Hello again everyone! Took a month off from the game and missed league start, but glad to see this build wasn't nerfed and you guys are still enjoying it.

Not sure if I'll do this for my 2nd character or not. Just started this weekend and decided on a rf chieftain for my starter. Got to maps tonight so tomorrow I can start farming.

welcome back!

BY skipping a month, you missed out on the rippiest league in a long long time :)

I think we are coming up on nerf #4 of the league in the next release. :)

This is the build from top of page 348:

Does the small numbers at the gems mean anything (20/0), is that a lvl20 gem with 0 in quality?

Cause some gems we stop leveling and for some quality arent needed.

So could you please clarify this so a noob like me could understand :)

When gems are listed, they are typically listed as X/Y where X is level and Y is quality.

In this build some gems benefit from quality while others do not require any quality. This is why you will see some with higher quality and some with 0 quality in the POB.

I can't list out every gem as it would take for ever but if you have any specific questions please ask, else just follow what the POB says exactly.

Thanks! That's what I hear! Don't think I saw this many complaints on reddit for Ultimatum even. That league I got lucky by choosing a Herald of Agony Guardian for a starter so while everyone hated the difficulty I breezed to my first level 100. Lol.

Did this build blow up real big or am I missing something. I played this build a few season ago and loved and playing it again and aegis is way way way more expensive then it used to be. Making getting this going a lot more frustrating.

This build did not blow up but the shield is extremely popular in some meta builds so it has sky rocketed in price.

Empower and Enlighten are cheaper now to offset the increase in the shield and we removed Unnatural Instinct from the build which alleviates a high cost item.

Everything else is roughly the same. The Inquisitor build does have a unique amulet that can be pricey to get a really well rolled one but you can get a starter one cheap enough to get you mapping deep in to reds.

Finding Iron Reflexes in my colors (3R 3B) on the Skin of the Lords is a nightmare this league. It is not that they are expensive, it is that they don't exist.

There are currently 196 Skin of the Lords in my colors and not a single one with Iron Reflexes.

They were relatively common last league. I can't figure out if this is just horrible rng drop rate or they are all simply being used on characters.

I grabbed a Glancing Blows Skin for now to save a passive point but I really want the Iron Reflexes to get more tanky. Even after 4 nerfs, these archenemies mods are still tricky at times.

i settled for one with iron will for a litle more damage for now, i just dont see me getting the correct watchers eye to rich for me

I am doing T16's, fairly juiced now, with out the end game watcher's eye so you won't need it unless you are looking to farm in the Simulacrum, which is probably the hardest content in the game.

I made some great progress today. I now have 3 pieces of gear that are pure end game and won't be touched again. Either perfect or near perfect rolls. The shield I did with only 3 divines! I threw 30% quality on all 3 and called it a day.

The 30% quality beasts are REALLY cheap. Did all 3 pieces for only 17c.

===========

Wow, really well done!

I'm skippimg this league, just spending some time in standard when i have free time.

I'm feeling a little bit tankier with Elemntalist, but I'm wondering....is it possible to set up gems links like the Inquisitor build ( so skipping the curse link with Hextouch and Flammability)?
