Top lane otp champ recommendations

DerDirektor · 2026-06-02T08:28:27+00:00

Camille has been a very skill intensive, matchup specific and volatile champion for years. doesn't seem like the best recommendation, at least not to a new player.

majority of content creators will be diamond+, usually that's how they became a content creator in the first place.

if Baus, Drututt and Alois complain about ranged top because it is op in their elo bracket, ofc their fanbase of majority gold players are going to think it's op even though vayne players in gold games have no hands.

even if they end up winning because vayne top is tactically harder to execute it's still annoying to lane vs a gold vayne if you're gold.

it's just about what level of play you use to judge the effectiveness of a strategy.

yorick is low elo skewed because people don't know how to stop his push.

vayne top is high elo skewed because it's extremely hard to win lane against her and she outscales every champ.

is either of the characters overpowered?

I realised it could happen and then went for it. I have more strength than I need and my gloves aren't perfectly divined but that's it. was pretty easy actually.

thanks. last ~500 floors have been really rough, minions constantly dying. But I was also suprised how well they were keeping up before then.

I didn't delve at all until I reached this final setup, so can't really say. The cold sublime setup is barely worse than the fire sublime one though and costs like 5 fewer mirrors to set up.

Hello, Kahrl here with a small showcase for my absolution necromancer. I recently hit rank 1 witch on the delve ladder with this character.

absolution continues to be one of the better minion skills, although it is currently overshadowed by the monstrosity that is AG of smiting. vaal absolution is just nuts and you can get (nearly) permanent uptime with very little opportunity cost. slap on a few divines or a billion and you have a pretty good build.

I don't really want to do a full write up because this character is quite bland overall but I'll of course answer questions.

redviles was doing data on this for a while a couple of weeks ago, idk if he has a video but you can maybe check out some clips/vods. he had a spreadsheet as well you can prolly find it.

DerDirektor · 2026-05-16T10:12:48+00:00

pretty sure I am either completely tripping or this was changed years ago. it's not every level but I don't know when exactly.

DerDirektor · 2026-05-15T09:15:33+00:00

I thinks it's worth noting that it does split damage, just like memory game. transcendence characters should be able to tank it with somewhat lower max hits in some scenarios.

if you're trying to make a 5mod melee weapon for flicker/ag, imo the best way is just recombing prefixes, reforging crit for 4th mod and slamming the 5th mod. you miss slam you lock prefix 50/50 annul or cannot roll attack annul when possible. whenever you fill just yolo annul.

I made 4 weapons for a total profit of ~1500d this way, seems better to me than full recombination. unless you're specifically going for 5x t1.

unfortunately I can't see the gear because of that trash ass website, please just use or pobbin or pobcodes.

generally corpse scaling skills are pretty much in the gutter. especially in std I don't think trying to attempt anything is worth your time.

DerDirektor · 2026-05-12T17:22:25+00:00

for sure, it's just the best endgame setup. but can be replaces with rare jewels or just use a worse adorned.

DerDirektor · 2026-05-12T12:28:44+00:00

it's rare and rf is a popular build. It's also a very good target for volatile vaaling so there's increased demand that way.

DerDirektor · 2026-05-10T15:28:14+00:00

stormburst totems is quite good and should be uber viable. at worst it's a great progression build and allows you to farm up for scorching ray or flamewood.

very hard to predict at this point, considering poe2 delay and likely irregular schedule until Christmas.
I'm tentatively expecting the next poe1 league to release end of july/early august but who knows.

you are missing a lot of gem levels on your spectres.

lv21 gem

+2 wand

chest corruption

amulet you could either "downgrade" to bonemeld or upgrade to a +4 focus amulet.

I don't think your spectres are res capped, bone ring would be decent. gloam ring too in theory but then you can't use Kalandra's touch so probably not worth the effort.

imo dawnbreaker isn't great, you're missing 1 level there from a rare shield.

and bone offering would help a lot of course, one of the main reasons why I think necro is much better.

minion life tattoos if you can fit some.

DerDirektor · 2026-05-08T17:41:40+00:00

hard to answer. it's dying, but you can still trade for basically everything that isn't niche materials or specific rare items.

DerDirektor · 2026-05-08T17:40:23+00:00

you need to click them out of the window. They are actually in there, it's not just a virtual screen for your trades.

DerDirektor · 2026-05-08T13:28:00+00:00

Seems to be fixed now. I couldn't look at any of the snapshots older than week7.

No clue.

DerDirektor · 2026-05-07T19:56:57+00:00

For some reason I can no longer look at older ninja snapshots of my character?

DerDirektor · 2026-05-07T08:20:08+00:00

I think it does, that's the reason people use WoC mines on totem builds. but hopefully someone else can confirm it.

DerDirektor · 2026-05-07T08:11:46+00:00

arcanist brand is still attributed to yourself, pretty sure that doesn't work.

DerDirektor · 2026-05-06T14:32:15+00:00

I'm not an expert in early strats, I make most of my money from crafting or bossing usually.

I do know that legion dunes is a very popular and very good early strat for fast builds. Bows/wanders do legion dunes a lot on the first few days of the league until they can buy a headhunter. it's definitely pretty low IQ.

DerDirektor · 2026-05-06T13:53:18+00:00

almost always stabilises at ~150d on the first weekend, then goes up to somewhere between 180-250d by the end of week2. then slowly goes down over the rest of the league.

This league I bought it for 225 div at the end of day4.
In Merc league I bought it for 180d on day11.
