This is hands down most insane, best ever made expansion. Nothing comes close!

And speaking of league starters.... RF :(((


What builds?

Yes, RF might not be good as a league starter anymore to push into endgame, but it's gotten more potential damage now with investment into life and ES via int and strength stacking.

Mines and traps got some throwing speed nerfs, but most of the changed skill gems have received buffs, some more than others. A few support gems have received slight nerfs.

Curious to know what builds you're talking about.
I would reckon most people will be playing with transfigured gems this league since some of them are absolutely going to release in a broken OP state.

GGG took most of the current meta out back and shot it. Another reason to be happy that I haven't tried to min-max a standard character.
4 voidstones but no lab enchant was my go to playstyle. So this is a big W for me.

Probably a save bet, that some bosses will be instaphased this league sooner or later when someone figures out some crazy interaction with Lab Gems.

Yeah, also a friendly reminder to never invest to much time in standard, haha.

Wardloop is one of them, but what I am most sad about is the Rakiata's Frost Blades Build :( No more projectile speed so might have to sacrifice some nodes for Proj Speed (Assuming then how expensive tattoos will be)

Although when I look back, my HoA necro got a buff so yay at least <3

Adding to that, not sure how the new balances will affect my CoC Mahuxotl since that was kinda of precise too :S

i wonder how bad is to loose helm enchants for reservations enchants
I think this topic is WAY too hasty. It's prudent to withhold judgment until we know what kind of transfigured gems we will get. We've lost all alt qualities and helm enchants and i'd bet that most of the powerful alt qualities and helm enchants didn't make it. Moltenstrike losing +2 projectiles, Trauma support and Boneshatter losing attackspeed per charge etc. The chances of this "rework" being a thinly veiled nerf fest are pretty high if we look at past experiences.

In a league start scenario it's a buff to Boneshatter for sure(damage per Trauma stack). By the time you would have had your Divergent Gem + Lab enchant it's a nerf, yeah well.

My prediction: Tinctures on weapons or Pacifism curse will make it so that nobody cares about this slight nerf to endgame^^
