Playing SST Blood Magic Bleedbomber and Loving It

Wow, SST bleed explosion is meta now? It was my first SST build back when SST came out. :)
Have fun with it.

Hm. That might be a big thing - you specified "comfortably farming red maps". Comfort is relative - people want their red maps to feel like white maps by the time their build is done, 'comfortable' means being able to cruise through the map without an ounce of concern.

That's still doable for most builds if you sink enough currency into them, but I'm not sure how great it is for long-term game health. Red maps are the closest an overwhelming majority of this game's playerbase are ever going to get to "endgame", especially after they removed the Elder and the ability to fight an endgame-style boss in map tiers below 16 more than once a league. I feel like it should be okay for red maps, especially heavily juiced high-tier reds, to feel a little more tense than random transmute-and-go whites.

I'll admit, I'm a slower player and I'm absolutely terrible at making currency so I don't often get to the point where I can just ignore everything on a crazy amped-up T16 red map, but by the same token running those maps is exciting specifically because I have to pay attention. At least for me. If a build becomes so good it can slobbernock max-amped reds without a care that's cool...but also usually means it's time to move on.

Is what it is, I suppose.
