[3.9][HC/SC] Soulrend Trickster - Fast mapper with great defenses (League starter/All content)

The guide is updated for 3.8.

Need some help with monolith mechanic....

Died in HC last night in this.....remember I have NOT played legion, and no idea what to do...

But some1 pointed out u have to stay where u click the monolith and defend that place to get loot?

But the very first time I did that, I got instantly destroyed by 10k monsters that spawned in the 2nd fase.....

What to do?

Post deleted. Figured it out.

Soulrend is gonna get buffed according to balance manifesto! League starter is a go!

How strong? Even before the patch I wanted to start this build. Poorly versed in mechanics, I wonder how much they raised the skill

It's been said a couple of times that it's going to be about a 50% damage buff across the board. Let me tell you though, I'm the first poster on here. It's a blast, the guide is solid although I think a staff ends up being a great option besides his scepter/shield setup. It's been the most fun I've had in awhile. Look forward to the 3.9 update.

I planned to play soulrend when it was released, but was to busy, then it was nerfed..seems now the time has come!
As ssf player (softcore), i wonder how good it will be for deep delving?
Or I will need more control+defensive mechanics to manage 600+ depth?

Quite hyped for the buff, i'll play this build as my starter in hcssf. It's gonna be fun to see how much is rippy this league. Of course i need to buy first cat mtx :D.
Rather then that, do you plan to play with gmp or maybe try the new greater volley support?

There appears to be some confusion on exactly what the .4-.6 duration buff means. Ziz was underwhelmed with the buff, but this APPEARS to be a 50% damage buff? Or does it not tick that way?

Can anyone who knows how this works explain exactly what kind of a change we got in 3.9?
