How do you feel about Archnemesis mods on rares?
	Incredibly fun, I love them!
	They're alright
	Needs more work
	Almost as much fun as shoving a red hot nail under my fingernail

Think I'm gonna start Octavian's version of the Spectral Helix build since it's the kind of build I haven't done in ages (projectiles/bottom of the tree), it's nicely tanky which I like, and it's got good damage with lovely starter gear (the 365dps axe is about the only tough thing to get). Setting gem levels/quality down and adjusting to 5L with very little on config still gives me 670k dps vs Sirus in POB which seems plenty.

One thing I don't like about his version is that, being HC, he doesn't prioritize going fast much. POB doesn't even have a movement skill lol. It has decent inc attack speed, what's the go-to attack-based movement skill in these modern POE days?

On a fast 1hander, leap slam - faster attacks - (maybe lifetap if you reserve most of your mana) is hard to beat.

Deciding between Champion TR or PF SA right now.

Feel like I should go Champion TR since all the chaos gear and clusters will be expensive anyway

Sounds good, a little tight in his gem-setup but I fit it in

With the way this league gimmick seems to want you to quick clear as many things as possible in the dark world - could it be Flicker Strike time???
https://pastebin.com/LB4a2CdF i nabbed this PoB off the forums but it looks a little fragile (5k life and no chaos res seems pretty spooky even with 100% spell suppression) what do y'all think

Same OP, you can never be sure that an insane confluence of previously undiscovered bugs ISN'T going to turn that level 46 Faun's Horn into a mirror-tier monstrosity once the scroll touches it.

The universe is full of possibilities! :peanut:

it was annoying to manage but drat it didn't matter because bleed slams were fun. I just want to use sunder for something again.

After you are done patching, drag your GPPK file on to that exe, and it creates a second defragmented GPPK that is like 1 to 10 GB smaller.

After deciding to play this league, I basically ignored everything until today. Have just been through 30+ pages of the thread and am now suitably excited. All I need now is a witty character name and a ton of luck. See youse in the queues.

or, dont slap it on, keep the 1k es recovery from ghost dance while a champ has to give that up to match even a fraction of our power

Ruggan: Feb 20, 2007; WHAT THAT SMELL LIKE?!

I know Seismic Trap excels at bossing, but can it do decent map clears with Desang too? I don�t need to be the absolute fastest but I don�t want to be a snail either.

I�ve never played a trapper, so I�m strongly considering starting with one. I just don�t want to feel like I�ve got terrible map clear speed.

For those who really care about how many 1000 deep you are in the queue, I launched after patching and it goes through a cache cleanup process which takes a bit first. May want to do that before the queue goes up.
