100% agree on the blink arrow CD, it will feel amazing with the Deadeye node. It'd be by far the best MS skill if it had no CD (except no fortify but w/e).

But then to get it you lose chain, and still have less dps and move speed than raider it seems?

Bo1b have you played with pob foe bow? I'm curious if my findings of raider being better were a fluke or mistake or if raider really is just better stil, at least for league start\mf setup

I think Deadeye is better in a standard build when you use Fast and Deadly and a lot of blink arrowing to proc Tailwind, but that's probably slower than just walking with a QotF setup

I'm set on GC mines as a starter, but bit unsure about whether to stay Life+MoM as usual or try CI. with pyromaniac CI will have some nice regen and a nice fat EHP pool. Chaos immunity and freeing up a flask slot is nice.

Main downside I see is that with CI I need to make sure all my gear pieces have high ES, while Life version is more flexible, can more easily try to get +1 or spell crit on chest. any thoughts?

With my build dead eye is better depending on how much you value ailment immunity. Raider is ~10% faster, but that's pretty negligible. I think the 2 second blink arrow will make up for it.



In terms of pure move speed dead eye really requires quite a high base amount to over take raider. It's why I don't agree with what tarke said, out side of queen of the forest I'm not sure it's possible to get that amount as well.


Life/mom will be far easier leveling day one then ci imo. You have an inbuilt defense mechanic by killing everything on the screen instantly.

@Evo memes aside nets prevent things from dying, and you can put the net on at 100%, I suspect Slayer will work the same way that it does against bosses with multiple phases, can't skip it, and will end up attacking till it's at 1% or w/e.

Shouldn't matter if you go a decent build by todays standards anyway.


As an aside, I'm planning on leveling as frostblades up until 60 or so. I tried a bow character on ssf hc and I'd just rather shoot myself.

I got 100 in garbinger HC

abused beachhead rotas, but to be fair I also did a crap ton of guardians and max sextant shores / primordial pools

@Lag honestly the first thing that comes to mind is frost blades, though you just did that. Other than that... a totem build with champ + something seems good

Speaking of which, we wanted to clarify that in the first week of the league, Beast Trading between players is disabled. We want to make sure that when we launch it, it's properly supported on the community trade sites and has received all the testing it needs. This week of not being able to trade Beasts also helps prevent people who are uncertain of relative Beast values from being taken advantage of in trade, while relative Beast values are being assessed by the community.

A common question from players is how capturing Beasts works in a party. Once the Beast has a net on it, other people can throw their nets onto it too while it's stunned (though they have to be quick and get them in before the capture completes). If the first net succeeds, then everyone who successfully got a net onto the monster will receive a copy of it. Note that the maximum number of players this can go to is controlled by who was in the area when you encountered the monster, so you can't find a very rare one and then decide to invite five people to grab copies also after the fact.

I really was seriously considering SR totems with new heiro .. but everything is 'on hit' and SR doesnt hit...

Frost blades is entirely worse this time around for Ascendant as well IMO. You are stuck with assassin because it is crit starved, and that node is flat out worse. I found slayer required for survivability - you could go jugg i guess as well.. you would be better defensively but worse offensively - and the build was already questionable for tougher bosses as it was...

Maybe molten strike jugg/slayer.. hm

Summoner seems good. either 150k dps skellies, or zombies of doom. and spectres are still good.

I dunno how long ago you ran ED, but 3.0 and after it's sooo much better than the old days. Contagion way bigger radius and faster cast point does wonders, along with allelopathy blight gloves for ST. I think Life MoM trickster ED is an easier start but occultist is buffed to hell
