0:00All right, in case you missed my last
0:01video, this is going to be a followup to
0:04the AG of Smit Smiting/mercenary
0:06Luminary that I want to be playing this
0:08league. This is the endgame version I'm
0:10showing in the background here and what
0:11I want to end up on. Uh, but this is
0:13just the AG of Smiting alone without the
0:15mercenary. So, once we added the
0:16mercenary, it's only going to get more
0:17insane. Um, but yeah, if you want to see
0:20what this is about, you can go check out
0:21my very last video. Uh, but this video
0:23is going to be about the League Star
0:25version that I have put together and
0:26what I'm going to be playing on day one.
0:29have a POV put together here that will
0:31have a few dropdowns. Uh you can go into
0:33your 1 through 12 for uh act one rush,
0:37the campaign itself, and then uh the
0:40default tree and gear setup that I will
0:42be showing in this video
0:45as well as the skill tree setup and then
0:47also your AG of smiting gear and your
0:49options for weapons and then what I'll
0:52be using on a league start situation.
0:54There's also a note section um that will
0:56talk about a few things as well as
0:58something that I took from Captain
0:59Lance. He has a bunch of mercenaries
1:01listed out. You can go check out his
1:02mobileics if you want to see more about
1:04what he's planning on doing. Um many
1:06shot will most likely be my pick. And if
1:09that doesn't have enough single target,
1:10then I will use spectral helix of trout
1:13assuming that these mercenaries don't
1:15change, which they very likely might.
1:19Then I will also have a second POB that
1:20I will be working towards after I have
1:22the league start version worked out in
1:24case you did not get that off of my last
1:26video. I will go into more detail about
1:29this gear later on in the video, but
1:31most of the stuff is very basic tier 2,
1:33tier three suppression uh with a little
1:34bit of life. I try to leave a lot of
1:36holes in the gear so that it's easy to
1:39replicate this on a day one situation.
1:41We'll be using level 19 support gems on
1:43the enemy guardian of smiting with no
1:45quality. Um I think the specters do have
1:47a little bit of quality. Yeah. And then
1:49one dozen. Um, but pretty much all the
1:51stuff should be self fararmmable,
1:52self-reombable, very easy to obtain. The
1:54only exception will be the rocky dance
1:56that he's using and the darkness
1:57enthroned. Um, everything else is either
1:59like a anywhere between two and and four
2:02aics items. Um, so probably between
2:05those two items, you're looking at like
2:07uh five to seven divine, including the
2:09six link, I would think. All right, I
2:10think I got this build in a pretty solid
2:13spot that I uh am happy with league
2:16starting it. Uh in the background I've
2:17just got some abyss scarabs with some
2:19edifice scarabs. Most likely this is
2:20going to be the strategy that I start
2:22day one with farming to get my early
2:24gear going. Um currently my flame link
2:27right now is sitting at 400 damage per
2:30second average right around that a
2:32little over. Um there's another build
2:34going around uh where they scale the
2:36light radius and it's going to be pure
2:37mercenary only and I think I think that
2:39one's sitting around something like
2:403,400 flat damage which is an absolute
2:43[ __ ] ton of flat damage for sure. Uh,
2:45but what to keep in mind with that build
2:47is there's a lot more question marks to
2:49it. Like how good are the mercenaries
2:52going to be? Are you going to be able to
2:54find a good mercenary in time uh for,
2:56you know, you hitting late game and tier
2:5816s? And is that mercenary going to be
3:00able to do all the things that you need
3:01to do? Is it going to be able to farm
3:02effectively? Is it going to be able to
3:03boss effectively? Is it going to be
3:05There's just a lot of question marks
3:06around it. Um, but with that being said,
3:093,400 flat damage is a ton. At least
3:11that's the number I heard. I'm not I
3:13haven't looked over the build too much,
3:14but um I do think it looks good. Is it
3:17better than this one? I don't know. This
3:19one looks good to me. Is it better? I
3:22have no idea. Uh what I will say is that
3:25even though mine is only 400 flat damage
3:28at the moment, it is being applied to uh
3:30five targets, six different targets. And
3:32then those targets are also scaled up
3:33through the minion damage on the uh
3:36passive tree. So, it's likely a lot
3:38closer than you would probably think.
