wintertide brand plus the brands detatch always mastery on brand clusters is a hard carry through the campain.

Unless something changes in maps you get a single reward type no matter the delirious %, it's very much the opposite of sick. It's even worse than a 1 orb map but with potentially all the difficulty of a 5 orb map.

Bleh, that sucks, I thought it scaled like regular orbs too.

Made it to A6, there's some definite un-loving GGG needs to do for this event. It seems like every zone you have to fight a boss is >70% (except for Chamber of Innocence thankfully being at 1%) and the rewards are rather pitiful for the effort required. Gauntlet might have been brutal, but at least it was consistently brutal and it didn't come with something that could double the amount of enemies you have to face at any given moment.

I'm sure I can get to 50, but if this event remains as-is that's all I'll do, which sucks because I really want to see what happens to this guy once I get bleedsplosions.

Doesn't stop this from being shitass though. Hopefully they make some changes to both difficulty while levelling and throw out some decent rewards. It's not like anyone gets to keep them.

Got a Siren effect. If you are just going for the box like I did, I strongly recommend just farming act 5 and not bothering killing Kitava, act 6 mud flats was like 96% delirious and the twilight strand was high too.

It would probably help if they sped up how long it takes for your starting character to play like a late game character, early game just using whatever twigs and scraps you found with stats on them for way too long without a replacement and gameplay just consisting of walking to doors as fast as possible and occasionally killing something that blocks your door.

Just let people start with the league uniques, and maybe a set of white armor

Edit: Delirium actually makes some bosses easier than normal, since the delirum attacks aren't all that strong, and they have to stand still channeling them for a long time

cold dot/wintertide worked well for me, i assume caustic arrow/tr in particular would do well.

totems in particular are extremely op for the aggro they pull

and you really really want to have 2+ quicksilvers early on

I wouldn't mind struggling through the zones if it weren't just one lootbox even for 98% delirium.

This league is honestly not that bad once you get your damage up enough that high delirium isn't a brick wall.

Why does every league have to be a loot pinata league? We already had that with the Atlas invasion, and it was just kinda dull.

If they wanted this to be a Gauntlet style event, they could have communicated that better. Hearing Delirium Everywhere made me think Atlas Invasion but cluster jewels instead of uniques.

I honestly wouldn't consider this on the same level as the gauntlet leagues, it's just poorly balanced. It starts off annoyingly difficult since several zones have near-immortal enemies, but as you get your build together it becomes a "slightly harder" version of a normal league, with extra rare/magic enemies and occasional random delirium rewards everywhere.

Edit: one tip though: Do not choose a build that comes online late. You're gonna need damage all the way through

Im seriously not suffering through this kinda overtuned bullshit for a 3 dollar box.

This is the single most miserable leveling experience ive ever had in this game, and ive played warbands.

Think the best leveling build for this is muling 4 quicksilvers.

I was a little dubious on this one from the beginning but the rewards not working properly completely killed it for me. Gauntlets are interesting because they're about an 80/20 split between offense and defense scaling. This is the inverse, maybe even closer to 10/90. Just giving stuff way more hp is only threatening until there are decent movement skills in play. After that it's just annoying.

I'm always looking for ways exponentiate damage with planned party play. You'd be surprised how hard the game tries to eliminate every source.

The only two good ones I've seen are:

- Viper Strike with Growing Agony jewel (it is a lot worse with Assassin poison duration nerf, but each character with a spellcast loop does multiply the increased damage)

- Voidfletcher with Supreme Grandstanding (can get insane with players sharing void charges, but that jewel would be near impossible to get in this event)

(Brittle is also super good for multiplying party damage but I'm not counting it because it's much easier to put on an Animate Guardian than making a player do it)

Still racking my brain to come up with ways to multiply damage with teamwork that outpaces the 300% More boss life. Things have gotten dire since they removed literally every increased aura effect from Cluster Jewels. Delirium makes Occultist corpse explosion suck too which was the best pack clearing option
