I enjoy Ultimatums except for stone circles.

I heard that a lot, why? They don't lose progress if you step out of them so you can play the encounter just like you would the other ones: run in a circle.

Maybe because it feels inefficient? Sure there are parts of my play that would boost my overall performance much more, but the first few waves with 2 circles far apart... I don't know. Just feels wrong. Later waves with 4 or 5 circles feel better and more often than not I activate the Circle-Ultimatums but then I'll pull out early.

I agree, Ice Trap is fine with less links. I added Life Tap for now so I could drop the mana flask until I get my hands on the gloves. I haven't thought about the enchants to be honest but I think they can roll on all abyss jewels, which means you can get stun immunity just from the belt slot now. :o For now I'm using the ranger nodes in addition (they are decent anyways) but it's something to think about and fiddle around with later.

I ended up using the Scion+Shadow one. However, I found out they nerfed The Vigil as well (down to 8s) which is trash. At that point it's not worth it to get the strength jewel I think so I get 4 more points to spend. If I reroute below shadow instead of up I would get another point and then I get access to some nice clusters between shadow and ranger. The only reason I routed up was it gave me a lot of free int and I didn't have the points for any of the clusters between shadow and ranger anyways. For Fortify the alternative is either shield charge or vigilant strike. Currently I'm experimenting with vigilant strike (+faster attacks+fortify support) as I'm in the face of the enemies all the time anyways. It needs melee strike range for sure. Will see if it is enough to feel good...

Have you found a good Fortify solution yet? Still not running it (though levelling some gems in the off-hand); I took a page from Tarke's Vaal Arc trapper and swapped out Vitality for running Eternal Youth; that for sustain + Enduring Cry/life flask for burst seems to cover the life costs pretty well. Wish I'd found an evasion 6L. Could possibly switch out Dash for Shield Charge but Dash's inability to be slowed/hindered etc is pretty useful. Bit annoyed this is the first league in a while that I'm not running something that can DPS while I run around (RF/Wintertide Brand), ha. Ice Trap's so good for bossing, though. Slowly pushing into red maps after grinding out atlas completion, still trying to get Architect's Hand/relevant Vial from the temple.

I leaguestartet on Flicker and well... It went better than expected (i totally expected to drop the build at yellow maps) but in the last 2-3 days (about 7 hours of play) Its annoying as fuck because well, its flicker.

I'm at 85-99% (no kidding) exp from lvl 90 to 91 since like 5 hours of play because you just die to random bullshit, it doesn't even matter if the map is T9 or T14/15 (whiteout any bad mods), if i do ultimatum or not.... Sometimes I just randomly die and i seem to have hit an unlucky streak... It's extra frustrating because the one thing i really need is more passive points and i hope to get 2-3 more.

/rage

But when it works it's pure awesome, sometimes you clear a map "accidentally" by Flicker just deciding to do the perfect jumps :D.

If you just want something to generate currency in yellow maps, I can't recommend flicker enough. If you want to do more.... Get ready to spend some serious dosh.

Parked the Ice Trap Raider after I dropped a Death's Oath & a Cane of Unravelling and rolled a dodge/evasion DO Occultist - super fun/smooth for Ultimatums/delving/Heisting/mapping with a lucky Anomalous Withering Step.
