What is a good build choice for raider?

I am currently playing this as I got bored of my WI witch.

Frost blades is a fun skill so far, but I am only like level 27-28.

I'd like to do SR-CWC-WI but I worry about the gear requirements and how they often conflict with HoWA, so it'd probably be pricey to gear at the start :/

e: or maybe an ice trapper; they didn't rely on any double dipping shenanigans, right? so still should be decent in 3.0?

yeah the fire conversion ice trappers were nerfed, you can still go hrimburn and scalle two dots at once, but it's not really the same

edit rip I thought you meant Vortex Traps, yeah ice traps are linear as gently caress and bad :D

I had a level 80 tshot Raider that I turned into that build, with some modifications. Like using QoTF instead of Belly, Darkray Vectors and Alpha's Howl (so I can get Grace and Hatred). At level 87 I have 40%ms....before charges. With 10 frenzies I'm at about 130%+ms and stay there throughout the map. This is the most fun I've had all league!

Will HoWA even be in 3.0 though? Breach League item, didn't think they put it in standard so....

They said before the start of 2.6 that they wanted to keep breach around in some form, but hadn't decided how to do it yet (with a vague hint that they wouldn't have to deal with it for 2.6 since it was before leaguestones were announced).

We'll probably have a better idea of how it'll work when the beta hits.

From their past comments they like Breach and are trying to figure out how to integrate it in the main game, so it's likely to exist.

I suppose it's possible it gets left out, in which case I'll go with WI.

Bad bad or bad in current meta bad; if they're killing double dipping, could they be decent at least as a league starter? I'm not looking to kill shaper with them or anything :)

There is literally 0 chance Breach doesn't make it into the core game in some form.

Item Get
Yeah, its their most popular league yet and the #1 leaguestone. Also, this game lives or dies by the amount of content it has and they aren't just going to get rid of all those items, bosses, mobs, currency and breachlord maps.

oh yeah it totally is a good league starter, go saboteur and go ham

you just wont be able to push early for uber atziri and shaper like other broken builds (maybe those builds wont exist in 3.0)

They could just do it like Vaal areas. You walk in and it spawns a breachlord like area abouthe same size as a vaal area.

Outstanding afternoon. "I've often said there's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse."

Genuine question: how many times have they added 3D art to an item that will only be acquirable for a single league without implementing a way to obtain that item through some means in standard or whatever?

Also I'm still buying howa poo poo, so sell me your howa poo poo goons(also lacerate/melee stuff on standard )

Never, everything that gets 3d art added ends up being a divinity card reward or baked in. GGG doesn't waste like that.

I know its fun from the sound of what people are saying here, is the guild still active and how long is left this league?

I don't think they've said anything one way or the other yet about the possibility of a filler league. I think it will probably depend on how the expansion is coming along - the farther away it is I'd say the more likely they run some kind of filler league.

for the record: The Guild being active or nor doesn't really change the game (besides chatting of course), by this point the guild stash is full and you can take levelling uniques to your hearts content

now what you need to consider is the market, and imo it's still active (and with that beta postponement it will stay active longer)

So you haven't just gone to poe.trade to buy gear over the last week since the last time you asked? Why do you have to buy gear from goons?

Stop eating those piss cheerios. Me asking if anyone has howa gear they're selling doesn't indicate that I have to buy gear from goons or that I haven't been on poe trade. Relax buddy

I started a Ranger for a HoWA build, but I kinda wasnt too sure how to start it off considering you cant really go ES right away (as far as I can tell). So I ended but just pumping skill points into life es and proj dmg. I was playing with skills and my ST sucked compared to Burning Arrow so was just doing that but I dont really like arrow builds...

I got to level 22 before I decided I wasnt sure what I was doing any more. I could do a burning arrow or something and see what happens in another 40 levels or so. Im very out of practice at this stuff.

I missed Breach League, but it seems kinda fun from the few times Ive found them. Also Legacy League is good and I regret not trying it sooner.

I'm pretty sure Legacy is the filler league. A few days downtime between leagues is normal, just spend the time theorycrafting builds and reading patch notes so you're ready when the next one launches.

Aren't you the goon that borrowed a 5l belly from another goon (who told you not to gently caress with it), and then you 6l'd it and put them on ignore when they asked for it back later? loving robbing a goon for less than 1ex lmao

Not really a filler league, just not one of their 'major' leagues. They've done 1 month leagues to stall multiple times in the past. I'm more than happy to wait for a little longer for a finished product, you should be too.

And 3.0 starts in July? Okay yeah, I guess we'll just have to see if they'll fill the gap with a hefty race season or something. In the past I think they've done flashback leagues as filler, but that'd seem a little silly after Legacy, the Flashback League to End All Flashback Leagues.
