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

started my ruthless SSFHC journey today.
lvl 19 templar atm, finished act 1 without any problems
Muled flame wall and am using Holy Flame Totem and Lightning Tendrils.
Lucky drops, act 1 was a breeze :-)



Movement speed and enough damage for now.
Found my forst support gem in ledge



cant unse it yet, no links..

hoping to find some lightning res gear, oversoul is kinda dangerous..

Loving it so far..reminds me of the old days, when felshrine and docks farming was a thing.
Dont think I will go back to retail..
And hoping the problems that i heard of regarding map sustain and so on will be worked on in the near future.

really having fun <3

next upgrade,,

hype? :D

RIP @88 to crystal skinned zombie... Didnt see the crystals stacking up. And the 'crystal skinned' text is hidden on the mob in small white print amongst other small white prints. And somehow flask didnt work - maybe was dead faster than it showed on my screen. 2nd time RIP to exactly this feature. And took serious damage to it several times this league too. Its one of the bads for selfcast/selfattack. If those crystals would show up properly before they kill instead of when they kill it would be much less an issue.

Build was selfcast EoW Deadeye:

I play in SC but maybe half of my deaths in maps are to crystal skin. That mod alone would be enough reason for me not to play HC anymore.

Just finished leveling my second toon. Went a lot easier with some pre existed items/gems. used MF item while leveling and got this:


Managed to barely squeak by the third lab on first try

Now it's back to boring grinding of white maps...shish

I quit, tried ruthless again playing another version of my character from my previous attempt. I've got further and been absorbed in the game, particularly as i've accepted ruthless for what it is, PoE basic.

Any I'm level 55 and reached the end of Act 6 as I type this, i'm still hoping for some movement speed boots. This is my gear below.



And here are my measly crafting materials (i've used about 5 transmutes one of which was thrown on my wand, a handful of armourer scraps in my body armour, i threw a chance orb on my shield and it turned out nice)

Level 85.5 now. Map sustain is still an issue but at least I'm doing mostly yellow maps now. Only two upgrades since the last post:

A few cool stuff that helps me with flame totems, nothing crazy, but having 18k dps from totems and another 10k from searing bond on lvl 60 and feel like game is pretty easy right now. Love the core balance so far

been progressing today and i'm currently midway through Act 8 and along the way got some nice stuff. Early in Act 8 these boots dropped i was hoping i'd eventually get some movement speed boots, these are more than i expected!

Earlier in Act 5 a nice Unique ring dropped it's a great QoL, saves a button press lol.

I also found a nice amulet

I had a few supports drop but only a couple are useful for this character atm

All in all today has been quite rewarding and my character feels nice to play, Eye of Winter and Cold Snap work well so far, i'm toying with the idea of switching to Winter Orb if i take Swift Killer.

Made some new chars. Including a Toxic Rain Deadeye. Survivability isnt good enough for later I think. Will see... And build has issues with low INT and mana.

Apparently the #2 Deadeye also RIPped to Crystal Skinned. I am basing that on the new character name "Crystal_Skinned_Ike"... Which seems to be a minion Necromancer.

PS4 SSF R

Reached maps at level 71 and subsequently ran a handful, nothing worthwhile dropped from them and I'm thinking that's it until next league or even PoE 4.0, I'll be playing Diablo IV before that's released.

I feel as if getting to maps is end game for me, especially as drops won't improve and the mobs are much harder, my damage isn't enough. Mapping feels pointless after the Campaign, it feels like Ruthless really shines during the Campaign.

Anyway I'd reach level 73 as a Trickster and this is my gear, the body armour was the result of my only Alchemy Orb used on a Sadist Garb bought from Weylam Roth.
