Played Tec Slam in Synthesis. Personally didn't find it a great for SSF. It gets a big boost from cheap uniques in trade league (double Scaeva gets you to red maps, double Phoenix sword past that), but struggles a bit with damage before you get good weapons. Also, its just never a particularly good bossing skill

OK, so stupid build idea of the league:
  • Zombies with stupid amounts of life using The Baron and Montregul's Grasp
  • Make them count as corpses with the new teased gloves
  • Blow them up with Detonate Dead
  • Heal yourself with Maligaro's Lens + Necromantic Aegis

Need some way to rapidly cast both Raise Zombie and Detonate Dead at the same time...one of them could be CwC/CoC on something like new Cyclone, but then I'd need a way to trigger the other one. Heartbound Loop maybe? Kind of doubt I can get enough healing out of the Maligaro's Lens combo to sustain a fast CwDT setup...

This kind of thing is the reason I can never play good builds.

Stongboxes and totems are going to be bane of any such build. Also Beyond boss that detonates dead in AoE :D

Only annoyances to me are the gameplay mechanics that rely on trading to work well such as Bestiary or, ironically, crafting

Bestiary works fine as an SSF mechanic. It makes getting flask mods less of a pain (important since you can't buy them and is a massive improvement over alt-spamming) and is a source of a steady stream of alch shards (which are important to maintaining your supply of alchs to keep alching maps).

SSF crafting is completely fine depending on where you set your goals. You aren't going to get GG endgame crafts but that's not what SSF is about.

The mechanics don't do the same things they do on trade league, but they're nonetheless functional and important.

Bestiary is the least functional or important master for SSF in my opinion, I'm sure I would have progressed faster this league if I had other master missions in my map and zero Bestiary. I didn't even get a unique map out of it I didn't have before or any other somewhat decent result out of the gambling with really shitty odds. Saving alterations can be really good for jewel crafting but I don't mind respeccing a few ineffecient nodes later for that.

For me it simply lacks progress in itself or the feeling of using a tool to progress my character as a whole in SSF, it's pure gambling. I like having beefier mobs in maps but even that is done a lot better by Betrayal in my opinion. I wasn't affected by frame drops so I really liked engaging in Betrayal content this league.

And I don't know how you define GG endgame crafts but even in SSF I think it's reasonable to want to top your lvl95+ character off with a multimodded weapon for example and as of now you can do that maybe once a league in my experience, depending on your luck.
It's not only gated behind a super rare currency but also behind recipes which are not that tempting to get considering how much stuff you have to do / want to do otherwise and that they also aren't that easy to come by.
Additionaly those crafted items are also usually pretty specific for one character, so I wouldn't mind if I could pay for those mods in chaos for example. With a worse exchange rate than you would get in SC trade league of course.


Apart from that crafting is awesome , thanks to the fact that Delve works a lot better in SSF than Bestiary :p

I was also thinking Tec Slam Jugg, but I have a feeling the reworks and/or new skills might sway me elsewhere. I've been playing FOTM for a few leagues now and enjoying it just as much as scrapping together my own nonsense, so might as well abuse what's good while it lasts lol.

I also do really want to do a stupid crazy flicker character if the leagues fun enough for me to play more and make a bunch of cash.

I'd mostly want to play a melee raider or a (poison?) pathfinder, but the former's advantages are common on gear now and the latter seems too expensive to get off the ground.

It's also really tempting to play a bow build or build using those new corpse zombie gloves since melee gear will be so expensive if it's meta.

I am fully prepared to get Bameth'd if I actually end up playing this.

I think just having more gear that interacts with frenzy charges, but doesn't generate them would go a long way. Honestly same for power charges. One of the weirdest parts about power/frenzy charges is once you have a generated source of them it's hard to buff their effects up without just doubling up on the generation source.

Like for synth I was using a Power Charge on crit (support gem) + power charge on crit (effect) CWC staff. But it was really difficult to get more value out of the PCoC because any source of modifying power charges (like trickster Swift Killer) would come with a generation of power charges to begin with so you're only getting marginal benefit from PCoC or the ascension.

Cyclone CwC might be nice, maybe it'll be possible to get a cheaper version of Mathil's CoCspin that way.

The baeclast with jonathan was preeetty hype, and has resolved most of my hesitations.

could watch this short summary, I haven't checked it myself. The obvious / often repeated things are animation canceling (before or after damage point), movement skills are instant for start up. A lot of animations fixed so they exactly fit what they are actually hitting. Namelocking / targeting much improved. Lots of stuff getting a range buff, nearly screen wide cyclone showed off. Weapon specfiic support gems (1 for dagger, 1 for mace, etc) for more diversification / flavor. Probably other stuff I forgot already

aka "neophyte". learn lots. dont judge. laugh for no reason. be nice. seek happiness. -D[9]

The most hype thing is jonathans enthusianism. But also that the changes to fight mechanics are focused on early game and endgame bossing.

New IC changes make me think about going softcore for the first time... Hardcore will not be fun with all the one hit shots...

Only selfcast immortal call helped with that though. Armour buffs and the guard abilities will help a lot.

Armor with Molten Shell sounds really reliable, but the cooldown only starting when the skill ends makes me think you'll get 50% uptime at best. Still, 4-5s of 75% less damage taken is enough for the vast majority of hard encounters, and it's usable vs long bosses, unlike Vaal Grace.

I really hope we get the berzerker and duelist reveals this week. Gotta get a few leveling runs in with melee this weekend!

I'm really curious how Vaal Molten Shell is going to work now. Apparently Molten Shell does reflected damage, which means normal damage scaling won't work and you scale the damage by getting your armour really high - is VMS going to be the same?

Also - apparently Molten Shell now gives global damage reduction - does VMS do the same? Does that mean you can now trigger its explosions by taking hits of any damage type (not just physical)? Can you make VMS splodey builds with Eye of Innocence without using Rat Cage now?

I have a lot of questions, basically.
