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

"Some blows must be evaded. Some blows must be endured. The trick is to tell them apart."
- Daresso, the Sword King

What an amazing quote. It almost makes me wonder if I should have skipped the Quad Essence Crab with Immortality Aura in an Ele Weakness Vulnerability Map.

Yeah that was my fault entirely, lol. Oneshot me too. I thought I kept him far enough away with my Lions Roar knockback but the AOE was bigger than anticipated. It´s honestly fine, I didn´t like the character anyways. I just need to find the motivation to re-roll. Or continuing the GC miner I have even though I don´t like the playstyle.

Ok, I see where you are coming from.

I have never been a good hardcore player, but that was mostly a lack of attention on certain mechanics.
So I guess softcore fits for me more, my strength lies more in the theorycrafting min/maxing department.
I enjoy being able to try and learn builds or playstyles Ive never played and I would never reach any proper endgame content in hardcore so being able to face the shaper at all is nice for me.


Since I am trying out a champion reaver as well Im curious as in what build you followed.

I followed Mathil´s build but only loosely because I didn´t have amazing gear.
I used Bringer of Rain and took more leech nodes to be a bit more defensive.
Didn´t work out for me though.

To be fair, Mathil is one of the few players that I see on SC that benefit from the SC environment.
He has done so many Bossfights, that he could do them on HC as well.
He also only plays Melee characters so he knows what he´s doing.

My life was pretty low and my only real defensive layer was the knockback from Lions Roar and
Vaal Grace. His build should be able to do all the content but I don´t think it´s the right build
in an SSF environment for me now. My gear was just not good enough.

I need something that stays far away from the damage. A totem build, another summoner or maybe
a molten strike assassin with huge life gain on hit will be my next attempt.
To be fair this Quad Essence Mob would´ve been a challenge for any True Melee build that doesn´t have some insane defensive layers.


This is the final form of Mathils Champion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMXnNE5fWFE
The character went through many transformations so if you want to follow his build
this is the best one. As with all of Mathils builds the dmg should be there, the survivability lies
in the players own hands. 198% increased life so it´s not a SC build.
Have fun trying it out. Should be good if you can gear it right.

Oh! I meant on the Eye of Desire, for me too. I imagine I'll misjudge soon enough.

But yes, that Daresso quote fits too. It's on the Perseverence Vanguard Belt, funnily enough :)

I wasn't saying you should have skipped, just that it would have been an unguageable leap in difficulty. It sounds like it was a fitting (welcomed?) end for that character. Re-roll, when you're ready.

Cyclone summoner?

@NoDisco
Try some of the builds from LiftingNerdBro.

Went for Cyclone this league and this one drops quite early :)


some other not so bad stuff:


Itemwise I'am quite happy...but map drops are a different story.

Been using this. 28% increased Attack Speed is bananas DPS:

Other Helmets waiting to Enchant:

Am running Enfeeble, so need Int obviously. Am crit-based and Life-based melee. Found this:

5 link essence drain for the win



Got to uber atziri deathless, then died 3 times during the first split phase, after that I managed to get myself together and finish the fight.

Altho my dmg was super awful during every boss encounter, I'm not even sure how I managed to do the map with 40k tooltip ED.

How's it going?

I quit last night. Migrated to the regular area.

Didn't know it was solo but mainly, I started the season so late I worry I'll never get to 36 without help.

So, I left.

Maybe next league, since I'll have a longer season.

Best I found was a Brutus Sprinkler with good rolls early on. Quadrupled my damage from the two handed weapon I was using.
