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

Compared to storm burst, Ball lightning has the advantage of having huge range and better frontload. So most things get stunned far away.

But sometimes you do feel squishy and just go "plop".

I'm interested whether the defense holds up as Heirophant. I played Storm Burst last league and had similar defenses (about 10K EHP, skewed slightly more towards life). I thought it would be reasonably tough but it turned out the be just about the most fragile build I've ever played, and I died a million times. Most frustrating league I've played, even worse than my first one (although my expectations were probably higher).

Ended up going CI towards the end of the league just to try it out. It wasn't really any better or worse, even though my CI gear was total trash. In comparison, this league has been a cakewalk.

I've been wanting to do something like that if I get a Cloak of Defiance. It'd just be crazy beefy. That's not set up either, just so you don't think it's trash. All of the gear just has a moderate amount of life, except for the jewelry and weapon, I still kept them pretty mediocre though.

The damage could probably get really good too, counting the totems.

Edit: Damn, forgot to put some mana leech on it somewhere. Obviously a bit is needed, it's bugging me I didn't put it in there though.
Need a new signature, cuz name change. I dunno though. I guess this seems fine. Yeah, this is good.

So I actually managed to 6-link

within like 200 Fusings and thought that is sign enough for me to play a curse build. I also had
lying around so I opted for a Soulrend/Bane Triple Curse Trickster. The build feels incredibly tanky because of the massive amount of defensive layers I chose (21k evasion with flask, Acro/Phase Acro, Ghost Dance, Escape Artist, MoM, Enfeeble+TempChains, Shield Block+Rumis, Vaal Grace, Vaal Molten Shell, Fortify and various additional dodge/phys reduce stats on items. At level 88 I almost feel untouchable in T10 maps to the point of barely losing any hp. The clearspeed with Soulrend is alright as long as I use GMP. The downside is a lackluster Single Target DPS before I get better items (still thinking about tinkering with the new cluster jewels) and the Soulrend mechanic can feel a little suboptimal especially in tight quarter maps.

Everytime I melt content but die a lot I feel like I have to play something more tanky and everytime I don't die (haven't died a single time with this character so far) I want to play something more violent and destructive. Still searching for the perfect SSF build. :)


Here is my full gear

Anyone have any idea what I should do with my 6-linked Inpulsa's? It just kinda happened.. I wanted to make a Static Strike Gladiator with max block since I have 2 good helmet bases with +2 max beams but I am unsure how to really build it. The DPS looks kinda meh. If I play something melee-ish I want at least a million DPS against Shaper targets since this isn't my first or second character this season..

Yeah it is used mainly for the lightning explosions, but it also offers some shock effect. Interesting item. :) Last item I used it on a BV Elementalist with 50% Lightning 50% Cold Damage and chained HoI with Inpulsa's. Huge screen-wide explosions are fun.

However, looking into more single target right now

I killed Sirus for the first time ! Killed the elder (easily). I consider I finished the game (for my way of playing).
Now there is only a lot of grind ahead of me with no very relevant gameplay change.

That's why it's time to reroll ! But here comes the issue...
I need 2 ilvl 75 large minion cluster and 3 more medium warcry cluster. And no way to reliably farm them.

I am doing the "5 magic item" recipe, but no luck yet.

If I extrapolate the fact that I found only ONE relevant cluster jewel in ALL of my game time this league... I will never be able to do this build.

So unless someone here has a brilliant idea on how to help, I am going to have to quit SSF for this league :'(



edit: Yep, I quited ssf for this league. I consider I reached my objectives and even beyond !
Now I am going to roll a berserker with these:

I'll probably end up yolo exalting these jewels. Jut because I can and still have 8 or 9 exalts !
