Would be interested in that as well. I haven't found the time to update yet because I need to save a lot of data etc. if I want to switch to Linux.

Yeah, the data backup part is gonna take a while for me too.
One interesting question would probably be: Can you transfer the files from your steamapps folder (as you could with changing windows PCs / moving to another hard drive) when switching from win to linux? Steam on Linux uses Proton, which uses Wine to run windows exlusive stuff, so it might work? But maybe SOME games have a proper linux install themselves, and it wouldnt need or use Wine then? Are we worse off then if we use the "Wine Version" ? Still some research to do for sure. This one is especially interesting for me, because my internet speed is atrocious, so it would take me like... 3 weeks or more to just redownload my currently installed games.
Fedora should be fine, at least i instantly found like... 4 guides to install steam on Fedora with my first search. The official valve repo (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux) seems to recommend just LTS Ubuntu, so i suppose that would also work. Probably comes down to preference which "flavour" of linux you prefer. Maybe check beforehand if one or the other has problems with drivers for your graphics card ? That would be the only point that i can think of right now.
Will of course provide infos the more i test out/research. Still, would be great to hear from someone who actually already did that :D

According to a Mark Roberts interview, Bloodlines are intended to be core and stay around after this league ends.

Works with no issues for me on Arch Linux, although I do run the game through steam. Not sure how well the non steam alternatives work.
ProtonDB on steam is so good these days. Basically any steam game runs perfectly on Linux with ProtonDB.
Only real issue you might have is getting some of the third-party programs working such as PathOfBuildingCommunity, etc. There's an AUR package for it on Arch Linux that works fairly well, but I'm not sure that other distributions have it.

Yeah, I have little doubt steam/gog games will work for the most part. But I run stand alone clients whereever I can and am also scared that some of my custom software or older games become unusable.

Just 1 bloodline left unannounced from what I can tell.
It seems like they're mostly targeting niche interactions with these. I guess it makes sense with them intending to go core, but it does seem hard to build around most of them.
Lycia has some pretty interesting ones. I think a lot of phys conversion builds can make some use of Bitter Heresy. Sinner Saint seems interesting, but there basically aren't other sources of ele conversion in the game. You can get 95% fire to chaos with two bad uniques, but that seems to be it. It's hard to imagine wanting to convert only half of an element to chaos given the opportunity cost for scaling. Maybe there's something with phys to cold to fire, since you can only get half of cold to fire with the support, then you'd have the other half straight to chaos, plus half of the fire to chaos.
I dunno, seems like a lot of hoops to jump through with some really uneven scaling vectors. I'm interested seeing if someone cooks something up.

Aul's immunity if no socketed gem stuff seems like it could be good. Delirious 40% less from hits seems good but the jewel downside is rough
seems like this could be a balance nightmare so they headed it off by making most things odd? there must be some minion / attack build that goes nuts

PoB flatpak is still being maintained https://flathub.org/en/apps/community.pathofbuilding.PathOfBuilding
PoB is also on lutris https://lutris.net/games/path-of-building

It seemed like their goal was to avoid adding power to the meta builds and add things for more obscure builds. The problem is currently that so many of the nodes have random downsides on top of already being questionable for the ascendancy point cost.
Maybe this is just them wanting to leave room to buff things later since it's easier to buff than nerf, but it certainly does seem like there's not a whole lot of exciting things to build around overall.

is Chains of Command a viable starter? Seen some posts on it but seems I'm a bit afraid early on. Or is it a build that people swap into later?

this is the vid I saw

I mean, you can probably just play Absolution or SRS until you get the starter stuff, nothing in there looks particularly expensive.
The only thing that might be a bit awkward is running out of minions on bigger bosses before you got enough dmg to just... kill any boss with your first wormed minions. I know that happened to me a few times when i played spiders some leagues ago, but wasnt THAT big of a deal. Theres also this worm spawning ring now i think ?
Other than that - the early tree is not THAT different from balors holy relic build, and thats pretty damn good, so if it doesnt work out, or you dont like the style, you can still play that one. Bit more active and doesnt feel that much like a minion build. It also isnt a crit build, so SOME respeccing will be in order to switch.
Edit: - Small afterthought. Whats also pretty nice is the fact that it spawns lvl 20 or lvl 18 animate weapon either way. So skill gem levels actually dont do anything for your damage (though they still do a lot for AG survivability ofc). Meaning you dont have to craft +2 Wands or stuff like that. I feel early gearing with chains of command not needing links and scaling of just as/crit/dmg for minions makes gearing probably pretty comfy.
I hadnt thought about this in... forever, basically. Might even consider trying it myself now tbh

Alright, the time is nigh. What's everyone league starting?
I'm planning on Holy Relic of Conviction until things shake out a bit more. Wander or a COC build is a definite possibility as a second build.

RF Chieftan into some wander for second.
speaking of which I'm probably going to be late for league start(like 10-12 hours) which means I'll probably bug one of you to send me some gems because I don't want to mule and some of you would already be at maps.

The difficult question every league :D
I did the thing again where i started with a plan, looked around, and now i got like 10 PoBs in my 3.27 folder and no idea what to actually start.
I know that, despite the best argument made in the first seconds of this guide, i`m not gonna start manastacking again (at least as a starter), because i did that so much in past leagues already. Mjölner and cwc lightning warp is super fun and fast tho.
Will probably end up starting absolution into either animate weapon or holy relic, but might very well just throw some dice and pick whatever out of my list that also includes phys dot ele, some palsteron ballista stuff, RF. Hell, i might even start slams for a completely different experience or even bait myself into starting BV again, even though i tried that last league and abandoned it before lvl 90 :D
|
I'm going safe and will start what i did last league with Hierophan Flameblast of Celerity.
Might try to do full phys flicker after with some of the bloodline nodes that seem nice
|
totems, always totems start; probably some attack ones first.
|
Im going to play Holy Relic of Conviction. I finished the campaign with SRS but I have to farm merc labs for the gem.
But I will go to sleep, it is 6am already, league starts too late in Europe xD
|
league mechanic is super fun. im going really slow doing it while leveling but its a nice change of pace. Instant buyout feels awesome. Slams Zerker OP. Good times
|
Going wandering this league. Gear luck is dogshit, no clear build, taking forever to get through the campaign.
But god damm this is the peakest league I've ever felt. Its TOTA level all over again.
|
Yeah the tree tree is pretty good. 6-links are so common that they're completely worthless already. A good chunk of the gear I'm wearing has come from crafting on it. The currency has so far just been bubblegum, but it's been helpful for keeping up with alchs and vaals for the atlas.
I do think the balance is a bit lacking for the breach stuff on the lower end of maps. The tankiness of enemies doesn't really match the rest of the content at that level and even if you are comfortably clearing that tier you frequently can't manage the hives.
