yeah, i'll just rush the mtx this time. i started a necromancer. playing zombies, phantasms, raging spirits, and soon skeletons and carrion golems and whatever spectres i can find.
multistrike impale brutality zombies are quite nice.

I think Necromancer (various shapes and sizes) is my new go-to. Pretty lazy game plan which I love. I've done every damned version of totems twice now, so I need a new mindles build type

ahhhh I sold that shield That explains it though. Thanks.

And yeah, I'm at level 76 right now. Not very deep in the delve. But it's starting to grind a little. They could have upped special nodes or something in the mine to make it more interesting, but now many times can I go from jewelry to armor to weapon nodes. Putting a crafting bench in would have been smart I think as then people like me who don't generally craft would have been "forced" to try it out and figure it out a little more.

I don't think I will do the heist event. Just not overly appealing

You can start another Delve character and transfer the shield to your stash, then delete it.

Endless delve is, to me, a very interesting twist on the game. To me it was extremely hard at first-I died six times before completing my first segment. You also learn how sparse the drops are in delve-I'm currently level 74 and my best resist is 39% and my best gear is a four socket.

I still think delve (with some fine tuning) would make a great stand alone game.

the big advantage is that necro builds are very skill tree dependent and less gear dependent. so it works well for SSF.

OMG at least I'm not the only one that died a bunch before the first segment. Stupid Witch starts with fireball which is useless. It's crazy how little "useful" equipment there is. I'm having a hell of a time finding an amulet worth a damn. I got lucky last night and had an Essence of Fear drop which I was able to craft a basic 1-handed scepter giving me 46% minion damage but the rest of the specs sucks. I also found a 5-link chest pretty early but spent a BILLION chromatics trying to get decent colors on it (ended with B-B-B-B-R) Everything else is atrocious. But it's a nice new twist to the game for me at least.

I hit level 81 last night and I think only depth 91 or so. Nothing exciting but I've been having find and it's mindless enough.

I had fun with endless delve. I took a discharge ignite chieftain to 85 and a vortex occultist to 70 before I decided I was done. I never did find a five link, and my attempts at fusing one came up short. All in all I think it was a good experience though.

I will say that I actually found fireball + two of the ignite clubs to be fairly nice early.

New league unveiled.

Looks like more atlas micro-management. Which is pretty much what nobody was asking for?
*sigh*

I'm pretty excited with everything they presented. The Atlas regions having their own ascendancy allows you to tailor specific regions to give better specific rewards. Which in turns allows you to run maps in those regions to max out those rewards. The league mechanic looks fairly simple and will present a nice addition to mapping. The Harvest implementation looks really good. You get to store 10 crafts automatically and you don't have to worry about any garden management but you only get access to one plot per garden discovery. Plus you get access to stronger crafts again which really helps reduce build costs.

I can see the "coolness" of the new editions - especially for those (like you ) who are a little more hardcore/well versed in the minutia of the games mechanics. I'd think that's a smaller sliver of the general user base though (like me ) who just want to click and kill mobs. Granted I of course still have that availability, and I am SURE I will be firing up a character on the 15th (that's my wedding anniversary so WTH else do I have to do...)

In all honesty, I really can't wait to play again!

Of course I wanted to go Necro/SRS for this league as I never really got it really clicking in Heist, and they nerfed it quite a bit.

I'm probably going to wind up joining the herd of folks going the divine ire ele route. I do like me some giant laser beams, have always been oddly fascinated with ignite builds, and love the idea of not having to muddle my way to 80 before it really starts to work. The big question here is where to stick with shaper of flames and stack X damage as extra Y stats or swap over to shaper of storms once I can get a stormfire.

Bleed earthquake glad is also tempting simply because I've never done it before. Also, the maniac in me wants to try to make a searing bond build work. Those numbers are kind of spicy.

I think I might give Bladefall / Blade Blast Chieftain a go. I've never done Bladefall so I guess I got nothing to lose.

I'm going with Sweep on most likely Champion but maybe slayer. I have it built with Champ but PoB just did an update and I want to see how it compares to Slayer now. Damage numbers either way are OK with me building it to a AoE radius of at least 45-50.

I may...probably not but may try and build a second guy using Storm Call. I tried to make that skill work twice in the past but the damage just sucked. You had to use Awakened Spell Cascade to even get it remotely decent and that usually costs 8-10ex by itself. It got another round of buffs this patch and basically does 30% more damage than before and we have access to Harvest crafts again.

Bleed Bow Gladiator for me I think. Followed by a test of a divine ire inquisitor.
i loved Divine Ire when it first came out in 3.6, i played a Trickster since its a channeling spell but then i played it again a few leagues later and the playstyle was just awful for me. i have to stand in place and use my skill and i can't deal damage and move at the same time?? fck that. in the current game meta, Divine Ire is better used in Totems.

About the Bleed Bow gladiator, its a good league starter, but you really need high investment for it to be viable in endgame. i played the champion version in Heist, was nice, will try again.

i have my eye on a Bladefall Bladeblast as well, but as a spellslinger. need to pick an ascendency though, i dont like assassins so much for non-CoC mechanisms.
and as always, i will attempt RF, this time with an elementalist since it got buffed nicely.

Ohhhh RF build. haven't done one of those in a long time. I like it because it was easy mechanically - just move around and kill stuff
I'm a SUPER lazy player and hate clicking like mad.
Got a link to a proposed build?

FYI if anyone wants to have a "guild" (just basically to party up once in a while or share gear in the stash) let me know.

That 1 button RF build isn't bad. It's basically 500k DPS with junk gear and a 6 link. It could probably go up to 1m DPS with OK gear.

Rando question: when the new expansion and challenge league goes live will it also go live to Standard as well? I know the characters from a challenge league dump into Standard when the league ends, I'm just not sure about the league content itself.

After playing Delerium and Harvest and quitting quickly during Heist I think I might want to play Standard. I don't play a ton and I'm not that great so every time I'm starting to make progress in my atlas the league ends and I have to start over.

Yeah - from what I read (and the little I fully understand) it seemed pretty solid. I remember more of less enjoying RF when I played it long ago and this one, with all the golems etc seems like a fun new twist. I think this is my go-to this league.
