I kinda feel like the normal mappers finding breeches outweighs the elite who can power level zana like that but I don't have proper data and I am curious. I'll be watching the market and see if I can gleam any info on how many people can actually power level zana like that and if the hand of thought and motion price drop down to 1c slows down noticeably because of it or not

Well in that case it might be feasible, yeah. I won't be able to play this weekend so I'm forcefully going to start league in day 3, will look prices then decide. Always wanted to play a HOWA build (didn't do it when it was hyper OP and kind of feel bad)

This build looks good except for the fact that there are no breach zana mod in this league.
So HOWA price is going to skyrocket (or more precisely, the blessing).

Feels Bad Man

Think you're right.
Day 2 or 3 in league (almost?) noone has/had Zana lvl 8.
Furthermore there are a lot of new devination cards, that give breach related stuff.
So (depending on drop rates of these cards of course) breach domains/breach items might not be rarer then before imo....

Seems like an interesting build, I'll probably respec my beastiary leaguestarter to this at some point.

One small thing I noticed is that you have purity of elements and overcapped resistances while using Atziri's Reflection. That shield also has "Unaffected by Curses" so there's no need to overcap the resistances, so you can run another aura or herald instead.

edit: I just realized I had wise oak active while looking at resists... so maybe you just wanted to be resist capped even unflasked.

With zana mod removed getting the weapons will be a bit hard and very very expensive cant see this build working out this league. Looks good though

I'm 40% overcapped while using wise oak and 5% overcapped when not using anything. I always make sure to be capped without flasks active as yes bad things can happen

This has been asserted but in every past league claws were already dropping down to affordable prices very very early in the league before people have a level 8 zana to force breach. The market actually gets a decent amount just from the breaches that naturally occur during all the mapping. Its entirly possible that the loss of zana breach means that the claws won't get down to its 1c cost but that doesn't make them expensive