3:41Um, this one could be more damage. That
3:43one could be more damage. I don't know.
3:44I think what I like about this one more
3:46is that this build is working right now
3:48without the mercenary, and that makes me
3:50feel a little bit more comfortable with
3:52the league start. Um, there's too many
3:54question marks around the mercenary for
3:55me to uh to go all in on it. While I do
4:00think they're going to be good, I I
4:01wouldn't be starting Luminary if I
4:02didn't think the mercenaries were going
4:03to be good. Uh there's just yeah, too
4:06many question marks for me to be like,
4:07"Yeah, let's go all in and just pray
4:09that the mercenaries are good." And not
4:11only the mercenaries are good, but that
4:12I'm also going to find one that's going
4:13to clear well for me so I can farm a
4:15[ __ ] ton of currency as well as uh do
4:18all the bossing that I would need it to
4:19do on a league star situation. Whereas
4:21this right now can already clear pretty
4:23much all the content. The only problem
4:25I'm having with it at the moment is
4:26Shaper, but outside of that, I I think I
4:28could clear T7s right now if I needed
4:31to. And uh as you can see, it's going to
4:34farm abyss just fine. And I realize this
4:36is a different abyss than what we're
4:37going to have, but um still I I think
4:41it'll probably be pretty similar to uh
4:44this difficulty, I would think.
4:47U but yeah, if the build is already
4:48working without a mercenary, add in the
4:50mercenary on top and it's only going to
4:52get way more insane. Also, keep in mind
4:54that you can see my flame link is not
4:55applied, which is an absurd amount of
4:58damage. This is basically like me
4:59running around missing three anger auras
5:01right now because it's just too annoying
5:04to maintain five different flame links
5:06without having the infinite duration
5:07that I'm going to have on luminary. So
5:10in play, this is going to be looking a
5:12lot better than what you're seeing right
5:13here.
5:15Uh but either way, uh I'm more
5:17comfortable with league starting this. I
5:19I like the idea of using the mercenary
5:22to fill in the gaps of what this is
5:24missing versus expecting the mercenary
5:26to take care of everything that I'm
5:28going to need it to do. It just makes me
5:30more comfortable. I took a couple chunky
5:32hits during that showcase, but just to
5:34keep in mind here, we have no ascendancy
5:36allocated in the luminary. We're going
5:38to have 20% damage reduction so long as
5:40the mercenary's life is higher than
5:42ours, which should be a pretty easy
5:43feat. Aside from that, I had curse of
5:45elemental weakness and I was getting hit
5:46by lightning spires. I think I was at
5:48like 65 lightning resist or something
5:50like that in play. The 20% damage
5:53reduction should make these defenses
5:54feel quite a bit better. I'm not really
5:56struggling with them right now. I'm just
5:57saying that they will be even better
5:58than what they are now. And then, you
6:00know, probably getting more chaos
6:02resistance would be wise. I think an
6:04amethyst flask over the silver flask
6:06that I was running would be a more ideal
6:08setup. Um, and then over capping
6:10lightning resist a little bit so that
6:11the reduced curse effect will carry when
6:14you have curse of elemental weakness on
6:15the map. Just to show you a little bit
6:17of bossing damage real quick. Again,
6:18keep in mind we are missing the
6:19mercenary, which is a crazy amount of
6:22damage. This is probably like half
6:23damage or something. I don't know
6:25exactly what the mercenary is going to
6:26end up being. I think likely I will run
6:28a single target mercenary as my clear
6:30already feels really good. Um, that's
6:32just kind of one of the things I like
6:33about this build is I can I can kind of
6:35pick whatever mercenary feels best,
6:36right? Like do I want more clear speed?
6:38Okay, pick a clear speed mercenary. Do I
6:39want more single target? Okay, pick a
6:41single target mercenary. And uh yeah,
6:44I'll just use it to fill in whatever uh
6:46holes that this build feels like it has
6:48at the moment. Yeah, as of right now,
6:50it's doing everything that I'm going to
6:51need it to do on a league start
6:52situation. So, I mean, add in the
6:54mercenary and we should be big chilling
6:57here. Uh most of the damage will come at
6:59the end as I'm running punishment aura.
