What's the consensus on the best builds for speed-running labs? Like if my goal is to create a character for only running the labs, no mapping or anything else, what should I be looking at? Is QotF viable, or is evasion so bad that I'll just RIP too much in the lab? Haven't played for like 6 months, so I'm a bit behind on all this stuff.

What should I roll if I want to be able to be viable on basically all maps? Trying to crush some cheevs this league, including twinned 15s I guess. Ideally looking for good->great clearspeed and "not giving a gently caress what mods the map rolled". Maybe some kind of self-cast RF juggernaut or something?

e: Should note, I'm on SC and don't mind spending up to maybe 20 exalts on the build.

Yea if you want to run literally any mod it's a bit restrictive. There's a lot of very powerful builds that can do all but 1 or 2 mods or anything but specific combos.

I am playing Explosive Arrow this league and it can do anything but elemental reflect or the combo of no regen + no leech, and easily handles T15 twinned or crazy 8mod maps.

With a 20ex budget you could look into CoC Discharge or lowlife CoC phys spells, those can both run just short of everything. The flask build, either Pathfinder + Blade Vortex or just whatever with EK/BV can clear more or less any combination of mods with a very high clear speed.

Yeah, I'm liking the look of LL CoC phys spells if that's the scion build running cyclone + BV etc?

So if I got enough divination cards to turn in for a corrupted unique "sword" should I do it now (at 55) or wait until I'm level 82 or whatever the ilvl cap is if I want to maximize the chance of getting something cool/useful? Can it give me things I can't equip yet?

Do it whenever, they aren't based on your level.

If I want to take the tooltip DPS challenge (not literally, just trying to deal massive dips–it doesn't actually have to be on the tooltip) and just try to one-shot bosses in PSC what's my best bet? I was thinking assassin self-cast discharge w/ all 3 elements and a bunch of curses but I'm open to suggestions. I also briefly considered tri-golem self-cast discharge elementalist w/ the 20% resist pierce node and elemental overload, but I'm not sure that would be better than just running actual crit. I'll die to reflect either way, but v0v.

Dual t1 (for elreon) res and -8 on a diamond. I have no clue what the market looks like for this poo poo right now.

You can't divine the life very high; divining only works within the tier. I'm voltaxic spark and wouldn't have any interest in that amulet due to the low life. Really, damage is more than fine already and a meager 16% increased is a pittance compared to all the more modifiers I already have. And it doesn't begin to compare dps-wise to the sparker amulet of choice, Victario's Acuity.

Good to know, ty :).

Do y'all think doing a southpaw reave build as Juggernaut would be better than doing it as Raider? I'm trying to figure out just how much attack speed you can get out of the 1% / 100 accuracy thing but I'm a bit too dumb to really figure it out.

Okay so my computer is fixed, I'm downloading today, and I need to make a decision on what melee build to roll. Cyclone is obviously still good, I've heard EQ is pretty good? But I don't know how I feel about trying to have as low attack speed as possible, I like going fast. What's a good fast melee build? Or should I just go with cyclone for the third time?

Blade Vortex maybe?

Challenges seem remarkably easier this league. Trying to figure the four I'll skip and currently thinking: two endgame grinds, maps from map bosses, div cards, and the unique strongbox.

What are other people thinking?

Strongbox one is pretty easy this league, they bumped their spawn rate significantly and there is at least one prophecy that gives you one for free.

e; Plaguemaw quest chain gives you a unique strongbox.

Hot take:

Pohx's Oro's double totem Inquisitor build reminded me that I had meant to try to think of ways to play SWORD WITCH before and I came up with something:

Skill tree

Main Links: Ice Crash - Concentrated Effect - Weapon Elemental Damage - Fire Penetration - Increased AoE - Fortify/Life Leech

Imagine you're playing Flameblast but you do like half the initial hit damage of 10 stack Flameblast, have to stand in melee range, use a 2 hander instead of a shield, and take increased damage.

I played triple curse oro flicker occultist on perandus to great success. I also had a 6l shavs, skyforths, a lvl 4 enlighten, etc. because perandus owned but hey, you could probably do it without that stuff.

Has GGG said anything about a premium map tab? I already have problems organizing all of my maps and can't imagine what a mess my stash is going to be with 50% more of them to keep track of.

And I might have to drop some cash on a supporter pack for the sweet armor. :homebrew:

The big problem is that maps are unique by item ID or however they store these things so they don't stack very well.

They could maybe do some kind of sorted by name within tier thing or something but IDK I feel like it would end up being a mess.

Trying a 2h flicker strike build and really liking it, but you really have to keep up with your weapon damage to make it viable because if you can't 1-3 shot mobs you start dropping frenzy charges pretty fast. So I just paid one chaos for a 464 dps Kondo's. I know some people switch it up at endgame and use Oro's, but is it viable to stay with physical damage instead, out of interest? And as far as scaling damage goes I presume I just want +phys on every piece of gear I can get it on, right?

It's fine, you just can't sustain charges against most bosses so unless you're rolling mirrored gear on standard you will need a secondary skill to deal with boss fights.

I'm considering doing a CI crit inquisitor with one of the new channeled skills next league, provided they don't nerf CI into the ground. Gifts from Above might be worth running for 100% consecrated ground uptime which, with inquisitor buffs and ZO, would be 80% damage 8% ES regen/sec and 25% cast speed, and also permanent immunity to elemental statuses. Should be trivial to hit like 25% ES regen/sec which, with a ~12k pool + some leech, should be enough to just stand still and channel away.
