Out of curiosity... what's everyone thinking they'll league start in 3.25?

Warden because Oath of Winter sounds hilariously broken and maybe tinctures will be good (they look really, really bad tbh.) Everything will be permafrozen even with low league start damage. Yeah it's no Occultist PC stacker powerhouse freezer but it should be fun. If Warden sucks I can play Pathfinder with the 1c Eater boots and the new anoint that makes all damage poison and go to town, or just play Deadeye.

Everyone is going to be sitting in the Ralakesh waiting room on league start because 90% of endurance charge enjoyers will be using them. If GGG moved them to T0 it will be pandemonium. Replica Badge of the Brotherhood is going to be popular as well and I hope I can snag one before a streamer makes a video.

If the league is fun I'm looking at Berserker as a second character.

Theorycrafting a rage-stacking bleed dual wielding Gladiator using the two Rigwald weapons - or the Rigwald sword with Jack, the axe. Numbers look decent, but I have to wait for all of the PoB updates. There's a lot of shit that doesn't work yet.

Using what skill?

Wild strike warden... I haven't learned my lesson yet.

Me too, made my POB already but I plan to use wild strike of the extremes. Seems decent offense and defense wise

not melee, because prices of weapons like claws will be through the roof this league :D

I think you're forgetting that the recombinator is back this league. You can just make your own weapons; the recombinator should be able to produce some pretty broken shit. If you were wanting to play melee, I think you can still play melee.

Not sure if i'll league play at all. They took away my beloved Burning Arrow Raider from me, and i really don't know how to adapt./s

Can't you use the new Warden ascendancy instead? Oath of Summer, Avatar of the Wilds, Mother's Teachings, and Lesson of the Seasons?

How do you plan to get around the energy shield casting cost?

Thanks for this reply and pointing this out. So far i didn't look at the new Warden Ascendancies, maybe i should really.

Volcanic Fissure of Snaking Juggernaut, totally new to it and it seems hella fun for aoe + simple, also new buffs, warcry and rage stuff, seems good.

2nd option is Lightning Strike "Raider".

Not quite sure yet, I actually planned to use a blizzard crown, might switch it to necromancer circlet. EB solves the issue and the reservation efficiency of the item should let me reserve one aura on top, that should make up for the extra cold and invert resistance.

Haven't settled on one yet, but I think I've PoB'd them all at this point :P

I've got a couple of PoBs lined up for characters but many of them are bad ahahahaha I really need the full update to check the numbers properly. I've got some great 2nd characters but as a league starter its starting to look like a bonking zerker tbh