7:01So, once he hits under 50% life here, he
7:03should die fairly quickly. And uh yeah,
7:06he's down.
7:08I don't want to spend forever showing
7:10tons of showcases. I'll just show you
7:11the bossing damage here a little bit.
7:12Again, keep in mind we're missing the
7:13mercenary. I know I'm saying that a lot,
7:15but can't really be stressed enough.
7:17We're missing so much of our damage
7:18right now. Also, sustaining five links
7:21of flame link on all these targets
7:23during this fight is quite challenging,
7:24but the damage is already there, right?
7:26Like I could already beat this fight
7:27without the mercenary. So, once we add
7:29it in, this should be a very smooth
7:30league start, I think. And this I can
7:32guarantee is a good league start.
7:34Whereas, if I was just going pure
7:35mercenary, I couldn't I couldn't really
7:38guarantee anything. It's like, well, it
7:39depends if you find a good one. Depends
7:40how the mercenaries are. Depends,
7:41depends. Depends. But with this, I could
7:44already clear all the content without
7:45the mercenary. So, um, should be solid.
7:49With all of that stuff out of the way,
7:50we'll start talking about the gear that
7:53I'm planning on using. Um, so it's
7:54showing the Darkness and Throne is going
7:56to be right around 60 chaos, 59 chaos on
7:59day one. I assume this is taking an
8:01average like a high rolled one will
8:02probably be more than this. But if I
8:04remember right, last league a ton of
8:05people were playing specters due to Gazi
8:08and Zizin talking about it. So, it's
8:09very likely we might see that be cheaper
8:11this league. As far as the Rocky dance
8:13goes, this looks like it started right
8:14around 340 and uh rose up to about 400
8:18peak um as soon as it first started
8:20showing up on the market and then
8:21crashed pretty fast. So, if you're a
8:23slow player, this will be really cheap
8:25for you to get uh after the first day or
8:27so. If you're a fast player, you're
8:29going to have to pay, you know, 300 to
8:31400 chaos depending on where they land
8:33this league. All right, while waiting
8:35for the rockyas and saving up the three
8:38or four divines, it's going to end up
8:40being I will probably just reccom a
8:42weapon for the anime guardian of
8:43smiting. Um, if you don't know much
8:45about recoming, it's very simple. You
8:47just pick up a lot of items. Like, say
8:48I'm going to craft this ring. Recoming
8:50is how I'm going to end up making my
8:51ring. So, let's say you want increased
8:53attack and cast speed and dexterity. and
8:55you just pick up a ton of bone rings and
8:57roll exclusively those mods on it. And
8:59then uh if you look at the recon costs
9:02of trying to put these things together,
9:04it's 34,000 dust, which is a lot on a
9:06league start. So what you want to do is
9:08let's say that you are trying to get
9:09suffixes together. Then you will throw
9:11these in and craft on a low-level prefix
9:15low-level prefix on both, which will
9:17reduce the dust cost. So we go from
9:1936,000 or whatever it was down to
9:2118,000. And then uh since we'll see if
9:24these hit, but um Oh, that works. It
9:28dropped the uh crafted mod. But if it
9:30were to take the crafted mod, then you
9:31would just go in here and remove crafted
9:33mod and apply uh your life and I think
9:36probably mana regen. I I don't know if
9:38mana regen will be needed or not, but um
9:41it'll all depend on how much the clarity
9:43carries the flame link cost when
9:45applying it to five targets. As of right
9:47now, I have 115 mana per second. So, um,
9:51this will be half the cost. So, it'll
9:53be, you know, about 15, uh, mana per
9:56target times six or, well, ideally five.
9:59I don't really want it on the carry-on
10:01golem, but I'll probably factor in if in
10:02case I accidentally hit him. So, you'll
10:04be looking to need about 90 mana per
10:06second, which is we're we're already
10:08over that by quite a bit, so we should
10:10be good there. But either way, go ahead
10:12and make something like this. Um, the
10:14ring that I'm running right now is
10:16basically just that. Uh the only
10:19exception is I added in the movement
10:20speed. If I have a surplus amount of
10:22dust, then I will try to make a three ax
10:24one. Uh basically doing the exact same
10:26thing I just did. Um on the other one,
10:28I'll roll a blue ring. I'll roll
10:30movement speed and then craft on a
10:31low-level modifier and then try to slam
10:33those three items in together to make a
10:35three suffix item. And then I'll craft
10:37on the life and that will be my ring.
