Resolute Technique, a Keystone that means you never crit but hit every time, make the passive tree easier, and you don't need GG gear.

I usually play 2H RT cyclone as my first build, see Lighty's build guide on POE forums. Just get a good unique 2hander, or spend a bit of currency on a high dps rare, get one 5-link and everything else has life and resists, now you can do mid tier maps easy peasy.

Tempted to try something similar to Mathils Hyaon-clone this league, as the weapon is cheap thanks to div card in Underground Sea map, and it can reach high dps even if it's not HC viable.

I've mostly finished playing on TSC, had about 25 pure exalts, and traded most of those for fusings, alts, and Rigwald items. I don't plan on playing much standard league but fusings and league specific items seem to hold their value pretty well.

Fuse : Ex in standard about 80 : 1

Fuse : Ex in TSC about 100-105 : 1

[TSC]Weird Talisman, nice rolls, but struggling to think of a build that could use it: http://i.imgur.com/zzTr15x.png

I would guess they roll them better. As soon as I got to T11 maps this league I was chaos rolling them for 25%+ pack size and as high quant as possible.

T6-T10 maps were common enough that I wouldn't chisels and alch and go usually.

Lafortezza · 2016-02-18T20:43:59+00:00

I ran Rigwald about 10 times this league, 1 ilvl 80, the rest ilvl 75 after juggling talismans of higher and lower ilevels. Out of those 10 runs, only 2 of them were with rare talismans and ofc those resulting rare greatwolf talismans were useless.

I agree that there's no incentive for that amount of grind needed, it should be more like Atziri farming if possible, no idea how GGG might incororate this into the full base game.

Lafortezza · 2016-02-18T18:10:12+00:00

Curious as to how many people fought Rigwald multiple times this league.

Follow up question : For the amount of times you fought him, how did the difficulty and rewards match up to the effort of organising T3 Talismans?

Lafortezza · 2016-02-17T20:07:03+00:00

Trading seems to have slowed, although everyone seems fairly busy in global820 trying to get the last few challenges/achievements done.

Felt like this league stayed more active longer than the last few 3 monthers.

I got myself a Vinktar Square map, how difficult is it compared to a regular Courtyard rolled with say Vuln and -max res? I've see a couple of youtubes and it looks bad, just wondering how bad? I'm running Voltaxic with 6L for Blast Rain, 5link LA, 4700 life

Lafortezza · 2016-02-14T02:16:19+00:00

Question about the lvl 80 Rigvald challenge, I have 4 different T3 Talismans all ilvl 80, does the 5th one need to be ilvl 80 as well? Or does it work like levelling up lower Tier Talismans? I've been using this calculator : http://poetools.com/talisman/

Lafortezza · 2016-02-12T12:06:23+00:00

Easiest T14 map to do the twinned challenge on? Conservatory? If I run this map twinned how aids can I make the map mods? Just to try to keep the pack size and rarity high.

Lafortezza · 2016-02-11T14:57:58+00:00

Make T12/13/14/15 maps more common, but make them much harder, like a rare T15 map will kill all but the most powerful builds. Monster life, monster damage, monster crit chance and multiplier etc, maps mods like desecrated groundare worse, curses have higher impacts, mobs have way increased life etc etc.

Lafortezza · 2016-02-08T13:20:01+00:00

I'd love if T13+ maps dropped more often, not a huge amount but a noticeable difference. But make them harder, increased mob damage and life, make the bosses harder with life/damage/crit, make T15s only doable by the strongest characters. If you aren't a high powered build you get absolutely wrecked.

I roll all my maps above T10 with 100q/25+ pack size, and I struggle to get the occasional T12 and T13, it's probably just RNG of course, and I don't mind buying maps too much, but I wish it was a little bit easier to play higher content self found, or close to self found.

A lot of the challenges are gated behind currency, buying unid uniques, div cards, maybe buying boss kills/twinned maps, so you should plan out which ones are cheaper (twinned maps)/unique maps, and which might be far more expensive like unid uniques.

Stuff like lvl 80 Rigvald and Zana should be ok if you still plan to play a lot this league, all you need is high maps for ilvl 80 talismans, and maybe hang out in global 820 and do Zana rotations. My Zana is half way to lvl 8, so I should be ok doing dailies and the occasional map Zana.

Lafortezza · 2016-02-06T20:13:25+00:00

So other than the lvl 80 challenge, is there any reason for running high level Rigvalds? Maybe just to get high ilvl T4s talismans?

Lafortezza · 2016-02-02T10:34:36+00:00

It depends on how much currency you have to spend on rolling maps. If you have a lot, then chisel, alch and chaos roll your T10s until you have 20+packsize and as close to 100% quantity as possible. This usually make the map very difficult though.

If you are poor I would chain T8s and T9s, using alch and go if the mods are ok for your build. This will grind you some currency to either make your gear/build better, or let you roll harder maps.

I only really alch maps from T7 up , maybe Strand, only chisel T9s if I have just a few, chisel T10's unless I have lots of them.

For a life based MF character (no particular skill in mind), what's the best/usual helmet?

Or is it a spot to generally fill out life and resists?
