Or for the normal ultimatum league too? Thank you. Due to the build being incredibly tanky it's going to be a very solid option for hcssf/hc trade. With multiple nerfs to other starters, this build offers incredibly competitive damage on a budget and works very well for SSF as well as SC. Overall this build is just incredibly well-rounded and strong for all leagues. My intention with it was making it as viable as possible for HCSSF, though you could easily take this into SC as a tier 1 starter. Thank you for your kind and quick answer. Will definitely try it.

Hello, I see that boss kills from cestorix videos take so long; is it because in gauntlet bosses were overbuffed and he had crap gear?	Posted by Giammafix#2456 on Apr 14, 2021, 7:04:07 PM Quote this Post
The PoB is outdated and leveling trees don''t have ascendancy points on them.	Posted by Utzaal#2474 on Apr 14, 2021, 7:12:14 PM Quote this Post
Yeah, the bosses had 40% more life in those videos, and his gear was really unimpressive. You can also think about taking a couple-few more mana nodes instead of life nodes in SC for a bit more damage.	Posted by SeqHawk#4399 on Apr 14, 2021, 7:22:09 PM Quote this Post
What changes would you make to give the build more damage for SC?	Posted by SymX#0828 on Apr 14, 2021, 7:30:15 PM Quote this Post

I saw in the PoB you mentioned that Clarity/Watcher's Eye MOM upgrade is broken, is that still the case, I couldn't find any source for that? You lose a lot by going pathfinder including ailment immunity and avatar of the chase which hurts the build's defenses quite a bit. You also lose the 20% Exposure which hurts your damage by a lot as well and forces you to run Wave of Conviction. I much prefer perma onslaught and phasing as well. PoB isn't correctly displaying the #'s for clarity watcher's eye, trying to figure out a work around by later today. It's certainly not needed though.

Pathfinder would not give us more tankiness, you're losing ailment immunity and avatar of the chase. Also increased effect of onslaught opens up our flask options more and gives us much needed cast speed.	Posted by ChemistHCSSF#2067 on Apr 14, 2021, 7:46:49 PM Quote this Post

Are there any plans for a slightly more indepth explanation on the links/how they are used, on the gear/when to swap to x or y gear/passives? I'm honestly pretty basic when it comes to build and not super familiar with PoB I guess so it's a bit intimidating at the moment :) In the PoB notes section there is a breakdown of the gem links and why they are used, I will be adding it to the forum guide shortly.

Yes, Gauntlet bosses are way more tanky and his gear was incredibly scuffed. We also solve some of it's initial damage issues it had with this iteration of the build.
