as damaging as RF jugg but it's fast and fun.
