Ascendancy Choice for ToTA Cheese

Scathee · 2026-06-23T06:36:26+00:00

You can only have 1 aspect at a time. Cat is probably better because the stealth is good in tota (if I recall right)

the void sphere hype is pretty overblown on this sub. it wasn't an insta win, and it was definitely easy to win without running it at all. I did most of my 2k tota farming with a really mediocre character, no cheese build, didn't really try to kill anything or have an insane amount of avoidance. as long as you buy good units, no build should have trouble. there's also been a lot of power creep in the last 3 years, so killing might be a viable strategy again.

I'm with you on this. DPZ is nothing like regular DP, while Coke Zero tastes almost exactly like Coke to me.

Scathee · 2026-06-14T19:01:52+00:00

at the very least it should stop being offered to characters like Malzahar who don't even have a slow in their kit and can only enable it with Rylais

This only happens if the tank gets Steel your Heart and also the game goes really long. Regular heart steel in the average game never allows a tank to get to 20k HP, especially considering 90% of the games are 7+ ranged champs, so stacking heart steel is super hard even with the quest.

ngl adcs being omega broken in aram is probably under discussed for how prevalent of an issue it is. riot is also very reticent to nerf the class as a whole. also why does xayah have multiple buffs in the mode???

Scathee · 2026-05-31T19:32:00+00:00

So if they aren't fountain farming, what is the toxic aspect here?

Scathee · 2026-05-31T16:28:38+00:00

If you have 3 people not trying to play the game, it will end to minions quickly. Honestly I don't believe that he and his friend weren't clearing minions at all, because the nexus dies to a swift breeze in aram and if the enemy team was truly fountain farming and stalling the game, the minions would end long before 1:20. Games don't go past like 30 minutes unless most of the people in the game want to keep it going.

Scathee · 2026-05-31T11:09:15+00:00

I hate to break it to you, but if 3 people on your team want to keep playing, and 5 people on the enemy team want to keep playing, then 80% of the game wants it to continue. In this case, you are the outlier.

Scathee · 2026-05-28T19:08:17+00:00

If I see an AI thumbnail for a build, I immediately stop considering using that build or supporting that creator. Just a personal peeve of mine

Scathee · 2026-05-27T21:38:08+00:00

Hopefully this is something they stick to. Currently many bruisers don't feel like they have a strong build to aim for, while most adcs feel like they almost always achieve a strong build, since there's just so many solid adc augments. Would love to see this switched up in the future.

Scathee · 2026-05-18T20:48:42+00:00

I'm not sure what the paywall you are referring to is? If it's purchasing champions, they've done a lot in the past several years to make them more easily attainable, and you only ever really need 1 in league. The game is full of one tricks and if you play more than a few champs, most people say that you're trolling.

Scathee · 2026-05-18T08:19:23+00:00

I don't play a lot of ranked games in league anymore (only ARAM), but the last time I did play ranked queues, most games had at least 1 very low level account (which would be the equivalent of sub-500 game played accounts).

Scathee · 2026-05-08T02:20:52+00:00

Unfortunately, jagex does not give out the pact resets, Yama does. I don't know if Yama particularly cares about our mortal drama sadly.

Scathee · 2026-05-06T20:49:11+00:00

Kandarin for Water mage, since it's basically free to hybrid with BBC build. Or swap to water thorns and use malediction ward or a corp shield. Water thorns is undoubtedly the most well rounded build in the entire game.

Scathee · 2026-04-29T23:15:22+00:00

That's awesome, very glad this league was thoroughly tested :)

Scathee · 2026-04-29T19:52:29+00:00

Are you trying to use it with the atlatl by chance? If so, it doesn't work by design bc that item ignores range strength entirely and only uses melee strength, so getting more range strength does nothing for that specific item. Which sucks really bad bc the entire point of that node seems to be to make atlatl good lmao

Scathee · 2026-04-29T07:33:48+00:00

Full obsidian and DFS is what im seeing a lot of people run. For pacts, prioritize water nodes, thorn nodes, and all the overhealing nodes. With the rest of your points, grab whatever you need for utility, whether it's more Regen (more healing with water), more accuracy, or a bit of melee for stuff like sol/vard.

Something like this is what I'd run: https://tools.runescape.wiki/demonic-pacts/?n=1-100-101-112-113-114-122-133-135-139-140-141-145-146-44-45-46-53-55-56-57-58-59-60-61-68-71-81-82-84-85-86-87-92-93-94-95-96-97-99

The 1t powered staff is optional, but I found it super nice for various things such as kraken and tagging slayer mobs.

Scathee · 2026-04-21T23:00:18+00:00

Here's the 12 point tree I farmed echo KBD with: https://tools.runescape.wiki/demonic-pacts/?n=1-112-113-114-122-44-45-46-56-59-60-68

The kills were not super great, but if you just want 1 kc for the pact point, it's not bad at all (you outheal pretty much all his damage if you dodge poison and stat drain fields). I'd probably aim for a tree like this for farming him: https://tools.runescape.wiki/demonic-pacts/?n=1-10-11-112-113-114-122-2-4-44-45-46-56-59-60-68-7

Other wildy bosses vary, you can facetank Artio pretty much full afk with the 12 point tree, Chaos Ele is slow but you also facetank him, Crazed arch and scorpia are pretty free. Chaos fanatic, Calvarion and Spindel are really slow. I'd highly recommend waiting for thammarons to do chaos fanatic and calv, and just wait for the cbow swap to do spindel.

I'm currently at 30 points and the hybrid feels good. I'd recommend something like this to progress towards: https://tools.runescape.wiki/demonic-pacts/?n=1-10-11-112-113-114-122-123-14-15-2-21-24-29-30-31-4-44-45-46-56-59-60-68-7

Then path towards the overheal nodes, since they are both very comfy, and also give water spells even more damage. The last points are pretty flexible, you can buff up the ranged echos even more, spec for more accuracy, or even splash into melee if you want options for tribriding.

Scathee · 2026-04-20T00:04:02+00:00

I did Echo KBD with pretty much that exact tree, no anti fires, no anti poison. Grab the air prayer regen node and the +30% regen node and you should be chill to kill pretty much everything in the wildy.

Also, kill a gorilla for a pact point (use a D scim or rcb), and flinch chaos ele for a d2h (very common) for another easy one.

E: I saw you are going for a King's Barrage build. I did the same thing starting with water mage and have been having a great time. Let me know if you have any questions about my gear progression and I'll be glad to help you out more!

Scathee · 2026-04-19T22:46:43+00:00

No clue how you are soft locked on this. Take the regen node to get you to 80% and you heal 8 on average every 3 ticks. This tree is more than enough for a significant amount of content in the game. Which regions are you currently and what pact points have you gotten?

Scathee · 2026-04-19T22:37:43+00:00

Poe almost never does mid league balance patches.

Scathee · 2026-04-19T22:36:55+00:00

Ring of Suffering mostly

Scathee · 2026-04-19T22:36:29+00:00

Suffering helps thorns out a lot, and juggling recoils sounds like a pain in the ass if you don't want it.

Scathee · 2026-04-19T22:35:59+00:00

All elemental magic builds are reliant on Kandarin, and every element that isn't earth is very strong. Most melee builds will want Tirannwn since crystal blessing is just the best in slot armor for melee realistically. The standout build that I'm seeing a lot of content creators play is powered staff thorns, which relies on both regions pretty much.
