TS finally got hit with a heavy nerf. the mana change is huge with squeezing just that extra bit out and the snipers mark gutting also hurts it a lot. Mageblood nerfs are great to make sure its not the be "solve your resists" belt. I really wish there was some buffs in the notes but a lot of these were necessary. The melle nerfs were not and I'm wondering if its time for me to go DD at the start.

Updated my POB for the new Storm Brand of Indecision numbers: it's a 47% loss in damage for the build I checked against.

Here's the pastebin for the update if anyone wants it: https://pastebin.com/13UiGHbr. Skill is in act_int.lua. I didn't update the quality effect, you can just halve it on the gem.

I'm tempted to cobble together a Slam build using Automation. From the teaser vid, you can link multiple warcries and they will all go off at instant speed. Not having to cast your warcries at all seems like a huge QoL boost even if you can't time things as well

Sadly I’ve become more casual. And the moment I saw how much fine tune was happening, I just uninstalled the game.

Granted I think it would be a fun experience if I am a still very dedicated hardcore gamer though.
Mostly a troll, bi-polar by design, occasionally brain malfunction. Please forgive me. xD

I like the endgame changes, Rolling or buying sextants was annoying so I won't miss it.

I saw they reverted Archmage nerfs from several leagues ago and not it scales again only with maximum mana (and not mana cost). That is cool, I've not played Archmage since they changed it so I will play a hierophant mana build for sure. I still don't which skill to choose, maybe blade vortex or ball lightning.

They buffed archmage again? :o Time to play frost bomb again? hmmm I haven't watched the announcement yet but this alone kinda hypes me to the point I consider playing this league.

I'm not sure trill by the the crafting mecanic of the league.

The rest tough seem really nice. The scarab, T17 map, free invitation, new atlas tree, etc... So good !!

I'm not really sure on it. It could end up being tedious and the good mods so rare that it's bad, or it could end up being a way to acquire sentinel style gear that you can't get elsewhere. They teased a few of the special mods you can get, but I'm expecting there to be many more. Might be some interesting things to build around or ways to make gear that's normally a pain.

I'm very apprehensive on a league that is forced to interact with. I think it might make campaign a lot different which is good but even if it's just harm reduction mode it'll be tedious.

Atlas changes look great and t-17 maps are the shit. With witch getting part two voices I'm thinking dd in some variant.

Yeah checking the affixes of rare mobs has never been my favourite ARPG activity, less so dying because I didn't do that homework. If this league has any of that, I can see the experience being fucking miserable. Dying because a dangerous mod rolled on to a dangerous mob as part of a constant rolling effect pool might be a real issue.

Pretty hyped.
I feel the archmage buff might actually deter me from playing a mana build again, theres so much hype for it from so many streamers that i`m a bit scared i`d be competing with half the playerbase for gear

Necro does look nice though, and would be kind of "on brand" for the league. And the leech should work as instant leech with leech mastery afaik (if you even take it now and not just skip the bone armour node completely)

I`m also having a look at the new poison concoction version, the fact that it starts at 30% of flask recovery as chaos on the one screenshot i saw is kinda crazy considering the normal one is 12% or so on a lvl 20 gem.

Lots of options, as usual :D

member when we had to read Nemesis mods for volatile dead? reminds me of that, really tedious... if the reward is good enough maybe it'll be ok but I see a lot of complaining in the near future

you doing better now Espe? I remember you had a hand/arm injury or somethin

yea all those look good. I think archmage will be fine in the midgame, its mainly the top end gear / uniques that will be tough to get

personally im going meta slave once again, coc dd inquis looks too fun to pass up

Thank you I am mostly back to normal, still feel it a bit on the elbow at times, but its mostly okay now.
Was just really dumb overall. For about a week or two, half my right arm was basically all shades of purple. The easiest things didnt really work, like... putting on socks, or moving the car a few meters to another parking spot because i needed both arms to kinda put it in reverse ...

I did manage to play a little bit of LE even in last couple of day, but not that much. I didnt watch anything and just played some selfmade ignite sorcerer.

Is coc dd really that meta ? It does sound a lot of fun for sure.

Uh, thanks for the headsup. I haven't followed any streams so I didn't realise people were hyped about this - although I should have guessed as much based on my own reaction... Well, if I play it will be casual anyways and this just means it will be extra casual. Staying behind the curve in these types of situations often means you can snack some juicy equipment for cheap from the market when people scrap their "mediocre" stuff.

For me it fits my playstyle. I have never been the kind of guy to roll 50 maps and blast them without a break. I enjoy the short breaks to decide on what happens next.

Yea seems like a lot of people are looking at archmage ball lightning. Subtractem made a video titled "The League Start Secret Is Out" xD theres a few diff ways to build it tho, I think it'll be fine. Esp if you leverage some crafting knowledge with the new league

You can see some gameplay from imexile here (a10 char in t10 map) : https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2099609746?t=6h37m10s

the main downside is that you need 2 meta transfigured gems, and a 5L, before the build can really work. so might need to spam lab

I'm debating this version and the more traditional necro one tho. necro would be tankier and better at bossing but this seems way faster

I still want to play archmage despite the streams xD But not ball lightning as I already played it in the past when Archmage was good. I'm still looking for different skill gems to choose one.

I've seen lot of people plan to go for Mjölner and triggering a skill with cyclone CwC. I don't know, I would like to try self cast... Maybe something crazy like "icenova of frostbolt" with Pledge of Hands and archmage. But probably a bad idea because the mana cost and such. I will think about it the next days. Maybe at the end I will play meta (it seems Mjölner with Indigon).

I think it's less ball lightning specifically and just archmage + something. There are 4 or 5 skills I've seen getting a lot of mention with it, plus either Mjolner or -100% mana cost Hierophant setups. Reverse snapshotting is dead, so I'm not sure how much people are really going to gravitate toward Indigon, especially in lieu of the 0 cost options, but I'm not that well versed on mana builds.

Defensively I think you can get a lot of value out of just -100% cost, high mana pool, mana master(ies) to recover mana, and/or some damage recouped as mana mana. It's a pretty small leap from what you're already doing and gets back a lot of the mana for your pool without having to hard scale mana regen that you don't otherwise need.

I'm still undecided on my plan. I might still do Storm Brand as a league starter just to do it, then reroll into a Lightning Strike build of some sort. I don't think I want to force LS as the starter.
