How were you nerfed? You're on Standard and your gear is legacy.

Okay, so here is where I am at right now:



The nerfs to minions/minion itemization seem to be a bit heavy handed. Red maps can be surprisingly RIP'y and the new delirium mechanic just has way to much incoming damage for the nerfed build. I'm slowly accumulating wealth to modify the build and move towards CI.

Here is my personal opinion. I think the only version of the Zombie build that is going to shine post nerf is the high strength CI variant which requires a heavy currency investment. They just went too far with the nerfs while at the same time adding more insta-gibbing content. Keep in mind, I am still clearing content but it's certainly not safe to XP. I think we'll see more people grinding the higher levels in pure breachstone rotations than ever. Not only is it just more efficient, there is much less risk of death.

I'm going to try my best to make it work.
Currently Im running double banner. Being able to get adrenalin Is quite big.
The content is absolutely over-tuned, the forums and reddit are just full of everyone saying the same thing and then the usual 3 elitists telling them all to gitgud.

Im dealing with the nerfs by going high life and physical reduction but again, your spot on, the nerfs were entirely over done.

Im pretty behind b/c I had to work 12hrs sat/sun and im not a quick player anyways, I stop and pick up everything b/c im just ocd. I still need a few things before I can safely say if my version is going to be full proof or not.

I do have my final skill tree nailed down and will be using 2 passives on the large cluster group, rotten claws and vicious bite, but on an 8 passive jewel that only requires an additional 5 points spent.

Yeah, the same "Elitists" that are probably doing their leveling in the 90s in pure breachstone rotations because red maps are too RIP'y especially if you are tempted by the delirium portal.

As it stands, the risk/reward is all out of balance. I'll bet most people run past the portals after learning not to mess with them. Nothing like taking it up to reward level 5 and having it drop a chromatic or two when the risk of death is losing like 20 minutes playing time. Here is what I do currently, I initiate the portal and see what the reward is. If it's not currency, gems, or something else that could be potentially very rewarding, I immediately push the cancel button.

Metamorphosis was A LOT less risk for much more reward. They really missed the mark on this one. Too much incoming damage and not enough risk vs reward for the portals to be worthwhile. That is, unless you are already 100, and don't give a crap about deaths.
Why do you guys use holy relic? is it that good?

Thanks for the video. It's just not realistic comparison because right now people are trying to figure out how to address the current league mechanics. You bring that build you have in the video right now into delirium and you would get absolutely shredded. It's not really a problem with the build but rather a compound problem as a result of super high damage in Delirium encounters, non-visible enemy on death mechanics, lack of visibility, and the over-zealous nerfing of this build and it's items.

Peruse through some of the comments in the thread below. Note the almost unanimous tone of the people commenting.

The Delirium nonsense will be nerfed, im not too concerned with that, everyone honestly can see that its just 100% broken.

GGG themselves even flat out said they broke something with 3.10 and they dont even know what yet so we are playing on an alpha league.

That being said I may just skip the delirium portals for a bit so I can level up and get my crab chest and start on my actual weapon. Id like to stop messing around and get to work b/c I do feel like this build will be pretty solid with the 213% increased life nodes I have and a shi* ton of defenses.

Yes, that's the point. I think everyone should be running with Vaal Molten Shell. It's a fantastic defence against all damage.