10:40You can also do the same thing with the
10:42wand if you really want, although it's
10:44not really needed. Um, I think the
10:46better way to craft the wand so you
10:47don't have to use so much dust is just
10:49to spam essences of fear onto the
10:52convoking wand until
10:55um you hit increased attack and cast
10:56speed. The other thing is you could also
10:58use the lantern here that may end up
11:00being more damage with the flame link.
11:02I'm not really too sure. U but I am kind
11:04of trying to avoid all the uniques being
11:06used in that build because I think even
11:08though a lot of them are very common
11:09uniques, they could be very expensive on
11:11league start. So I'm kind of trying to
11:13stay away from them. But the lantern
11:15could end up being more damaged than
11:16this wand is. If it does end up being
11:18cheap, um you can, you know, buy one and
11:20try it out, but I don't think it's
11:21probably going to be cheap. It's hard to
11:22say.
11:24The helmet, gloves, and boots should be
11:27very easy to obtain. I'm probably just
11:28going to gamble these, but you know, if
11:30I get really unlucky unlucky and I don't
11:32hit any gamles, then um I will probably
11:34use whatever I do hit with gambling to
11:36sell off to other players and then buy
11:38whatever I need that I don't end up
11:40hitting. Um, the body armor should be
11:42pretty easy to obtain. You need to get a
11:44six link base. And then, I mean,
11:45honestly, you could you could use
11:47defensive fossils or dense fossils if
11:49you want. Those will probably be
11:50expensive on league start. So, honestly,
11:52I think you just chaos orb till spell
11:54suppression possibly. Um, would be the
11:56easiest way to do it because you really
11:57don't need much to hit a 2,000 evasion
12:00body armor. I mean, this thing's pretty
12:01bad. Like, we take a look at a tier four
12:04evasion.
12:06And if we were to craft on flat evasion
12:09onto this, we're already at 2500. It's
12:11significantly better than uh what I have
12:15wearing uh during that showcase. And
12:17then, you know, you could also hit flat
12:18evasion and then you could craft on
12:22uh just flat evasion and it would also
12:23be much better uh by quite a bit. Uh
12:26there's there's a ton of things. As long
12:27as you hit some sort of evasion with the
12:29suppression, then you can craft on the
12:31rest and exalt slam on some resistances
12:33hopefully. Um, but yeah, should be
12:35pretty easy to get this going. The
12:38amulet, pretty basic. Just some resists
12:41and life. You'll probably find this, but
12:42if you don't, you could pick one up for
12:44pretty cheap, I would think.
12:47We also have a ton of gassly jewels in
12:49the build. Uh, most of these are two
12:51aics, but there are a couple three aics
12:53ones. The energy shield is not doing a
12:54whole lot for me as I don't have a way
12:56to sustain it. So, um, these are all
12:58basically two aics with the exception of
13:00a couple ones that are life. And
13:03honestly, if you craft a bunch of these,
13:04the odds that you're going to hit life
13:05on probably, you know, two or three of
13:07them are pretty high. I think you're
13:08something like five times more likely to
13:10hit life than you are energy shield. Um,
13:12but for this, pretty simple. You'll just
13:14uh spam attack. So, you hit cast speed
13:16with a high
13:18uh flat damage alongside. Should be
13:21pretty easy to do on the majority of
13:23these. And then exalt slam, hoping that
13:25you hit life aside from that. Um, but
13:28yeah, red is usually pretty cheap. And
13:31then, you know, getting some flat damage
13:33alongside with some life is pretty easy.
13:36So, these should be very, very cheap.
13:37Just make sure you're picking up a ton
13:38of them so that you're not having to buy
13:40a bunch of gas. Should be pretty easy to
13:41self farm as abyss will likely be our
13:43best mechanic to farm. I think
13:46the only other thing that I had in the
13:49tree was the unending hunger. If we take
13:52a look at that, unending hunger started
13:54out uh day one at 18 chaos and rose all
13:58the way up to 20 chaos before plummeting
14:00down to 10. So, this should be very
14:02attainable and it's very nice to give
14:04your uh specters some soul eater.
