In terms of returns? Who knows, price of oils and other blight items will just come down due to more availability.

BOY, I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY


Nope, nothing new to get excited in those notes. They pretty much blew their load in those reworks skills post. Those skills better deliver.

No buffs or nerfs to anything melee related. They must think it is in a good place.

Discharge ignite might be interesting if it weren't for the horrendous 2s cooldown. Why don't more ignite builds use Abberath's Hooves?

Probably the most underwhelming patch notes I've seen in the last few seasons before a league launch. The curse stuff is nice as passive charge generation now though. Poacher's Mark Elder rings are back on the menu!

Y'all are haters, shattering steel looks sick.

I suspect most of the work they've put in to this was all the alternate uniques/gems/basetypes, so a smaller list of actual passive changes seems fine.

What's the complete opposite of VD spellslinger in terms of visual effects cancer, that is a good starter and can carry through into end game? I want to play that. Hit me vets.

Please explain. The skill preview looked average.

Impale Cyclone Champion/Gladiator. One skill kills all. Maybe with some overkill stuff from Punishment it'll clear nice too.

The overkill on a cyclone build is going to be very low, and then you only AE 10% of that. Cyclone's main weakness when clearing is terrible AE size and movement speed. Punishment does not really help with either of those.

It does meet the toned down visual effect requirement however.

ED/Contagion, if you can figure out chaos spellslinger mana reservation issues, is actually visually quite toned down. Both the default and celestial MTX, oddly enough.

Anyone have a build suggestion/link for a one-stop shop for the whole league? Don't have time to roll multiple characters anymore. Iffy on the league anyway so just want to try one build and check it out...

Last I played (2 leagues ago) was a Split Arrow miner which was actually really fun.

Dom blow hop guardian was untouched yet again. It's a cheap league starter and relatively cheap endgame. Not that much visual clutter too. It has a bit of clunk summoning adds on bosses if they despawn in between phases, that was my only negative playing it last league. Even the usual boring summoner stuff doesn't apply because you got whack shit for sustain.

I would play it again but I kinda want to make fireball kitavas thirst work with flame wall.

My main issue with dom blow was that minions kill shit before you get a chance to hit if you're not zooming really fast, so it's somewhat "stressful" for a minion build cause if you stop hitting stuff you start losing minions and then sure you can hit them more easily, but you also have less minions so you're more likely to die. It was otherwise very powerful and you do get more sustain than traditional summoners since you can get life on hit and stuff.

I'm mostly waiting to see these alternate skill gems shit to figure out if I'll bother playing. I'm not too interested in Heist but if they have some interesting quality minion gems I might. Skeleton was somewhat interesting but I don't want to play ranged skeletons either, and zombie felt like a fucking joke so not sure that's gonna happen. I'm also somewhat interested in Salvo but they didn't change shit for elementalist(other than making golems persist through log ins, which admitedly is a big QoL but they need a better way to make golems not die too) and I don't like playing the other classes as much.

Stick with mines, just check on the boards for the latest skills. Last one I played was ball lightning and it was very strong, easily capable of killing everything with zero investment.
