Pretty keen to try this build this league.

Just to clarify, this build can do full uber key runs at what level?

I've done the Uber Lab at L70-L75 as soon as I finished Act 10 and then spent 60min in the Global 820 chat room, taking invites to get the completed 6 lab trials. I did it in Harbinger softcore and both 10-day Harbinger softcore races (Mayhem and Turmoil) with this build without any of the listed unique's other than the writhing jar flask, with the exception of skipping Izaro, as I only had a bit over 4k life at the time. Gauntlet runs and totem-escort tasks can be a bit sketchy without the uniques once you have first levelled to 70 and finished act 10, but all you just need to make sure you survive is spam your flasks. The time it takes to level to 70 and afford the gear after a bit of mapping/labbing is usually 2-4 days all up, so by day 4 you'll be tanking through the Uber Lab easily and as often as you like for full key run's. A full key run though right off the bat in your first Uber Lab attempt without any of the uniques is probably going to take you 25-35min. Once you get the alternate weapons though (Brightbeak/PrismaticEclipse), that time is drastically reduced down to one of the fastest possible speed running times.

FWIW, I was able to afford the gear completely via selling nothing other than quality gem's in the Harbinger League - and that was via nothing other than walking in and out of the first room to the left (or right) of the first zone inside the Merciless Lab & popping open the loot box or completing the tile puzzle (which ever spawn's there). It costs nothing to do and you'll have half a premium quad stash tab filled with them inside of an hour of farming the area over and over. It's easy money and you can do it all week long for the first week of any new league or race and earn upwards of 50 chaos an hour doing it, with ease.

What do you think about using the new Vulnerability curse instead of Punishment?

Thanks! Going to give it a go!

Is there any potential here for a skill other than Sunder now than Ancestral Call is a thing? I was thinking Wild Strike...Since it has better single target, and maybe even better clear speed than Sunder..Hmm

What is the highest map tier you finished with this build?

Will you be updating the skill tree links? After the Path of Building update the links don't seem to import properly anymore. I'm afraid to place any more points and make a mistake! :)

Thanks!

The skill tree and point progression you take is included in the build guide video - first Youtube link in the top of the opening post of this thread.

Has anyone tested the new vulnerability vs punishment as to what is better?

Update Time:

Well, I'm done for day 1 of the new league now, using this build as my league starter. No more time to play unfortunately.

It's been a very easy cruise playing solo today to the Sarn Encampment (start of Act 8) so far and I'm sitting on Level 58 at the moment with the first Lab complete already. Gonna do the Cruel Lab first thing tomorrow, then try and finish Act 8/9/10 and get into some mapping if i have the time. There's been absolutely no noticeable difference from last season in terms of health or DPS while levelling up so far. It's been a piece of cake. So clearly the bug fix and couple of minor nerfs haven't amounted to anything in the end. If anything, the skill tree nodes for Onslaught and other buffs going up from a 3 second application to now a 4 second application is helping speed things along and keeping the DPS ramped up a bit.

Normal Lab was a goldmine today when I did it. I came out of it with over 25 different 14% quality gem's or better, and about 30 chaos worth of currency drops. I'll be able to afford all the gear for the build before I even level to 70 at this rate!!!

Full pricing for the build is looking like it will be cheap at this rate. Day 1 prices for items in a new league are the most expensive they will ever be & so far, everything as of at the end of day 1 (for me at least anyway) is priced from 2 chaos - 15 chaos. Prices of everything should be a third of that within 48-72 hours, but between then and now, expect the unique Helm and unique Amulet to spike up to 40c before crashing down again - due to them being transition items used by a lot of other builds in the first few days of a new season. For what it's worth, I've bought the Writhing Jar flask, Atziri Step boots, Brightbeak and Prismatic Eclipse weapons for 10 chaos total so far today.

Hope your all enjoying the build and the new season.

I didnt update the PoB and assign my 7 points to wrong places shit.

Other than that your build goes amazing for me I'm really happy. But could you update the page with pictures of skill tree and ancestral call maybe.

The most important question I must ask is; Should I wait untill you update the guide for belts and new gems (and maybe even tree) before I made irreversible mistake?
