New setup is finished, expect pretty much an entirely new build that fits the purpose of a beginner build much better. Now it's just up to survive patch notes.

Also, would anyone be interested in a small preview video of what's to come, minus potential patch notes changes?

Absolutely! My daughter and I are planning on playing a two-person team in the new league, and she fell in love with your build when we first started playing a few weeks ago. Anything that will help get her a little more excited to play would be awesome, and I love that it might be even more beginner-friendly!

Sure. Or some details. :-)

Hello Enki!
An "agnerod north" is good for this build?

Hell yes!!

I wonder if it's still an elementalist.

Looks like it will be necromancer

Yeah. I am watching the videos on twitch now. Not a huge fan of playing necro for a self cast character. I assume it gives solid defenses thrugh the offerings and corpse related buffa, but still. It's also sad. Elementalist is in such a sorry state that you have to go necro with your ele caster to make it somewhat viable.

I might still consider using it as a first character because I wanna try SSF and I am too lazy/inexperienced to plan my own starter for that. Surely it will carry me into yellow/early red maps until I come up with another idea.

Looking forward to the updates. And patch notes.

why choose spell echo not unleash?

Some interesting quotes from the Development Manifesto... waiting for patch notes

The Necromancer's Corpse Pact notable now has a maximum of 200% increased attack and cast speed from consuming corpses, as it was possible to get the value to self-scale to problematic numbers using Arcanist Brand.

Critical Strike Multiplier values have been lowered from almost every passive, as well as from some items. Critical-based characters far-exceeded non-critical characters later in the game; this will bring the two a little closer together.

Archmage support provided too significant a power increase for builds when built around very heavily. We've made changes to bring it more in line with other builds, while still noting that it's going to be a huge source of power for mana-invested builds. It now provides less added lightning damage based on mana spent than it did before, down to 108% of mana cost at level 20 of the gem.

The Shakari Pantheon has had its modifiers changed to halve the duration of Poison on you, and prevent you being poisoned while you have at least 5 poison effects on you. This pantheon power trivialised a mechanic that was the core of one of the four major Guardians of the current end-game, and prevented poison being a threatening mechanic to any character.
