Got lucky with 1st 'Empower' - plan is to experiment a bit more with a Herald build:

Did some more experimentation with EO Herald build using this:

Damage scaling mostly with jewels like this one:

It worked somewhat in yellow maps but DPS wasnt really good enough. Got 'stuck' too often on fat rares or magic packs. I think its possible to make it work well enough (for yellow maps) without sacrificing too much (for HC) defenses but I was looking at crazy amounts of fiddling with gear and curses and decided to scrap the idea.

Next thing was trying (again) to use Poets Pen for fast mapping. With the brand new Shroud

Of the spells which I tested Frostbolt performed better than the others for mapping. KB damage scaling mostly with jewels like the one in the Shroud. I got this to work properly for mapping - cant kill single target with this setup but that wasnt planned anyway. Also tested with 'Queen of the Forest' but movespeed was good enough (Alchemist Quicksilver etc) without. Unfortunately I encountered two problems. One was that I would sometimes take high amounts of damage without understanding what caused it. The other was that the concentration required to play it is too high for me. Biggest problem is simply routing through map layout fast. The build can (easily) do a yellow map with good layout (like Shaped Arid Lake or Shaped Strand) in <1 min but this is (for me) harder than doing red maps with the Molten Strike setup. So no plans on actually following through with this either.

Well that is quite nice - too bad i wont do another build this league :/

Aww too bad these will forever be in a "Remove Only" tab :D

Got plenty of that kind :)

Wish this had dropped earlier in the league.



I can imagine it being a lot of fun and working with a variety of builds(even none lightning based).

First time for me... too late to plan a character for:

6 Shapers without dying sun. Each chimera frag takes me like 1 day of grind, cause I get all other guardian maps but never chimera (got 5 each of other frags stashed assuming I used a lot already to boost map q), 3 of 6 chimera frags were vendor traded 3:1 from lava lake maps (which also drop much more rare than other t15 for me).

Frustrated af

No toh too
No inpulsa
No bisco
No even a semi-descent amulet
No abyss body, boots or any 2s xept belt
4 uber atzi without axe or gloves
70+ uber lab with 0 return

Never had such bad rng in previous leagues.
Guess I'm done.

do come back next League <3

I guess 3.0 spoiled the atlas progression for me; I got really slow start for league and I am still not beyond T10 (zero T11+ drops) and playing mostly just daily Zanas + buying maps I am missing (when rarely available). If I manage to kill elder even once I am very surprised (I have now 3/4 of guardians killed, but last guardian's map has evaded me for couple of days now. sigh. Got map to yellow elder though so I hope I get the guardian map before I lose motivation for this league.)

In terms of SSF experience, 3.0 was much more rewarding than 3.1 was. Some nice drops in 3.1, although mostly for wrong builds (In the end I got only two to maps; first one was necro LT CoC ShockNova, and second one plain necro spectre). I tried hard at making a wander but leveling was just too horrible and I gave up in the middle.

Fun parts of season:
+ Tabula in 3rd area
+ First self-linked 6L (sadly just PoH which I did for my first witch, but as she's retired due to spectre playstyle being easier it does not help).
+ some moments early on with abysses
+ Lightpoacher - when it dropped I had almost given up on the season but it made my first witch almost fun to play with explosion toys (hello, obliteration)

Not so fun parts of season:
- uber lab progress: 4/6 trials done (and I've done couple of hundred maps by now, but last 2 trials keep not showing up)
- lost once or twice lich battles early on (with the initially not so powerful LT CoC nova heroine)
- one lich battle bugged
- lich rarity :p

On challenge front I didn't particularly go for them; 24 seemed realistic for SSF if I played some, but not going to hit this season (at last estimate I could get ~22 in day or two of active play if I cared but last 2 would require too much effort for me to bother for yet another cosmetic I do not need)

I have more or less always played SSF (before it was officially called so as well - I abhor offgame trade system), and never really gotten to endgame, so this is more or less average league for me. Bit disappointed about uber lab and how boring abysses are, but otherwise more or less content.

Learned lessons? Spectres are much more playable than they used to be, blind is very helpful, and LT is still shit.