14:07Uh this is bad. I will change this in
14:10the POV as this is not what I would run.
14:12I will have a better cluster than this
14:14um that gives some leech and uh some
14:17double damage. But yeah, this is a bad
14:20cluster. it will be improved in the POB
14:22and and make for a bit more damage in in
14:24the actual gameplay. This is just
14:26something I had lying around in my
14:27standard tabs. Aside from that, Enduring
14:29Composure, pretty basic. And then that
14:32is all that is in the tree. Everything
14:33else was just those gastly eyes that I
14:35just showed. So, should be a very, very
14:37cheap setup to get to the power levels
14:39that were shown, you know, except only
14:41much better because of the mercenary and
14:43permanent flame link. Um, but yeah, very
14:45very cheap to get this up and running to
14:47what you saw in the beginning there.
14:50As far as the animate uh of anime
14:53guardian the smiting goes, uh the only
14:54thing that he was using was that rockyas
14:57as shown in the thing, but until then,
14:58you know, I'll just use a recon weapon
15:00or whatever weapon I happen to find. Um
15:02and then he's also using impulses which
15:04starts out at 30 chaos on day one and
15:07plummets down to 5 chaos pretty soon
15:09after. Um so this should be pretty easy
15:11to get your hands on. Everything else
15:12that he was using was just rare gear. I
15:14just gave him some life resists on the
15:16gloves. I gave him some attack speed and
15:18then just use red eldrich uh s red
15:22eldrich embers to give him nonvail
15:24strikes attack one additional target.
15:26Again, all the stuff will be in the POV,
15:27but um just kind of going over it in the
15:29video here.
15:31If you want to swap into anime guardian
15:33of smiting, if you're able to get your
15:34hands on that gem and drop the SRS the
15:37moment you hit tier one white maps, then
15:39I would probably be looking to put Oro
15:41Sacrifice onto him. It starts out at 1
15:44chaos. There's basically no demand for
15:45this. So, this will likely be the sword
15:47I go into white maps with. And then I'll
15:49try and improve this uh as I map into
15:52tier 16s with either a reccom weapon or
15:54if I just so happen to find one, uh I'll
15:57slap that on instead of this. But this
15:58will work great for uh for now. As soon
16:02as Shaper starts going down, um or
16:04people start clearing uh heist, um pick
16:08up either replica or regular void
16:11walkers, whichever ones happen to be
16:12cheaper for you. They both will give
16:14phasing if you've killed recently and
16:15put these on your mercenary or I'm sorry
16:17your ag of the smiting as soon as
16:20possible. And it looks like these
16:22started the league out right around two
16:24chaos. So shouldn't be too bad to get
16:27your hands on.
16:29Now, as far as the mercenary goes,
16:31honestly, I'm really not planning
16:32anything out. One of the reasons I like
16:35this build is because I think the
16:37mercenary is going to give me something
16:39to have fun with and play around and be
16:41a bit of a mystery for me to figure out
16:43what's the best one. Um, this right here
16:46comes from Oscar. Uh, I don't know if he
16:48got it from anyone, but this is where I
16:50saw it. Uh, so full credit to him on
16:51this. I'll probably copy and paste this
16:54and put this into my POV so you have
16:56like some idea of what they are. But
16:57from what I understand, I think during
16:59the Zigg D video that I saw where he did
17:01a bit of a playthrough and tested some
17:03of the mercenaries out, I think he said
17:04that all of these are changing. So, I
17:06don't even know how reliable these are,
17:07but let's say they are reliable. I'll
17:09put them in the POB. Um, I think likely
17:11my two biggest candidates are many shot
17:14uh just for depending depending on if it
17:16has good single target because if it
17:18does have good single target, then I'll
17:20take the clear as well. But if it's
17:21single target is a little bit lacking,
17:23then I think I'm going to be going for
17:24the spectral helix of chart this. U
17:28because my clear already feels pretty
17:29solid and single target is what I think
17:31I'm lacking the most at the moment. Um
17:34but uh that's assuming that these are
17:36going to stay the same and I'm not
17:37entirely sure that they are. But yeah,
17:39again, full credit to Oscar here or
17:41whoever he got it from. Uh but I will
17:43copy and paste this and put it in the
17:44POV so you have at least some reference.
