Question about rerolling for the more experienced players. Typically I reroll from my league start too early and basically level up another league starter and never get to endgame because it takes so long to gear up and level gems etc. This league I think I’m going to stick with my league starter until I have about 50 ex. That way when I hit level 70 I can buy a full set of endgame gear and with level 21/20 gems and try to knock out some bosses. Is that what you guys typically do?
Whatever you do, do the opposite of me.

Roll an easy, established build you don't completely hate. A lot of slammers/spectres/cycloners are a great way to start because you can get to red maps easily on self-found gear then juice up if you need to for big bossing etc (spectres may be weaker for true bossing). Then you basically play that character until you either get some item that is amazing for your next build or you have enough currency to start.

Do NOT start with an experimental build or a new skill. You'll regret it. I do it 1/2 the leagues and it almost always backfires into about deep yellow/early red maps. A lot of people do this and when they don't know the tricks and tips to maximize their build get frustrated and quit. Going ezmode to build out your early currency and your map pool/Atlas is definitely the smart play.

day 2 in league you'll see a lot of builds that have to be easy to gear and solid or they wont be at the top of the ladder this early. their staying power is questionable though as more gear becomes available.

u can go out to day4-5 too for more options. i wouldknt go too far beyond as then some builds will be using expensive shit

Darn, they nerfed worm blaster. Don't know if it's still feasible.

lul, double nerfed. Saw the "bug" fix to Mother's Belt and thought it was maybe still feasible. Change to Null's Inclination definitely kills it. Hope someone comes up with some crazy new shit this league, don't got anything now.

Brutality looks like it can support spells now. New phys dots looking pretty spicy.

It's always supported spells, just not damage over time. And 95% of the time the phys spells you used it with were better off being converted at some level or using poison with it. I had a CI Assassin that was pure phys with like lvl 31 blade vortex a few leagues back and he used Brutality. It's a massive damage boost on a singular gem, but not nearly as good as added damage or conversion with other stuffs.

Compared to how well other ascendencies support "archetypes," the new physical spells have such halfass support amongst the typical pure phys ascendencies.
