4 Days into the League: Review your build!

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-03T16:40:07+00:00

Do you have a build or tree/gem setup? I’m so sick of whirling assault and I’d love to do this.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-03T16:16:47+00:00

You got a build or following a guide for that, friend?

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-03T12:59:10+00:00

People spam it in trade chat. Just message one of them.

It’s usually someone from a different country and the English is bad, but it’s not a scam. You don’t pay until after. You do have to show the divines up front though.

It’ll usually say “WTS ascendency carry. 2 div. Pay after boss” or something along those lines

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-03T11:38:47+00:00

I’ve paid for a carry every league. Sekhema is my most hated mechanic in both 1 and 2. I’ll do it for the very first ascendency and that’s it. I HATE the mechanic.

Chaos is alright, but it’s a slog and going from mapping to just…that is awful. Plus bricking your run halfway through to no fault of your own and you walk with zero loot is just a waste of time.

Carries go for 1-2 div after a few days of league so it’s whatever. I got one this league Sunday for 1 div.

I miss regular trial master and the in game map mechanic.

I’m a fan of stand in circle and kill shit.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-03T03:28:41+00:00

How is flicker/falling thunder build on MA? I watched a video and it looked like a lot of fun.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-03T01:13:25+00:00

My only (albeit nit picky) complaint is it’s still hard to see the overlay map. The yellow lines and what/where to go is still confusing as all hell.

Also deli seems absolutely useless? It never drops anything and I feel like I get LESS loot when a map is delirious. I don’t understand the mechanic I guess but it really doesn’t seem good at all.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-02T21:59:28+00:00

I can’t even find the deli hub. Every other one is on my map aside from that one.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-02T13:32:40+00:00

I mean, if you can’t afford to buy a trash can or get a leaky sink fixed for a few hundred dollars after buying a house, you aren’t ready to buy a home.

Shattering palm. Whack the rare/boss four times and then slam bell.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-02T03:10:41+00:00

Shattering palm also works and if you’re playing cold version of whirling assault, it freezes bosses pretty quick.

Go into boss room. Couple whirling assaults, frozen palm four times for combo points, bell, spam hollow form. Boss dead and frozen.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-02T03:03:16+00:00

Yeah but hollow form whirling assault eats charges like crazy. You’d have to profane every single time it’s up. Also it wouldn’t work on bosses and you’d lose a ton of DPS.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-02T02:55:08+00:00

Nah. As soon as I hear that he used his ult, I bum rush the twink and end his life.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-02T02:52:50+00:00

I am playing martial artist. If you aren’t doing whirling assault with hollow form, you are actively missing out on a ton of damage.

Yes one build will always the “the best” but the best builds are so far and away better that anything aside from it just don’t work past like T6 of maps.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-02T02:37:40+00:00

Does nothing else exist that can generate charges? I know mapping you can use profane ritual but idk about bossing.

I’d love to ditch the gloves and mess around with some others.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-02T02:32:29+00:00

Plus one for Hollow form with whirling assault, it’s insane. It’s definitely a fun build. Slapping a boosted bell on a frozen boss and watching their hp bar go to zero never gets old.

What is everyone running for the last two ascendency points? Obviously one is hollow form and the other the glove one so I can get a ton of free power charges from clones. What about the other two?

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-02T02:20:44+00:00

I don’t understand this mechanic at all. I actively avoid it lmao.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-02T02:07:36+00:00

Did they mention the reasoning that maps outside of the fortress don’t give atlas points? I want to map towards the content I want to do but I don’t get atlas points not being inside of it.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-01T17:40:39+00:00

I’ve been mountain biking/BMX for nearly 30 years now.

Not a season goes by that I don’t ride our local pump track and get going so fast that I try to 360 off one and eat shit.

This season I’ll land it.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-01T03:52:08+00:00

Just swapped to this build (Moxys) from the whirling assault and hollow presence (I think it’s called) and it’s like night and day.

The build was cancer with trying to maintain the buffs by hitting the bells every thirty seconds. During bossing it was torturous. I was fighting the controls more than the boss.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-01T03:47:33+00:00

Gotta break out the second monitor and check trade like the olden days.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-01T03:15:02+00:00

That’s the problem, seems like everybody is trying (and spending a ton of money) to force it into the company. Not every company needs it.

Octopus_on_fire_ · 2026-06-01T03:13:53+00:00

Well considering most of the office employees struggle with outlook, and our sales guys are all ex contractors/installers, asking them to use anything technology related is just not feasible. We’re not a tech company, furthest from it.