17:46But yeah, I'm really not going that deep
17:48into the mercenary. going to just kind
17:50of have fun with it on on day one. If
17:52you're somebody that likes to plan out
17:53every little detail of your build, then
17:55I would probably look towards what some
17:56other people are doing and see what
17:57mercenary you want to use to to fill the
17:59slot.
18:01All right, so that's pretty much the
18:02league start version out of the way.
18:03Now, how do we go from what I have there
18:06to this uh quite expensive version um
18:11that I will be switching into? Um, to be
18:14completely honest, I don't know if you
18:16should play this build unless you
18:17already have a pretty good POE
18:19foundation. Uh, cuz I simply I'm just
18:22out of time. I can't really do a step by
18:23step from that into this. But what I can
18:25do if you are interested in it is give
18:28you like my thoughts on what I will need
18:30in order to switch from flame link into
18:32the destructive link tripon setup that
18:34I'm going to be using later. Um, my
18:36first thoughts are I don't really want
18:37to drop the other specters until I have
18:39hall of monarch uh to be giving the uh
18:43uh anime guardian the smiting head
18:44hunter buffs and I do not want to switch
18:47into trippingon until the rest of my
18:49defenses are worked out. So I think
18:50likely I'm probably going to see how the
18:54farms end up being. If abyss ends up
18:56being crazy and I can farm a mage blood
18:57on like day two uh day threeish, then
19:00I'll probably go for that first and just
19:01leave the setup as I have it. like if
19:03it's farming effectively as is, then
19:05I'll just do that until mage blood. Um,
19:07but if it turns out the farms are a
19:08little weaker and it's going to take a
19:09while to get mage blood, I think what
19:11I'll start doing is probably working
19:12towards a necrotic armor and uh, you
19:15know, warlock gloves and boots and
19:16basically getting my defenses a lot
19:18better than what they are currently with
19:20the setup that I have. And uh, once the
19:24defenses are really solid, then I'll be
19:26cool with dropping the shield and going
19:28for the tripon. The big the big issue
19:29with the swap into the trippingon is
19:31you're going from a shield setup into a
19:32two-handed weapon setup and your
19:34defenses uh get pretty dicey if you
19:37don't improve things quite a bit. So
19:40either a mage blood or a pretty uh nice
19:42body armor boots and gloves setup. And
19:45then yeah, you you're going to want the
19:47the hollow monarch is going to be really
19:48easy to get. I think it's something like
19:5060 chaos. Um the only thing you're
19:52waiting on is for people to start
19:53downing uber dread, but it's a 53%
19:56chance to drop. I might even self farm
19:58it depending on what my mercenary damage
19:59looks like. Um, I think I will be able
20:01to, but if not, uh, then I'll just wait
20:05on it to be farmed. It's going to be a
20:06very cheap helmet. People are going to
20:08be farming Uber Dread for the Whispers
20:09of Infinity and a good Golden Charlatin.
20:12So, uh, this is just going to be an item
20:14that ends up flooding the market that
20:15not many people are using. So, I will be
20:18waiting on that. And then uh yeah, once
20:20my defenses are in line, I have the
20:22hollowed monarch and I feel like I can
20:23switch into a two-handed weapon without
20:25sacrificing uh too much of my defenses,
20:28that's when I will switch into
20:29destructive link and I will start, you
20:31know, basically working towards adding
20:33in uh aura after aura as I pick up
20:36enough reservation for each one. Um I am
20:40running a skill cost reservation
20:41multiplier. This will probably be pretty
20:43tough to get on uh you know early into
20:46the league. This will probably take a
20:48handful of days to come out, but again,
20:50this should be flooding the market. I I
20:52think it drops down to like 10 chaos a
20:54piece or something. So, you should be
20:54able to buy like, you know, 30 of them
20:56and slam
20:58valors at them. I don't think it'll be
21:00too challenging to get this implicit.
