WHAT is your league STARTER for 3.3 and Why?

I'm massively torn. The Storm Burst/Ball Lightning tweaks have me mega interested (as I love Lightning skills), but... Incinerate. :/ And I don't want to really run two Elementalists this league. Hard choice.

There's also the temptation of a Trapper, or a Dark Pact Necromancer. Because if Dark Pact doesn't work out, I could always just throw down hard into Skele/Zombies. And some of the new traps look great, and I haven't done much with traps before.

I'll probably not decide until the last minute, same as always, while thinking about it in the back of my head while doing yardwork until I go... slightly more crazy then I already am, I suppose.

Necromancer may win in the end, though.
Normally I'm a Raider Glacial Hammer guy all the way, but this time I'm gonna play Juggernaut Infernal Blow, using TideBreaker and Veruso's in order to stack additional damage from endurance charges.
Damn, for first time in my PoE history im so hyped that i probably will try more than 2-3 builds in same league! Skills revamp is what i needed, for me it is better than shaper/elder expansions, maybe even new acts are not better than that.
Im going for ED build i tried in ssf-bestiary, mostly because i know i will not fail it like i would if i start with a revamped skill or something i have never played so far. xD
Slow down for a minute to enjoy the beauty around us.
I want Incinerate but i still got no idea wich ascendy i should go for and what items
Blight trickster because:

Shadow
Never tried it
Vaal blight is new and shiny
Alepoathy makes it cheap and simple to start up, and it can scale far into end game.
Buddy is going essence drain
I almost really liked scorching ray, but wanted more area. I think this can get me there.
Ignite Elementalist. How I Ignite will be determined once I see final patch notes. Also I'm starting the league 2 weeks late if not more so by then people will have figured out if Ignite is as bonkers as it seems from the dev posts.
Probably Arc trap Sabo. Never played traps before and Arc is my favorite spell after Ice Nova.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
Might try something like Ignite Trickster (fireball?) to take advantage of the ignite rework. If it ends up being too tedious to level I might fall back on Hierophant Arc Totems to get the atlas all set up before rerolling something with better clearspeed. Having seen the new Arc gem I think that'll be the most overpowered league starter tbh.

Good ol' ED/contagion/blight trickster with MoM. Good damage, reflect immune and quite tanky. Also not too gear reliant.
I make dumb builds, therefore I am.
Looks like I will go melee after years of ignoring it after the dominating blow and fb nerfs.

Reave+Flurry
but to level up I will use essence drain/elemental hit with bow
I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty, and witty and gay,
And I pity Any girl who isn’t me today!
