Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

[430am]

I'll do ranged this league, been feeling like running an arrow build for a while now.

 

[ArchAngel]

I am certainly going Guardian summoner, new aura summon is interesting. Not sure if I should do SRS (not poison), Absolution or Skeleton Mages. I will try to go for that unique body armor that lets your summons ignore enemy elemental resistance.
I will need to play this one on my PC as I will need to trade a lot to get items for Animated Guardian and shit.. unless there are valid options to not use that. Animated Guardian shenenigans is one of the main reason I usually do not enjoy doing summoners in PoE. D2 Necro was fun, you just summoned everything and cast your curses. No need to all this PoE shit.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Totems again, from someone who run gauntlets with them.
No cursing body rags this time.... storm burst

 

[Grunker]

Grunker league starting as your fav, an RF inquisitor.

Unfortunately not gonna play this league myself, but give updates on your progress

 

[tritosine2k]

nice start til T16 but not a delirium farmer like the chains.

Last time I did standard animate weapon till act10 and got chains of command already in act10 might try this instead now until I get an echoforge with chains ( replica oro's sacrifice was super fun till they got minion frenzy charge) . I think speedrunners drop chains of command on white tower maps already or you can farm it, so it's easy to get in act10 but its kinda high maintenance because need tons of flask charge generation.

Scion pathfinder can spec out of minions into https://poe.ninja/builds/crucible?allskills=Impending+Doom+Support&uniqueitems=Vixen's+Entrapment,Progenesis,Taste+of+Hate&type=depthsolo (this is why temporal chains got nerfed and vixen's glove is expensive early league easily best in slot minion glove and occultist is better than necromancer).

This can do simulacrum 30 btw

that's for skelly mage because the projectile's element is random. You can still use punishment curse with that. BTW they found the recipe for skeleton mage jewel.

Minions die easily now unless you know what's up. Certain clusters are mandatory even in chains of command (blessed rebirth,life from death ).

I think skeleton mage also needs blessed rebirth, that's a nice 2 div jewel unless you craft. Animate weapon resummoning itself with chains is kind of a boon. But then they can also fall but usually that takes some posessed conqueror or soul eater or so, it's always an "event".

AG is not mandatory if you can't afford Kingmaker you can use mines instead, like high impact mine supporting portal (0 mana cost).
Each Mine from Supported Skills applies 2% chance to deal Double Damage to Hits against Enemies near it, up to a maximum of 100%

Which Ascendant Forbidden Flame/ Forbidden Flesh would be cheapest/ easiest to trade for, Necro, Hiero or Pathfinder?

Wow, I didn't even imagine that they would let Ascendant have 3 notables with the Forbidden jewels. That's insane.

PF is sure pricey, Necro is only good vs Occultist if you have 3 offerings up and get block from 50% bone offering. Gladiator was better than bone offering before nerf BTW. You can see on above holy relic build has 3 offerings up. Well that and AOE because they killed the minion AOE passives but you don't need that with melee and anomalous AG has yuge AOE to begin with you just need +2 corrupt minion boots or helmet to socket into because you'll never get lvl21 anomAG. This is much easier than hungry loop ring or all minion skill gems gear.
A few leagues back,
AG with Inpulsa explode plus minion AOE passives used to scale hard . And if you managed to get endurance charge on AG the OLD endurance charge that was crazy, and it was even needed in sentinel league because sentinel plus expedition was some crazy shit. Nowdays you won't do simulacrum with AG, but delirium is ok.

good podcast with 4 very good players, if you're in need of some ideas on the upcoming league and have a couple of hours to fill:

 

[Baron Dupek]

Seventh Gate

Of Infinity

some good support gem analysis:

I was completely uninterested in this league but now I’m gerning FOMO

Guardian new ability gives you all 3 elemental auras so you need to ignore all elemental resistances for most effect.
Also this is interesting about mines, I didn't know this but it sounds like too many buttons to press problem. But I only have 3 buttons for Skills on the controller for use during fast battles and one of those is a movement skill.

Do not fear. The league will either be shit (you miss nothing) or be added to standard (you miss nothing). The odds of good league that does not get added to standard is really small.

It's been over a decade but excited they finally implemented a returning proj support gem:

Next up is homing projectiles...

...

You can do the mine trick if minions go down too fast and the boss would like to fuck you up. Like they use that frozen gem for Kosis. You can even collect weapons for act3 piety to animate weapon from not always but happens. Also exarch can fuck with AG. Or the knights expedition boss has low crit chance but it can one crit hit.

There's a specific corrupt that's very good for ag body armour 40% less crit taken. But not even that will be much in simulacrum, I packed my ball at 27 because 10div gear, lol.

 

[Jason Liang]

AHHH Console League launch is a week behind PC!!!!

I've been wondering why I'm still in Crucible League!

 

[tritosine2k]

...

Saw it now that's an autobomber no proof it's good for mapping. They already do this with golems. Looks like a way to skip primordial jewels. Not sure how well it scales if the initial cost is low.

[Jaedar]

Meanwhile Ramako got buffed so it's now -20% instead of 0. Making it potentially ok to take but probably not because being stationary sucks ass.

 

[ArchAngel]

Nice, minion master is doing Guardian Skele Mages as his starter build.. now I can just copy him exactly :D

 

[Jaedar]

Played for a very little bit, did first trial. This has to be the worst intro to a league mechanic ever. They just dump you right in and you you an info popup that's the height of the entire screen. I ended up losing, because I didn't read it and apparently I couldn't damage the enemy totems?