21:03Uh, in the meantime, while you're trying
21:05to square all your gear away, there is a
21:06timeless jewel that I have here. This is
21:08obviously not the one that you're going
21:09to want to use. Um, this is just a bunch
21:11of random mods. I don't like to put an
21:12actual exact jewel in here because, you
21:15know, it's just going to get bought out
21:16or whatever from even if a few people
21:20try to buy the exact same one. So, um,
21:22you have three different nodes that you
21:24can work with here that will all be
21:25onepoint nodes. Um, and you can get
21:28reservation on these. I think there's a
21:2912% reservation if you go into find
21:31timeless jewel. There's also aura
21:33effect. So whichever one you happen to
21:35need until you're getting all your
21:36enlightens squared away and you have all
21:38your small clusters, you could probably
21:40just get a couple of, you know, 24%
21:41reservation or something like this,
21:43something like that between these three
21:44points. And uh
21:47once your reservation is squared away,
21:48then you can go into aura effect.
21:51As far as the campaign goes, I think
21:53what I'm going to end up doing, or
21:55actually I'm almost certain what I'm
21:56going to end up doing, is playing
21:57spectral throw until act two. I have
22:00played SRS on Scion before and it feels
22:04completely fine, but there's three
22:06really problematic areas. That is Brutus
22:09uh in act one and Mail in act one. And
22:12then uh in act three, Dominus is a
22:14little bit annoying, although not nearly
22:16as bad as the first two. And then
22:18lastly, uh Piety at the end before you
22:20have Unleash. Uh she likes to destroy
22:22all your specters. All the problems come
22:24from not so much the SRS damage,
22:27but the um SRS being killed constantly
22:30from AoE spells. So both Brutus and
22:32Revail just completely kill your SRS the
22:35entire time. And uh without the
22:37increased damage on Scion from the
22:39minions, it just ends up feeling really
22:41bad. And then Py also wipes them. But by
22:44the time we get P on Scion, we'll have
22:46the mercenary this time around. So it
22:47should be completely fine. Um but yeah,
22:49this this is just what I'm doing. I'm
22:51going to be switching at like level 12,
22:52level 13 into pure SRS, you can play
22:55spectral throw or sunder or whatever you
22:57feel more comfortable with. I just
22:59personally really like SRS. So, I'm
23:00going to switch to SRS early. But if you
23:03like Absolution more, if you prefer
23:05Sunder setup and you want to like, you
23:07know, go some other path and then pay
23:09the gold to respe it later, that's
23:11totally cool. This is just what I'm
23:12doing. Uh, when it comes to Scion, man,
23:14it's like it's just such an ass start
23:16that my best recommendation is play
23:19whatever you feel comfortable. I really
23:20recommend that you play through act one
23:22a couple of times to get the feel for
23:24Scion um as it is a little rough
23:27compared to other classes, but Spectral
23:29Throw does feel pretty solid. And uh
23:32we'll take me through and reveal at at
23:33which point I'll switch.
23:35Everything else will pretty much stay
23:37the same as a normal minion build. You
23:38know, you'll go into uh the minion
23:40damage here and pick up the fast attack
23:41and movement speed. So, you have a fast
23:43shield charge and then, you know, your
23:44additional specters. It'll be the exact
23:45same minion layout. Um towards the end
23:47of the campaign, I will drop down into
23:50the extra evasion and start switching
23:51into evasion. It should be really nice
23:54uh running evasion and suppression
23:56compared to what it normally is on a
23:58minion build. Normally, you don't do
23:59that because it's just way too hard to
24:00get the number of blue sockets that you
24:02would need on straight evasion bases. Uh
24:04but this league, we don't have to worry
24:06about that at all. So, we can go pure
24:07evasion and not have to worry about
24:08socket colors at all, and it should make
24:10for a fairly tanky uh setup.
24:14Uh but yeah, I'll try to throw together
24:15a POV for like league start uh or you
24:18know like what the tree is going to end
24:19up looking like. And um yeah, basically
24:21I'm going to rush all the damage, then
24:23I'll pick up some aura effect, and then
24:25I I'll end with uh some suppression and
24:27evasion.
