Brine King just seems buggy atm, I still somehow made it deathless with my glasscanon but the Shavronne before him murked me probably 10 times. Then stuff went pretty smooth until Shavronne in Act 9. Everything in her room was an instant death zone. 1700 HP and low Lightning Resist - Yeha! Never had an issue with her before, this felt beyond broken. I guess i died over 30 times (i didn't have any Vaal skill to instagib her at that time). Surprisingly Act 10 went pretty smooth after that, iirc 3-4 random deaths and 2 deaths to Kitava (did merc lab before him).
My deathcounter said 57 Deaths when I reached Maps. Thats what you get for playing realllly stoned . This isn't normal for me, i did A1-10 deathless before, made it to maps in HC. The last time i noobed close as hard was iirc in Harbinger/3.0. I also twice accidentally did "release in town" after dieing to Shavronne :D.
Was still fun tho, after certain amounts of dieing you get into the rythm I guess.

I haven't had a deathless levelling ever I think, I usually die at least once even with decent leveling gear like tabula etc. This league was pretty extreme though, I easily had 30-40 deaths on my freezing pulse MoM occultist (can't check now).

This is the first league since like 2011 that I didn't play hardcore. I figured I would need to play softcore after taking a 2 year break from the game. I am pretty glad I did tbh, having a lot of fun without having to worry too much

I also liked the league until I hit maps and Legion rares became murderbots. Even with 4700 life and 1800 mana (MoM), 40% dodge i 30% spell dodge and using a ranged skill I die randomly to Legion rares too often. It is either the red shit that shows up under your feet and kills you before you can jump out. Or it is a group of rares giving each other auras and taking bonuses from maps mods that can remove all my life within 1-2s. Without instant leech it is not possible to live through that.

Haha, SC is very different, aside from RF-builds, no one has 4k HP for Kitava. Starting to Map with horrible resistances and <<3000 life is pretty usual for me but i tend to be on the more reckless side of Things when compared to the 3 guys i regulary play with (well, one is even worse... He was 8 Levels behind the Monsters this league start)... I'm at T9/ Delve Monster lvl 72 now and iirc i'm under 4k HP.
Shavronne actually made me finally setup CWDT, Fortify, get some HP on the tree and losing my white boots and gloves (they were the first 4 links i found and i never bothered again because no rares with enough sockets dropped). If i don't have the currency to do all this in Act 4, i tend to just forget/ignore it until I hit a wall .
The Legion Mobs that do the red fire are a real pain tho, i don't even know how your supposed to dodge that stuff... I now mainly free the Legion and run away and hope Vaal-BV/DS decide to hit the right target from offscreen. I'm not too worried tho, they also kill my mates RF-Chieftain .

Man, I rerolled with Arc (was aiming to go cold snap, but Legion mobs not giving Frenzy charges = no go) and I did not realize how absurdly powerful Vaal Storm Call had become since the last time I tried to use it. Such an absurd DPS dumper with just a Less Duration gem.
I'm kind of scared of how many Legion mobs I'll free in maps with Vaal Arc though.

I am doing Ice Nova but once I get weapons for (ab)using chaos conversion switching to vaal arc + unleash could be a real option so I can convert lighting to cold and then cold to fire

How much does an actually decent Flicker build run? I'm sitting on about 6ex hard currency in softcore. Not in a RUSH to reroll or anything, will probably have way more by the time I actually try it, but just curious.
Playing ED Trickster right now and it's been great. Just trying to decide if I actually want to spend some cash to juice this guy up and get more serious than just using it as a league starter. I'm still using pretty much the same gear I bought when I started mapping, probably about 20-30c worth. Could easily sink some into a 6L evasion chest for Escape Artist, some good multimodded wands or bow or something, etc.
Edit: oh also, how challenging is the 4 army Domain of Timeless Conflict? If you're running red maps is it fine? Or is it a bit beyond. I wouldn't fuck with the 5 emblem one but would like to do 4 to get the upgraded map device.

It's been a while since I last played. How do I get the -mana cost to skills craft option? I played the immortal syndicate league before but somehow don't even have level 1 unlocked in standard... Was this a new addition in a later patch?
|
They lowered how many ranks / exp you needed to get the different crafts, which you get from unveiling items gained from betrayal). However, as a consequence some crafts were lost in standard even though you previously had them... unfortunate and will have to re-unlock I guess ><
If you really need it, you can ask someone to hop over to standard to craft it probably. or buy a cheap ring that has it
@Duka, dunno about flicker strike, but Trickster is surprisingly good in boss fights and should be very good in endless domain. I'd go in for the good 6L, but multi modded weapons are not super necessary. Not as good bang for your buck. AS long as you have Chaos DoT multi on your weapon that's enough
|
Ah I see. I'm build testing something on standard. The -9 mana cost option costs 1ex to craft, I guess I will try to find someone in the guild to help to avoid getting scammed.

AS long as you have Chaos DoT multi on your weapon that's enough Yeah I gave it more thought last night and I think I'll probably pick up a Perfect Form and start throwing fusings at it. I also want to pick up a Devouring Diadem because they're not as expensive as I expected and 1) getting EB that way will save me some points on the tree and 2) I'll be able to reserve 3 things with the reservation reduction which I completely forgot about. Once I grab those I'll see how much I've got left and upgrade these trashy life/res rares I grabbed day 1.
Flicker sounds like it's causing some crashes now, so memes or not I should probably wait a bit lol. And nothing else in particular is captivating me as far as ideas go, I'm having enough fun with Legion itself that I should just optimize what I've got instead of rushing to reroll like I usually fall into the trap of doing.
I'll wait on looking for weapons though, once I've got a lot of the Betrayal mods and stuff then I'll go for a multimod bow with +gem levels and all that. Looooong chase goal. Buying one now would be prohibitively expensive instead of waiting for when I can just craft it myself. Both my current wands have like 60% spell damage and the non-ailment chaos dot so that's probably fine indefinitely.

I have the 1 ex craft in standard, and also have a pretty good amulet with it on my main from last league if you just want that. I'll be on tonight (US to me), I'll check this thread/guild chat to see if you still need.

Thanks! I need it in a ring, will give a shout in guild when I'm home later today.
|
Is it only me and a friend or are Frankfurt/Paris really laggy in the evening?
|
the bugs introduced from the last patch are absolutely wacky beyond belief
|
Yeah the aura stuff is pretty wild. I'm imagining it's somehow related to blood/sand stance.
Haven't been crashing luckily, but I expect another patch before 24 hours lol
