    With Skitterbots being able to retrigger mines repeatedly, how is this idea? Desecrate mines(High impact for the debuff aura), that you never bother to manually detonate, and then start tossing around Detonate Dead, Volatile Dead, Cremation, or even Bodyswap traps? Not sure what would be the most efficient damage from desecrate spawned corpses.

    If I go Saboteur, what nodes would be best?

    Not going for the bespoke necromancer nodes?

    Edit: though thinking about it I guess they wouldn’t work with mines as you wouldn’t be spawning the corpses

    This league seems pretty nuts so far. Storm brand has been petty dope. Got two Axiom clubs or w/e, which really makes SB chew through stuff.

    Ok so deathmark only makes supported minions target, not all minions. Sad day. Its strictly worse than just minion damage unless they are focusing. Maybe have it to switch in on big bosses?

    @fRAWRst I just want you to know that even though I'm not making a build with it, I've made sure to put your card as T1 in my loot filter so I can turn it in one day

    The primary benefit is better dps uptime. You can clear non bosses without really worrying about minmaxing your gems but ensuring that your dudes are dpsing instead of hugging you while you dodge stuff is very helpful.

    Okay, that competes with Dendrobate alright.

    Contaminate spawns Fungal Growth when you kill an enemy.

    I'm no longer playing Cobra Lash.

    I'm playing Plaguebearer that happens to use Cobra Lash.

    Is that the poison aura thing? I’ve heard it’s nuts.

    This league mechanic is better than I expected. I thought tower defense would be snooze but there's just enough actual needed involvement and tension that I get excited each encounter.

    I'm having pretty big issues with visibility in blight maps though. There's just 100 million visual effects going on between towers, minions, enemies, and glowing plant lanes and I literally can't see anything.

    I think I wanna play a totemy templar this league, it feels very in tune with the league mechanic

    Or maybe a ranger if there's a good/cheap/tanky ranger build that uses the cool new poison skills?

    I've played a shadow, duelist, and witch to maps so far so I figure I should play the other ones

    Divine Ire, Arc, Ice Lance and Glacial Cascade are all good totem Hierophant options. I tried EK totem Hierophant and can't recommend it, personally.

    Day 2 finished, Kitava down, Merc Lab done, maps unlocked. Merc Lab & Kitava at 3500 hp is interesting and totally not sketchy, nope.

    1 ex, 28c total acquired during leveling. Above average result, so this is a good start. That ex is pretty much two Wasp Nests anyway.

    I'm on Xbox so I have to wait until Monday but a) the new mechanic looks super cool and b) it is probably going to suck on console. I'm thinking of giving the new icicle mine a shot. Have watched some of that on twitch and it looks pretty awesome. Also noted the new leveling strat is heavy in orb of storms so that might be cool to try. I love how this stuff comes out of nowhere and then everyone jumps on the bandwagon.

    First summoner build I've done that has been enjoyable.

    I dont know what it is but I think I'm going to check out some other summoners to see if theres anything I'm missing. It's not like I'm having a hard time, I'm absolutely crushing everything, but for the late game stuff

    Yeah, I wonder if we can get away with not messing with the towers. Trying to interact with anything during combat is such a crapshoot in Xbox

    With vaal skeletons I can make 44 total skeletons that burn nearby enemies for just over 5k a second. Each. At level 70.

    I'm hoping they give more time to sort out the initial defense but after that I'm very much in fear of combat interaction shenanigans. I honestly can't see how they will pull it off.

    i havent tested it but just checking the price and wording made me immediately go "o yeah thats gotta be fucked"

    not least because with a legion jewel you can get 240% minion life at the top of the tree for like 5 points

    Are you playing summoner? Part of why they changed Femur of the Saints was to reduce the dynamic calculations. The server has a rough time calculating auras and other buffs for 10-30 minions and if you really tax it with stuff Vaal Summon Skeletons it'll straight give up.
