I question just how long the corpse thing will hold up once it goes live. If I were a betting man I'm expecting them to reverse it within two weeks.

I'm also curious as to just how far things scale. Once I got into the groove of things A8 T16 maps weren't so bad with a very few exceptions, so I'm interested to see how they handle doing Delirium mode in those.

Big fan of the need to scale a build though.

One of the notes from Baeclast mentioned making brands into their own archetype - intriguing since storm brand is already kind of its own thing. I ain’t complaining, though, cause it’s my favorite skill. Just hope it doesn’t get nerfed again somehow :v:

Yea, I've had a hard time deciding on a build for the league but that's more wanting a starter build that can progress easily into A6 T16 Delirium. I don't think many builds will have an issue once they have had solid investment into gear and dps, especially since it sounds like the league is tuned more towards monster HP than it is to monster damage. But outside of a couple very boring options that I have played recently(impale cyclone, summoner and miner), the pickings are slim for high dps high clearspeed builds that don't need real gear.

The issue with Mana Guardian is that they have enough dps for all the content, but do not have to invest anything into getting that damage. You're essentially building an entire character of defenses and get hard carried by how little investment minions need to complete the game. That's obviously bad design it was only a matter of time.

I mean, GGG already said they liked the whole "no investment" way that Hoag turned out, where it could work entirely with defensive nodes. I think it's important to give people a decent baseline to compete all the content without having to quit their 9 to 5.

If they're gonna nerf Geoffri's then that screws my STR stacking Chieftain (rather, all of them). It sucks that a non-minion build like that has to suffer.

I just hope that the buffs to Animate Weapon are enough to offset the nerfs to summoners, because I am still doing it even if it's horrible!!!

I wonder if abyss will have a higher relative value this league. With the potential for extra jewel slots on the tree there might be more demand for abyss jewels.

Does Blight mean its a Blight map, or does it mean you will see a normal Cassia encounter?

those arent awesome but i guess ill abyss every map, i like abyss. Cyclone league starter looking good so far. Though i do love brands, maybe ill see if i can find a starter that can scale into endgame. storm brand owns.

That Blight mod would be a great bargain at 8c except it feels like I have to run like 20 loving blights before I see a Blighted Map drop. If they made it like 1 in 5 it would actually be worthwhile.

Still, if you get 2 stacked decks from the Blight (not as hard to do) you've made your money back.

Ah well I guess that makes sense. This is as close to Master Cassia as GGG is going to give me without nerfing how awesome Blight drops are, so I guess I'll take it. 8 Chaos is quite steep though, and it doesn't work with Delirium.......

You can probably just run the delirium, then come back and talk to cassia.

Blight works with Delirium IIRC, it's just Blighted maps themselves that do not.

In the context of Delirium, Abyss for 2c is probably actually pretty good. Abyss spawns a fair lump of monsters, so adding them for 2c seems like a pretty good deal.

and since this is wander league maybe abyss jewels will be valuable again

Cinara
Jul 15, 2007
Abyss jewels will never be valuable again, they both got nerfed too much and it's too easy to get high ilvl ones compared to in the past when they had value. Very early in the league you can get a few chaos for the high ilvl ones if you're ahead of the pack, but it's never going to be a real money maker like when i85 Searching Eyes were 15-25c.

So if the league always has different map mods, what mods are available in Standard? all of them? or none of them?
