Another noob question. What is the deal with the tarot cards? Why lock prophecies?

Diviniation cards? You collect a set and then turn them in for an item, normally hinted at in the description. You trade them in at Highgate. The guy up the ramp from the waypoint by himself. They'll say how many you need to make a set. 1/6 or whatever to make a set of 6 to turn in. Some are "ok" some are downright mega expensive. The higher/harder the zone the more rewarding the cards. I assume that's why you mean by tarot cards.

Divination card

You can seal a prophecy so that you can sell whatever it makes, like an enchantment or whatever. That's all I know, never done it. I think it turns it into an item you get in your inventory but I'm not sure.

Can also seal shit prophecies that you're never going to do just to get rid of them. Otherwise they take up a slot forever.

I'm still a newb at this game, even after playing a lot last season. What's a good build to start the Abyssal League? I was thinking about Gladiator Sunder but there are a ton of guides out there.

If you want to do sunder just google Alkaizer Sunder build.

Thanks! I saw in the comments someone made a PoB link for it. I'll take a look. Videos are rough for builds because I have a hard time referring back to them as I am playing.

Alkaizer doesn't do the best guides, but his builds are solid. I tried both of his cleave and sunder builds, switching to sunder at 80. I found the sunder build more to my liking, a lot easier to gear and path, and had much better area than cleave, which is no surprise to anyone.

On that note, stack a ridiculous amount of attack speed and leap slam ain't that bad.

EE's builds are excellent. He made the Ngamahu one I was talking about yesterday, and barring some major changes in the patch notes I still have no idea how I'm going to top that build in the next league without increasing the cost by at least double. I'm planning on using his juggernaut as my uberlab farming starter too unless I come across something equally tanky and cheap but with a lot more dps.

Its to early to go looking for builds for Abyss. Always wait for patch notes to be released before you go looking. As an example, you suggested Sunder but its a skill that has been begging for a nerf for 2-3 leagues now. Right now everyone will suggest the meta builds from the last league, many of which will probably be nerfed in some way in a couple days.

Someone on reddit posted you'll be able to trade divination cards into Navali in your hideout next league. Neat.

Been noticing some streamers playing self cast dark pact without their health bars budging. How you do this?

No Vaal Pact + life leech gem or warlords aura. I'm actually practicing in Mayhem for abyss with Dark Pact in case my other option gets nerfed. Doing a trickster version for the cast speed multiplier and charges and its really strong. For sure if my main build gets nerfed for abyss im going DP.

Still, wouldn't you see it moving quickly?
