0:00What up? This is our final update for
0:02Toxic Rain Pathfinder in All Flame
0:04League. Toxic Rain Pathfinder has been
0:07absolutely amazing for us this league.
0:09The synergy between the league mechanic
0:10and Pathfinder's move speed is
0:12outstanding. The all-flame gear crafting
0:14system is really good, and we use that
0:15to make some of the best rare pieces
0:16we've ever had on a TRPF character. So,
0:19in our experience, TRPF is the best
0:21build for the All Flame League mechanic.
0:23We have no idea if or when Charts and
0:25Voyages will go core, but we will
0:26definitely be playing them in the future
0:28if they do because this was a perfect
0:30match like peanut butter and chocolate
0:32levels of perfection. Cheese and
0:34crackers, cookies and milk, spaghetti
0:36and meatballs, you get it. So, we'll
0:38talk about gear and how to craft the big
0:40pieces, but things have more or less
0:41progressed precisely according to plan
0:43with this build and this league. So,
0:45there's not really going to be any huge
0:46twists and turns if you already are
0:47familiar with the build and the setup.
0:49The biggest difference with this league
0:50is just how easy it has been to get
0:52near-perfect items because of the
0:54all-flame crafting system. All right, so
0:56before we get into it, be sure to like
0:57and subscribe. Hype the video as well if
0:59you're on mobile. That all helps us out.
1:01You know how YouTube works. Okay, so
1:04let's start with the most important
1:05thing that we get asked about uh quite a
1:07bit and um don't really address enough
1:10and that would be the MTX. So there are
1:12a lot of really good MTX. Uh something
1:14that GGG has talked about in some of the
1:16like um Exile Con stuff in the past is
1:19that Ranger is kind of the default. Like
1:21that's their default human character is
1:24uh Ranger model. So everything kind of
1:25looks better on Ranger than it does on
1:27everything else. And uh what we've been
1:30playing around this league because it is
1:31kind of a ghost pirate league is we've
1:33been using the uh the good old Corsair
1:34set. And a nice thing about this MTX is
1:37it's actually still available in the
1:39store unlike some of the other ones that
1:40we like and have used in the past. Uh,
1:43but there's a whole bunch of stuff,
1:44right? There's also this absolutely
1:46insane interaction with the cold snap
1:48bow and quiver, which look really good.
1:50And the Corsair weapon effect, like if
1:51we turn that off, it just looks like,
1:53you know, pretty good looking bow. Uh,
1:55but the Corsair weapon effect for
1:57whatever just has this insane supernova
2:00glow with the cold snap bow. Whereas,
2:02like if you switch over to say dragon
2:04hunter bow and quiver, it just looks
2:05like normal. Pretty good. And um yeah, I
2:09kind of like that vomit of of like
2:11insane light exploding on the screen all
2:14the time. So that's that's a good look.
2:17There are some other things that we
2:18like. We're always partial to Nightfall.
2:20Like Nightfall set is 90% of the time
2:22what's getting worn. Um it just looks
2:24really good, right? Whole set always
2:27looks good. So that's great. Um you
2:30know, kitty cats are always mandatory as
2:32well. There are some other good things.
2:34Uh, Night Lotus is another good-looking
2:35set, but that is something that came
2:36from Affliction League, so it's not
2:38available to you if you didn't already
2:40get it. But it does look incredibly good
2:42if you did play an Affliction League and
2:44just have it hanging out. That's
2:46definitely an option. But yeah, those
2:49are kind of the three main like sets
2:51that we would been using throughout this
2:52league for uh looking good and looking
2:54piratey. And let's go back to Corsair
2:56cuz that kind of looks more thematic for
2:58the current moment. There's also a nice
3:00looking Corsair um flame dash which
3:03looks just really good with this set as
3:04well. Then the other thing the thing
3:06thing that we get asked about probably
3:07the most of of everything is like what
3:09are those bubbles around your character
3:10and those would be reinforced topaz and
3:12reinforced amethyst flask and together
3:15they sort of make this nice looking like
3:17blueish color. It kind of looks better
3:20than either of the two on their own.
3:22Like just to show off this is the topaz.
