How is ssf going for u guys/girls? ^^

It just dropped

So I did play a bit more. First little recomb: Tree not good for dotmult I think.


Want to switch away from Bouncing due to its limitations (kills weapon slot and need the flasks). Mechanically the skill is good though.

Current best candidates #2: Explosive Trap Poison. Have gear:


Current best candidates #1: Kinetic Fusillade Poison Ballista. Just did some testing and the skill seems to be "asking for a nerf" kind of powerful. Dont properly understand yet how it works with totems though. And the build kind of wants at least 6 support gems, some sacrifice will have to be made.

@UP
Nice ideas go for it.

Just entered Act 10



and this

Firsts of its kind



Also new weapon


New uniqs

Played in Uber boss kill race.
Kind of wanted to do Energy Blade Ghostwrithe Battlemage/Spellblade Inquisitor. But failed to come up with something which did enough DPS without compromising survival.
Played Poison BAMA Ascendant instead. Early on blundered several times. First blunder was ending up with having to continue with normal attack after Hillock due to messing up - sold all the gear for wisdoms to buy other gear/gem. Didnt notice that the bow only had red sockets which misfits 'Caustic Arrow'...
Overall didnt get far enough, race is "officially" over now. Build was too ambitious in terms of gear, recomb is expensive now, didnt properly consider that.

Biggest problem which I had is lag (near screen freezes) if there are lots of monsters around. Had to diss Rampage which would have been very helpful for this build, it was particularly bad with the Rampage events. The game engine somehow deadlocks itself, there is some fatal programming screwup. There also seems to be the problem that sometimes servers participate in the lagging, usually based on graphs CPU seemed to be the bottleneck though. Anyway I had to limit gameplay alot to try to deal with this. Also not sure why it was worse here than before in the league. Either some patch did some bad or it may have to do with the build. The build having lots Minions (47 or so) may be an issue.
The behavior is so that it plays smooth if there are just so-so many monsters. And if the critical limit (or whatever) is passed it turns into near-zero fps. It will then get "stuck" at this near-zero fps, moving away from the offending place/s far enough can get it "unstuck". And in some environments its worse than in others.

Current gear:


Pieces missing parts (quiver & Ghastlies):


Some drops/fruits which may be interesting after migration:

20 dropped from tree.



And could anyone explein to me what is this?

IMO a failed/bloat game feature. My guess is that the intention was good: Make it so that the gear on the ground isnt all trash. The biggest issue here is that the game drops too much. Its not possible to distinct trash from not-trash even if some of it is not-trash. This would fix/banaid it somewhat if they would have done it properly. But IME its mostly just a new type of trash on the floor. It can be useful for advanced crafting. But in SSF for most players in this league with OP tree - I dont think there is much point to these items. And even in trade league the respective orbs are very cheap suggesting low demand for more advanced crafting.

So I did start Ghostwrithe Energy Blade Spellblade/Battlemage Inquisitor that I had been thinking for event. Build is working so far, Im in (easy rolled) T12 maps now. Mapping suffers a bit from the delayed damage issue with Penance Brand of Dissipation. Unfortunately this is made worse by the (gfx) lagginess issues I have. Defense missions (Fortress or in map) however almost never cause issues, its mostly the opening Breach type missions.


And I dropped a Mageblood during mapping, no or low juice used:

THX for reply.

New shieeet.



Also new chest:


Usable.
