As for nerfing traps (aside from maybe Lightning Trap + Fire Trap?), I guess that's okay. Mines will get weaker too, and Detonate Mines wasn't mentioned as instant skill, so if it isn't in the patch notes I won't play a miner for sure. I think there are still some more numerical balance changes in the patch notes though. As it is right now, I'm sure the best build for fast lvl 100 will be BV Elementalist with Inpulsa again. | ||

Want to play bow this league regardless cuz it seems fun for delving, I haven't played much bow, and I might try Windripper MF at some point out of curiosity. But idk what works best for really shitty gear new league bow char etc. Prob lightning arrow idk? Edit: wtf grats Alur on 1st attempt HC uber elder, I didnt even attempt him on SC this league D: I think the go to for bow leveling would be shrapnel shot into blast rain/RoA, if you're on trade league you should be able to make it decently smooth by occasionally buying 1c bows, but SSF it's definitely going to be slower than sunder/molten strike/traps. | ||

Flame Dash buff even works in my favour since I was thinking about using Golem unique in both hands so no use for Shield Charge. Also maybe new LW will work as a 3L now. Prepare for it to be buffed by Templar tree getting minion damage things. | ||

I'll probably just find a way to do sunder until 70ish lol. I'm more interested in this league and the bow stuff for long-term goals, not necessarily the flavor of leveling if it's going to be as painful as everyone makes it sound. We'll see. Need to get home from work so I can start reading all these manifestos n shit | ||

Apart from that I'm eyeing Necro Spectres, might be one of the best scaling builds this league. Not sure if getting max block is still reasonably easy. ...Hiero into LL RF Guardian would be another thing, but hnggg... not sure. | ||

Lightning and Fire Trap got buffed, interesting. The new minion clusters sound pretty bonkers at a glance, including a passive that gives the scourge bonus to you via the passive tree. There's gotta be bullshit builds just with that one notable, maybe even as a guardian. Guardian summoner in general could be funny. I hope we can get the gem info before launch, the buff to Caustic Arrow is still insane. Currently 765 dmg/s and 4.8s duration, after the patch 1714.8 dmg/s and 2s duration at lvl 20. e: Path of building is updated for the passive tree, we won't get the gems and whatnot before the GGPK file is out though - aka prolly a few hours before launch. | ||

The build would rely on the minion part of Dominating Blow being worth to scale though... Most Dominating Blow builds I'm seeing on the build section of reddit are more self dps focussed. Minion damage support for example would be somehing I'd choose but it only affects the minions (which I don't think we even know are only melee, btw??). That said, I like the idea of the build. If it's terrible, the passive tree can be switched to SRS pretty easily which is something that I could be playing as well and got pretty nicely buffed with the accuracy and extra minion damage stuff. | ||

And don't forget that you could reasonably scale both the upfront damage and the cloud at the same time. If you manage to get your hands on a sick phys bow with +2 gems you're gonna go ham. Unrelated: People on reddit are saying spectre levels in delve will cap at max map level. But I have yet to see a GGG source on it, and the FAQ could easily be interpreted as lvl 100 spectres being possible, does anyone here know what's up? | ||

You will not be going crit with this bow and non crit bow attacks are crap. At best that normal attack will let you kill that boss a bit faster but you would probably still benefit more with using Blight with 2x jewel to get 50% more damage with chaos damage. Also a faster bow and new Wither support to stack more wither debuffs. | ||

Also a faster bow and new Wither support to stack more wither debuffs. Blight debuff is additive with other increased damage taken modifiers, like the (up to) 90% from wither and 25% from despair, so it would rarely be 50% more. But I don't see why attacking and applying blight are mutually exclusive, you can run spell totem with blight and a mirage archer with barrage withering touch . | ||

Also, looking for advice from people who've played SSF before - if you're looking to target-farm not-too-rare divination cards for build-specific uniques, is it better to do it while levelling or wait until endgame? e.g., I could try and farm up The Incantation ~17-27 in A2 Western Forest, ~48-58 in A6 Western Forest or wait until T3 Burial Chambers; ditto A Mother's Parting Gift in A3 Imperial Gardens ~30-40 or A8 High Gardens ~58-whenever. | ||