3:25I guess it's a little bit more bluish
3:27than yellow, actually. I don't know. I
3:29don't know why it's that color, but
3:30that's the color they went with. And
3:32then the purple, the amethyst is very
3:34purple. So, yeah, they kind of look
3:36better together. And then we got a bunch
3:39of like dodge roll flasks and and
3:41quicksilver flask MTX uh from supporter
3:44packs and from POE2. And we've been
3:46playing around with the Minotaur and the
3:48Divinity and the Elusive and and all
3:50kinds of different Quicksilver MTX and
3:52they all look pretty good in different
3:53ways. So, that's the big MTX situation.
3:55Uh, the one other thing would be like,
3:57you know, what's your favorite Toxic
3:58Rain MTX? And the thing is there's a ton
4:00of them and they're all great, but Night
4:01Lotus kind of the old reliable. It just
4:03looks really nice. It looks way better
4:05than the, you know, for as good as all
4:06of the MTX for Toxic Rain are, the
4:09baseline Toxic Rain is just straight up
4:12god awful. Uh, yeah, it's horrible. But
4:15there are so many other good MTX for
4:17Toxic Rain. I mean, there's like five of
4:19them. And they all kind of have
4:20different sound effects, too. So, you
4:23can't really go wrong either way. And
4:25because we are triggering toxic rain um
4:27as well, toxic rain of withering uh with
4:29our like secondary man forged arrow
4:32setup, you are actually able to get two
4:34for the price of one in terms of your
4:35toxic rain MTX. So, that's kind of nice
4:37as well. All right, so with that being
4:39said, one of the big things that
4:40happened this league was definitely a
4:42whoopsie on GGG's part was the mana
4:44weirdness that attack uh happened with
4:45like attacks and specifically it was
4:47like with this cluster uh mana cost
4:49efficiency or just cost efficiency of
4:51attacks. Uh they made a big mistake and
4:53that is something that got fixed last
4:55Friday. So the big issue was really not
4:57this swap from uh reduced cost over to
5:00efficiency. like the change to the helm
5:02bonus of being mana cost efficiency
5:04actually kind of was a bank error in
5:05players favor uh because it applies to
5:07things like withering step and immortal
5:09call and it was actually reducing cost
5:10on spells that that aren't attacks right
5:13because they're spells and so that
5:15actually wound up being a good thing.
5:17The issue was that all of the flat mana
5:19cost reductions uh that would come from
5:20like your rings and your amulet, you
5:22know, like we get um 8 plus 8 plus 7, so
5:26like 23 reduced mana cost that was
5:28happening uh first and then the mana
5:31cost efficiency was coming into play and
5:34that was causing some real problems. So
5:36even people who were stacking, you know,
5:37I think with the base cost of toxic rain
5:40at like high level with six link and all
5:42that is like 33 or 34 mana and so you
5:44would reduce the cost by like 21 and so
5:47that would put you at like 12 mana cost
5:50and then that would get reduced by like
5:5230 or 40% uh from your cost efficiency
5:56and so you're still having to pay like
5:57nine mana and that's just completely
5:59unplayable. Um fortunately they fixed
6:01all of that and things basically all
6:03went back to fine. People did have some
6:04issues because we'd been using like
6:05clarity watchers Eye to make things just
6:08work. Just get enough flat mana cost to
6:10bring it down to like four or five mana
6:11and then use cost efficiency to bring it
6:13down to like, you know, three to four
6:15and barely make it playable. Thankfully,
6:18that's all been sorted out. Uh, but some
6:19people did have some issues where they
6:21like logged in and suddenly their cost
6:22was zero and then managed arrows wasn't
6:24triggering. And so, hopefully that's
6:26sorted out for everybody. But that
6:27seemed to hold be a bit be a big snafu.
6:29probably the worst thing that happened
6:31with this league. As much as people have
6:32complained about other stuff, that was
6:34the actual worst thing that we had uh
6:35any sort of experience with. And we made
6:38it work and thankfully we'll never have
6:39to deal with that again because they've
6:40made the swap over to cost efficiency
6:42and now it's done and it's just going to
6:44be the way that it is going forward.
6:46Ultimately, big wipe of sweat from our
6:48brow that that wasn't intended.
6:50Everything wound up being fine. So, in
6:52terms of skills, not really all that
6:53much has like changed from our usual.
