Man, I think the combination of the map tree and no more map regions/conquerors is going to pull me back in. It helps that the league mechanic is easily skippable.
Fuck.
Fuck.
They constantly nerfed golems but pretty sure Carrion and Stone golems are still a thing. Ele golems are kinda dead, they nerfed them a bunch and then they removed EE too. I think there's some unique chest you can use to ignore resists entirely which would make them ok but that has several issues, but phys golems are still fine. Ghazzy had a video last league for carrionAny good golem builds still viable? I know the massacred my boys, the flamegolems.
I last played this 3.14 and my recollection was that it was squishy. But after that, yeah, the single target sucked. I'm not really sure how far I want to take it.I played a Trickster WORB and maybe an Occultist WORBer a few leagues ago after they fell out of fashion. Clears really well for sure, but single target fell off pretty badly. A common way to fix that if you need it (I see you just want a start that's cheap and can get some Atlas progression) but if you find yourself having single target problems, just throw in a CWC with Ice Spear for some extra oomph.
Did spectral shield throw get dumpstered?
Yeah. That never interested me.Yes.
Spectral Helix is fine but it's a different kind of thing.
So did Rage Vortex end up DOA? I don’t recall any other “melee” skills being added the past few leagues. Did spectral shield throw get dumpstered?
Actually I wouldn’t mind a cold converted spectral helix. Might dig around on it.
Claw Spectral Helix has been solid+++ since it's release. The life gain on hit from claws makes you pretty tanky as long as you can take one hit. Clear can be somewhat shitty unless you get a good herald of ice popping going, but it's a very good build and definitely cheap. Can just essence spam some claws or harvest blast them and find some that will last you to endgame very easily until you want some 10ex+ upgrades.
