Some leagues it is a lot of work for sure. Sometimes because GGG makes big changes, sometimes because the creator makes build changes. But now that GGG does their Twitch reveal so early, it saves us so much time. My family is especially thankful for the extra time I have during league launch week :) Thanks for your kindness! Good luck with your league start as well! https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Annnnnd Wrecker of Days' One-Stop-Shop: Stress-Free Builds (& Filters): 1-Button, HC SSF, Item Freedom: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3467875	Posted by Wrecker_of_Days on Jan 31, 2022, 9:04:24 PM Quote this Post
" internationalfish wrote: Spoiler Awesome, stoked to play this again! I've been doing a bit of characteristically slow league start practice, and I found that taking four nodes to snag Robust and its two surrounding regen nodes made sustaining RF a bit earlier much more comfortable (along with running a temporary Stone Golem). I think I'll probably do that and then spec out of it as Vitality and gear catch up. Last time (before the big tree update), I ended up with a belt full of fun triggered flasks; this time I'm hoping to roll them a little more aggressively, for charges gained when hit rather than decreased charges used. Guess we'll see how that works out, provided Instilling Orbs decide to grace me with their presence. :) Hey, internationalfish! It's always a pleasure :). Good call on the Robust cluster. It's hard ignoring so much nice regen when doing default tree. It's nice to see people use them ;). I know, right!? Instilling ORbs seem to drop for everyone but me as well! Good luck with your league start!

" MaMMatus82 wrote: Spoiler Hello Wrecker, thank you for your guides. I played your zombie build last league and was really very satisfied. Unfortunately I didn't get any further than yellow maps, but that's no longer important. My question is why Chieftain and not Templar? Is it specifically defensive? Thank you and have a good start to the league. Hey, MaMMatus82! Thanks for the thanks! I'm sorry the zombies didn't seem to suit you. Hopefully, this one treats you better. The reason I chose the Chief instead of Inquisitor is that I like the Chief ;). That's it. Preference. The mechanics are more interesting but also more steadfast. The Chief's theme has almost never changed. And though the Inquisitor's theme hasn't really changed either, that ascendancy has gone through a makeover so many times. I expect the Over Powered nature of the Pious Path branch to get cut down soon. It's too strong (in my opinion). Regarding the Chief, I like the life regen, leech, Endurance Charges, natural fire res., fire damage, and interactive mechanics that come with change. But it's just preference. Does that answer your question? Or did I misunderstand? I hope your league launch goes well as well!

Despite impatience I will probably do first act with the witch though for the skill gems, I remember struggling a little with the missing skills on my test drive. Very good suggestion you included there. Hey, Elocara! You noticed the Witch additions in Levelling! Nice! I'm curious to see how many people use it. The levelling section is really long, and I really didn't want to make it longer...but I did. Let us know how it goes! This league start, I'm starting Bone Zombies as a Guardian. I want to see how that goes.

Hi Wrecker_of_Days, glad to see your build ready again for this new league ! Slotting in Determination really does the trick; it feels so much safer now. For those who'd wish for even more tankiness, I suggest dropping one damage wheel to allocate Sovereignity and slot in Tempest Shield, for both spell block and immunity to shock. You can push this further up with picking some block from the Sanctuary wheel, and even Glancing Blows if you decide to use a shield with life recovery on block (but that's another budget!). Very strong starter build, easy to play, easy to tweak to fit your playstyle !	Posted by PoitelMarto on Feb 1, 2022, 9:35:34 AM Quote this Post
I havent played in a few leagues. Im thinking about playing this league but crappy league starter always kills my desire to stick with it. Is this a pretty decent league starter? Can i make it to maps in less than 8 hours with this? Does it clear at least up to low red maps easily ? I play trade league so it will be easier to gear. I normally play witch or templar but i want to play a mara this league. How is the clear ?	Posted by Artaniz on Feb 1, 2022, 11:24:20 AM Quote this Post
" seggo wrote: Spoiler Hey mate, just wanted to share a few words here. I always played the "standard" leaguestarters or some "OP at that time builds" in the past leagues, usually up to 36/40 or even 40/40 achievements. I wasn't really happy with the past few league-mechanics, so i dropped 3.16 pretty fast. I stumbled upon your build and decided to try it out a bit in the December events in HC SSF and had a lot of fun progressing with it. I also tried it for a while in 3.16 league after the events. And with the changes i will most likely give it a go in 3.17. I like the playstyle, the "i don't have to care about perfect resistance rolls because my fire res is already capped" and the mostly free choice in items. What bugged me the most about some other builds i played before was the "i need 35%+ res on this already 5ex item to make it work", just to get to the point i want to upgrade some other item where i have similar restrictions like "at least 33 dex" or else. The freedom is (or at least feels) much higher with this build and i love the lack of never ending hours in front of trade windows to fiddle with resistances or stats. Sure, maybe the Inquisitor version could get higher damage numbers, but in exchange the res/stat restrictions would be higher again + RF would be usable much later. Sometimes you just have to play what you enjoy most, not what is most efficient or meta :) Really appreciate the work you put into this, thanks a lot! Oh, that's great, seggo! (I'm replying in 3.17's thread.) That's a really kind message. Thanks so much for taking the time to pass it on. My builds and guide style aren't for everyone, but there are a lot of us out there that find fun in the freedom of the game. It's hard to find guides for this game that suit one's style, so I'm glad you found one that really clicks with you! I hope you enjoy 3.17's changes. I think this build is going to be great for it! I'm excited! https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Annnnnd Wrecker of Days' One-Stop-Shop: Stress-Free Builds (& Filters): 1-Button, HC SSF, Item Freedom: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3467875	Posted by Wrecker_of_Days on Feb 1, 2022, 3:06:08 PM Quote this Post

I normally play witch or templar but i want to play a mara this league. How is the clear ? Hey, Artaniz! In 3.16, you could start the league with this build and finish it. It could do whatever you wanted in the Atlas. It's not a fast league starter though. So if you've never started a league with RF before, you won't get to end-game right away. The first three acts are slow unless you get a couple of gems as a Witch first (in the levelling section of the guide). If you've league-started with RF before, you'll be able to get to end-game pretty quickly (via trade and familiarity). I hope that helps you decide. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Annnnnd Wrecker of Days' One-Stop-Shop: Stress-Free Builds (& Filters): 1-Button, HC SSF, Item Freedom: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3467875	Posted by Wrecker_of_Days on Feb 1, 2022, 3:19:29 PM Quote this Post
Ahhhhh my bad my bad i didnt see it was an RF build. Ya im familer and probably would just go like molten balls or something for the early acts or even flame wall righteous fire totem like i used to for league start plus just joining random groups to plow the content. So RF is viable again i thought it had taken some pretty hefty nerfs a couple leagues back and was pretty DoA after they really shit on everything in what was it 3.14 or something. Thanks for the response though i might still go with this i have played some RF in the past.	Posted by Artaniz on Feb 1, 2022, 3:52:38 PM Quote this Post