6:55The only real change that happened with
6:56this league, uh, you know, we're still
6:58running toxic rain on a six link like we
7:00always do. We're still doing like costic
7:01arrow, um, mana forged arrows, volcostic
7:04arrow type of setup. And then the
7:06secondary, uh, mana forged arrow setup
7:08with like cooling strike and toxic reign
7:10of withering and frenzy just to generate
7:11frenzy charges and just to make it much
7:13easier to stay at 130 or whatever the
7:15max is. 130 135. Yeah, 135 uh,% on
7:18wither. The fact that that shows up in
7:20the UI on monsters now is super awesome,
7:22too. It's really easy to like see how
7:24high your uptime on on wither is. That
7:26has really helped especially for
7:28bossing. It's become like uh really
7:30obvious how easy it is to maintain full
7:32wither stacks on bosses, especially in
7:34in the past when we' had some people
7:35question like that's maybe not
7:36realistic. No, it's 100% realistic. You
7:39can absolutely on any kind of boss uh
7:41that doesn't have like tons of downtime,
7:43you can going can maintain 15 stacks of
7:45[music] wither on them basically from
7:46like second to into a boss fight. But
7:49yeah, all of the quality bonuses that
7:51we've gotten out of just like matching
7:52socket colors has been pretty great for
7:54damage for this build, which has been
7:56super cool. Um, the ability to like get
7:58more cooldown reduction on things like
8:00flame dash and immortal call has been
8:01great, too. So, in terms of gear
8:03crafting with the league mechanic,
8:04that's been the biggest one. Um, we've
8:06done a lot of the standard stuff like,
8:08you know, you get uh like a pair of
8:10gloves that have like a nice fractured
8:11life rolling on them. And honestly, we
8:13we could like do the same craft with a
8:15T1 life roll instead of a T2. Um, but
8:18you just use like for the gloves for
8:19example, defining essences of zeal until
8:21you're happy with the suffixes and then
8:23you just use the uh all flame crafting
8:26to get like a nice prefix and and like
8:30in conjunction with like Eldrich
8:31currency. And that's exactly what we did
8:33here. We kind of did the same thing with
8:34our helm. Pretty pretty simple stuff. We
8:36did the same thing with our rings. Uh,
8:38in terms of crafting the despair on hit
8:40ring, you just get like a hunter ring
8:42and you just spam craft uh caster caster
8:47mod, the harvest crafting bench until
8:50you're happy with most of the stats on
8:51it. And then you can like exalt some
8:52stuff on if if need be with the uh all
8:55flame bench once again. And then this
8:57one was just one that like we just
8:58bought and then uh close your eyes and
9:01exalt over the all flame system and that
9:03worked pretty well. One thing we did do
9:05is we did catalyst up to get like more
9:07life since these both have I think T1
9:09life and I think it's double T1 life.
9:11Yep, double T1 life and then also get
9:14that mana cost uh to minus 8. That
9:16brought us down to one on the toxic rain
9:19cost. So that all worked out pretty
9:20perfectly there. Another big advantage
9:22of the oil flame system is being able to
9:24get like multiple bites out of a single
9:26divine on some uniques. So being able to
9:29divine a tides of time or um or
9:32progenesis and get multiple
9:34opportunities to choose like the best
9:36result has been really good. You really
9:37do want your life and utility to both be
9:39three charges every 3 seconds. Mana
9:41doesn't matter but if you can take it
9:43it's a fun flex to get triple threes and
9:45then again you catalyst up so you get
9:47more life recovery out of that as well.
