Not sure if this has been answered but would this be a good league starter and if so what would gear recommendations be before we have currency to get the core items?

Also was wondering how much of a difference is it to go cold point dagger and cyclone vs EE with ball of lightning?

Been looking for a laid back tanky build that I dont need to micromanage and still feel useful without having to spend a stupid amount of exalts that i never get lol.

Really hard to predict how easy it is to get Memory Vault and Shaper's Touch next league. Definitely not a race the first 72 hours build, even in the current state.

Good morning all..I was away from poe in the past 2 leagues and have 1-2 questions.:)

Back in legion i was using storm brand as poison setup..
what are the advantages of ball lightning vs storm brand?
Cause with storm brand it felt rather safe to just put on the spell and then move around to avoid incoming damage.

Also i see many ppl using woc/oos to level up templars.
How faster that would be than just try to level up using the crawler instead..

Thx a lot in advance

I have not tried using storm brand myself for some while, but as far as I remember it has less hits per second. Ball lightning strikes targets around it fairly often while it travels and the balls overlap. This makes it easier to stay at max stacks for crawler.

Last templar I leveled I went with Lightning Tendrils from 1 to 12, swapped to Storm Burst until I got ball lightning at 28. Combined with oos it was pretty smooth sailing. I was using a tabula tho, so not sure how hard it carries in a league start

If general minions don't get gutted this league, this might actually be a solid league starter build for anyone who wants to build a stupid easy boss-killer but doesn't wanna have to start some other cheap farming build first. I've got a test passive tree that should theoretically be pretty solid at clearing low/mid-tier maps on garbage gear, then cost almost nothing to respec into this build when you can get the required uniques for it. (Goal is to need as few regret orbs as possible, maybe even be able to respec just with the points you can get from story missions.)

Currently steamrolled everything up to act 3 completely SSF, thanks to Skeletons + Infernal Legion + Minion Instability. Gonna try and get into maps over the next two or three days.

My main concern is how survivability is going to be, as I didn't have space to add much life without making it hard to respec. Current solution is to level as life/ES hybrid because CI in SSF isn't ideal.

Y'all let me know if you want updates on how it goes!

Alright, so as long as they don't obliterate minions in 3.9 this will be a damn solid league starter. Leveled up to 65, got 3/4 labs done, and killed A10 Kitava in roughly 6 hours. Hitting maps with 2.8k life and 3k ES and barely capped resists with Purity of Elements.

Here's a PoB snapshot of the character at this point. https://pastebin.com/8DGG0KuH
It's worth noting that I'm using LocalIdentity's PoB fork, so if it doesn't import properly that's probably why.
