One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
Aren't orb gems limited to one active at a time? So hydrosphere and tornado couldn't work together. Or orb of storms.

Does anyone have a good fireburst autobomber build? Is it still the elementalist?

That, or Scourge Arrow since haven't played it in a while. This Death oath/Caustic arrow build looks good.

What pantheons are y'all thinking now? Do any stand out more than the others, or is it mostly gonna be using them to tailor ailment immunities your build/tree doesn't already have?

I won’t league start it, but I played a bit of the meme mirror arrow + void shot last league, and wouldn’t mind throwing tornado in the mix this league to see how it goes

Yeah I'm thinking I'll start out as a TR Raider and use that to build wealth until I can switch over without having to level a new character.

The mathil vid is up. He recommends Glad/Raider Exsanguinate Ascendant, Poisonous Concoction PF, Spectral Helix Raider, and Staff Shockwave Chieftain again. He says the cyclone one is probably not as good as it used to be, though, so if I go for that maybe I will do duelist instead. The Ascendant one looks really interesting though, cuz of that PDoT wheel right near Scion start you get a lot of damage out of the gate, then snap up the rest on the left half of tree before using path of the ranger to pick up more life and a bunch of spell suppression and evasion. I didn't look at the PoB but it sound ls promising. Exsanguinate is neat.

I’ll second Spectral Helix Raider as that’s what I started last league and it was A+. Especially if you haven’t played a Raider since the buffs a few leagues back. You’ll never wanna play anything else.

Jungroan released a vid a week or two ago talking about running The Fledgeling on it as well for a nice damage boost which seems like a neat wrinkle to add

Not as strong as you'd expect.
Meh. 5 Gig. That'll take something like 2 days. 25 would be even worse.

For another league that will mean nothing to me. Bleh.

Its basically the strongest starter especially for SSF and won gauntlet last time. You can go poison (with the coated shrapnel jewel, ideally but not needed) which some people prefer, or crit based. Very fast and fun.
Getting the 5Link for exsang with the shaper gloves Trap support is not hard either.
In last league it was great and it got buffed.

Ziz made a video for it too

Thanks for this, I really like pob guides that have tons of info and early game/levelling options, and a clear upgrade path. Especially for SSF, it tells me what I should be focusing on.

My brother really wants to do SST this league but the build I followed last league is not gonna update for 3.16, does anyone have any updated builds for SST glad, preferably SSF viable? I can try adapt what I did last league, but despite playing since closed beta, I'm not great at making builds. There are just too many things to optimize, especially with the new tree.

folks. please advise.

poison traps sabo:
+ immune to ailments
+ stupid high DPS
+ high hp
+ multiple layers of defense: max spell suppression, moderate evade, ghost dance, high regen
- annoying on bosses



scion exsang (glad/raider):

++ zoom
+ acceptable DPS
+ high HP
- few layers of defense: max block, max spell suppression
- squishy
- needs some figuring out
- probably more expensive in the long run

don't you really only need dual cold iron points for deeps, and a 5/6l chest. those are usually pretty cheap after a while, and you could just craft +1 phys wands to tie you over until you get the currency for league start prices. but since most of your damage is dot, and comes from the tree, juicing it higher IS expensive, but also not super necessary either. also idk if my standards are low or what, but max spell suppression and high block and decent hp IS tanky if you ask me. but you could always max out chaos res and slap in divine flesh w/ the flask trigger poo poo. or I dunno, get a lot of armor and squeeze in defiance banner too. I dunno.

Have trapping builds changed drastically? They are usually great at bosses.

Yeah and they should have done that in the first place so I don't think anyone is genuinely upset that GGG made a new "semi-chase" unique not totally effortless to get, especially because it's a unique so you don't even need to worry about crafting it (unlike 6L white astrals which are great bases but it didn't skip the whole "actually make a good rare out of this base" step).

There's no guild interaction if you're SSF right? Like the new guild hideouts won't be a thing, so there's no point in joining.

They are pretty annoying if you don't one shot it with built up traps and it's a fast one. I remember Hunter being really annoying on my trapper. I still killed him fast but the chase stage was really irritating. That one unique boss, the prox shield one that just runs in circles forever, I didn't even bother attempting because I knew it would suck so bad.

Time for the traditional last minute doubts about what build to play.

Currently thinking either TR Raider or the Poison TS Occultist build that Fyregrass put out. The Poison TS build looks way more survivable than I would have thought but I also really, really don't want to get baited into a lovely starter again.

Flip a coin and choose based on the outcome. Then, decide on a completely different build at the last minute. I suggest Animate Weapon Guardian.

If you're not following a build guide? Follow one.

If you don't want to do that? Screw around with it in Path of Building to see what looks good.

If you don't want to do that? Good luck.

Caustic arrow occultist, pick up death's oath once you get to maps. Either that or Champion Toxic Rain, which is ungodly levels of tanky.

You need 140% life by endgame and preferably more - path to your life nodes firsts, then let that guide where else you go (when planning, not when levelling. DPS while leveling is good).