9:49So that was good. We could shoot for
9:51like a nice double corrupt on a widow
9:52hail. I guess that would be something to
9:54like look into as like a high-end craft,
9:56but yeah, not anything super uh
9:58mandatory obviously since the builds
10:00cleared everything in the game, but that
10:03would probably be the move. It's that or
10:04maybe a volatile V orb and hope that it
10:06rolls above 250% for the bonuses from
10:08your quiver. So then the body armor uh
10:11is probably the first of the like three
10:13remaining expensive pieces that we
10:15should talk about. So there are really
10:16like four possible corrupts for your
10:18body armor that you could go after. And
10:21uh we did spend some time over the last
10:23weekend double corrupting a lot of a lot
10:26of Falbor lightning coils. A lot of them
10:28have sold. Um and we put well over 100
10:30divines into double corrupting uh
10:32Falborne lightning coils. And some of
10:34them have actually been pretty good and
10:35some of them have sold for a lot. Uh so
10:37the the double corruptions or the the
10:39corruption implicits that you're looking
10:41for are uh socketed duration gems,
10:43socketed AoE gems, socketed projectile
10:46gems, or just socketed gems because
10:48you're going to put your toxic rain into
10:49your body armor and it is a AoE
10:53iteration and a projectile skill. So
10:54plus two will apply to that. Uh if you
10:57get plus one to level of socket gems,
10:59then that'll apply to empower and that's
11:01you know one basically equals two in
11:03that situation. But the goal is to use
11:05that to get your toxic grain up to level
11:0730 so that you can then use a widow hail
11:09and a really nice quiver. So you don't
11:12need the widow hail to use a nice
11:13quiver. Like a nice quiver is just as
11:14its own reward, but you do need a nice
11:16quiver to use a widow hail cuz a widow
11:18hail on its own is worthless. It just
11:21makes your quiver count as though you're
11:23wearing three and a half quivers
11:24basically. So one of the big advantages
11:26of this is you get an absolutely insane
11:28amount of life. I mean we're over 6k
11:30life. Uh, one of the advantages of the
11:32foul lightning coil over the regular
11:34lightning coil is, you know, you you
11:36lose the life and you gain that 50% of
11:38chaos damage taken as lightning damage.
11:39First off, that's just a bit of a
11:41defensive bump because you're able to
11:43stack like 85ish%
11:46lightning res and that's better than 75.
11:49But also, you can run the life mastery
11:51that gives you 15% increased max life if
11:53there are no life mods on your body
11:54armor. That'll that'll give you like
11:56basically like another 200 something
11:58life. And then if you take this small
12:00passive as well, that'll give you about
12:02another 200 life, 100 something life. So
12:04you're going to be looking at more like
12:056600 life if you were to go with that
12:08setup at the expense of two passive
12:10points that you're otherwise devoting to
12:11like damage and stuff like this entropy
12:13section or uh aspect of the eagle, you
12:16know, something like that. But I mean,
12:186,600 life for a lifebased build is a
12:21lot for not being a strength stacker,
12:22right? The only real downside is that
12:24foul lightning coil is just more
12:26expensive and you do have to basically
12:28double corrupt them yourself in order to
12:29get that. Uh you are looking for two of
12:32those positive corruption uh implicits.
12:35You don't have to have two, but
12:36obviously two is going to be more
12:37valuable than one. I think at my current
12:40gearing level, like if I were to just
12:41drop one of those uh mods, like if I
12:44were to drop to this one, this one's
12:46just just a plus one level of socketed
12:48gems, I lose like 2 1/2 million full
12:52DPS. So, going from like 21 12 million
12:54DPS down to like 19. Still good enough
12:57to do everything in the game. Did
12:58basically everything in the game with
12:59that. And then just recently upgraded to
13:02this uh nicely double corrupted one, but
13:05yeah, you know, not as good. So, we did
13:07kind of do the whole nine yards in all
13:09these double crops, too. Like, buy them,
13:10quality them up to 20%, throw an enchant
13:12on to either give like fire res or
13:14strength, you know, something kind of
13:15cheaper, but still like more useful than
13:17the tiny bit of armor and evasion
13:18rating. Uh, get them up before sockets
13:20just cuz uh unfortunately after I think
13:23about 100 or so foul lightning coils, I
13:25don't know, I lost track after a while.
13:27I never hit on a like plus two and plus
13:29two that were both good for this build.
13:31I hit on like a plus one and a plus two
13:33on that were good for some other builds
13:34that sold them off. Uh, but never hit on
13:36a plus two and plus two that were good
13:37for this build or a plus one and plus
13:39two. I think the absolute ideal setup
13:41would be like socketed duration gems and
13:43socketed gems. That's like the best. But
13:45the difference between that and like the
13:47worst, which projectile is the weakest
13:49of the options, it's really not that
13:51much damage is a couple hundred thousand
13:53DPS, so not a huge deal. But I just
13:55[music] never hit on the Falbor
13:56lightning coil. So I ultimately just
13:57settled on a regular lightning coil and
14:00uh then just went with the two damage
14:01sectors instead or sections, you know,
14:03aspect of the eagle and entropy. It's
14:05fine. Totally [music] works. All right.
