So I have money to spend coinciding with deciding to get back into this. For tabs, is there a suggested purchase order? I'm guessing the currency one is the boss, but what do I get after that?

Would a Necro make a decent starter for the new league?`I'm waffling between that and a totem build, and I've done totems so many times, but never a summoner. Also, does a summoner bring their summons when they teleport places? Asking in regards to the arena style fights with beasts for the new league.

So I'm reaching the point where I want to do more crafting than just "apply vaal orb to item". Is there a decent guide somewhere for item crafting? The last time I played actively was just before Forsaken Masters released.

So many uniques and rares are priced absurdly low, because people look at whatever is the lowest costing equivalent and go "Well, mine has much shittier rolls/sockets/mods" and throw it out for cheaper, then it snowballs downhill from there.

So my Necro is approaching the point where I've got her fully geared up and I'm starting to contemplate a second character. What is the buffest melee duder around? I want the most resilient build I can find after durdling around as a somewhat squishy necro.

How are you squishy as a necro? Running flesh offering instead of bone (+block conversion) or something? Necros are one of the easiest classes to become tanky since there's not that many minion nodes to get, and minimal pathing is needed so boatloads of life / MOM mana is available.

I'm running maximum damage with Charity Aegis and Offering. I still have 6k between life and ES, but if anything scary starts wailing on me I fold pretty quickly. With proper positioning, I never die, but I want something with a bit more oomph, that deals physical, so I can get a different gearing experience.

Are there any decent strength archer builds these days?

Currency management on console seems like it'd be a special kind of hell.

So what's a cool and good ranged starter build with high clear speed these days? All my previous starts have been totems/summoners or tanky melee and I want to do something new this time.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for the guild invite! I'll be logging in before league starts so that I hopefully don't get kicked out again, haha.


Oh, I'm totally fine with tried&true since I haven't tried most of them. I don't know what gc means but is arc totem hiero any good? Like I said I want something that doesn't struggle with red maps once geared because all the other stuff I've done was really strong. I struggled with self-cast arc witch but that was also my first character and I had a much poorer understanding of gearing.

Arc totem hiero is one of the tried and true builds.

I just want to level up a bunch of stuff using mechanics I havent interacted with, which is why I was acting for non-meta builds. I know how to Arc my way through everything but I havent used any builds that use Frenzy charges, or that summon minions, etc. I just wanna dip my fingers into everything, Ill only end up playing 1 or 2 of those chars past act 4 most likely.

The issue with doing this is that a lot of builds just don't play anything like their endgame selves during act 1-10.

It takes less than a second before I click the waypoint and zoom to my hideout. Plus all the really cool and good MTX are gem replacements, so you don't get to see them in town anyway. Maybe if they allowed minions in town so I would be unable to press the waypoint I'd spend more time admiring peoples getup.

So they removed one extra totem from heiro but gave the the passive tree another totem. I dont know how effective the extra totem per cast will be when heiro already summons totems super quick

Very useful. Makes clearing much faster because you click less.

The real travesty is that you can't stack multiple sources of extra totem per cast.

Can I get 5 choas for this?

Important note: If a weapon says "Adds x elemental damage" it only adds that when you hit something with the weapon, using a normal attack or skill. It will not add that damage to a spell. Had it said "Adds x elemental damage to spells" you might have had something, but people generally want at least 2, preferably more, damage modifiers on their weapon.

You should also push up to 14s/15s. My arc trapper is at 89, with so-so gear(except a self-made loreweave) as I've stopped buying poo poo for it in favor of a jugg I'm rolling up. Sure, it's arc and all, but everything I've heard puts BV chieftan pretty high up on the viability list, so I can't see them being a problem, except maybe having some more restrictions in the mods you can run.
