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

After 2 weeks of hardcore grinding, going back to work, so here is my final cyclone slayer build.


And few notable drops.


Now im going back to casual play. Good luck and stay sane exiles.

Grinding up a Frost Blades toon. Level 87 now, shouldn't be hard to get to ~92 pretty quickly.

My gear:

Gonna pick up some more life nodes first, but then planning on equipping this in a convenient jewel node:

It is funny that this jewel dropped in SSFHC while I was trying so hard to farm it in SSFSC but at least I got the challenge completed:


And got a lucky craft:

Yeah I have a hard time playing trade league once I moved over to SSF.

Typically what I do now is start the league SSF. Create a starter build to grind. Make a few builds as best as I can (this league I did like 7). Kill Uber Elder, Uber Atziri, et al.

After all of my league goals are done, I move one character over to trade with whatever leftover currency I have to mess around with some items on trade.

I always wanted to mess with Zerphi's Heart but that thing was like 50ex or something crazy at one point... this league it was only 5ex so I moved a character over to play with it!

Glad you enjoy SSF. Hope you find some cool stuff.

I broke a new record and my total SSF exalt count was 41. Then I ended up dropping 3 more in trade lol...

I think I'm blessed this league.

Anyone have thoughts on how else to improve my gear? Running a fairly cookie-cutter RT starforge cyclone slayer. Notable fun drops: Tornado shot enchant on dex helm, 1 fiend. Currently working on:

-Farming Kaom's (5/8 King's heart cards)
-Getting a watcher's eye
-6L starforge
-Trying to find damn elreon rings in betrayal (have done 2 and a half masterminds, elreon just not dropping -mana cost unveils)
-Farming alterations for eventual fortify weapon

Enchant your gloves?
Find a better enchant for your boots? (Just my opinion)
Try Vaaling your 20Q gems? (the ones that are not Vaaled already ofc)

Not a big fan of Devoto's for that build. No health. Damage decreased. You can probably do better with a good rare. You should also be putting the incubators on your BEST item, the one you're least likely to want to swap out.

1) You have built around "good resitance items with low life" This is always not good in the long run because it will gear lock you. I would say replace that stygian vise as soon as you can as you are missing out on a ton of life there.

2) Have to keep grinding syndicate Elreon to get his ring craft so you can ditch that one and actually craft a decent - mana skills ring. This is pretty RNG dependent so you just gotta go with the flow there.

3) Potentially start grinding elder maps to drop an elder chest base pure armor, armor evasion. This will give you something to craft on when you Delve for fossils. If you can get a good - mana cost chest it will really free up some of your other options. If you are going Kaom's Heart then you have to get that Starforge 6L'd... but I'm sure you already are doing that :D

4) Also... as a slayer... What on earth made you play RT??!? It's so easy to crit cap now just from the tree and ascendancy alone. Accuracy is super easy to get on the tree as well. It makes no sense to go RT especially with a starforge. I would switch to crit if I were you. The extra damage will make it so you kill things much faster which will make you feel safer.

A real 6L is the one thing missing for me this League.