14:07So, with all of that being said, let's
14:08talk about the amulet that we uh we put
14:10together, the plus two dot multi amulet.
14:13You know, it's plus one level of skill
14:14gems, plus one level of chaos and dot
14:16multi. Uh so, what you're looking for in
14:19crafting that is it needs to at least be
14:21item level 82 first of all, so you can
14:22get that T1 dot multi. And then you want
14:24to start honestly with uh fractured plus
14:27one to level of all skill gems.
14:31You can start with other fractures, but
14:33like all skill gems is insanely hard to
14:36roll. The weight on it is incredibly low
14:38and it just is [music] like a form of
14:40torture to sit there on alt spam trying
14:43to get plus one to level up all skill
14:45gems. So, you're better off just
14:46starting with that. Then your goal is to
14:48just spam alts blah blah blah blah blah
14:50forever. Uh you will definitely lose
14:52some some sanity points doing this, but
14:54you just spam it until you hit T1. Uh,
14:57at this point you can use the all flame
14:58crafting to do a regal and try and hit a
15:00prefix so that you can uh just like much
15:03more easily enol that off. You could do
15:05an imprint at this point, but you don't
15:06really need to. You just take whatever
15:08prefix and then you craft uh suffixes
15:11can't be changed and then you scour it
15:13off. Tada. And now you're sitting there
15:15with just a prefix and just a suffix and
15:18you're in in good shape. All right. One
15:20editor's note here is that if you do get
15:22lucky with the all flame and you just
15:25regal on a really good suffix like I
15:27don't know T1 resistance or something,
15:30you can just take that and skip the part
15:32of scouring off whatever prefix like
15:35that's also fine. Congrats on getting
15:37lucky. Then what you want to do is craft
15:38suffixes can't be changed and go to the
15:40harvest crafting bench and just do uh
15:43add remove chaos. So what it'll do is
15:44it'll add a chaos mod and remove another
15:47mod. So, there are only two chaos mods
15:48available. Chaos Resz, which is a good
15:50mod. Like, that's good to get, or plus
15:53one to level of chaos skill gems, which
15:55is the preferred mod. And so, you'll do
15:57that. If you get chaos res, there's
15:59nothing wrong with that. You just do
16:00this again. You just craft suffixes
16:01can't be changed again. And now you do
16:03add remove chaos, and you get plus one
16:04level of chaos skill gems. And then at
16:07this point, what you do is you just
16:08simply go, okay, non-challing mana cost,
16:11craft, done. You could spam that up to
16:14plus seven. And then you go to the all
16:16flame mechanic and you exalt it and you
16:18close your eyes and you say, "Please,
16:20please, God, please." And hopefully you
16:22get something good.
16:24Yeah, this definitely uh could be
16:26better. Uh for me, I did a 50/50. So, I
16:30did I just got chaos right off the bat,
16:32which I actually would have been happy
16:33with getting uh chaos res, but I wasn't
16:36upset to not get it. So, um, I just
16:39crafted the non-chaning mana cost on and
16:42then closed my eyes and exalted and got
16:44T1
16:46I I don't remember and then I used the,
16:48uh, ducat currency to change it over to
16:50strength because this build does have
16:52some or I guess it's T2 uh, T2 strength.
16:54I was happy with that. And then I closed
16:56my eyes and did another uh, all flame
16:59exalt and got uh, increased global crit
17:01chance which was not useful at all. And
17:05uh given the amount of psychic damage
17:07that this uh craft inflicted uh with
17:10trying to get the T1 dot multi through
17:12alt spam, uh I have not felt up to doing
17:15another craft to try and get like a good
17:17stat. And honestly, it I don't need it,
17:19so it's fine. Uh so yeah, there you go.
17:21That's the that's the amulet. Not too
17:23bad. Then the quiver is um similar in
17:27terms of the level of uh brain pain
17:30that's going to occur. Uh but it's not
17:32too bad. So you do need to start with an
17:3486. I level quiver and it does also need
17:36to be hunter influence. And then what
17:38you do is you take it to the harvest
17:39crafting bench and you spam reforge
17:41chaos like a million times. You can do
17:43like I don't know just a million
17:44reforges of uh chaos which does cost
17:47yellow juice which is too bad. And what
17:49you're looking for is just T1 dot multi
17:51with attack skills and t T1 chaos multi
17:54with attack skills. You're looking for
17:55T1 on both of those. I would not
17:57recommend settling for T2 on either of
17:59them. Then you also need the other uh
18:01suffix to be free. So, this is where the
18:04league mechanic can come into play. As
18:06you can see, this has 91 intangibility.
