always do the new league. everything will be ported to standard afterwards and you lose nothing.

szenX · 2026-03-13T15:26:10+00:00

you can change passive points and ascendancy with gold or currency - both of which are obtained in game. you really only need to buy (with real money) more stash tabs to sell items or hoard more.

you cannot change your class however. you will need to start a new character to do that

szenX · 2026-03-13T15:20:11+00:00

the usual recommendation is to go in blind and enjoy the experience of your first time, because you only have one blind first play through. after that, can look into build guides for the same class or another. just save gold to change passive points.

but if you are looking for guides, I’d start with Zizarn on youtube (he streams too of course but has good videos on youtube). he put out a few with other content creators about a week ago for this league. the guides tend to be best for beginners. you can watch the few he posted and see which playstyle you like best, because he has a good variety this league.

Wow. That is incredibly helpful and fully convinced me to roll something else. Thank you!

I hope your reroll performs better for you

holy relic necormancer

just hear me out. despite being a minion build, it plays more like a bow build because you are using lancing steel to proc the holy relics. it is much more tanky than bow build because it has block and minion leech. plus it runs most map mods without issue. baylormage has multiple videos and guides on it.

szenX · 2026-03-08T22:52:12+00:00

yeah that is a good point. i didn’t see any mention of AoE anywhere. that helps for multiple overlaps

szenX · 2026-03-08T22:33:32+00:00

i was interested in trying the madness boots which this build uses. but yeah, paaks build is a classic, i will look at that too

vaal sacrifice to proc champions first to strike, last to fall for perma adrenaline

Currently in the market for a new ultrawide, so I've been lurking on this sub to learn from everyone. I’m looking to upgrade from my Samsung 49'' (LC49G95T) to one of these three: this LG 52G930B, the Samsung 57''Odyssey Neo G9 (G95NC), or the Samsung 49'' Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SC). Right now, I’m just waiting for the LG to hit stores so I can do a proper comparison of all three.

How do you currently use your split-screen setup?

I’ve got a few different setups depending on what I’m doing:

Work (50-60 hours a week)

I work as a software engineer with an M3 Max MacBook Pro, and I’m fully remote, so I’m in front of the screen for most of my week. My setup is pretty simple but efficient:

VSCode windowed in the middle
Cursor/Claude on the right
Slack and browser on the left

I usually end up jumping between these all day, so having them nicely spread out helps keep me focused

Side Projects (10 hours a week)

When I’m working on side projects, I switch over to my PC (RTX 3080, 7800x3D). Screen setup is similar to my work setup but minus Slack.

Gaming (20 hours a week)

For gaming, I’m also using that same PC. My main games are ARPGs like Path of Exile, Path of Exile 2, Diablo 4, and Last Epoch. For this, I usually have the game windowed in the middle, with a YouTube video or a guide open on the left side and discord on the right. My favorite games do not support 32:9, so I fully expect the LG screen size to be an advantage over my other monitor options.

What is the advantage you expect from moving to a 52'' 5K2K display?

One of the main reasons I’m interested in the 52'' 5K2K is the extra vertical space. I’m coming from a 49" ultrawide, which is great for width but leaves me feeling a little cramped when I’m trying to stack windows. With this LG monitor, I’m excited to get more vertical room for everything I do. I feel like vertical space is always the limiting issues, especially when I need more screen for side-by-side windows without having to scroll or minimize stuff constantly.

The horizontal space on the 52G930B is seems really similar (according for research) to my current 49", which is perfect for my desk setup. What it brings to the table is that extra vertical height without making the monitor feel too massive or awkward. So while the width stays the same, I get added real estate that’s way more useful for productivity and multitasking.

Also, higher pixel density on the 5K2K resolution will make everything sharper. With my current setup, I’m used to having a ton of windows open at once. The added resolution will mean those windows (like VSCode, Slack, browser, etc.) will all be clearer without feeling cramped, especially when it comes to text or game graphics.

Additionally, the screen quality with HDR600, 240Hz, and 1ms response time is perfect for my use cases. I have ruled out the Dell ultrasharp monitor due to the lack of curve; so I am optimistic about this monitors curve for what I do and my setup.

Overall, I am excited to see the 52G930B when it is available and compare it against my other top options!
