Oni-Goroshi in Current League - are You gonna farm it or drop it?

I also play SSF. I mostly did SSF even before the mode got added as an official option, but since then, I don't think I've bothered to make any character that wasn't SSF. And no, I don't ever migrate them to the trade leagues either.

Same here. Once i tried trading, was not good experience but that was before official SSF mode.

Another poor exile pounding the sand of the Twilight Strand Beach:

Level 7 and no UH yet.


Level 8 and no UH yet.


Oh Uber Hillock... Ubie... please come out and play!
Rats! No UH yet... sigh!

Ah, finally there you are.


Staying in close to keep UH from leaping and spawning his minions is easy with the changes in Legion League. He is a slow brute. Just circle strafe UH until dead. Only 1 Leap Slam at 10% health.


Shoot and move, shoot and move (rinse and repeat).
Burn baby burn!


Ah... another Charan's Sword... fantastic.



UH killed in 1 minute 25 seconds (not too shabby). Practice makes perfect. OG #22.
89% crit chance, also fantastic.

I have to wonder why the Syndicate would allow Hillock to be a member if he's that stupid as to never learn that he can't win any beach battles.

So my Oni-Goroshi grind is over for Metamorph League. To those who are still pounding sand, never give up, never give up.

Have a great day exiles.

There's probably another build somewhere in here but what builds are people enjoying with oni-goroshi?

Looking at poeninja it seems like the vast majority play cyclone duellist or techtonic marauder, but neither are really gelling with me - I've played cyclone a LOT and techtonic isn't my favorite build.

Anyone got anything else they like playing with oni? I tend to like builds on the tankier side.

As a general cyclone fanboy, I honestly don't know a lot of other builds for Oni-Goroshi.
Then again, anything that can use a sword should work... Blade Flurry, Perforate, Bladestorm, Shattering Steel... Infernal Blow also used to be rather popular with it, though that might have to do with mathil having done it at some point. Heck, even viper strike could work (maybe quite nicely so if you use Volkuur's Guidance?).
If you're looking for a tanky build, then cleave could work, it's threshold jewel gives fortify on hit after all.
I think someone even used flicker with it back in the day, but I don't know how well that idea went.


On a completely unrelated note, I've been wondering today... is the dedicated Oni-Goroshi farming global chat channel still active? It's been a while since I last farmed for Oni-Goroshi, but if I were to do it again, I need something that keeps me from losing my mind. That channel was perfect for that.

I wouldn't recommend it. Oni Goroshi suffered from power creep and this league there are cheaps 6L everywhere.

I'd mostly do it just because. You're talking to one of the few people who crafted The Goddess Unleashed using the old recipe, simply because I wanted to have it (I still have it).

Got it about 10 mins after hitting level 7 on 4 chars, which took 4 or 5 hours. Seems I got lucky. I farmed another to corrupt with the remaining 3 chars which took another few hours, but I bricked it.

Good question. Now that I finally got one for MetaMorph with plenty of time left the 64¢ question (much better than 10¢... sorry GGG but Chinese gov. is bad... but damn, we need them for our electronics...sigh!) is what build to use that has any chance of working in the endgame to get to level 90+?

Im experimanting with my own ideas and put them to the test and want to see how far i can get. But right now with all those crashes i cannot.
