Hall of Grandmasters Map clarification

Character Immortalised in Hall of Grandmasters Map

I think its pretty clear we can choose both the name of the exile we want to have in the map and how he looks like.

But how about his skills? Do we have a say in what set of skills he will be using?

I expect there will be heavy restraints on what exiles can use? Because allowing players to tailor exiles the same way we tailor our characters is just asking for a bad map.

Stuff like;

Elemental Proliferation, Elemental Equilibrium, Permanent double/triple cursing, fast attacking builds, Critical-centric builds, Puncture, skull summoning witch, Discharge coc builds, anything coc related actualy, 4 spectre multicast full summoner builds, Bubble guy summoner builds, Stun/freezing builds and many many other player made builds

can make the map unplayable. Fighting 2 or more exiles with builds that are made to complement each other: say a curse bot with curse on hit on split arrow (elem weakness, flamability, condutivity, frostbite) and a heavy hitter elemental spectral throw exile, is not going to be fun. at all.

Can you beat the grandmaster troll builds ? we will find out.

i do hope you can just choose the main skills, and ggg fills in the rest

that sounds awful....

I'm so glad they aren't scaling everything down in any way - what you submit is what goes in.


A really awesome and cool idea by GGG.

So will they release an intial version of the map and then patch in additional characters later?

just one more question pls.

so i dont need to literally have the gears? lets say i want a corroupted anvil with +1 max resist and the char will have it?

if yes good bye 500$ lol

Yes, sounds like you DO need the gear. It will literally be YOUR character. Whatever gear, skills, passives, and everything else that YOU actually have. You give them the name pf that character and they copy it. I think the only additional thing you can add is which pet you want it to have.

Going to be putting my max block/spellblocker Thorn Tank as my char when I work my way up to the pack. The lulz when people go balls out then insta gib.

I wonder if they will show tags like reflects damage or what not. I can see some serious rage from this map.
