The war banner seems to me like it would be good for lab farming chars, charge it up while going through rooms and then plant it down when you're beating Izaro's ass

If that works, Izaro is in a different zone. Very possible the stack resets to zero. Correct me if I'm wrong, I just can't remember being able to use Vaal Skills immediately against Izaro.

You cannot use vaal skills, Izaro really is in its own zone.

First new Totem support gem news is out. Hmm, I love having tons of totems, but this one won't be worth it for Hierophant who also gets Ancestral Bond, Soul Mantle and possibly another +1 from Shield (craftable now) if one doesn't mind using flasks for curse dispell (did that last time and it was OK). At 8 totems it's a huge dps loss. :D

It'll be best used for Wither, Blight, Decoy Totem, Scorching Ray and non-Hierophants that don't wanna invest in more totems. Seems insanely nice especially to mindfuck the bosses with Decoy totem as well as with Caustic Arrow + Toxic Rain (Wither + Blight Totem).

This will sound like a dumb question and is completely not related to the new league, but can someone explain how Ascendancy crafting works, specifically?

From what I understand, when I get there, I can enchant one item (depends on the difficulty which ones I can enchant, what mods I can get, yadda yadda). However, if I run it again, can I enchant a different item? Will I lose the enchantment on the original item?

How does "farming" enchantments work? Are enchantments rolled like RNG?

Also, I know there is the prophecy that is something like "Twice Blessed" or "Twice Enchanted." I got one naturally through Navali. Does that mean I enchant two items at once, or can I enchant one and then reroll it? To add to this, I found that this is one of the prophecies people sell for dumb cheap by accident and I buy them and resell them for meager profits because that makes me feel frugal and smart even though it's probably not cost vs. time effective lol.

You finish the lab > you can enchant one item if you do not have as you mentioned "twice blessed" prophecy active.
If you run the lab again and finish again, you can either enchant another item or the same item. If you enchant another item, thats just what it is - you have one more item with enchant. If you choose to enchant the same - you will reroll your current enchant.

Farming enchants is usually just a method of farming currency. In the end its very good in the beginning of the league since uber lab gives nice returns on average but will fall of later in the league. Enchants however can be insanely expensive if you hit the right enchant on the right base. i.E Devotos or Stakonjas with +2 Tornado Shot on it. Since there is no guarantee its very time consuming and can be frustrating to say the least.

Do you guys think the Divination Card locations remain the same? I got a feeling they won't, since there are also new maps. I mean most of them will probably remain the same, but I could see some changes..

Pretty sure last time we had that Atlas re-arrange the divination cards actually stayed on the same maps.

Altho, what was reasoning for people running Spider forrest over Burial chambers back then? Was it cause the layout for burial chambers sucked back then?

Spider Forest had mob density nerfed, was pushed to t11 (increasing sextant costs, making mobs less squishy), and map quantity as a result of map mods was nerfed. Prior to that, Spider Forest had more mobs/hour, which (along with IIQ) is the metric you're looking for when farming Headhunter.

Also it is much easier to sustain shaped maps because you can have them be your only map of that tier and have no map of the tier above it, so when a +1 drops it downgrades to the shaped map, with normal maps the adjacent +1 can always drop (well, you can elder orb the adjacent +1 now to block it, but depending on the atlas that could be a waste). But the mob density was the biggest reason I think.

Oh I wasn't concerned about sustaining, it'll just be nice to run channies right off the bat since I like it, and if Humility still drops it'll allow a quick and easy Tabula on SSF which could be nice depending on the build. Good Shaped choice too.

I've basically 100% convinced myself to start SSF right off the bat this season. Just have no clue on build yet lol. Waiting for content creators to start reviewing all the new skills and shit so I can brainstorm a bit. Haven't had time to read through the individual/scattered announcements myself.

Sorry for the repeated new questions but can you explain what it means to lock a map? How do prophecies help here? Thanks!

Uhm, I'm not sure what you're asking. I know that if you play a map and no prophecy triggers, that map won't trigger your current prophecies anymore. Only way to force it onto a given map is to unseal the prophecy and reactivate it, but that can get expensive.

Edit: Oh, I see you were referring to the guy above. I think he meant you can't stop the other maps from dropping. Say you wanna play a specific T5 map and you don't have any other T5 maps done yet, then you can just complete the T5 you want and you'll naturallly find more of that T5 since you don't have the others yet and you only find connected maps & maps you already completed.

Nah he means sustaining Tier 1 maps via prophecy - the chamber of sins one that drops you around 10 tier 1 maps
And jealous didnt understood what he meant with prophecy in that sentence.

Actually I was the one who mentioned that prophecy (well just "prophecies", but that's the one), Jealous asked what locking maps means and that's what Duvon said.
