My left foot says Bleed arrow glad so I guess I'll listen to my eyes and wait for patch notes.

my carpal tunnel says necro

Hard to tell without patch notes, but I think I'm gonna go SSF Oni-Goroshi Cyclone Slayer. I've done some test runs with it and it can get to red maps at lvl 70 with SSF gear, so it should be a safe choice for early mapping at the very least. If I find a soul-tether i transition to dual oni-goroshi jugg. The second option -- heavily dependent on patch notes gutting necro/spell slinger -- is VD necro.

probably a Brain Rattler full conversion Ground Slam JUGG with Ryslatha's Coil and Supercharged cluster notable. i either hit like a wet noodle or i am Godzilla incarnate.

thinking of going chaosslinger, oni-goroshi tect slam/ cons path or some mines.

IDK maybe ball lightning miner since everyone was that last league for some reason

Guess its time for another flicker.

Melee

Gonna try vortex/wintertide trickster... if it turns out bad will respec too ca/tr trickster.

the games progression through maps forces you to weed out bad builds. bad builds are ones that cannot progress. if they can, that is what maps force you to do, really min/max your build.

you can make any skill work until end game and "beat" path of exile, but doing funky stupid shit all together as one will of course never do it because it isn't a real build

Really dude, you are better than this elitist crap. My refusal to grind as much as a streamer does not make a build bad. Crappy code does not make a build bad. Finding creative interactions used to be the whole point of the game.

Making maps a convoluted mess does not test a build at all, it just makes an arbitrary hoop to jump through. You chose to jump through it, great, your choice. But let's be clear, spending time grinding and min maxing is a choice for players. If it is necessary, then it is not a good build, it is just a build that has had raw stats thrown at it.

Thinking toxic rain trickster, or a VD necro if it survives the nerfbat
