[@asluckdespairs]

At the end of the day whether its Elemental Hit or any other build. The goal for everone is right click clear screen and walk

[@SilentButDudley]

Hexblast is very popular rn because people are preparing to boss early for T17s and new Uber drops.

[@voidroad]

Playing in ssf and realizing you need to down t17s for invites and uber bosses... for nerfed ashes. That choice was highly questionable

[@riktorGaming]

also, moving ashes to Uber Eater makes Eater completely useless, it was already frustrating to kill this boss because you ended up empyrean handed 99% of the time but you still kept high hopes for the good drop, now you only have forbidden jewels which have so much variety that the chance of coming empyrean handed is pretty much 100% unless you're running 500 invitations with insane quant.

[@ArawnOfAnnwn]

@@voidroad Ashes isn't the only uber boss drop you can get. Some of the others are very powerful, and valuable.

[@voidroad]

@@ArawnOfAnnwn its ashes that ot removed from normal drop pool. Having to farm uber for nimis is understandable. Having to farm uber for ashes is a joke especially nerfed ashes

[@TristianTee]

I'm really enjoying the ele hit wander build that I made. Found your channel while researching for it. I went assassin and am power stacking which feels good. Still only in red maps though. Played around with bows but you're so right, the projectile looks so much better with wands.

[@nothingface5919]

Just been running Blink Arrow Of Bombarding Clones and mopping up the atlas. It flattens everything pretty quick.

[@pozytywniezakrecony151]

I got to t16s bosses and then kind of missing dps for ultra juice or tankiness hmpf

[@_snake__4117]

Last league played palsteron hexblast, it was so smooth, got all the high end gear, and just farm until I can get a 800+div tornado shot gear, then I finally stop playing it.

[@zakrunooingorah4221]

Enjoying cyclone of tumult this league, might make another character and try out some glad shenanigans.

[@joebrunson9816]

I'm running Soulwrest/srs build. With Devouring Diadem, my spooks keep themselves up without any real work on my part and skele's and desecrate cwc on my cyclone, I'm doing great. Currently Inquisitor but I didn't really check the patch notes on Necro, Imma probably reroll him into Necromancer for that leech.

[@Kaizuker]

Gotta love that not one of these is melee strike but melee will absolutely catch another nerf next patch lmao

[@runfonkey]

Excellent summary! Nice insight into the state of the game. Love the notes and the links! Your latest videos have been great!

[@brandonkruse6412]

Since they buffed Necro minion leech, I can safely say with instant leech mastery, you will feel immortal with something like pSRS.

[@contrakt666]

the leech is bugged rn. it leeches way to little. also the instant leech mastery does not work with it rn so its not worth taking. especially not on pSRS since u dont scalre that much hit dmg. its great for suistain overall but the biggest issue i have with necro is not having that much pysical mitigation.

[@fhaley494]

They fixed that in the last patch ​@@contrakt666

[@kra5h]

@@contrakt666that was fixed yesterday. Can confirm it works great

[@samuryebread1065]

Ive been runnin poison ranged aw lol

[@jragon355]

@@contrakt666no it works now

[@robosing225]

You doing the Asmon build with the plushie in the background?

[@chidori0117]

Having played all three versions of icenova/frostbolt (selfcast, arcanist brand and kitava) I would say Kitavas Thirst is bait. It has sometimes problems with activation and seemingly always picks the worst time to malfunction. Its not an issue for 95% of the time but the remaining 5% made me stop using it real fast. With a bit of cast speed I would say self cast is the best for mapping (without returning projectiles) while arcanist brand is better for bosses.

[@IamThePro78]

I skipped on taking elemental hit of the spectrum yesterday in uber 🤦‍♂️

[@ggslushy]

I didn't know Hexblast is meta. I play it because I never played a mine build and everyone said it can do basically anything so I thought this is the best time to try it out since the league mechanic can be difficult.

[@jugaming3808]

Seems way more popular this league for some reason but ya it can definitely do everything. Occultist is better at mapping, sab or trickster is better for like t17s and whatnot and assassin is better for uber bossing.

[@EsteemedBeansTV]

I tried mines for first time with crouching tunas trickster exsanguation. No regrets tons of fun!

Dude I love that you are using Obsidian

[@steadychasingmoneybands6213]

frostblink used to be so good on left click... rip

[@Dizzinator2114]

ive been playing dd, but I want to reroll to something else i just do not know what

[@crazy-tommy]

It always surprises me how different this is compared to SSF. Hexblast as most popular trade league skill isn't even top 25 in SSF.

[@jugaming3808]

Because hexblast needs curse on hit. Kinda hard to find in ssf.

[@voidroad]

​@@jugaming3808 i dont think that is the issue. You can easily play pyroclast till you get the ting its like t3 its not rare Its that you want sandstorm

[@KAJYT6969]

have fun delving to find curse on hit or corrupting unique gloves

[@divinityai]

unique heavy build is not popular in SSF. Why is that? And also farming sanctum for divines isn't the best time spent in ssf, you need gear anyway. In trade it is perfectly viable.

[@Thelius42]

I'm having a blast with the subtractem frostblink fire trap ele build. Sanctum is boring to do just because it's optimal. Don't understand the rush to have hundreds of divines the first week

[@bennym1956]

subtractem's guide only went to end of Act 10 and then he didn't update the guide for maps and the changes he made fro them. Left me hanging..... He said he did an update video but he went thru it so fast, you didn't see all his changes.

[@Thelius42]

@@bennym1956 it went further than that. Also he posted update pobs and the build is not too complicated

[@Thelius42]

@@bennym1956 fwiw I haven't played all that much and have had crap luck with drops so far but am comfortably doing red maps on a 4 link

[@wasdwasd609]

I'm on my 7th character man. I'm so burned but I just cant find a build I like that's also good zzzzz

[@Turk_]

every league I get through the campaign, run maps for about 15 hours, get no currency and quit. I really don't understand how people get currency in the game, they literally go from trash to a mirror while I sleep.

[@pozytywniezakrecony151]

few days 4h a day with good build to get atlas then switch or not build for few more days and farm strat but they often do it in party and most people solo. Also i had few days delay in league start and then just 2-3h tops to play.

[@ishouldtestit8904]

100% me every league xD

[@JustWolt]

I don't get how you can't get currency. You can literally pick pretty much any combination of league atlas tree passives and make good money, throw in some scarabs if you desire. Every map you get corpses, those sell too.

[@clawbergable]

Should be noted that CoC DD of chain reaction was made by Gryph last league (Gryph is the master mind behind the old Phantasmal Cremation build) and I started with kitava ice nova of frostbolt before everyone else.

[@Genemesis]

Gotta say, the meta is pretty boring.

[@ClearlyVague1]

Extremely

[@anyfourwordphrase42]

Yeah. They need to buff melee

[@came4861]

i miss carrion golems

[@YahMum69]

Extremely

[@divinityai]

kitava's version is more clunkier, because it's 50% chance to cast... even with 4 casts per second it's not good. Imo goratha version is best of all.

[@dont_care1591]

No

Not at all the Meta just the popular crap put out by build thieving streamers🙄 and not a single mention of the strongest build in the current meta DD of chain reactions chieftain the enemy hp% damage scaling T17 speed farmer.......smfh who listens to this nonsense
