Entirely different boss and void stone sequence. Entirely different primary influence base type with different functionality. Revamped map zones to be more modernized like poe2s. (Wider layouts, doors less rock obstructions). Rotating out current league mechanics and introducing new ones entirely instead of the "you know this temporary trash mechanic is just getting deleted end of league". They could have totally changed end game by now just by including settler runes and a revamp of se tinel and crucible. But they're gay
>>
i just love sunder SO much more than earthshatter

I feel like the league mechanic will get played out pretty fast and i'm not smart enough to understand the applications of the crafting. Feels like once you've done a few voyages there isn't much more too see, reminds me of incursion in that respect. There's effectively 1 biome. Maybe you get more fun mods at higher tiers
>>
>>575204932
I have work all weekend but I'm keeping an eye out for good DO reliquarians to take inspiration from on monday.
I will probably level it as pconc spiders, possibly chaos slinger if I can solve mana.
I think another possibility is phatasms and breach bloodline and then just playing selfcast lightning spells and getting 100% phys to lightning.
Maybe storm call to take advantage of reduced duration, pacts, vaal stormcall, and super fast lightning warp.
Something else to think about is combining vaal caress and xirgils and just doing vaal ice nova for legion and temple farm.

>>
>>575210980
They also said mobs would rush you from the depths when its over but it's been pretty cushy so far. I guess if people get trucked after a big investment they quit so high stakes stuff has lower threat

It's probably a worse solution but playing the league i thought Vesper / The Allflame should give you an 'oxygen' meter and every lantern you place drains it faster and when it runs out you've got to leave. At the moment its kind of weird because it starts once you place the last lantern but you can't really do anything with the last lantern so functionally just walking about with 1 lantern is the same outcome

it's not a meme. They confirmed streamer queues during that one league launch, and they also confirmed they alter peoples loot seeds at will. The devtools show they can do this. How is it that every league launch these streamers ALWAYS seem to drop T0s on day 1? Just extreme luck? Give me a fucking break. The game is designed to bait you into the MTX store and part of that is pogging out over twitch which is basically free advertisement

I was ready for it to be trash and willing to power through, even if it meant a rough start.

I was not ready for it be absurdly fucking bad to the point where 98% of mercs cannot reasonably clear white packs even in acts, let alone maps with some mods. Even if you spend hours farming the same act zone to get a somewhat decent merc, you will be rewarded with a piece of shit that still cannot kill a rare monster in <10 seconds. Their scaling is just abysmal and dmg penalty is beyond cruel, even perfect mercs with insane gear would be waaay worse than any semi-decent build on 1/10th of a budget.

GGG effectively made mercs the selling point of this league with several merc related vids, pre-cooked builds and new merc based ascendancy, they even made scion available from the start for new players. This highly insinuates that they wanted you to start this build, but feels like they've put exactly 0 seconds into testing how it would actually feel to play without editing perfect high-end gear into every slot. This, along with some other main highlights of the patch (caster buffs my ass), simply feels like misleading and leaves a very bad aftertaste.

But seriously, what's wrong with Lumi?
It feels fine to me. The caveat is that most of them have abysmal AI, but find one with a good skill and no override skills, throw a double-Phys attack speed weapon on them, and they'll do great.
A prime example of override problems:
>Combatant
Can spawn with Static Strike (good skill)
Can spawn with normal Spectral Helix (bad)
Can spawn with both and Spectral Helix has use priority over Static Strike. A Combatant with both skills is automatically bad because he'll use a shit skill.
The fact I can't just turn off the skills I don't want him to use is wild.

The 80% damage penalty shouldn't exist, that's what. This potentially breaks the game when you finally deck out the merc, but so does every other good build so idk why that matters. GGG failing balance as usual.

There's several problems, the first is gear, the second is low level mercs freebie scaling stops in maps and you need to purchase or find a high level merc immediately.

Assassin is so fucking good, bros. I'm just cruising through yellow maps with Ethereal Knives, amazing clear and good enough damage to kill bosses in 3-4 seconds. You get so much damage from Assassin now (80% More dmg from one node) you can just stack life and other defenses on your tree and gear.

