Definitely another minion build for a starter, but maybe a guardian based one instead of necro?

It's absolutely insane to me how fast these dudes blow through the content of the game. Takes me at least a week or sometimes even two weeks to get A10 Kitava down with my league starter. Combination of being bad at the game, and playing pretty casually, but they finish A10 in what would be my first play session.. maybe getting to level 20'ish. lol..

Honestly I really like the alien motif of Harbinger but If it was between say Legion or Harbinger then I'm going with Legion. Sucks that it's pricey, but I've always been a Bold player myself so here's to :rolldice:

EDIT: Domination just means regular-rear end shrines and not the weird ones from the league, right? I didn't play that one. This means more Gulls and Tamings right? Not that Gulls are super duper I just haven't used one but have grouped with goons who have and I figure Bow League seems a pretty good fit for trying it out on a Ballista or just regular pew pew bow char

Yes, it's something like +3 shrines. It's actually decently rewarding if you run maps that don't bug out and fail to place shrine packs.

Might be worth seeing how the build functions without a built-in CoC item in standard, cause who knows how accessible that's gonna be in 3.9

Can't comment on elementalist but personally if I weren't necro I'd just use a different spell to free up a slot for another support gem.

e: threw my setup into a tabula (dropped combustion) and did a t15, seems fine but the numbers were overkill to begin with

While it's been a pretty smooth ride to red maps, not having a 6-link outside of a Tab really starts to hurt since it's still effectively a melee-range build, but you can counteract that with more life on the tree, somewhat. You still want about 5-5.5k life I'd say.

This'll get you most of the way. The only non-obvious thing there is the Lethal Pride gem (Kiloava version) that converts Eldritch Battery into Glancing Blows: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Lethal_Pride

You use a Kiloava Lethal Pride to help cap your block (along with Rumi's and passives) and a shaper shield with 'recover %es on block'. Other than that it is a pretty standard low life vortex/cold snap occultist.

Going necro again here. At least for starter it has such a smooth transition to endgame and is so cheap to gear.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

I think it's more a case of "tencent always asks for full access to the client to do their things so they can promise players that there'll be no involvement". Tencent isn't unaware of how the rest of the world looks at monetization of eastern games.

Every other company that gets bought by tencent gives a big speech on how their monetization schemes will not be altered and after six months of people complaining a lot about how the game is gonna become p2w everyone calms down because nothing happened.
This is the "nothing happened" part.
