Bestiary Softcore ladder stats so far

I'm not all that surprised.

Those at the top of the list have great league starter builds which you would expect.

I think as the league progresses we'll see an increase in the diversification to those ascendencies lower on the list (although it is relatively diverse already which is nice to see).

P.S. An Ascendent is ranked #1. NICE!

I somewhat blindly went into this League as an Elementalist.

Wanted to do a triple herald, triple golem build but tossed out two of the heralds since they didn't exactly do much for my spells and it just gives me more mana for MoM.

Doesn't help how my heralds don't exactly buff my golems in any shape or form. The class just seems more like a self-buff type of thing rather than put the golems giving the buffs much else. I'd imagine Necromancer to be a better golemancer than the one that's supposedly all about them.

People aren't playing Zerk because they're tired of it.

Oh come on, you can't really believe that's the reason <looks pointedly at Necromancer>.

There's also a bias towards the ascendancies that match the new skills the best. Deadeye is a pretty obvious choice for SST, and Jugger is a likely choice for TS.

Jugger I can see getting a boost from people wanting to try out TS. But I suspect anyone who made a character devoted to SST probably had to abandon the character or fall too far behind for many to make it to the top 2000 with that character - SST looks to be a total faceplant, and probably isn't a significant factor to Deadeye's in top 2000.

All i see is how badly they fkd over berserkers, so funny.

A lot of people said Deadeye was shite before the league dropped.

Nice stats thanks ! Only surprise to me was I wasn't expecting assassin to be so low

Edit: I really want to know the #2 occulists build and #4 and #5 whoa!

Dedicated curser, dedicated curser and dedicated curser.

Best new buffed classes dominate? Not surprised. Its something new to try!

Inquisitor: class remains as it was. Solid, good, but today a little boring.
Berserk: This happens when GGG balances and gives a shit about player opinions. My standard berserk can cope with the degen effect and the leech mechanic for berserks now almost works like the slayer leech... the leech never stops as long as the degeneration is in effect. But I wouldnt want to play that class now with mediocre gear or while leveling....GGG has killed Berserks successfully.

ci is still fucked in leagues so very little hope for occultist to take off tbh, its amazing, and if youre not playing in standard with % crafts on rings and proper es rolls on gear who gives a shit because ci is garbage.

From my experience in the league so far I beg to differ. Not sure if it is viable for other classes but I barely ever felt as tanky as I do now on an Occultist with shitty gear.

Also gear prices for ES so low, easy to buy something nice early on.
