Hey guys, thanks for the vivid discussion and all your suggestions for tree/gear.
...

Nice Thanks for the Update, I'll start off the league with your Classic Tree.

What are the gears that you will recommend at the end. I noticed you mentionned Chin Sol and Death's Opus and the Drillneck, but what about the other gear slots and flasks.

I'm just trying to make sure I dont npc an item that I will need later while trying to reach to farm in DL.

Do I also follow the gems you have in Page 1?

What about Headhunter belt?

Sorry if I'm asking noob questions, Legacy will be my second league.

Gear is the same except bow. He talked about gem setup in the post you quoted.

Headhunter is obviously good if you can manage resist elsewhere as we already use a lot of unique items.

I saw the spoiler about the Gems on the Opus, but I was referring to other gears (helmet,glove,boot).

All good, if the gears are the same, then the gems also are from Page 1.

Thank you

Would you recommend the KotF as a starter build? I won't have as much time as I want to play this league, so ideally I do not want to roll 2 builds - a starter build and KotF build. Would you say this is a good starter build?

If its nearly as good as it was last league (and ppl say its not rly nerfed) it is.

Maybe not the best but it gets running pretty fast and scales awesome with more items.

Hey, Im a newbie, got to lvl 50 ish last league, but hoping to hit the new league hard! I'm going to be using your build to level, the classic version. Can you clarify the skill tree leveling progression? I noticed theres a few routes I can take, but being a newbie I don't know what takes priority.

Thanks!

Is Devotos or rats nest better ?

When i look around at builds like this, its mostly rats nest helmets i see people using.

1: So my question is, are devotos devotion BIS and why ?

2: And i thought about Cherrubim's Maleficence, would that be something to consider after the buff
"Cherrubim's Maleficence: Increased Chaos Damage mod increased to 50-80%."

Thats ALOT of damage... But then we cant call it King of the forest anymore :(

You need to screen shot these quickly, once the tree gets updated all of these links will be obsolete.

i like devoto more. it has more movespeed, chaos resist, dexterity. we do not need extra crit from rats nest so i think devoto is better

however you can just get a rare helmet with life resist etc. its totally fine. i just tried to maximize movementspeed, for which devoto is mandatory :D

yes that cherubims chest is sick damage, but another unique with no resist on it will make it almost impossible to get resist capped.




Guys I wish you all good luck with Legacy league launch today ! I will be very busy in the next few weeks so I can't check this thread that much. I think I gave all the important information in my newest post (link: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1738625/page/249/#p14237515) so you can play for 2.6 no problem.

Stay safe and have fun !

Does anyone have a quick summary of the best gems to quality by priority? Namely focused on the two potential 6L options (bow + chest).

What about Starkonjas instead of Devotos? Less movement speed. Damage wise it's a minor addition, but a lot of life.

"

also rats nest ugly :(

I miss the old rats nest:( very good starter build and endgame gl for everyone in new league.

Has anyone done a lot of uber izaro runs with this? wondering if its easy to do 4 key runs etc?

With Siosa providing all the gems now would anything at all change in terms of leveling progression?

When I switched from blade vortex to bladefall I found that i couldnt run hatred and HoA because I had like 2 casts of bladefall before OOM. Ended up switching back to HoT and HoA which felt a bit better.

Thoughts and tips on more efficient leveling from anyone would be awesome!
