I've been playing atlas sudoku for a couple days, trying to figure out what to complete/shape/sextant/etc. now that Strand is nerfed, and here's what I've come up with:
+ Show Spoiler +Complete: -All T1-T9 -All unique -Courtyard -Vault -All T16
-----
Shape: -T1: Desert -T2: Oasis -T3: Arid Lake -T4: Graveyard -T5: Primordial Pool -T6: Racecourse -T7: (none) -T8: Shore -T9: Reef -T10: Courtyard
-----
Sextant Block (bad mods):
PRIMORDIAL POOL: -Canyon -Channel -Cavern -Phantasmagoria -Vaal Pyramid -Vaults of Atziri
RACECOURSE: -Crystal Ore -Acid Lakes -Quarry
SHORE: -Tropical Island -Beach -Vaal Pyramid -Vaults of Atziri
COURTYARD: -Promenade
-----
Sextant (good mods):
PRIMORDIAL POOL: -Waste Pool -Cavern -Phantasmagoria -Burial Chambers
RACECOURSE: -Pit -Cells
SHORE: -Olmec's Sanctum -Catacombs -Vaal City -Arachnid Tomb -Coves
REEF: -Mao Kun
COURTYARD: -The Vinktar Square -Museum -The Putrid Cloister -Crypt -The Coward's Trial
This lets you spam Primordial Pool with 4x white sextants, Racecourse with 1x white and 1x yellow sextant, and Shore with 5x yellow sextants. The only inefficiency in doing these together is that you can't use Burial Chambers to block for Shore, because you need to put good mods on it for Primordial Pool. I consider this to be a worthwhile trade-off.
Your less-spammable maps are Vault, Shaped Reef, Shaped Courtyard, and the T16's. If you want, you can leave Vault uncompleted for more Racecourses, but I think doing this will make it hard to get Shores and higher maps, plus I just like Vault. I vendor my Underground Seas 3>1 for more Vaults, and sell any Gorges that drop (they're 4c right now in SC).
Thoughts/improvements?

Thanks for your responses. How do you do a full conversion though? Or is it only a "mostly" conversion?

There's a helm enchant for Glacial Cascade that will give the remaining 40% phys>cold conversion. You can also use the Winter Spirit cluster in the Ranger area if you can't get the helm enchant (it's generally rare/expensive).

you already have 60% of your physical converted to elemental (cold). ideally you would convert the rest to cold, but converting it to any element isn't bad either.
the easiest way to do this is on the tree, if you can. in the bottom right quadrant there is "weapon cold damage" and "winter spirit", which both offer 20% of physical converted to cold.
there is an uber lab enchant that also can give you 40% phys to cold on your glacial cascade.
if you don't want to do either of those, the physical to lightning gem is a good option, it will convert that last 40% to lightning, and it will give you %of phys added as extra lightning damage on all of the spell's damage.

Hmm. I have to try to mess with some settings because I've been getting a lot of slowdown even with my recent new build---I know the default is set to DX9 so I just left things there but I was looking at changing at to DX11---is there no support for it at all?

A Soo you have my exact setup haha. great minds think alike. I shaped arcade is only difference
later on might want to try to make sextant blocking for Courtyard better. might require T11 unlocks
|
The other option for gc conversion to cold is through the hrimsorrow/hrimburn gloves.

Ill try the evo allur meme build now. First map I opened in map device I got jebaited by a breach hand. It of course had to be activated. Turns out that breach hands are still dangerous!

This may sound slightly off-topic but since guild chat requested a no-knead pizza dough recipe here's one that worked pretty well. The guy in general has some pretty good stuff.
+ Show Spoiler +
That version has to sit around for 18h though so this one is my favorite, it's not that much more work: + Show Spoiler +

You heard it here first, friends, baking is the new fishing.

oh there is support for dx11, it has dynamic resolution and manual frame rate caps, i get much better performance. the only problem is that my game disconnects when i create new zones past middle of act 3. which is a minor problem when it comes to progression. if you don't have that particular problem, definitely try to use dx11. dynamic resolution is one of the best things in this game and i wish i could still use it.

Could I make a Berserker build that would be good with both Cyclone or Sunder? So I could swap between them and try both out without making two characters? Probably. Basic phys/life/LL Marauder builds seem pretty straight forward and similar.

They all scale off the exact same thing so quite easily.

thanks. having a lot of trouble building a wander that's tanky enough. Steel did Deadeye with MoM but he had double support so...

Steel's Deadeye is impossible to make solo. He specifically made that character with double support in mind.

yeah I realized that. just having trouble making a build with acceptable defenses / life. even considering CI haha
|
I dont think it's possible to make one thats super tanky tbh, unless you value dodging a ton and move speed. I doubt youll see something above 6k life easily.

Are stash tabs the only microtransaction in this game worth investing in? Is there any other quality of life improvements that costs $? All those different stash tab types are kinda confusing... The premium ones also comes in two different sizes?
