That's the plan atm, a pure phys summoner skeleton/zombie necromancer. I have had success this league with it while basically playing SSF up to level 80. Use that to farm some currency and then buy enough budget gear to get the next build going. | ||

I just don't want you to think RF isn't a decent starting option, as you basically only need a few levels, and 2-3 items (ruby flasks, springleaf) to sustain the degen. | ||

Hmm Bladefall, is the graphics streamlined so computers won't die? | ||

I think the problem is more that you're going to be squishy as Assassin without instant leech and you'll probably also want to prevent doing Elemental damage as else you can't play any reflect maps (even with 95%+ crit all it takes is one non-crit as Assassin from what I have heard). | ||

I'm really interested to see the balance manifesto coming out later today. Hoping for some statstick nerfs considering the char names 'leaked' on the "leave guild" image". Wonder what we'll see done to address the "immortal" pathfinder builds. | ||

Mmmmn - statsticks, Zerphi's Last Breath, maybe The Poet's Pen and Inpulsa's Broken Heart ... if they're looking to tweak the #s on Blade Vortex (& Blade Flurry?), the first and last of those would probably suffice; re: Molten Strike's popularity, the enchant's probably getting the Tornado Shot treatment and ... maybe the interaction with Life Gain on Hit, IDK. Interesting looking at statistics via old.reddit.com, though I wish there was one for SSF. | ||

Looks like Zerphi's and Molten Strike helm enchant are getting nerfed. Nothing that looks like it's about stat sticks that I can spot. New keystone hype! | ||

First to Enter and First to Level-up notifications now display in Private Leagues. Fixed a bug where start times for Private Leagues were being set when the league was created, rather than when it actually began. This could cause issues for Private Leagues which were crowdfunded as the duration would begin on creation, rather than when crowdfunding was completed. Dam wish these were up for the private league we ran recently, oh well. | ||

In 3.5.0 we are removing the ability to use stat sticks, through the following changes: * You will no longer be able to use skills that require a specific weapon equipped if you are dual-wielding and one of your equipped weapons is unsuitable for that skill. * Skills that could be used with two weapons, but were main-hand-only when used, now use both weapons when dual wielding. Hmmmn - more a Blade Flurry change than a Blade Vortex one, at first glance. Edit: They still work for Glacial Cascade mines/totems, too, right? | ||

It's definitely for the better, cuz the whole "you wont attack with a weapon if you're dual wielding and it doesn't work with that skill" was just an extra layer of obfuscation PoE doesn't need. Now they can just manually tune the spells they want to in the long run. Wouldn't be surprised if that's actually in the full notes tomorrow(?) --- "The Hierophant node Ritual of Awakening no longer grants +1 to maximum number of Summoned Totems. Instead it now causes skills that would Summon a Totem to summon two Totems instead... ...Additional totems are now available from other sources" This could be entertaining | ||

Not holding my breath though. *edit* Question for people who played back when CoC was good: What's the best melee attack to use to trigger your spells? If the answer is "Molten Strike," what's the second best one (I fucking hate Molten Strike)? | ||

You don't need to go assassin for coc bladefall though, and ascendant slayer/assassin is probably better anyway. | ||

If the answer is "Molten Strike," what's the second best one (I fucking hate Molten Strike)? Cyclone, but realistically you'd rather not be melee. Frost blades is also probably a pretty good choice these days, but it was mostly introduced post-coc. People did spectral throw if they were stuck with a melee weapon. Bladeflurry is an honourable mention i suppose for true melee CoC. Molten strike is like 30 hits per second, it's way way way more than you need for CoC. | ||

As well as the new Brand skills, the archetype based on them has led to changes on the Hierophant, and also had knock on effect for totems. A number of totem nodes now also offer benefits for Brands. The Hierophant node Ritual of Awakening no longer grants +1 to maximum number of Summoned Totems. Instead it now causes skills that would Summon a Totem to summon two Totems instead, and grants 3% more Damage per Totem. Fuck, just when I wanted to plays a totem hiero  For map clear I would rather have +1 totem then summon two at a time.. | ||

Hierophant now getting -1 totem and being able to plant 2 at time is interesting. I honestly like this, it has pros and cons since the placement speed of Hierophant is pretty huge and it won't really affect the kill speed much if you have high damage, but it also depends on the skill. So it makes other Ascendancies more interesting for Totems. I just hope Hierophant Ascendant still gets +1 totem, then I may just prefer it depending on the build. Arc may or may not get adressed in some way (twitter.com), though "arc" is also in other things like Arctic Breath so it may just be a troll. | ||

Two at a time seems way stronger for clearing since you rarely have all totems shooting at once anyway, except at bosses. And as they say, there will be more ways to get +1 totems, we know about crafted shields already. Totems looks to be stronger than ever. They teased about changes to Arc though(unsurprisingly), wonder how hard that will hit. I was gonna take a stab at ssf this league with Arc in some manner. | ||
