Stun Ground Slam Berzerker, not worried about patch notes, my fav skills getting a buff and the league is looking fun. Mark_GGG 2012 If you put on your full plate mail, and I throw hundreds of toothpicks at you, you'll basically not feel it. If someone catapults a whole tree at you, don't expect the Armour to prevent as much of the damage.	Posted by Auxion#3183 on Jun 15, 2020, 8:28:24 AM Quote this Post
Electric Skeletons/Spectre Necro https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2855844 Super low curency, ez mode leveling. Not the fastest, but oh so smooth. Bosses just melt. P.S. I may choose the zombie/spectre variant mentioned at the end of my guide, as its less clicking, and I am having some repetitive motion injure issues.

A new or below average player would be well served to follow a meta build guide step by step. Like it or not the game is balanced to be hard enough not to be trivial to the streamers. Grinding Gear Games is the publisher and they chose that name for a reason. If you think you can do well off the meta and not spend time perfecting your gear you have the wrong game. Regarding my upcoming build I always wait for the patch notes to decide. I have not done a slam build or a self cast build in a while and I like to mix things up. Although in a crafting league I might go straight to my push build instead of using a starter.

need patch notes. I'm just a console peasant so I get to wait 5 days after PC launches so i can ninja builds and see what seems to be strong and go with one of those I guess.	Posted by Anton__Chigur#9285 on Jun 15, 2020, 8:24:56 PM Quote this Post
After the Manifesto release.... so many dead dreams in this topic :( I was toying around with a couple of ideas and they all just got dumped on by GGG. The worst issue for me is that the uber-rich will be able to overcome many of these problems by purchasing elite gear, while once again the poor get screwed over. Yay - fun!

Although in a crafting league I might go straight to my push build instead of using a starter. Indeed, this game was built on grinding. They have become very popular because of it. What is funny, it used to be much harder. A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
