However, the two alternative versions of Frost Bomb have no Orb tag, for whatever reason (wtf???)... Those are harder to get and worse for what I would want to do because one increases the duration, which I'd try to reduce, and the other one has lower base damage and lower damage effectiveness... The hype died as quickly as it came to life. How'd you get this info? I'm not 100% on what my league starter is gonna be, but I'm waiting on info on skill gem changes before I decide. I assumed that info wasnt available yet. | ||

One version of ball lightning is out as it's an orb but the others aren't. | ||

I assumed that info wasnt available yet. The only skill info we're missing is the details for a few of the new transfigured gems. Gems that were called out as buffed/nerfed in the patch aren't updated in POB yet, but the level 20 info for them is enough to manually update the developer version of POB with a bit of effort. If it wasn't mentioned in the notes, it wasn't changed. | ||

Spectral Throw with a decent 2H and the 2H mastery for more damage against rares and uniques? ^ bump Curious to see how Incinerate of Venting behaves as a totem (hopefully continuously channels rather than releasing at max stacks like the base gem). Out of town the first two weekends so going to be an incredibly slow league start for me. | ||

Out of town the first two weekends so going to be an incredibly slow league start for me. Yeah, Spectral Throw / Spectral Helix were what were recommended last league. I haven't kept up to see if there's any changes for this league but that was what was recommended in 3.23 I like Helix more as a skill, but it hasn't really recovered since the nerfs a while ago. Same with the early game Steel skill nerfs. Those + Sunder are usable if you force it. But if you are decent at getting multi-hits with spectral throw it feels the best to me. Usually if boss is against a wall, or if you sweet spot the range so the swords are spinning on top of the boss I haven't seen any updated boneshatter PoB because they are busy panicking over the Call to Arms change, but you can look at the old PoB. It has leveling section until a boneshatter swap in Act 6. I'm assuming you're not doing bone shatter, but the spectral gems + tree before then can help you + Show Spoiler [Ziz and Carn Video] + | ||

I've heard Sunder isn't the best for bossing. Was thinking of running half a dozen to a dozen normal labs to fish for a few transmuted green gems and let RNGesus take the wheel (either of the Bombarding Clones BAMAs, Dual Strike of Ambidexterity, even DD of Chain Reaction), but if it's a slog/risky to run the lab/bonk Izaro then I'll rethink it. | ||

Not having to cast your warcries at all seems like a huge QoL boost even if you can't time things as well For what it's worth, during the Zizaran interview today Mark said you will not be able to automate multiple warcries at the same time. Apparently Ziz got confirmation after that what was shown in the showcase was either a bug or just not intended. | ||

If it wasn't mentioned in the notes, it wasn't changed. I missed this! Winter Orb of Finality is broken, and I was hoping it'd get fixed for Necropolis because I wanted to play with it. Right now, it only returns projectiles if the projectile in question hits a wall first, both for the main and secondary projectiles. Owell. | ||

Trying explosive traps for the first time >_> looking forward to all the funny/punny igns yeah. Explosive traps is at least a very smooth leveling experience imho. Played it a long time ago to 90+ on HC without having any problems at all, way before transfigured or alternate gems. And single target is probably still bonkers. Still not 100% sure what i wanna do, and already in queue (50K+). I was thinking about the super tanky trickster stuff with ephemeral edge and splitting steel, but i`m just not sure if "ultra tanky but mediocre and nerfed dmg" really is something i wanna go for. Alternatively i`ll just play necro, either as "ALL THE MINIONS" or that cool iron mass skeleton build i saw from some dude i`ve never heard of before. | ||

Edit: Got to, uh, Oak/Vaal Ruins during his nap. Spectral Throw leveling going well, getting distracted by new campaign stuff. Should probably do some league crafting to get a 4L or MS boots. | ||

I was going to say the same. Its a craft league thats very expensive to craft but the high end is going to be wicked. BAMA has gone very well. Acts with NecroSRS was cake but making the transision to bama was a struggle. Day 2 was white map suffering but early blight was a godsend for chaos recipes. After getting a few chaos I have been able to make the switch and its gone really really well. | ||

Just shy of maps; ran normal lab ~10 times to get both BAMA gems and swapped from Spectral Throw to impale BAMA. Need to craft a better bow and get a few Ghastly Eyes. | ||
