Did anyone here ever level with Scorching Ray? Is that a thing or is shit like Firestorm/Flameblast just straight up better?

Leveling with Scorching Ray CWC Firestorm is pretty good. But if you wanna race it's a bit slower.

Bex revealed another unique rework.

https://p7p4m6s5.ssl.hwcdn.net/public/bex/Geofri.jpg

Tbh still not very good. Who is going Hybrid with extremely high (800+?) strength? Maybe something for Aegis but I dunno.

Flameblast CWC Firestorm felt a lot smoother for leveling than Scorching Ray CWC Firestorm for me, but with the AoE changes who knows how Firestorm will feel. Did they say what they're doing to Firestorm's lab enchants yet? Hopefully it's staying just fireball radius.

Cast when channel is way too slow for my tastes when levelling.

I know lots of people loved breach but I found it the worst league since tempest or talisman tbh

swarms of mobs surrounding you and raping your ears just because isn't a very interesting mechanic. Keeping breaches open was annoying. Splinters were nitpicky to pick up. The only upside was billions of mobs... which just isn't an interesting league mechanic. Some of the uniques were really cool i guess but not only does that not make a league, the interesting ones were also unreasonably gated behind chayula which you had to play an absurd amount to ever experience.

I still enjoyed playing path of exile, but as a league mechanic it was pretty stupid imo.

I really enjoyed levelling in Breach because opening breaches during levelling felt both super rewarding and super dangerous (I died from breaches more than anything else this league). Compare Essence, where the essences themselves were nice, but the enemies were almost never threatening unless you rolled like the four worst ones in the game and then got the bad corruption result on them.

Once I got to maps, though, breaches were indistinguishable from any other source of a-whole-bunch-of-mobs (basically just packsize), and picking up splinters was indeed a pain.

Still enjoyed the league, though.

This seems like it might be good for Aegis Aurora + Mjolner builds, which is...like nobody?

Yeah.

How come GGG are so incredibly bad at balancing (x per stat) things. Pillar of the caged god = unuseable. Shapers touch = super garbage. iron commander is probably the closest to "balanced" although it's still not great. HoWA are beyond fucking broken not even in the realm of balanced. Like all they had to do was make that mod local and it's fine (same with that chest piece incidentally).

Tangentially, how come shadow gets 2 Life + ES clusters and templar (the literal hybrid life + es class) gets zero. They keep trying to push hybrid builds but it's so impossible to do in templar area, you need the hybrid nodes.

I feel like GGG low-key think geofri's is fine and want people to make builds with it so they release this teaser as a way to spotlight theorycrafting on it without actually making it a powerful item. Unfortunately it still blows.

Yeah, it seems like it shouldn't be that hard to go, "Okay, what's the most of this stat you could reasonably have? Okay, make it so if you have that much, this item gives you about as much of the thing it gives you as a really good rare."

Bam. Done. Balanced.

Raised Zombies now have a melee attack range of 9 on their basic attack ...

Wait..... what?

Anvil buff and Immortal Flesh: No longer has Reduced Maximum Resistances mod. Now has -15% to -25% to All Resistances.

Life getting some love via uniques.

Nycta's Lantern: No longer is Supported by Level 10 Cold to Fire Support. No longer is Supported by Added Fire Damage Support. Now has the additional property +2 to level of Socketed Fire Gems. Now has additional property of 63-94 Added Fire Damage to Socketed Gems.

So this is a 5link +2 scepter ? .Interesting. Flame totem leveling meta is back!.

Drillneck FINALLY nerfed to not be the best quiver hands down for 99% of builds.

New zana mods are interesting.....
3 Chaos twinned? ... ok

I guess if you dual wield these you can wear Geofri's and get like 1k+ strength and maybe it's good? But you still have to be hybrid...

Heh, I never got around to upgrading my Gang's Momentum last league. This is a pretty nice buff:
"Gang's Momentum: Increased Chance to Ignite mod increased to 10-15%. Increased damage to Ignited Enemies mod increased to 25-40%." (from 5-7%, 15%)

Considering how hard good boots are to acquire, this might be the goto/budget item for flameblast, and you can't top molten cowboy boots anyway.

That said, I still have no clue what/if I'm playing this league...

No kek, Brutus' sprinkler might be seriously good. It has a similar damage range to HoWA, no % to stats mod though unfortunately. But fire damage is >> lightning damage. I'm sure you can make a very powerful build with it. If you stack Str your life total will be quite nice.... stack chance to ignite, go for huge burns?

I might make this build lmao

e: !! It has 8.4% crit top end. Enough for it to function. dude the crit ignites are going to be amazing. I'm thinking inquisitor
aka "neophyte". learn lots. dont judge. laugh for no reason. be nice. seek happiness. -D[9]

Shaper's touch ES from Strength also doubled. Lead Sprinklr + Shaper's Touch + Geofri's ES-based build?

Soul mantle, reduced curse effect on you rings (kikazaru), increased dmg per curse on you combination (self-flagellation)

Belt of the deceiver is really good now too.

Socketing non-auras like heralds or AA in Victario's influence with a 2h weapon?

I remember Brutus's Lead Sprinklers as being very common in the league where they existed.

Upon thinking about it more and more, I was planning on doing bladefall totems as my starter anyways, I might just do that soul mantle thing.

Feeling good about my double-legacy Reach of the Council I guess.
Also gonna roll a COE dual-wield Brutus Sprinkler for my 2nd char. Sounds bad but seems fun enough.

Also people are going cray over Marylene's Fallacy change for no reason, definitely still not worth on almost all setup besides Trypanon.

I'm fairly confident that life based spectral throw with brutus sprinkler is the way ahead. Way too much happening under the hood to go for hybrid + crit + strength stacking and make it work efficiently imo.
