Do you have other suggestions? As in, I tried to stire away from custom tress that require 30 regrets (since we won't have them at level 66). If the only thing is Minion Instability, I can fix that of course. (haven't even thought about it TBH)

Once we get Discord, I could reach out if it's fine for you, so we make a better one.


Not really. I don't try to be fancy about leveling. The thing about SRS is that you only need minion instability and a 4-link. That's it. No more brain activity required. No items, no tree planning, nothing. I'll just wait till you two figure things out xD

Discord is made, feel free to ruin it, but don't forget that I am your god and everything I say is absolute undisputable truth and everything I do and say goes!

Here you go, the PoB for the - in my opinion - optimal leveling:

Few things I wanna say before we start a new league.

For new players
Spoiler
This build is not very new-player-friendly, but forums/discord will help you. Hidden mechanics, Animate guardian, specters... Read everything that is in guide, I mean everything. Keep up with news post and feel free to ask question on forums or discord. We will try to help you!


For players that want to try out this build anyway
Spoiler
What this build can offer:
- Does all content. If there is something in the game you want to try but never did – this build can do it.
- Has a ceiling. Unlike builds that you can invest divines upon divines this build has an end point.
- Something new for you to try. Build has silly and unique playstyle. The meta didn’t change so if you want something new – this is for you.
- One build per league players can enjoy this. I play it as one build per league – can upgrade and min max it for a while, lots of space for fine tuning to your own needs at the end. As well as explore the depth of mechanics.
- Beware of plateau in red maps – you will hit it in way wat or another – get upgrades. There will be a moment around t14-16 where build start to fall behind.
- If you don’t like it – you can reroll into Occultist or Elementalist. But please make sure you looked at vids to confirm this is how you want to play. Occultist or Elementalist both have strond and fun build in case this one fails you.
- Ask questions on forums/discord, not in game! Im am not your personal wiki page.
- You can ask me to share specters in game
- Keep an eye on news post – gonna post updates on my own progress (if I will even play)


How to read PoB
Spoiler


My plans for a league
Spoiler
Starting day 0 as usual
Casual run with SRS leveling – so gonna be behind our big boys over here
Atlas strategy – not sure yes. Leaning towards expedition – but everyone gonna be doing it. Harvest + deli orb farm seems much more lucrative but need initial moneys to not feel sucky. After that – breach+legion, maybe keep harvest for rerolls or deli for orbs.
Initial map tree
Pathing to expedition

Updates and experiments on a build
Want to explore 3 directions – curse effect stacking, brittle(ailment) effect stacking, max suppress + enfeeble (and maybe try ES again), explore using 2h staff to trigger 3 offering maybe (bad idea)


Oh yeah, and we also have discord now. Feel free to join if you have any questions.

Hope you all whave a wonderful league start and will have tons of fun this league!
As a 10 year vet who has done... soooo many builds, this is a new one. Looking forward to league starting and playing for a long while.

With so many games out and coming out I might actually run only a single toon.
Sorry for not posting here for a while, but most activity now happens in discord...

Discord is killing this build! HELP.
Anyway!

THE ROAD SO FAR


So for me this league start was rather successful even if a bit slow. Leveled with SRS casually, as I always do, but didn’t rush and it took me about 8-9 hours to finish the whole thing.

People who used Vennto’s Absolution for leveling report the smooth leveling experience, so defiantly check that out (in leveling section). Thanks Vennto!

Switched to relics and flicker pretty early, around BA and after beating Kitava made a full switch to relics.

act 9 https://pobb.in/Pve6Zx986KWO
kitava done - full relics now https://pobb.in/Sg7ocMSkcJKP


After that I instantly rushed into unlocking maps. Was a smooth ride in white yellows.

The league was super stingy for currency for me. 0 big drops, 0 divines. So I had to crawl my way out of poverty in a hard way. For me it was by farming expedition, but even my guy Tujen didn’t help me much – almost no chaos orbs for sale, 0 divines or anything good.

Early progression
But eventually I saved enough chaos orbs to buy first upgrade - +1 levels Tabula.

And then later on a bit more money to buy Asenath. From there is was smooth sale up to quest bosses, that were tickled to death with low DPS.

T11-T16 were hard. I decided to push on anyway, despite being massively undergeared. I don’t think you should ever do that because build would feel terrible to play like that. This is so called ‘plateau’ I keep mentioning. On other if you do push to T14-T16s there is A LOT of loot there.

The gear by that time - https://pobb.in/7QJP2JxHWjjD


I did, got a bit lucky, instantly made a lot of divines and progressed build further. The smarter thing would be just keep grinding low level expedition, I suppose.

Also the smart thing would be waiting for gear on the market to go cheaper and not buy it overpriced as soon as it appears. But I am not a smart necromancer.

Mid game progression
Big buys I did in order: Empower 4 – 5 divines, Aegis Aurora – 5 divines, Skin of the Loyal – 5 divines. And a minor upgrades here and there.

The next buy I had is very important. We got ourselves a new amulet!
Spoiler


This little thing is ALMOST as good as Ashes and seems to be a lot cheaper! So make sure you grab one, it makes night and day difference in terms of power for the build.


And so here is where I ended

Map clear showcase


Content done
Spoiler
Eater, Exarch, Maven, Sirus, Formed, Elderslayers
Atlas fully unlocked

And a few words about Sanctum
Spoiler
Fully finished my first sanctum. Pretty good to farm, but ONLY after you get some +levels/damage to your relics. Rare monsters are absolutely shit – the very first arena room I had spawned a god damn trickster…. Still! Flicker strike one shotting enemies is a thing and build feels pretty good there.




Hope you all having fun with the build!

Huh. Weird. Made a new one. https://discord.gg/bPdRBFBx
Hi, why u dont pick divergent ancestral call? It would give so much qol with +4 melee strike range for static strtike

Because melee strike range hardly ever matters. For multiple targets your ancestral call ghosties will have infinite reach anyway, and for single target - you need to be at 0 range to place brittle under enemy anyway. + flicker puts you directly under the enemy.

Fixed - minor mistake of not having 2 unset rings in later stages
