If you are going to be leveling with it, make sure to grab as much cast speed from the tree as you can and get some cast speed wands/scepters. And get a Silver Flask early. Later respec some of it as you get cast speed from gems, and what you get as part of the build. | ||

Other candidates seem to be "finally play mines", either arc or GC then probably. Would kind of depend on what happens to Sabo, although I don`t think there is going to be a lot of changes, considering gc miner as sabo did more than okay in the past. Arc mines as Assassin looks pretty nice tho. | ||

I'd second this: cast speed is the single most important stat for FB totems to not feel shitty. A silver flask really helps out quite a lot. | ||

The build was already super strong for mapping, and with all the Hiero goodness, its only going to be better. I wonder if its worth to just get the 2 extra totems, tell Ancestral Bond to fuck off, and selfcast something. Maybe finally the time to use vortex with frostbolt ? 3 totem frostbolts with Taryns Shiver or Pledge of hands, accompanied by vortex? or maybe self-cast arc+CoH+whatever and get EE into the build ? Might have to think about that still. Other candidates seem to be "finally play mines", either arc or GC then probably.

Arc mines as Assassin looks pretty nice tho. Same for me, I'm still waiting on some Ascendancies, like saboteur, as I too am interested in finally making a miner. It'd be Arc miner for sure if there wasn't so many added phys to elemental items (*cough* Elder/Shaped weapons)... Thanks to that, Glacial Cascade is just bonkers dps. Arc miner will still deal good damage but it feels shitty not to be able to abuse the formerly mentioned items. If they fix the taunt issues for champion I might do one, if none of the next Ascendancy changes are convincing me. | ||

Like come on it's less niche than minion mod and no one says those are trashed. It just for a semi-niche defense mechanism. Since the vast majority are life builds, flat dmg / ele with attack are good for all non-spell builds, then they are more helpful to a larger percent of the player base and therefore more helpful overall. Saying "well every stat has a niche build that uses it" in order to ignore my point is great, you win and are absolutely right. My point was that GGG have a way to change balance and add diversity without adding double-rares (shaper/elder) or double-uniques (fated uniques) or whatever it is that doesn't make the game actually harder... by adding challenge where the requirements are for the vast majority of players between not stringent to non-existant. Which you ignored. edit: Double the attribute requirements of everything, and suddenly those +30 dex nodes will actually get consideration (for instance). | ||

I mean, what we have now is that everyone can use bows, everyone can go melee, everyone can do everything, so all the character choices/ascendancies actually add is some flavor rather than being a true differentiator between classes (I mean, Slayer bow builds is a thing; that's bad design). It's a discussion I think is worth having, at the very least. | ||

Opposite to you a big part of the community is not happy that 3.2 ascendancy changes force certain skills now instead of being more general like how PoE was since the beginning. | ||

It's honestly not out of the realm of possibility that Ranger ranged builds would get hurt more by raising attribute requirements than Duelist ones. Doubling attribute requirements doesn't punish builds that are "off-base" for your class, they just punish builds that use support gems that have different colors from your main skill in general, regardless of where in the tree you start. | ||