I am not sure if some of guys are aware but there is something called alpha realm. Some people, including some of the streamers have alpha access to leagues before the launch. People like ben for example. Why would anyone blindly play anything blindly from people who dont have that kind of access. I dont get it. You are at fault here for randomly picking shit builds.

There is no streamer client.
Instead each player account and character has an associated loot seed that determines how good your drops and crafts are, and how difficult (or if it's even possible) to roll the highest tiers of drops as your own loot.
We got this info from the GGG employee leaks shown their employee dashboard for managing user accounts. We know the loot seed is crucial for high end drops because GGG confirmed anyone caught botting has their seed adjusted to prevent any currency higher than a chaos orb from dropping or from rolling high tier affixes on their crafts.

Please GGG I beg you to add a "Disable MTX in town" option or something like that.

There are big animals, dragons, bongos, huge idle monster and now plague on the ground? Yes, I know you don't see those things on your Hideout after the campaign, but I just want to do a smooth campaign whenever I level a new character. I don't have a bad PC and yet our PCs suffer a lot with all of those unnecesary particles, effects and such things.

Every league is worse than the one before in terms of aesthetic in towns.

If you can't farm T1 maps, your build isn't just shit, it's irredeemable my dude.
Run 'em white. If your only goal is to get some new Mercs, carefully clear up through T3 or T4 Magic rarity, spend all those points getting Merc nodes.
18 points is all you need for +80% Merc spawn chance.
20 points to also pick up Wellspring of Creation to boost your survivability.
Then you can farm T1s to your heart's content.

You can level with Ethereal Knives from Act 1 until red maps

It's so blatant too. They have the promotion for twitch drops and gifting subs. They boost the rates of t0 for streamers you watch to make the game look exciting.

I got to maps with 5k life, a whole 3k more over the usual 2.5k people get there with and flame link was doing fuck all, then I got a merc in t1 maps and it still sucked ass. I was doing more damage with RF than the merc, RF which by the way you cannot sustain after like level 50 with captainretard's tree. Even gooktoo in tradecuckore was having a cunt of a time with the build which is just hilarious. I wanna see captainretard show up with highly suspicious gear day 1 coping

It's a design issue. Chris Wilson said the league launches are designed intentionally to allow only a select few builds to handle atlas completion with minimal investment. That for everything else, they scale it to take days or even weeks to accomplish what the GGG approved starters can do in six hours.
It's a relic from diablo 2, where you would always roll a sorc or pally on ladder start or suffer. It sucks but it is what it is.
Tl;dr stick to what works and don't get baited by idiots who are financially incentivized to bait the masses.

People had an expectation from Mercenary league where the build was actually good even from a fresh start and was used even in gauntlet endgame builds. It was extremely powerful at all stages.

Can you even read? Im using flame link but you shouldnt need flame link to kill white mobs in acts on a 4 link merc skill. Btw even with flame link my RF still does easily 10x the damage my merc does.

Why are defenders of GGG pretending merc tuning is good? Rue literally rerolled after 1 day into a completely new class, if that happens you know the ascendancy is utter trash. There was nothing redeeming in it

All of these ignite builds (pb, reap, hexblast, ek, etc) are essentially the same build with different flavours
The only though i have playing it right now is i should have went with ea ballista. Single target is tangibly painful

Shit, I was gonna do that but I switched off because it sucked cocks in the campaign. I should switch back to it.

so... crab totems?

>>575245274
if you need 10k hp to make your merc deal damage in t1 maps then that ascendancy belongs in the trash
>>
>>575242007
Baited by poo2 releasing a similiar ascendancy but good (for one league anyway)
>>
>>575245274
If you had 400 flat damage on a weapon you would one shot the whole game through acts but 400 flat on a merc and you still need to hold his hand for rare mobs. Nice one.

Buy a 10c bitterdream and you can do t16 maps at level 60 on worb.

You need 60 divines to do t10 maps on luminary.
