How is ssf going for u guys/girls? ^^

League winding down in its final weeks and I drop a decent melee weapon. Of coarse, I am playing a caster. What to do? Maybe I'll stay where I am next league. Even better, maybe league stones will become core game.
Frostbolt Totem Hierophant has ~11.6K ES now. Got new Shield - spent some currency until an 'orb of chance' landed. +~4 Divines and 1 Exalt (the stun...):

Maybe will craft(exalt) this ring yet:

Tried crafting better Sceptre than this but no luck there:


No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle!

I think I'm probably going to stay in perma ssf hc. I don't think short term leagues and ssf are a good fit for each other. I view ssf as a long term project.

I vendored mine :)
I was little bit bored and was playing while watching a stream and then decided to do a breach boss for the first time. Well I ripped. haha

I enjoyed this league a lot. Really good end of the league to me.

New gear setup for CA Deadeye. Didnt use Snakebite and 2nd 'Wildfire'. Single target is very strong even though I am "missing" 3 links and 2 projectiles - and the build isnt made for it either. Molten Strike (with helmet enchantment) was already one of the strong ST choices before they added 'Wildfire'...

After enjoying SSF leagues, I only log in now for master missions. I manage to get a 2nd set of keys for the Pale Council but I didn't get the drop I wanted.

some select lab enchantments and drops

My time spent playing SSF is nowhere near hardcore because of RL matters. But it is enough to reach endgame without the toxicity involved in trading. I do have some concerns that if improved might boost SSF player participation
Spoiler

- before I started SSF, I knew I will have a bad atlas progression without the luxury to buy maps. And indeed it was terrible that I lost all interest in the league and folded to RNG messing with my map drops
- Divination cards impact on my SSF progress is close to nil if not for the occasional currency/gem. My eyes bled from seeing too much Her Mask, The Lover/Scholar and Rain of Chaos. The layers of RNG involved for stars to align so you can have a complete set at the right time while being useful is insane unless you got a lot of patience to farm for it
- I feel that Zana's XP gain is still too low for the vital role she plays in mapping. I do have Elreon and Haku at L8 now while the rest is still L7 which I think is fair for a L91 toon. I had a lot of help from Navali's x3 master missions though.
- Leaguestones is core mechanic material, period
- I think I found a grand total of 3 master sextant this league, RNG or it needs a boost?
- It's pure luck that I found the last three Trial of Ascendancy one after another, but there should be a more deterministic way of finding the ones you need without finding the same ones you have already. I also noticed that a lot of trials show up from Zana's daily missions which are great in a way.
- I honestly enjoy Navali's prophecies, she's a welcome break when bored and spices up mapping instances a lot. But like the trials, repetition of prophecies critical for completion challenges should be reduced
I can't wait for 3.0. Judging from how RNG gated and grindy challenges are. I might skip playing SSF when Oriath comes if they don't change how soon rewards are awarded or there is no reasonable, separate set of challenges allotted for SSF.

Made it to 80 again (hc), nothing by the standards of most but I always count it as a small personal achievement. Guess I'll probably die soon but leveling this build has been a lot of fun.

Switched from a Sunder Gladiator to a Tri-Curse Summoner. Got five zombies, a Flame Golem, Skeletons on a totem, and SRS along with two auras. I'm only 63 but have started maps. I'm only on Act1 Merc too. So I still need to finish.

Been using this:


But, I did have an ilvl 100 Necro Silks my Gladiator looted from a card.

I scoured it, use a few alts, then blessed it, then crafted it by a master, then global said to "slam" it which I guess means use an exalted on it; so I did.



I lucked out with the exalted as it have the +energy shield %. The intel and +energy shield came from the alt. Blessed orb put the resistance on it. I crafted the other resistance.

No idea how good it is. I think the season should be ending pretty soon here. Figured I'd burn a few currencies I had.
And the white guys says, I'll have a Coke then.
So a little update
My chaos resistance problem got solved
.

Also something curious happened - I vaaled my first T15 map to hole the atlas, and then this happened:


Got the archievement - but who can do this map with vulnerability??! With a melee char?

And got
, first through a strongbox, the second in a pirates treasure. All on one day.
Elreon craft, here I'm coming, burning up all the alts....
