No forsaken masters? Back flags are awesome, one of my faves just because of that.

It's certainly the easiest league starter I've ever tried, given that the entire build is "poison concoction + any old poo poo on the tree".

Especially because one of the bosses (some version of Shav) is un-scaled so you just get one-shot.

Yeah, Prison Shav hosed me up a few times so far, she's on my "avoid like the plague" list along with Chayula.

I just got the achievement for getting all the Shaper shards by killing the Elder in the Lower Prison on Act 1.

I will take that since it seems I never get far enough into leagues to fight either of them for real.

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

Well, done with Endless Heist at 75. Maybe I�ll grind out 80, but not sure I care enough.

I did RF Inquisitor. It was ok. I was a bit overcapped on res and could have probably afforded to drop Purity of Elements for Determination or something else. There was a bit of room to further optimize if I really wanted, but trade in these short leagues is pretty crappy so I couldn�t be assed to do so.

As expected, RF was pretty good against the swarms of enemies but was a bit slower to kill rare+ mobs. But, I learned that the playstyle didn�t really feel satisfying to me. It�s hard to beat on kill explosions for pack clear and/or range.

On to the next mini event league. Thinking I may try that CoC EOW Inquis. Think that�ll be viable in this short league?

So many rips, think I managed level 12 once then a ton of mud flats and tidal island deaths. Scaling at early A1 is just nuts, resetting zones to avoid 1-shots.

Yeah it�s real rippy in early A1 but then with a tabula and tons of uniques it gets pretty easy by the end of the act. Even only stopping to kill the invasion bosses you end up way over leveled. I think this is the fastest I�ve ever killed Mervail.

Broken Cog: Dec 29, 2009; We're all friends here

Event is fun but also real easy. Most of the map bosses are easier than any of the actual act unique enemies (not to mention Einhar beasts), and the amount of uniques you get is pretty silly.

That�s generous. I�d take you up on it if I had an inquis I could regret over, but nope. I�ll probably just try the build in the voided temp league.

I've just reached maps, and the campaign kinda just feels like standard with a bunch of extra uniques per map.
Might have to pay some attention if Shaper or some of the other top end bosses show up, but everything else is basically loot pinatas.

Basically, until GGG changes the endgame which is presumably happening this upcoming expansion. There's other minor story threads like the Expedition crew and Shaper/Elder, but those are more like appendices compared to the main story of Exile ---> Killing Templars ---> Killing Gods ---> Killing Conquerors
