Post the tldr form ya'lls going over the builds after you done. I'd be curious to see what non-streamer poopsockers have to say about starting builds ect.

They do boring shit but its always whatever is most efficient. Like the dudes who raced to 100 almost all went scion wanders. Fyndel and the dudes who kill bosses have used elemental conversion Blade Flurry since it was released.

I'm still thinking crit totem heiro (prob spark for clearing swap LT for bosses) into whatever ends up being T0 meta. Seems like we'll have a good number of T0 options this league. GC / TS trickster may be it.

Deadeye and Assassin for Scion wander? 3.1 Pathfinder seems better. And 3.2 Deadeye seems better than both.


Completely different topic: assuming you want Scion Slayer for a 1H melee attack build because the leech is really nice. I almost always pair slayer with raider but maybe that's not the best anymore. What would other people use, assuming a mostly elemental damage type?

No idea why but they level multiple of the same toons and builds to 100, they play at breakneck speeds. Its honestly hard for me to do anything but keep up with the top groups when theyre doing poorjoys or whatever to 100.

This is by far the best player I know and one of our officers, I know he for sure wander'd to 100 last league. You can probably just check his profile and see what and why if he hasn't liquidated all of it. People loan each other gear a lot in PoE guilds, like daily so he might be stripped. Cant see it at work so just in case.

Interdasting, his wander was pathfinder/slayer. I edited the response you quoted, the slayer question was for 1H melee attack builds, wasn't related to wanders. I've assumed wanders wouldn't need slayer leech(I've never really felt so myself when playing them), so I'm surprised he picked it up. On top of that, the pathfinder ascendancy seems kinda week.

It's just churning maps, right? Or was he killing hard content too? Slayer leech would make more sense in the latter case. I don't really have any plans to do hard content on my wander, just doesn't have the movement tools that I'd prefer.

I watch zizz do this stuff with his group and oh man it just seems like such a boring way to play, sort of like the money changers (but I guess a lot of em are botting). This is my favorite game ever and I love poop socking it but I also get the most enjoyment just sort of playing as intended. I am glad for the money changers though cause it does make life so much easier for all the plebs like me with the pooling and access to currency dropping prices of pretty much everything across the board. I know a couple weeks ago there was a discussion about how it seems so much easier to get 6 links and lvl 21 jewels ect ect, something impossible a year or two ago for most people, I have a feeling the money changers bringing stability and efficiency to the markets has a lot to do with it.

Wonder if they left in Oni, if they did, might not be a bad starter other than farming it up first. But once you have it, it can carry your ass to T13-15 without even spending a point in dmg.

If anyone needs help with builds or has questions don't hesitate to PM me, going to spend all Thursday night in Discord with my guild going over builds after the patch notes. If you just have a skill you like I can recommend a build or make one really quick for you also.

Pasteton Pasteton This guy is semi brain damaged but his builds are good and align to what you kind of posted. You can swap to reave for mapping and use BF to clear every boss in the game np - Forum - Scion - [3.1] BloodMoonFlurry High-DPS,Freeze/Stun Immune,Inc. Hardcore Version(Elder/Shaper/Guardians/Uber) - Path of Exile

Korrupt Korrupt thanks illl check it out. I’m not really focused on a specific ability as I am QoL. Cheap builds that aren’t super meta and expensive and that are relatively low brainpower, like I don’t have to worry about most map mods like reflect or curses, and have a few slots that I can equip shit gear for mf. They don’t have to be crazy fast map clearing mods, but I do like builds that let me kill bosses relatively safely. Scion dark pact totems accomplished all that for me so I may go with that again, or depending on my rng with drops or any of ur suggestions , I may try some scion Slayer and/or elem build if it’s also relatively mindless.

If you get reflect, reroll the map. You should be able to handle most curses with a stibnite flask of warding.

Jugg tectonic strike looks appealing for brain dead starter, but it's going to SUPER meta.

Maps rushing 100 mainly but he kills map bosses. Anyone going past 96ish almost always uses a support class when leveling so map bosses are np. If there isnt support available in guild they will filter the games ladder by support builds and message them 1 by 1 until they find someone.

Kiroy Kiroy I hate that breakneck speed, it isnt fun for me either. I only group with that kind of group when I want to push to 100 and not waste time. Its much easier to grind 98-100 in those young pro's groups in less than 2 days which would take me alone like a week.

Ya I never push past 95 and I hate group play in POE. Love going fast solo though, feels good.

hmm, is Hegemony's Era super rare or anything? I've never used it.

No and it's usually cheap, especially early in a league. Might change this league if someone popular makes a build using it but I got mine fairly early into Abyss league for like 10-15c for a well rolled one.


I hate group play too. Even master rotations trigger me (especially zana, but tora/vorici/catarina too).

I got three

Increased map drops
Increased map density
Burning comeback

I dont expect map drops. One because GGG has always been hesitant to increase map drops, two because theres nothing wrong with them currently. I do expect density changes though as they said they would be adjusting them for a couple leagues after 3.1

Yeah I dunno, I didn't get to red maps in abyss to see how the rate was. I sustained red maps fine in previous league after I got most of atlas completed. By sustaining red maps I mean I could literally run only t14+ maps and never run out. All I know is filling out the atlas now that it has over 9000 maps is more shit than it was before.

Density by itself would increase map drops even if they don't change the numbers on rate.

Sustaining red maps with properly rolled / chiseled maps has been perfectly balanced up until last league where they completely fucked it up. It was just not fun having to trade for maps and they are always fun focused with their updates.

Last league the only way to maintain reds was sextent blocking and that was a whole nother level of trading / economic hell.
