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

I swore not to do a totem build this league, but then this happened...

Got on a prophecy,seem to take a while to get as the enemy was just not spawning in the appropriate maps.



I am yet unsure wether to replace my wand and shield as while I can see a big jump in DPS (even 5 linked) I lose resists,block,Energy shield and lowered chance for enemies to explode.The roll is pretty bad though so divined it might give significant enough DPS increase,offence being the best form of defence(if you kill before enemies have chance to hit).Also could use it on weapon swap,Blade vortex seems much better(Even 4L does better than 5L) for tough bosses and Red Beasts than Ethereal knives which is better for clearing trash mobs

I am playing unusual for me by sticking to a build for longer before starting another.

I have this but finding I keep thinking about a melee build,don't have any ideas for trap that I haven't done before.

I gave up on the league finally once I hit 24 challenges without particularly chasing them; two crab bosses killed, and I haven't seen hide or hair of others, probably ~100 hours /played, 120 deaths (70 on my level 75 CI Death's Oath occultist which I definitely won't do again in a SSF league, and 50 on my level 91 MoM GC Hierophant). Most deaths on hiero were in leveling phase, but the occultist kept dying constantly in maps and was horrible to level to boot.

This feels too much like standard for me to push to 36 challenges,and I am not sure if I got anything useful out of bestiary stuff (except the boosted drops during the last week from yellows, which were nice). Once that patch hit there was hardly any alch shortage although map progress was abysmal for me this time around - around 100 distinct maps found total and I think my completion is bit below 100 (couldn't bother to do some unique and/or suicidal alch+vaaled red maps)).

Notable gear (for me at any rate):



Most happy thing for me is that I managed to do the offocoloring for death's oath (final red gemslot missing as I ran out of jewelers before my motivation for league ran out :->).

Shitload of nice-ish tanky or shooty stuff that I didn't get to try (two builds is more than enough for me in a league); as usual, I have couple of tabs full of assorted uniques that I kept around for random reasons, just random sample:





Funnily enough I got also but I was too comfort-driven to bother switching to it, up to T14 melted fast enough with the shroud and never saw T15 map.

2 claws in 4 chimera runs - lucky
5 divines and not a single 15% aps - unlucky

found an exalt in Tul's Domain - lucky
didn`t drop blessing after i spent 3 days with 99 splinters and this - unlucky

also what`s up with the Esh breaches? I swear 4 out of 5 are fkn Esh

But a lot of league specifics that made bestiary nice



I would KILL for a imprint for magic item recipe

Rolled this ( 5 chaos )

Found this ( Academy map )

Crafted some stuff for my jugg rf:


I pray for a good regal on the helmet, it being an armor/es hybrid makes it a bit harder to not screw up the life roll i think.
Other noticeable gear i'll use some time :)

Getting a nice mix of items, makes it very hard to decide on the next build I'll make.

Regal result of the helmet:


Trying to annull:


rip sweet prince

New wander is coming along nicely. :) Got some rampage gloves from the bestiary slot machine!... blatantly using it for rampage and crit since no phys damage. Pretty fun so far. need to figure out a way to get more life and stop being greedy with uniques.

Get respectable replacements with Life on them, swap into them one at a time, testing out the difference. See which no/low-life Items you miss the least, start by playing with those ones replaced.
