Build of the Week Season 2 Episode 10: Snapshotting

@Mohun & ultraZel: Thanks for the info. The RF I probably could have figured out but it's sometimes hard to keep up with the abbreviations when you don't read the forums on a regular basis.

Completely untrue.


Agree! Untrue!

Played 2 summoners on invasion at the beginning of the league... First ripped at 72, 2nd at 79 (both stupid mistakes on my part though). No snapshotting and only used 4L's (zombies in +2 minion helmet though). Seemed ok to me tbh.

Edit: with the end of snapshotting, this might be worth something:

So we turned Gorge into a red map"

"great idea", how much your summoners die again on next league ? minions always die in hi tier maps with hard mobs and bosses, pple who talk other just run 66-70 tier and never see big self currency for buy and play good, strong and fast with snapshot, your opinion based on 5L max, stop say lie - you never see strong minions you dont know what it, 4L enough for minions VS white mobs on any tier on maps but not VS bosses and hi qantity hard maps rols
after snap die summoners need somethine good for play like before, i dont know what... i NOT DEFEND snapshot - really, but we need buff without it, in other side - i hope GGG have somethine for us what we dont know, otherwise summoners die how good play build

all uniq items for summoners die, except montregul maybe, why you give us very rare corrupted sidni, tabula, scullhead ? then to pick back ?
Hi

Snapshotting is a minority, I sure hope all these months of hard work isn't just going to fix that, what about that better trading system we been promised for... how long?

Snapshotting could have been fixed more easily if GGG took a hard stance and just put a bloody cap on aura usage and a few other things but no lets take the long roundabout route that probably cost way more then the above mentioned idea.

Nonetheless I suppose good job.

Only reason I started snapshotting was because of how silly Invasion League was originally. So I decided to fight fire with fire...
GGG listens to its fans!!! Thank you!
ggg need to fix spells in 50+ ex builds
some multicast may help, with 2 cast at lvl 1-20 and 3 at lvl 21+
I am glad that snapshotting will be gone. I used to use the BMchest +Alphas howl to put on more auras in the beginning (old auras, must miss them), then it was fixed by re-casting auras on zoning.
Now it's good that this is recognized as poor design choice and will get removed.

About possible balance effect, i don't think any additional balancing is required. Summons are not supposed to be immortal. Getting a specter and keeping it alive forever, i would consider it as a bug. Some other builds might get hurt to the extent from OP to OK, nothing else.

I am not speaking on behalf of someone else and I don't get offended by things that have nothing to do with me.
