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

I've just had the sickest rng this morning.

Found yet another cloak of flame so figured ill throw some jew at it to 6s then vaal. 6s and 5led in like 2 jew 5 fuse. So i figured i'll throw some at my other stuff while i'm having some lucky moment.

Ended up with 3 5ls and 1 6l on items i'm not even going to use. :D
It's my 5th 6l this league in total.
I hope i've not used up all my rng for when i get shavs and it refuse to link...
These only took less than 300 jewelers to 6s them all, and about 250 fusings for these results.


Might make another summoner more focused on the spectres rather than skeleton which my main is, maxblock skelly summoner.

Also game wants me to go life based RF instead of lowlife it seems, found these 2 jewels today also. Pretty sick if you ask me.

Little late to post, been busy with other things.
Started the league on a CA/Toxic Rain Pathfinder.
Found a nicely rolled Chinsol and swapped to Physical Crit Bleed Rain of Arrows Deadeye.







Was a fun build to start the league and get into yellow maps.

While pushing atlas found a Soulwrest which ended up with me making a necromancer, currently pushing on that character and loving it! MinMaxing this one since it is so much fun to play.

Everyone linking soulwrest making me abit jelly, i've been chancing them entire league.

I got trolled once by chancing this crap.


But my build focus has shifted to make a ll build either way. Altho if i get the staff i will def try it out.

Nice find @pelicanOfWar

Omg my rng today is just over the top!

Finally finished my shav today, also the taste of hate.


Then it 5led 5 times in a row, before finally hit the 6l, at only 120 fuses ish.



So happy, and this is my 2nd 6l just only today.
6th total of the league.

Now i can finally roll into my planned build.

It took about a week of farming to get all the cards. While i enjoy running same zone over and over like dried lake before the change, i don't think i'll do this farm again. :D

Amount of runs it took is aaalot, filled sulphite to 18k twice, then 29k 1 and 1/2 times after they changed the cap.
You get about 25-35 per run, sometimes u get 2-3 spawns however so thats more like 75-100ish.

So ye i base my amount of runs on that.

Now time to finish off shaper so i can get the gloves i need.
Inb4 he drops sword or flask :|

Gear used, nvm some of the gems in there as i'm just using them to powerlevel for vaaling:

Wow you're pretty lucky with 6 linking. Gg for your shaving, what build are you planning to make ?

I'm only at 1 6L on this league.
But I can't really complain since I've got good drops and a used only roughly 1300 fuse on differents armors.

@PelicanOfWar

I'm a little bit jealous about your lvl 21 Phantasm gem. Didn't managed to get one myself so far, but I really love Soulwrest. Ialso like that I could fit in Charged Dash and Storm Barrier into the build because I always wanted to play both. I play it as Occultist and wanted to go CI but then I 6l this in 80 fuses and now I'm fine playing hybrid^^

nice drop today...ias missing, annulement risky shit...

these are my rewards for my f... patience

I found Aul at depth 416, with only endurance charge oh hit mod. Probably the easiest I could have hoped for.. and Man was that hard still.

took me around 10ish attempts to kill him. For reference, it took me 6 attempts to do a deathless Uber elder on the same character.
I got him down to what seems like 1 hp at one point and he killed me^^

At the end, my kill was due to dumb luck. I dont want to spoil the fight, but Aul has one extremely dealy move that will kill you super quickly and is kinda hard to dodge. Vast majority of my deaths were to that move, and in my last attempt he decided to not use it for some reason.

You don't need the quality on the gem so it is pretty easy to get a lvl 21. Just put 6 in your weapon swap while lvling.

I actually found these

Tried them out for a bit and seem totally nuts. Unfortunately I don't have any good hybrid gear. My life gear is also pretty bananas so just couldn't justify swapping over.

Ive only tried SSF for a very short period of time, but man this is way beyond me, I can't really understand how people choose to play an online game but decide to play it alone for a long time:P

I did feel quite lucky there, kind of like it was dropping way more currency there but I guess that was nothing more but rng:D
I'm thinking about maybe giving it one more shot after reading all your guys' comments, but first I gotta find the right build that's great for playing solo and provides enough fun

Many of us grew up playing ARPGs offline, if POE was available as a offline single player experience it would compare. No such thing exists so SSF is the closest thing we have.

There are many other reasons to play SSF. Trade league can get tiresome and monotonous once you learn the intricacies of the game. I personally burned out on trade league since I got roped into the meta currency grind. SSF allows me to forget all that and actually enjoy a unique dropping or crafting cool items with my currency instead of worrying about being the most efficient to make money.

Not knocking anyone's opinion of fun, PoE is great in that it allows multiple styles of play.
