The main thing I like about this build is the outstanding agility. Instead of focusing on facetanking all game content, this build focuses on dodging which is greatly underestimated.

Some examples of crazy map mods I've done with this build:

- Double boss maze with vulnerability + extra cold damage. Rocks were able to do 2k+ each.
- Residence with minus max, turbo(Fleet), vulnerability. Dominus was EXTREMELY difficult. Took me over 10 minutes to do him but it was worth it(got academy).
- Collonade with vulnerability, deadly, extra fire damage. Yup, a triple damage map.
- Temple with double boss, temporal, deadly,lightning res. I don't really want to repeat this. Temporal severely hurts this build against something like piety.

In general I can do entire maps without getting hit a single time if I really try. That is mostly the strategy of triple damage maps. Whirling out of the way when you have a full qualitied whirl, 27% IAS weapon, haste, IAS gear and IAS passives is extremely fast. I am able to travel maps faster than someone with 55% movement + QS.

So thanks again for the build. One of the truly skillbased builds.

im not buying any MT's since the 1.0 release with totally destroyed build diversity, so that only 2-3 builds per league are top tier and everything else is totally garbage.

Minara Anemina is not overtuned. She is beautifully tuned. She is very, very difficult now, but still very beatable. It's about playing around Minion Instability. She's now on the tier of Xandro and Igna, but they're both good examples of what Rogue fights should be like.

I've fought almost all of them since the patch, and for the most part everything's good. In fact, I strongly believe the Scion is undertuned and needs to kick some more ass.

Magnus Stonethorn, on the other hand, is overtuned as a motherfucker, in the exact same way Invaders tend to be: an "avoid me or die" Flameblast, not nearly enough time to actually avoid it.

But Igna and Xandro are not on the same tier, unless that were changed substantially. Xandro is quite easy, I beat him with no problem even with my weak self-found Ambush summoner while Igna was for me only doable on my high spell block tank.

As I see, GGG implemented another batch of "skip me" content... what is a point in wasting time for beating exile to get in return bunch of blue items with occasional vendor grade rare?

Faced 15+ exiles today. Will give opinions on some(met many of the same ones).

Armios Bell: If they did buff him I sure didn't notice it. Saw no vaal skills and he was easy as ever.

Antalie Napora: She has gotten a lot stronger. Faced her in academy with no damage mods where her vaal burning arrow was doing 3k+. All her normal arrows hit extremely hard too(pretty sure got buffed). My friend who uses ondars was scared of her even.

Ash Lessard: His EK is as strong as ever but no noticeable buffs.

Damoi Tui: I think he got tankier but it's hard to tell with mapmods. He was a real pain to deal with, extremely tanky.

Ion Darkshroud: No noticeable buff. Seemed easy enough.

Tinevin Highdove(spark guy): So I fought him in a 4 extra projectile residence. My duo partner instantly died when he used vaal spark. It was in a small room and he did 750 sparks at once... Beware of this exile, extremely dangerous in indoor maps(especially minus max/multiple projectile).

Jonah Unchained: Pretty sure he does higher damage now but hard to tell. Hit hard but was manageable. Saw no vaal skill.

Minara Anemina(summoner): Uses vaal skeletons which have minion instability. It does reasonably high damage but I'm a ranged build so she was a pushover like always. Be very cautious in minus max maps but I faced her 4 times in a variety of maps and she was always the least dangerous exile.

Orra Greengate: Heard she uses vaal ROA but did not see it. Fought her in a vulnerability map and she seemed manageable enough. The other archer exile is a lot more dangerous.

Kinda wanted to meet magus to see how strong he is. The only ones I'd say got much stronger are the spark exile(the only one that managed to kill anyone in my duo) and Antalie(archer).
