i keep learning, but this event is not for me :)

Ps: after done 11 attemps of "times up" or even die, i can enter in the temple, where i cant kill blue mobs / elite. so im wondering when im gonna enjoy the event?

ps2: im playing tornado shot, but apparently i need to optimise that build, so i need specific gems linked, so specific gear linked , but for that i need to farm... its infinite!!!

lol doubt it x'D unless u make a build designed just for that or just a lame meta build

Don't be that guy, screaming "lame meta build" once a character can do something you can't. I'm playing self cast freezing pulse (hardly "meta") - without a freakin' movement skill, and I often have 15+ seconds left when I'm done.

My time hardly ever reaches 15s, let alone stays there. And With Incinerate I'm not clearing slowly. :/
Perhaps the time is bugged.

lol the timer is already pretty forgiging

most often I finish the run with more time than I had when I started

stone droprate could be a bit higher though that's for sure.

but usually if you plan your route right and get to the door you want to open last you'll end up with a stone for it.

You haven’t ascended, your bow isn’t great, I can’t see the rest of your tree because I’m on my phone so I can’t critique you there. You have conc effect as one of your supports which does absolutely nothing to help your build. So basically you are using tornado shot on a 3 link. One of those links is a less multiplier and you are using WED but don’t have much elemental damage. It’s no wonder you aren’t doing much damage and can’t clear the incursions. Take out conc effect and put added cold instead. Also, you don’t even seem to try when doing incursions from what I saw in the video. You just run into the middle of a pack of mobs and just stand there. Start moving! Shoot once or twice and start moving over to an architect, bring some mobs with you and take them down at the same time.

The joys of these Incursion events is that nothing is permanent. If you mess up, and you will, you can always try again with another temple run. It wasn't until I was lvl 46 before I got the FULL INCURSION CLEAR achievement.

That being said, I believe there is a glitch in the system. I am playing a summoner build, and at times if I'm not in the act of casting a summon, it seems that the kills my minions are getting DO NOT COUNT towards the Incursion timer! I've had it happen many times where mobs are dying all around me, or I'm busy damaging an Architect, and the timer runs out. Very frustrating.

I also believe that RNG does not allow for full customization of the temples. Sometimes you will be left trying to upgrade rooms that have no affect on your temple run because of those hard-to-find Stones of Passage. It would be nice if you could select which room you wish to run in an Incursion. Allow RNG to develop the temple, along with the options available killing architects, but offer the player to choose which room. That way, if you're not having much luck creating passageways, you can still try to upgrade the rooms you already have unlocked. This may take some of the fun out of the late-game, where it would be easy and consistent building a min-max temple run, but would take some of the frustration out for us "new" players.

All-in-all it's a great league! Yes, I have died many times when first entering an Incursion from being entirely surrounded by mobs as I enter, or bombed with Chaos dmg. I think the fact that the temples reset after each run is awesome. I can really feel the sense of level progression now that I'm finally starting to see full Incursion clears on occasion. Makes me feel like I'm becoming better at the game and not just seeing improvements based on gear or gem progression.

Well, that's my 2 cents... keep up the great work GGG!!!

Nope it's fine. You'll eventually learn how to run them and it will be easy peazy. You're just starting out. Run them for practice and by the time your character is built you'll be full clearing them, opening all the doors and killing an architect with 20 seconds left on the timer.

Or you could put up a post "guide to successful Incursion temple runs" and help us "filthy casuals" and lesser players out. No need for this challenge league to be another "just for elites" exclusive league. I hate GGG for making content that is exclusive for them... they've done that too many times. And to all going to troll back "git gud" just don't... please for the love of... NO!

You don't need a guide. You need a character that can handle them. I'm playing Arc totems prepping a try at Earthquake Jugger. I'll let you know how that works out.

You're going to hate hearing this but a super cheap alternative to all content in the game is to play one of the meta builds. You can get far even with a 4 link.

Who took over Shags account? This is....WOW, this is almost hyperbole from Shags. I am amazed.

And I've gone on record twice now saying anyone running Arc Totems has a serious biased opinion this league.

I would agree the timer is in a pretty good place. I manage to kill an architect and open a door in the odd incursion, but usually it is one or the other, and often neither depending on RNG of stones, mob placement in the direction I chose.

But I think it is perfect that way. Challenging, a little stressful, but rewarding when you do well without being too easy (read: arc totem).

Seriously, I am rolling an Arc Totem build as soon as I hit 90 with my league starter.

The time is ok. You just need really good build on high tiers. I have no problem on T8s.
But on T13s, it's another story especially if 40% phys reduction mod is in-place.

It just gets better as you get better gear. My 6L 2H mace is still only 417 pDPS. :-)
