The only times I ever killed Sirius (first time was A5 no less, forgot to take out watchstone) is with this build, as well as a reliable killer for Catarina. The more I talk with you guys the more I lean to start with this!

Again the only bad thing is my finger(s) get numb holding down incinerate all the time, versus something like totems where I just drop them periodically. Do you guys have this issue?

1) I have not yet decided whether to league start with this or not. I love having most of the gear ready when I get to maps so I may use this as my second build and use another league starter. With the patchnotes out so early, we may get a lot of choices to league start with.


2) I don't have that problem. My fingers hurt more when I click than when I hold a button down. Have you tried to move the key for incinerate to some where maybe more comfortable like the space bar?

hmm, thanks for the suggestion, Ill keep it in mind!

My other usual starter is a totem build. With forbidden rites totem nerfed to death, maybe totem gear won't be so expensive in 3.16, and I can use divine ire again (its MTX is so shiny!)

Ugh Sirgog just had a video about how good skin of lords is, all I can hear is the cha-ching cha-ching as the price go up :D

Yeah, I think it will be uber expensive.

Although like Delve, there will be a lot more people running Breech this league than ever before. I am hoping that means that Skin of the Loyal will be abundant in a week or so and then maybe we can just try and gamble ourselves by buying a cheaper Loyal and using a blessing on it to see if we can get a useful Lords.

Buying a good Lords straight up is probably going to be out of my price range for a long long time.

But to be fair, the Lords is suppose to be our GG end game armor and expecting to have it while just doing basic maps is probably unrealistic.

One thing that occurred to me is that the league mechanic favors a speed map clearer (which Chris Wilson said himself), which this build is not. I am not familiar with breach but I think that's the same thing, right? You have to keep racing to reach the breach's end? Might be a good delver though

I agree, this is not a top tier clearer but Infernal Cry is a game changer for our build's clearing speed once you understand how to maximize it.

I go from screen to screen, position myself and blow up the entire screen and move on. It works wonderfully. In fact the more dense the monsters, the better it works, which should be nice for scourge.

The only downside was the nerf to Second Wind last league.

I don't typically run a ton of breachstones but I have never had a problem in them with this build. The huge density of monsters in them really help us clear because of the chaining effect of Infernal Cry.

We are far from zoom zoom, but our boots give us just enough speed to make it work.

I switch the Anoint on the Bootes for Swagger Notable for the 15% chance to get frenzy charges on block.

This is with 3 frenzys round about 850k more dps

Oh that is really interesting, especially when we will have SO MUCH armor already in 3.16.

Swagger still gives us the endurance charges so we are just trading armor for damage....

I assume keeping frenzy up while mapping is extremely easy. How is it against bosses though?

This is also one of those easy to try out and just switch if you don't like.

I think this may make some sense with the armor changes in 3.16.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Oh good idea, frenzy and endurance on block! Frenzy would give more cast speed too, great for incinerate

I asked reddit about if the inquisitor buff of +50% effect of consecrated ground affects a bunch of other stuff (like gifts from above, zealtory watcher eye increased taken damage on consecrated ground), and a guy replied those others have consecrated ground as a condition, but the benefits are not from consecrated ground itself, so no extra benefit. His answer makes sense to me, so inquisitor buff just means:

7.5% life/ES regen (consecrated ground went from 6 to 5% life regen)

75% reduced curse effect (they added 50% reduced curse effect to consecrated ground itself)

Monster takes 7.5% increased damage from Sanctuary node.

So a nice buff, but probably not enough to make inquisitor overtake elementalist. The curse immunity (if you add Asylum) is nice though.

ok we now have the masteries!!!!!

Lots of interesting choices. While waiting for POB to update, here are the ones that may be of interest to us (and should be in our pathing range.)

The ones I marked for "see below" are for the reservations of determination and discipline. If taking these allow us to use a non level 4 enlighten, they could be a nice stop gap until we can afford the level 4 enlighten.