18:08Um, anulling things can be kind of high
18:12on intangibility, which is a bit of a
18:14bummer. So, you don't really want to use
18:15that later on. But, you know, if you
18:17need to use that to to enol off the the
18:20other suffix that's not not one of the
18:22two dot multis, that may just have to
18:25happen. So, basically, what you're
18:26looking for is for your suffixes to be
18:28this chaos.
18:30T1 and regular multi T1. Then you will
18:34craft uh cannot roll attack mods. And
18:36the reason that you do this is because
18:38you are not able to uh interact with
18:40attack mods at all. You're also not able
18:42to like exalt them on like this blocks
18:44almost all of the uh possible prefixes.
18:47It blocks um none of the hunter ones cuz
18:50there are only two move speed and
18:52project projectiles. Pierce additional
18:53targets. Oh, but it blocks like all of
18:55these physical damage, etc. damage to
18:57attacks. Those are all blocked because
18:58you can't roll attack mods. So then
19:00you're only able to craft on damage with
19:02blow skills, which is awesome. And this
19:04is why we want the mod or the the quiver
19:06to be item level 86 cuz that that way
19:08you able to get T1 of that. And then you
19:11also want to try to shoot for um T1
19:14life. And so this is one of the like
19:17little quirks with the all-flame
19:19crafting system is once you've gotten to
19:20that point where you have that cannot
19:22roll attack mods, you can exalt on using
19:24the all-flame system and that adds very
19:28little intangibility and that'll help
19:29you hit on some like T1 life, T1 damage
19:32with bow skills, T1 move speed, which
19:33are what you're looking for. You could
19:35settle for less than T1 on the life that
19:37in the end of the world. I guess the
19:39same is true with the move speed,
19:40although I I wouldn't. Uh but the damage
19:43of both skills is pretty huge actually.
19:45So, you probably don't want to settle,
19:47but you can absolutely like not bother
19:49with enoling. When you enol, you won't
19:50be able to hit the two attack mods.
19:52You'll only be able to hit either the
19:54crafted mod or the prefixes. So, it
19:57might go like that or it might go like
19:59this. If you enol off the crafted mod,
20:01then you just recraft it. It cost a
20:03divine every time. So, this can get kind
20:04of expensive, but that's pretty much it
20:06for the quiver craft. not difficult once
20:09you get locked in with your two dot
20:11multi suffixes, but it is kind of
20:14painful getting to that point.
20:16Shockingly, this came together very
20:17easily. Like, obviously, I'm at the end
20:19of my rope in terms of intangibility, so
20:21I wouldn't have been able to go any
20:22further, but I got triple T1. So, this
20:24character did go to level 100. It was
20:26super easy. Like, easiest it's been in a
20:28long time. In terms of the tree, nothing
20:31is really out of the ordinary. Like,
20:33everything pretty much went exactly as
20:34we planned. We did get enough ant to be
20:36able to do uh all the ant mods up here
20:38uh or ant passives up here as uh crit
20:41damage reduction tattoos. It's not
20:44mandatory, but it's cool. You do also
20:46want to use some amount of tattoos of
20:47the tough herbalist. You will just want
20:49to put this in a pob and like check your
20:50uptime on all of your flasks and make
20:52sure it's at least 100%. You can kind of
20:54do a little napkin math as well. Pretty
20:56easy. Make sure you've got enough uh
21:00decks to still be suppression capped as
21:02well. like make sure that your
21:03suppression chance is still good cuz
21:06like if I were to throw in say one more
21:09flask duration I think I might drop down
21:11to 99. Yeah. So you want to be aware of
21:14that as well. Then you obviously want to
21:16make sure you have like enough strength
21:17to be able to use petrified blood and
21:18stuff. [music] So in terms of jewels and
21:21the new bloodline ascendancy, those are
21:23kind of the two big things to point out.
21:25Uh jewels we're always using a light of
21:27meaning and um a natural instinct
21:30overlapping with each other. We always
21:31want to hit 37 to 43% area of effect.
