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

Level 84 RF Jugg, white maps, sometimes lower yellows.

I recently found a Malevolence aura, so I finally have a functioning aura setup. My main skills are still on 2.5 links, but I'm doing fine.

Currently grinding for oils + Harvest swaps to finally get an annoint. My amulet is probably good enough. Also need better gear in every slot, especially better boots (they are basically a one mod item right now).





Was super lucky to hit +1 max res on my chest with the only ichor I ever found. :)

The 10 acts were brutal, now it's really comfortable, kind of boring, actually.
Maps are way easier than in standard mode (overleveled, low density, not many map mods, random league content is very rare).

I will try a couple more days to finally establish myself in higher yellow maps, but if this doesn't work out, I'll probably just stop.

I somehow knew I was going to roll a wander.

just found divine blessing and also my first unique xd sadly it ain't very good but cold res for an alt is decent ig xd

edit: this just dropped

Finished the Acts at level 76... lots of grinding. Basic Zombie/Specter/Raging Spirt build. Playing without an Aura wasn't crippling, but having one would have helped a lot. Even a dumb one.

First map: Lava Lake. Utter failure. Did get the second Expedition guy though.

Dropped 'Portal' in act 7 or so. Not sure I have seen that drop in earlier leagues.

And now just got 'Empower' too.

Gems not so scarce maybe? Except for 'Determination'.........



Will have to think whether 'Empower' can even be leveled up. Quality costs too much and no Haku/Catarina quality gear.

But have a nice bow for CA:


Or maybe in here if I dont get a 5-link until then:

I got tired of Ruthless.

I had very little issue with sustaining maps/progressing in them. Finished all of them up to T10.

The brick wall I hit was survivability. The gamble I made was I'd find a determination, but couldn't. Just sucks how defensively-focused the game is now and they completely nerf the defensive aura drop rates. MoM/armour gear was good enough to get through yellows but I wasn't just gonna farm forever without any guarantee.

Had a lot of fun though, hope in the future GGG isn't so stingy with defensive options or everyone's just gonna roll Jugg Meta.

Ye, that map sustain is really an issue
Edit: was but a minor set back, back to yellows now
Edit2: Stuck in white maps again...




I have my atlas on ritual and heist and they give nothing but dog sh*t
Anyone had gotten good stuff from those?
Edit: gotten 3 gems out of ritual so it stays. heist- nothing but trash -respected out of

I think I've seen a Portal drop before.

But hella jealous of the rest of your drops... I have never seen an Empower drop, Ruthless or not (I mean I don't play that much but still), and that bow (I run Galvanic + Burning Arrow)...

Haven't had good drops for a whole Act now, just finished 7.

No idea about Heist but Ritual still gives special bases. Without speccing into it and only did a few Rituals I got one:

So I finished act1, and a bit of act2. Some of the item drops really makes you happy :) my aim is to eventually finish 10acts. Playing scion, with whatever skills I can.

Weapon was a game changer for me, finding boots with MS also felt giga good, since we got no movement skills.



But I thought I will find less yellow items.
