The top .5% or whatever of players have wealth such that 5 mirrors isn't that big of a deal and they'd want to own it just because it's the literal best possible thicket bow. That combination of affixes on a blue item doesn't even exist in standard that I am aware of.

Well, I learned something about crafting. Locking prefix and scouring with 1 prefix creates a blue item again. I should have annulled it and the prefix would have been good. My heart sank and I went into tilt mode then bricked it like an idiot. Sold the 30% base because it was ilvl 87 and that anything past 83 opens 5 junk mods.

I crafted my one item this league. I may get brave and craft me a pair of boots or helm and call it good for the league. Big time crafting heh.

I did exactly that in week 1 when I got a dictator's blue jewelled foil. Ended up bricking it.

Crafting is pretty fickle unfortunately. I'm like ~6-7ex worth of alterations in to foils so far and cannot come up with anything even close to worth multimodding yet. Coulda just bought a damge ~450dps weapon at this point lol.

I have used so many fucking alts trying to hit dictators. The one time I did I decided I didn't want to buy the imprint and annuled it right off. Spent way too many alts trying to get assasins mark ring as well.

Mathil's current build is probably hitting the market harder than its ever have. Shaped Thicket bows over ilvl 80... worth an ex or more than now.

But jesus his current build looks damn awesome lol.

I almost wanna make it right now but god damn the first time possible.

So, he's playing CoC magma orb? Has anything changed since 3.5 that would affect that? How does this differ from sire of shards or cwc magma orb? I was trying magma orb a bit while leveling and didn't like the dead zone near you.

I bailed on blitz ultimately. The stacks are pretty quick to fall off, but mainly the attack speed was pretty redundant for cyclone and the huge negative crit chance was actually a problem for me since my weapons have no local crit bonus.

Wasn't it soul-crushing?

I decided to try chaos spamming this league and I've had insane luck with AM rings. I've spent 350c and I've gotten 4 AM rings worth 1-4ex and a few caster rings with spell dmg and LGOSH worth 1ex.

I've been experimenting with 2H Cyclone and trying to get the most of the Vaal jewel that gives you 20% of max life as ES. This is not a new idea but I haven't seen it discretely published anywhere(not that I'm looking...). If anyone is interested, I'll post my PoB. This is the character

I'm able to push over 9k EHP with the build while maintaining a pretty high Shaper dps.

Nope. You get it stacked to 20 pretty darn quick even if you lose the stack.

Going to try it out. I took it after second lab but at that low a level there was no way to keep stacks and when they fell off it took forever to ramp back up. I switched to the rage nodes and it feels pretty insane at 50 stacks plus berserk is a straight I win button but I want that sweet sweet attack speed.

Blitz I took during uber lab cause it definitely requires some decent gear to keep your crit chance high enough. But it doesn't need to be too high; you're gonna be swinging like 20+ times per second with multistrike and only one of those needs to crit to maintain your stacks.

I’m interested. I’m doing a similar build outside of the vaal gem.
