My one and only character is RF totems with tukohama for fire immune totems and temporal chains/elemental weakness/flammability blasphemied with whispers of doom skill and doedres damning. Kills everything and enemies target the totems so you're mostly fine. Not that fast though.

i did a zana daily map yesterday and it was a normal kill the rogue exiles one with no beyond mod but the one where blue packs get a bloodline (i think) mod. abaxnoth randomly spawned after i think i took down a blue pack. is it possible that the blue pack had beyond or something? was really weird that he just popped up out of nowhere.

cool boss though. killed him without too much trouble since i was on my flame totem guy so i could just run circles around him

I keep flipping between a cold caster (inquisitor or elementalist), an EQ jugg since I didn't do EQ yet, or a crit EK assassin. New league needs to start already fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

If he spawned when the blue pack died that was one of the mods from bloodlines league.

I will be out of town after 3PM on Jun 3d so I only get two hours to start prophecy before having a week's lag. I am trying to decide between the following:
Assassin Herald Bomber (super fun but falls off hard in red maps and enfeeble/status effect immunity maps)
Guardian support (expensive and I lack friends to carry me)
Dual Obliteration wander (cheap and versatile)

i'm leaning toward Guardian on HC but the guild HC playerbase is pretty slim.

I'm hoping to push for 36 challenges this season so I may just failback to the Prophecy SC league.

I'll give 'em a hold

And if they can't play nice
I won't play with 'em at all
Most ascendancies buffed on the weaker nodes. Some crazy poo poo like:

Juggernaut Unrelenting
6% increased Damage per Endurance Charge
8% reduced Elemental Damage taken while at Maximum Endurance Charges
If you would gain Endurance Charges, you instead gain up to your maximum number of Endurance Charges.

edit:

Deadeye Powerful Precision
Attack Projectiles Return to You after hitting targets
Projectiles have 100% additional chance to Pierce targets at the start of their movement, losing this chance as the projectile travels further
Projectile Critical Strike Chance increased by Arrow Pierce Chance

Returned projectiles can't hit the same target though, otherwise that would be ridiculously OP (especially on something like Tornado Shot).

Elementalist granting +1 to golems innately holy poo poo!

e: also the free ele prolif is buffed to 12, which is the current range of ele prolif (which is getting buffed to 16)

50% reduced ele reflect damage taken WOW

There is no end to the changes i could list they all sound really good. Elementalist sounds amazing right now especially with 8 points

I really don't think its going to be that big of a deal

Chris Wilson posted:

Previously we made all tier 3 and 4 uniques four times more common. We're keeping the tier 3 ones where they are and tweaking the tier 4 ones a bit. It's not a huge change.

I think the rarest tier of items could stand to be made slightly rarer than in Perandus, but he doesn't make it seem like they're going back to 20+ ex in rarity.

Chris Wilson posted:

We only have one minor change in the main passive tree, Arcane Vision is now connected to the same attribute node as Pain Attunement. The changes to Ascendancy Trees have been much more extensive.

Some cool changes with the ascendancy nodes. I was planning on getting the double chest armour node with the 2 extra points, but now I will take the Fortify node for the extra damage reduction and rework my passive tree to pick up the Fortify cluster. That comes out to an extra 8% damage reduction and about 60% increased damage, which is probably worth giving up a few life nodes.

You download the offline planner and use that:

https://github.com/EmmittJ/PoESkillTree/releases/tag/2.2.9

just get/install PoESkillTree-Ascendancy-2.2.9.exe. yes its safe.

Did they not buff any of the poo poo Scion ascendancies? Yeah, Berserker needed a nerf, but I can't believe they left total garbage like Chieftain, Juggernaught, and Necromancer for Scion untouched.

I think they're waiting to see how Scion shakes out now that you can get two subs AND pick an alternate start. That's a hard thing to plan for, and they'd rather not have to nerf crazy poo poo the community ends up coming up with if they don't have to.

Scion/Deadeye nerf is the most frustrating. It leaves the overpowered builds in place while loving everyone else. Drillneck has 10% pierce, so all you need to get 100% with the gem again is to use the 10% pierce unique jewel.

Looks like no changes to Occulist, buffs to Necromancer (basically free purity and minor haste with auras, slightly more effect attached to offerings).

That 20% cull on slayer is weird - "kill enemies with 20% life or lower when hit", so it seems like its a counterattack thing (that you can't like increased rarity too).
