My experience with VP Slayer as both Slayer and Scion is that the leech outweighs trap damage for everything except the Uber lab trials, including trap areas in uber lab.
Get enough leech and you can just stroll through the Uber lab traps.
but what are you leeching from after all the enemies are dead?
You move fast enough, Slayer Overleech is the gift that keeps on giving.
But that’s absolutely not the case :P
I am slooooooooow

Man, nearly 40ex T_T
I do plan on liquidating my scion's gear tonight, since I just wasn't enjoying windripping and I don't have enough time to split between three characters.
Been grinding Syndicate encounters on Harbour Bridge today. Upgraded 4 breachstones for 100-110c profit each, looted 12 Gilded Scarabs including 6 Sulphite, 4 Cartography and 2 Divination, plus some polished and rusty ones. If I hop around and pay attention I can find some Alva spawns too occasionally.
The tradeoff is I don't level or make Delve progress but I have half a dozen sulphite scarabs now so woo
edit: 15k sulphite from a single scarab don't mind if I do

So those with more experience: Should I keep diving to reach the 200s where the monster level caps out or should I settle on a shallow depth that I have capped light and resist and just go sideways forever?
I think that had probably happened to all of us. So frustrating, I hate lab.
So, I think I'm just about done this league which sucks. I've been dealing with some family stuff and will only be able to play sporadically until mid February. Is the next league expected to start around March? I really wanted to abuse some currency farming from the act 6 safe house stuff.

Yeah I've died from Izaro's leavings before, it's fucking infuriating.
Low Level delving can net you currency by farming a bunch of fossils and resonators for little sulphite, the tradeoff is you get no experience.
If you want to get some maps, getting to depth 239 (ilvl83 starts here) and looking for cities can be extremely nice. The experience gain in delves isn't terrible at monster level 83. You can also find ilvl83 shaped and elder bases from some of the various node chests or in cities as well which can be quite valuable this league with crafting being a bit more accessible.
It's also decent to find one of the zones where monsters drop items 3 levels higher at monster level 83, I pick up all the top tier ES bases in these zones and sell them for 2c each in a short time which seems worthwhile. Sometimes I'll pick up some of the armor and evasion hats but they don't sell as readily as the ES stuff does.
My strategy this league was to get to depth 270 for the challenge, and now I'm going horizontal to find a boss, also for a challenge. Once I find a boss I'll probably just start going down to see what my character can do since I didn't really ever do that in delve league.

White sockets are so easy to get these days there's zero reason not to experiment.
I swapped out War Banner for Dread Banner for the extra defense and the impale kinda boosted my DPS over 1 milly with all cylinders firing, swapped out Chaos Golem for Ice Golem for crit. Woo!
Also this is absolutely my first build over 1 million Shaper DPS ever. My last highest was 400k.

I got tiny's trial in a safehouse the other day and I was not prepared for that shit at all, will take pains to avoid it in the future
edit also I was playing with path of building and it turns out charge traps is giving me way less dps than just like putting in an added lightning or chaos damage support gem which is kind of a bummer

Oh sheezie, I just read up on Impale and found this juicy nugget:
When a hit applies impale to a target, 10% of that hit's physical damage is recorded before any damage mitigation is applied.

Hoo doggy.
Physical damage mitigation on mobs is centrality insignificant isn't it? Exceptions such as endurance charges of course. There are a couple mobs which Fortify. Beyond that I'm not aware of much
Mob armor values are something trivial

"Amoured" blue or unique mobs can sometimes be a real pain in the ass. I have 0 chaos or elemental damage.
Also it really mitigates another potential map mod or delve mod (Phys damage reduction), which tbh I am all about. The more immunities the better, I say!
I've determined that running red elder is a complete waste of time. On the other hand I don't have the map pool to just crunch t15 shaped with max sextants etc. so more pointless red elder it will be.

I was able to get on for about an hour tonight. I just ran the harbor bridge a bunch of times. Managed to get three white sockets in my staff and thanks to Tora I leveled a gem to 20 for the first time. It only took about 700 hours. I'm going to try to do this when I get a chance to get on, maybe once a week. Hopefully I can get a few decent things still.
I mean you could get lucky. I got that watchers eye from a yellow elder. I mean it just took several leagues of elders to get one worth anything but you know.

Finally broke down and ruined my Betrayal table and killed Catarina.
That was significantly more difficult than any other boss I've found in this game yet.

You can do low level delving basically as soon as you hit act 4, at which point the non-fossil rewards can be p useful

The trick was to run around in circles screaming while totems and have the bois kill things. Only took... eight tries?
I was in the same boat earlier this league with mines. I was straight up a glass cannon. Thrines did crazy damage but if I tried to drop them at the wrong time, almost anything would one shot me. It took a lot of attempts
I have been working on an Oro's Sacrifice Flicker/Molten Strike character for a few days now, just reached 67 today and Oro's Sacrifice + Flicker Strike is hilarious. I might grow bored of it eventually but for now I laugh to myself every few groups I warp around.
I hit 95 on my Jugg today, which is the new highest level I've ever gotten. I am now on my Occultist, having paid for a spot in some Pure Tul runs, getting 1.6 billion exp per hour in the mid-70s. This is kind of insane.
Not a bad day for me. Got a terrible but well rolled prismatic from Elder which I sold for an ex and then had a doctor drop because I was running Spider Forest because it was the highest level map I had enough multiples of to bother throwing on sextants.
I pretty much love my build which I stole more or less from poeninja. I started with cold dot occultist but the genius idea I picked up from poeninja (specifically Dsfarblarwaggle) was to put the "Trigger a Socketed Spell when you Use a Skill" on my main hand. Boom. EE, EO, Eeverything all the time. Amazing.

Awesome, what's your build? Do you proc Impale from some source other than the Dread Banner? I have been using War Banner for the Adrenaline on drop to nuke down bosses, but maybe for longer fights Dread Banner is just better.
