Yeah end goal would be a Warlord's elder ring and a Shav's at which point you'd have no problem getting everything in. Until then maybe one curse on blasphemy and the other on an Orb/CoH setup and just level up Hatred until you can get a Shavs. Get down to Charisma if you can, and the other 4% reduced mana up on the top right for 16% total; will be easier to squeeze in Blasphemy/Dics/Herald for the first few days until you get the good stuff.

I was planning going on wander something for new league hoping PS would be good after rework. Yep that'll do pig :stare:

Edit: Now my issue is figuring out which ascendancy to go. Still leaning deadeye, but not a sure thing now.

I'm going to continue to never ever learn my lesson and go a new skill for league starter: Smite Scion with backup of going static strike or [insert any other attack skill].

Going Elementalist/Slayer with this as my initial tree

Everything should work out perfectly :v:

Edit: Also definitely going to chance an Inpulsa's.

You are probably right since it says "Don't take damage" and not "Don't get hit"

I like Mathil's idea for a scion heiro/deadeye totem ice spear girl but a lot of people are saying the new ice spear just doesnt feel good for leveling

It really doesn't, I switched back to freezing pulse quickly. So maybe do FP until later and swap to IS?

Edit: Also winter orb didn't feel that great, maybe it does later or I'm just bad. Stickin with FP for now until maybe I'm WO CwC FP on a 5 link.

Really hoping wave works like wise oak, in that if you have equal amounts of converted it'll apply exposure to both elements. Searched a bit on the reddit thread, but didn't see any elaboration on how that'll work.

It's based on how much damage it does, so good luck with that.

Oh oof, I read that wrong. I was reading it as converted damage of the base skill, not total damage.

When I go life at the top of the tree, I'm almost always getting Heart & Soul, so thats already a good chunk of mana. When I go MoM I just grab the 3 points behind MoM and Deep Thoughts, so 6 extra points. With a few piece of gear with +max mana, I usually have no issues hitting 1.8-2k maximum mana.

I get your point of wanting to snag all those others nearby (like Righteous Decree, Arcane Will, Soul Siphon, etc), but you don't have to get all those to have MoM still be worth getting.

Edit: I hit that amount of mana around 90 which a fair amount of +max mana.

Someone on reddit suggested doing away with the mod nodes altogether and just focusing on the reward nodes. Aside from turning the League into Delve 2.0: Make Your Own Mine I wouldn't have much of an issue with that.

Hell, I dont really have an issue with it turning into Delve 2.0 either.

This is kind of of how I currently play it and I feel like it's much more worth my time playing this way. I won't completely avoid modifiers, I just don't go way out of my way to stack a ton and more focus on getting bosses/other rewards.

As someone else mentioned, ignoring ZiggyD's advice and not trying to focus on getting a billion modifiers on every tileset feels much more enjoyable then spending tons of time organizing your nexus for relatively little reward (not that there's no reward, just doesn't feel like it lines up with the time investment).

This made the league for me go from annoying to enjoyable.

I had enough good sense to take that Monday off though.

At this point I'm pretty sure I'm going slayer; I usually start leagues as SSF these days and being able to "fix" a low crit weapon seems cool and good, along with the other real good changes.

Wait you have a taste of hate, doomsower (so extra elemental) but are using brutality? Maybe switch that our starting...

Also consider going crit, just drop Bane for Overwhelm until you get uber lab. It's an easy way to scale your damage up.

Yeah channeling would work, or close combat. If you were DW jewelled foils, then Rage is a very good support - just scales better with fast weapons.

Edit: VVVV - Maybe follow Nugi's character - he's going full phys, closer to what you have.

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/nugiyen/characters

To be a little more helpful - even if you don't really change your tree and stick to RT, getting a better weapon and a 6 link will go a long way. Maybe trying to craft a level 1 maim chest will also help a ton.

30 challenges down, six more to go but I am burnt out. We'll see if I can make it. I think the hardest ones left that are realistic is the Atziri kill in the temple.

Finished over the weekend/today after taking a break. I got really lucky with this one - got Atziri room next to nexus room the upgrade my t2 Atziri room. Otherwise I'd still be plunking away at one of the others :(

Yeah wasp nest will be real strong until you can start crafting a Gemini Claw with Corroded (and maybe Aberrant).

They also mentioned they are updating the tree to allow more flexibility with the Chaos DoT Multi (working with poison now too instead of just non-ailment), right?

Maybe I start with poison then on Friday. Still thinking PF though, offers so much good stuff.

When you do please post it here :) I’m looking to try poison assassin as a starter too but I’m too dumb to figure out my own build

I took a pass at it since it's a likely starter for me as well. I tried to account for the fact that previous nodes that were only good for non-ailment before are now worth considering: Tree here

I'm not fully sure if getting that much of the claw wheel is worth it, but should be gud enuf to get started. I'm of course open to suggestions, as this is in no way carefully crafted.

Edit: I would also wouldn't be surprised at all if Mathil puts a tree out for this in his starter suggestion video tomorrow, so look out for that as well.

I agree that Mathi is probably league starting poison and the bandwagon effect is gonna be strong, though.

Yeah I have a Storm Brand Assassin tree ready expecting this. I'll fun with either build just don't want to deal with overpriced Wasp's Nest/Bino's etc the first week or so.

And with now the chance of +1 all lightning on wands, it's not a bad option at all.

Apparently it's my turn to be the lucky crasher

Didn't crash at all yesterday or this morning. Left for a few hours and logged back in about an hour ago, have crashed 6-7 times now. Guess I'll give up until I hear something from GGG :mad:

Edit: Someone suggested to turn off multi-threading - that seemed to stop it for now. Game noticeably runs worse though, but at least I don't crash.

Good. With how easy it is for you to lose through RNG (like a super close portal), didn't feel worth doing them to me. I was just holding on to them until adjustments.

Edit: For Alira in act 2, there is always a rocky path leading to her off the main road in the middle. You'll see a break in the path, then some rocky road type stuff.
