I started Chieftain using both some attacks and holy flame totem and flamewood support. Sometime later later I really wanted to go the melee ignite route with controlled blaze and sadism, but damage was lacking. All in all super slow getting through the campaign.

Getting into maps I switched to Boneshatter (the build I wanted to do initially). Immediately felt much better, getting into yellow maps in a four link so far, still lots of room for improvement, I am somewhat optimistic. Lots of cool tech for hitting one self, such as recoup, endurance charge generation and self ignite.

Haven't really used the league mechanic too much. I can't really tell why I am either absolutely crushing it or being crushed, there seems to be no in between.

And finally I am really sad about the Guardians Blessing support. Can't be triggered, hard to impossible to keep your minion alive and you have to reactivate the aura manually. Ouf. Let me know if you found any good way to use it.

But I am having fun.

How's your league going?

If somebody comes into PoE without much knowledge on what to look out for, they might bump into some very questionable build guides out there.

Who do you trust? Why do you trust them? Any specific build archetypes they are focused on?

I’m doing RF. Because it’s RF. I just can’t do anything else.

2 new league mechanics. My RF league starter was untouched. This will allow me to later transition to a zoom zoom bow build or maybe try an ignite attack build that GGG are pushing us towards. We’ll see. Anyway, I’m hyped.
