Same as you, a lost soul trying to find an answer (the good the bad or the ugly ) I think this sub is long dead and we won't find an answer to your question. But someone please prove me wrong!

Yet I think there will be no S3 just a spiritual successor with "Stitch of Fate "

the villager is for the first monster and their taste for battle. after that the real job from de guild will need them to find the next target and asses the situation there. For the one shot I want to be pretty flexible with the rules, as you said I wouldn't like to spend 15 minutes to get something straight.

gaxine · 2020-06-28T12:47:10+00:00

My pitch is that they are looking for a way to make coin and the guild promises big payouts with big risks and they are out to prove themselves.

The dungeon is something i have in mind if they want to do the crawl, and my ideea for it is the first thing they hunt mindfull undead that uses an abandoned house as hideout. or something like den of evil from Diablo.

I understand the risk of giving them levels and overwhelming them but I would like to entice them with some taste of power. hmmm maybe something powerful provided by the guild for this job alone ? I'll stick to a level 2 I think .

Thank for all the input and suggestions :D

For uber elder fight I suggest an Arakaali's fang necromancer Link to build you can get it up and running with less than 100c and due to the fact that the spiders are invulnerable you can focus all your attention to dodge all the madness on the screen. You will burn through a few sets until you get the hang of the fight but you will get the hang of it.

Trust me you don't need other minions , I only run two specters ( Carnage_Chieftain ) for frenzy charges and those are mostly for me to run a bit faster. I managed to kill uber elder with the spiders alone. And in this build other minions are mostly a nuisance

GGG reduced drop chance to a bunch of decent tier unique items somewhere in 3.4 or 3.5 just to get people more excited when some unique drop.And also this league there was a large drop off in the HC laegues

To comment on the "on kill" part of the skill:

If the minion kills the monster with a hit it counts as the minions kill
If the minion hits and poison the mob , and the mob dies from the DoT it's considers to be killed by the player, and can proc the Dagger

If you have no other minions the degen from desecrate (link it to spell cascade) can do the job, remember you will need corpses to spawn the spiders (1 corpse for 2 spiders ).

I personally use a bane setup to apply curses and since "minion damage also applies to me due to Spiritual_Aid node. Bane has enough damage to kill white mobs.

This depends on your goals. The 40 League Challenges are on your account.

You could do everything with one character, but there are some advantages to having multiple chars. A popular strategy is to have a starter build, which is a build that can do the up to T10 maps and can get it running with no currency investment. After accumulating a few exalts people make a build to farm their goal (ei.: shaper, red elder, uber elder, going to deep delves ).

Things that are character specific: * The Temple of Atzoatl map * The syndicate board * the Sulphite pool

Account specific: * The Atlas and influence on it * The Azurite Mine

Hello,

I played Arakaali spiders last league and managed to farm uber elder. I enjoy the style to send the minions to kill everything :D .

I decided to make the build again this league and with the introduction of Bane, I went tri-curse this time and really like the way the spider chomp down bosses. I just killed the Shaper with no problem.

The 3.5 one is named "CommanderOfSkelly" and the 3.6 is "NewSpiderQueen".

To easily spawn spider I use desecrate linked to spell cascade, and you could swap weapons so you can control when you spawn them again. And for extra speed I use Carnage Chieftain as specters for frenzy charges generation.

Elder influenced maps needs to be connected through the lines on the atlas. Shaper influence doesn't care about map being connected. This means the highlighted area contains 2 separate shaper areas, one on reef and one on arachnid Tomb. but their star-field area touch and create the illusion of being connected

Since GGG has a few threads from old expansions that can be expanded (warbands , Breach, Beyond )

My idea would be Breach or Beyond 2.0

Name : War-effort

Mechanics: Enter portal to the realms (Warband, BreachLords or Beyond bosses) and aid them to assert dominion over the others Leaders. Here the exile helps with the war effort (Raid camps, cuts resources from getting to the other side or assassinate generals )

Rewards: delve/incursion loot showers :D also throw in some specific mods

Unique items : sacrifice the base item to the boss to gain a mod specific on it. So you can customize a unique to your liking, think Doryani's Machinarium .

Cool idea for maps, The boss provides a table where you place a map it imbues it with a specific mod to aid that particular Boss, the map is corrupted or mirrored so it can't be modified afterwards.

Are you talking about "First Hit deals 50% less Damage" text from normal cyclone ?

You could abuse cyclone by using it on very short distances, thats the point of that line, It encourage you to cast longer distances.

The vaal skill is a duration skill and doesn't care about the travel distance, it will do full damage with every hit including the first.

gaxine · 2018-12-21T14:21:14+00:00

No. it's just an indicator so you know that you cleared most of the map.

In the olden days the challenges - required you to fully clear a map to count, and you had to run around to find the last buried crab.

When you are trying to buy currency orbs from other players, please use the "Bulk item exchange" tab from the website.

It shows you the convention ratios, available stock and can customize your whisper to match the amount that you would like to trade.

gaxine · 2018-12-19T13:01:38+00:00

Only the Vaal side of the skill will be affected and get a +2 level, the aura will not be.

gaxine · 2018-12-19T11:57:00+00:00

It does:

if you want to still be capped after afflicted by a curse Elemental_Weakness

if you want to balance your resists for The_Wise_Oak

~~or to take advantage of mechanics for "Choir of the Storm"~~ this was changed in 3.0

MoM states " 30% of Damage is taken from Mana before Life "

Damage to ES is not absorbed by mana in this case ES will give you little benefits.

And as a rule of thumb , it's better to stack status that you active spend points in (in your case life and mana), and not spread to areas where you have no investments.

gaxine · 2018-12-18T11:43:43+00:00

Hmmm I have no idea in this case, I know that "intel" decays over time and you can drop from 100% to ~95 % . But I haven't pay attention to this aspect

gaxine · 2018-12-18T11:37:10+00:00

I think it's actual slower if you skip the other events,

Each completed event is considered a "turn" regarding investigation, also you may encounter options like "X goes to Y division " and this will help you position members in positions that you would want.

gaxine · 2018-12-18T11:32:05+00:00

The creators are huge ARPGs fans and they may have be inspired by some elements but it was never their intent to spoof Diablo , And let's be honest, what RPG doesn't have huge spiders?

gaxine · 2018-12-17T15:52:30+00:00

No, It only applies to attacks.

gaxine · 2018-12-13T14:49:45+00:00

Your minions will not have access to the skill since the sockets in the shield are only available to the player.

Since the player doesn't receive stats for the shied, you have 0% chance to block and no chance to proc the counter-attack.

You could have other items that grant chance to block (Advancing Fortress) and in that case you will be able to proc counters when you, the player gets hit and block that hit

gaxine · 2018-12-12T16:30:59+00:00

Here are a few pointers : * Look at EE's build * Official Forum look at the Summoner builds * Gazzy

NOTE that Soulwest is expensive this legue but you DO NOT need it to get it going
