I made my Trickster use MoM, EB and Acrobatics and Phase Acrobatics. With new Trickster nodes that gives me a constant free +20% spell dodge bonus for nice permanent 40% dodge and 50% spell dodge. I leech ES with ES leech gem and use Aztiri's flask to leech life. Winter Orb build with Shroud armor (from shaper) and I use as many shaper rares on me as I could. Only Pyre ring and Vertex are not shaper rares. Of course Chaos double dipping :D
Since I had to craft all my rares they are not as good as I would like them to be. I was able to overcap resists but life roles on them suffered.

All things said:
Trickster is just really awesome atm. He might fall a bit short vs Occultist with really expensive gear but he just is awesome from first lab into endgame all the way.
I seriously struggle to see me playing something else as my next leaguestarter.

I would love to league start chaos trickster again next league, it was insane and I enjoyed it a lot, never having played that ascendancy or ED/Contagion before or anything of the sort. But I'm sure they'll find a way to make something else just as insane next patch lol.

I'm playing a spectre build for the first time and I'm loving it, the dps and map clear are insane. I use 2 solar guards and 2 cannibal fire-eaters (with 5 zombie meatshields), I'm at t13 red maps and equivalent monster level delves right now and they basically never die and melt everything, bosses, syndicate members, red beasts, you name it. Unless they nerf it I'm gonna use the build as my starter next league as it doesn't really need that much to get started and with gear can scale well into the endgame.

For some reason i nearly only play Shadow and sometimes Witch. Occultist is kinda fun for the "bang" when you kill a pack but aside from that... I got the shadow/witch sides of the Talent trees pretty much memorised, i have no clue whats going on in the south-west.

I play almost entirely Marauders and Duelists and no Witchea/Shadows.

if you want to switch it up a bit next league: I did skeletons in a pseudo 6L helmet and 3 spectres for clear in delve league, and the single target of skeletons is crazy. I didnt do uber elder on to many chars yet, but on this one it definitely felt easiest.

That lack of dedication invest the chance and scours already and get an shaped pyre :D

Atm I am trying to gather 1500 fusings so I can 6l my Shroud. That will give me more DPS than having all my items slots be shapers.

Decided to try my luck and roll for the big boys...
Imagine equipping this at level 52
Tomorrow they fix essence and fossil crafting on fractured items so finally i will be able to get perma onslaught boots for cheap. This will make my qotf soulrend trickster FLY through the map.
Edit: also just saw this absurd thing on reddit, which is even better than the old dual implicit regalia.
Edit2: Running memory nodes be like

what's the strat for semi cheap onslaught boots? I could use that for bossing
|
Onslaught link in storm brand (+curse or pcoc)
Save all 30 and 35 ms boots (fractured ofc), combine for 100 total ms.
|
Anyone played something with new Unleash support? It seems like everyone is playing DoT skills or new skills from this league ( and Worb or Storm Burst)
|
I've used Unleash with Soulrend and I think it probably has a lot of potential with quite a few spells. If you like the "run around and click once per screen" sort of playstyle it's purely a buff imo. I think it's a neat new support. Things like arc and spark and fireball might all be ok for more "classic" spells.

*edit* wait this was nonsense

I could use that for bossing The semi cheap strat is to get double or triple fragmented ANY boots and look to have the fewest amount of different affixes between them, then use highest tier essence of zeal on each to get 3x 32ms boots and then synthesize those. Without rerolling or using annuls you will probably have like 10-15 different affixes, so the chances arent too high, but it WOULD HAVE BEEN cheaper, if not for...
So basically..forget it :D
Edit: alternatively get double/triple fragmented rings and use essence of sorrow on them to get Onslaught for 4 sec on kill as implicit on a ring, way cheaper.

damn, should have been buying the essences pre update ><
onslaught on kill is a lot less attractive seeing as you can get it on jewel already
I guess storm brand + onslaught is decent enough

Ran all my sac frag sets hoping for the dodge boots, but it's flasks/belts for days. Any suggestions?
So, ended up rolling the Trickster and semi-kicking myself for not doing it sooner - it's night and day with the QoL of zooming around with the built-in AS/MS etc, and Divine Ire "feels" a lot smoother/less clunky than I imagined re: charging/targeting. Still needs a few things to feel properly ready for guardians/Shaper - I'd love a Cerberus Limb for leech, but haven't seen a single Delve boss yet at depth ~285 (wouldn't say no to Command of the Pit for Arcane Surge on a Eldritch Battery build, either); temporarily trialing a lightning Doryani's Invitation to see if that will help for leech sustain on big bosses, and I should test out swapping out a Divinarius for Doryani's Catalyst to see how that feels. Wouldn't mind crafting a multimod "Gain (16–20)% of Elemental Damage as Extra Chaos Damage" weapon but haven't had any shaped daggers/scepters drop of a high enough iL drop, and I've still only got rank 1 (of 3) of the veiled "(46–50)% increased Spell Damage / Gain 4% of Non-Chaos Damage as extra Chaos Damage" mod, zzz. Crafted one of those "immune to curses if corrupted" shields, which has been great QoL. Still grinding normal Atziri to try and get the dodge boots, but no joy, and I've run about 30 other sac frags trying to get Midnights - need to either run lab or Vaal twinned triple-boss maps. Haven't found a Primeval Ruins to get the 6L crafted recipe - probably have ~2k fuses if I convert JOs but a little leery of not hitting a 6L, especially as I haven't managed to get a L3 Hillock in Fortification to 28% quality my Perfect Form first. Would get an insane damage boost from having 2x Call of the Brotherhood, but haven't found a single one this league (feel like they weren't too uncommon previously) - have been chancing every white cold/lightning two-stone ring (sadly you can't filter two-stone rings by types, which makes it a little annoying), and trying things like Elreon in Research, but no joy yet. Thought about spamming Estuary for Heterochromia but luckily checking some reddit "x turnins" to see you'd need around 50 sets to get one (compared to the two common Berek's rings), zzzz.
I have to say, Synthesis seems to have ironed out a lot of the kinks - the rewards/entrance portal "save point" is great, and adds tension to figuring out decaying zones while not being too punishing. Have had some fairly absurb rewards for SSF - Blessing of Chayula and an empowered Uul-Netol Breachstone, a T15 Beachhead and a few dozen Harbinger's Orbs (2/4 fragments of the Harbinger shield, which still probably isn't good enough even in a channeling league but could be fun to muck around with).

Iron+topaz+sapphire rings give twostone cold-lightning right? If you arent running out of chance orbs you could try that. Sounds like you are doing good though, nice.
|
I'd be really appreciate if someone could me give a summary which synthesis items to keep and which to throw away.
From what I've gathered I mainly want to synthesize great base items with 3 factured mods to guarantee that I get 3 synthesized mods and hopefully combine good other mods. Ilvl doesn't really matter except that I want at least one high one of three, how high the base mods (and the factured ones?) rolled does matter though. Ideally I want 3 of the same slot.
According to this 1 fractured mod and bad mod rolls are useless, so basically anything that's a bad item anyways? If I synthesize a low ilvl health mod and a high ilvl health mod does it roll each separately or default to one/combine the two?
