How bad is it gonna be to gear up Conner's MFA whisperer? From what I've seen there's gonna be a lot of people playing it. He's saying it's 20div + indigon to get it into the crazy scaling territory, but if everyone's playing it is that number gonna inflate a lot, and how is it before that point to farm up the currency? I know pretty much nothing about past versions of the build.

If it ends up being a disaster you've at least still league started a ranger with good passive tree placement and access to three ascendancies that can all Lightning Arrow or Lightning Strike things and farm maps.

Think I'll do a sanctum runner surfcaster first character and then gigascale either oshabi or scavenger and try to push voided Valdo boxes or something.

Somehow I have to also fit in the vaal class, all within a month.

Connor has no clue about the economy. Even his entry level "budget" build is fantasy land. He thinks a 240% Widowhail is 20c early.

KB of Clustering will be much easier to gear because a lot of the gear is fairly "easy" to recombinate. The Wands in particular are quite easy because you can use a very cheap scarab to farm the influenced Imbued Wands reliably and just alt spam then recomb for cheap, good entry level versions. The problem is maxing your recombinator so it actually works.

Lmao, yes, he is super out of touch. It's like those ultra rich people who don't know the price of butter or bananas at the grocery store.

another good one he does is "the jewels only have 3 good affixes, so 1c each"

The best part is going to be when he starts doing trade searches for these things and screams into his mic about how stupid people are with their pricing.

I think his budget estimates are from when he was on Anomalous Manaforged Arrows during TotA. Widowhail is far more respected now plus the whole dex stacker/mana stacker thing is going to be meta with Phrecia. After TotA the alt quality gems all went away putting Manaforged on the shelf. Putting these 20d budget (no Indigon) versions of his together in a regular league might be reasonable but I don't want to be trying to scoop up eight rare jewels with dex, mana and all resistances when it's the hot new thing plus there's a second ranger ascendancy with an interest in stacking dex plus Aristocrat as a wildcard.

How much do you think indigons are gonna cost? I've seen people guessing 20-50div for one. With everyone going whisperer, maybe I'll just go blind prophet lightning strike.

Indigon builds are more fun to theorycraft than play.


Ok, that's not fair, most builds are that way. But it's especially true for Indigon.

I was messing around last league with some Warden double tincture setups and while there was some damage to be found there I was forced to admit to myself that I in no way wanted to manage two tinctures from map to map to map.

I haven't played with tinctures since they introduced them. Way too powerful to ignore but can't be eventually automated like flasks. Can't even ghetto automate them with an AHK script thanks to their inherent cooldown nature. Only Warden gets that with the linger mechanic.

Toss it on the clumsy AHK flask macro, hope I remember to press it with the right cadence, and then remind myself why I always league start Pathfinder.

Wasnt planning on doing this event but these ascendancies do look spicy.

some psa
Found out it cost like 500 gold per respec at around 60 (cant remember exactly what level i was) and 733 gold at level 64 so it ramps pretty fast so the sooner you do it the better.
My practice run has like 18k gold at level 64 so can respec around 25 points at this point (dunno what it would be at later levels).
Also you have to do the town stuff if you want faustus to offer the gamble items and currency exchange, i had totally forgotten that (unless it's cause i'm on ssf server?).

That cyclone-tectonic slam build that's making the rounds seems like bait. For league start, probably much better once you can fix the build's abhorrent movement speed.

Probably going Ele BAMA tomorrow. Tad squishy, but that's fixed once you start bringing spectres online.

Never seriously played BAMA, so if there's some mistakes there wrt BAMA or a league start reasonable build, would be appreciated.

Decided on blind prophet LS, not gonna fight over mana and dex gear with half of the players. For anyone else going shadow, this looks like a great leveling plan (cobra lash (clear) + blade trap/viper strike (boss) + entropy from servant of aarakali) then swap to your main build at merc lab.

General's cry is the real deal.

Yea it's a marauder but you just take the 8% bandit and use rage support for a long time and it moves around okay.

Cyclone movespeed scales with quality now and general's cry makes more mirages, so you just go ashes to scale both and probably wear corpse boots for automation and just start zooming.
