This is the most unfriendly league to non-meta builds I have ever played.

Aye, it was pretty obvious but I still made sure to warn... the few people that come in here for a bit of educated chinwag so they probably knew that already.

Anyway, haven't played a totemist in a while and this was the perfect time to do that.
Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

I just skip Blights all together... I'm not getting the oils I need anyway. I wanted to do a "returning projectiles cobra lash" but I'll never afford it as progression is slow and weak.
My excitement for returning projectiles was ruined once i found out how expensive it was.
I'm a working man, sometimes even 7 days a week so I can just forget about reaching my goal.

Hi, have you checked out D3?

Greetings,

I started with a cyclone Jugg. And the only way to be almost all the time successful was to do maps 6-7 tiers lower than the maps I could kill the boss easy. For example, if I can do a T-15, I had to do a T-9 or T-10 to be able to have success with the Blight encounter EXCEPT if I was lucky enough to have only one lane. blight maps with cyclone is almost impossible. I was able to do one only and I guess it was by luck.

Then I made a Summoner...and I as able to do T-10 eazzzzzzyyyyyy as soon as I got to maps with a level 63 summoner with most gems level 14-15 no quality. As soon as hit 1000 strength and my The Baron worked, the character felt great in all maps Blight encunters...And I did not even do one lab at that time!!!!!! I waited to be level 79, just for the heck of it.

Even with my cyclone, I liked Blight encounters. Really fun to me but frustrating. I think GGG has something good going on but it needs polishing.

However, I do think they need to work on the oil drop. IT SUCKS!!!!! I don't want no stinky essences, I don't want no stinky veiled items, I don't want no stinky gems. I want oil, I want currency, I want shards.

Thank you

Nope, not interested in generic games.

It's like GGG never played a TD themselves before making one... It's missing waves, it's missing proper paths and a way to properly see in which direction the lines go, it's missing balance, and excitement.

I wouldn't care if a Blight were 10 minutes long if it was actually fun, now it's just a frustrating mess that confuses you and you just scratch your hear wondering how you could've missed the pump were getting destroyed.
Too much fireworks distracting on screen, bosses spawning literally 2-3 seconds from pump, russian-doll monsters respawning like 10 times before they die and monsters moving out of their lanes...

I mean, hello? Where's the TD?

This!

Is this the league of useless talismans? Or a league of random crap in "item" boxes? This is the league of blight and oils so why the fuck do oils drop once in 5-8 encounters?
i played with CoC assassin this league. trully? i dont even build those ***** towers cus they do nothing. havent any problem with t16 blights (with reaaaaly bad gear, havent time to play more this league[and its booorring]).
Only bosses are hmmm annoying. Some of them have much more hp and dmg than t16 catarina, shaper or w/e.
but...
lets become honest. Its just becouse of ***** powercreep which ggg made every league. normal maps are just a sad joke, 99% of mobs go down in less than 1second.
GGG just "balance" league encounters to their braindead buffings so everything which wasnt meta or specific league clear become just a bad. Thanks to them, 80% of players play with 2-3 OP builds, 10% with "specialists" builds. the others? they are just sad guys ;)

Just for the record, Steelmage was smashing yellow blighted maps with a Glacial Hammer Zerk.

Now, glacial hammer does have inherent CC and good damage which is great for the blight unique monsters, so there's that too, still ...


Yea glacial hammer is so safe thanks to permafreeze everything all the time, most enjoyable build I ever played and the 3 layer aoe, 1st strike pseudo aoe, second cold splash and 3rd the ancestral call ghosts also doing strike and splash shreds absolutely everything except solo targets.

AND LOL THE STORY BEHIND STEEL GOING GLACIAL HAMMER:
