Someone compiled a list of streamer starter builds:


None of those builds are spectre-centric.

Is occultist still dumpster tier? I may just do my usual cold snap + vortex starter thing if they've undone even like half the nerfs occultist took.

I thought about arc totem but I really don't see any on the forums. A few self cast arc that could used as arc totem. Elementalist probably. The hierophant I was't real big on the last time I played one.

Going Heiro, least I know where I'm at with the totems. Cheap and fast, probably switch later in the league to something more active.

Played ice shot last league when it was minion rework, it's only fair i play a minion centric build now that bows are getting reworked.

Makes sense.

Organs you collect to make a metamorph are only done in maps or in each zone while leveling too?

Occultist is still very strong though. And can pick up all the necessary nodes to get back to 85% of old occultist. Vortex itself is a beast ability. I’m thinking that malevolence watcher eye was sorta “mandatory” to get decent end-game scaling though.

They did say he new influences will have some juicy stuff for dots in the AMA.

I tried to come up with a bleed pop glad bow/ballista build. I still don’t see how you get the kind of life sustain with ballistas. No leech. No MoM on that side. I’d probably pick up Cloak of Defiance but then I expect mana issues. The life regen isn’t that close. And it slings you into elemental land anyway. I’m sure there’s a way to do it; just need to dick with it more. Puncture bleed canon pops with Glad sounded fun. Maybe use arrow nova support?

This is why I keep going chieftain. The artillery ballista does sound cool.

Divine ire totems is going to be amazing for the league mechanic and bossing. Get the spell totem robe and a +1 shaper shield and enjoy shocking the shit out of bosses. Clear is janky though and subject to typical one shots.

Im doing storm burst myself, but my god does ED/Contagion look like it will kick ass with some of the awakened gems. I may use that as a second build if I get that far. Also..still really curious how the new atlas will affect things and if we can 'brick' our atlas somehow. It may be a good idea to leave one region at white maps and one at yellow. Especially if all characters share an atlas. It would kinda suck starting a new character only to get to maps and have to start out doing tier 14's if all the regions were upgraded.

Just a reminder that contagion had its gem level radius removed. I haven't played the build since then, so no idea how much that affects ED/Contagion's ability to chain.

You can get 5 spectres easily as a necro without empower support. I bet 5 with full damage supports > 6 with gimpy empower support.

Yes, I should clarify though my build is a pledge of hands build, so +1 wand isn't an option.

I'm thinking last minute swap to Cobra lash pathfinder, last second.

I was not super big into the swap from deadeye to Elementalist for Burning arrow. sounded like a pita.


Going through this for ideas, mathils going on about how much he liked Cobra lash assassin for a starter. sounded good, and something I haven't played.

Hmm Raider actually looks sorta decent now? May just start scourge arrow again with it unless I've missed a change someplace and it doesn't scale as well as it used to.

Played Cobra Lash pathfinder last league. I liked playing it a lot. However, it didn't work with Blight well at all.