21:33So, we're getting some area of effect
21:35off of unnatural instinct and ancestral
21:36vision. Those are the two easiest uh
21:39jewels to get those increased area of
21:41effect corrupts on. And then that allows
21:42us to run just increased damage during F
21:45flask effect, which is a little bit
21:47better than we get off of uh like area
21:50damage out of a glove prefix. So, that
21:52winds up being a net positive for us.
21:55Theoretically, if we could get a light
21:56of meaning with 5% area of effect,
21:58corrupt and unnatural instinct and
22:01ancestral vision all with 5% area of
22:03effect corrupt and 12% from gloves and
22:0610% from helm, that would put us at
22:08exactly 37% without this bow mastery,
22:11which would then allow us to take the uh
22:1420% increase bonuses from equipped
22:16quiver, which isn't a huge DPS increase,
22:18but it's I mean it's more than zero. Um,
22:20so that would be cool. Unfortunately,
22:24this light of meaning, they're pretty
22:26rare. They're fairly expensive. I mean,
22:27they're not like horribly expensive, but
22:29they're over a divine each. So, they're
22:30just isn't a supply of these with area
22:32of effect corrupts on them uh at all.
22:35So, it's something you could try playing
22:36around buying and like doing that
22:39yourself and maybe turn that into like a
22:41little project that could be fun and
22:42maybe even profitable. Uh but it just is
22:45something we had put together. So, yeah,
22:48that's about it on the jewel front. Uh,
22:51we'll also point out that Falbor
22:52Witchbane is super awesome with this
22:53build. We are using um a cluster jewel
22:57with unspeakable gifts. So that's 10%
22:58chance to explode enemies when they die
23:01uh if they're cursed, which they're
23:02always cursed because of the curse on
23:03hit ring. Felborn witchbane, same thing.
23:0515% is what it rolls up to. Uh so you
23:08got 25% chance to explode. It's not
23:10quite a cultist level, but it's
23:11literally halfway there. It's
23:13incredible. The the clear feels insane,
23:15especially with um the fact that we have
23:17everything at like max wither stacks
23:18basically all the time, too. So, it
23:20explodes for a lot of damage because it
23:22is all chaos damage and they're taking
23:24more than double. So, insane clear
23:26because of that. So, that's super good.
23:28We are using a flesh and flame uh for
23:30gathering winds and they are uh both
23:33foil because foil is cool and I think
23:36more people get flesh and flame out of
23:38foil than they do out of uh actually
23:41killing the bosses if we're being real.
23:44Also, Watchers Eye. Now that we don't
23:45need clarity, we just went with a
23:47classic like phasing haste and dot multi
23:49malevolence watchers eye. So that's all
23:52good. In terms of the league mechanic
23:56ascendancy, the the bloodline ascendancy
23:59from killing the league mechanic boss,
24:02this this section here, the brine rot
24:04ascendy node is really good. However,
24:07you do have to give up nature's boon,
24:09which is like a move speed and a bit of
24:12resistances, although not like an
24:14insurmountable loss or anything. Like
24:16I'm very clearly overcapped on
24:18resistances. Uh, but the move speed is
24:20like a kind of noticeable loss and you
24:23do lose like a little bit of flask up
24:24time and stuff. And what you gain is you
24:26gain this big circle called drowning
24:28domain which we'll click on. And what
24:30this does is it is a secondary debuff.
24:32So people were worried about the way
24:33this would work that it would like steal
24:35your damage over time. doesn't at all.
24:37What it does is it stores an extra 30%
24:40of all the damage of over time that you
24:42deal to enemies as like this uh
24:44secondary debuff and then when you walk
24:46away from them that debuff just pops and
24:48does that damage instantly. So, it's
24:50basically a 30% more damage multiplier
24:52on all of your damage. The issue is we
24:55just haven't felt like we needed it for
24:56anything other than bossing and maybe
24:58like you know uber bosses it would
24:59actually be worth swapping into. Uh the
25:02small passive size nice too. Yeah, I
25:04mean it works really well, especially
25:05with just the way that you play this
25:06class of kind of shoot and move and
25:07shoot and move and shoot and move. And
25:09even though it doesn't look like it's
25:10that big of a circle, we are in the uh
25:14Atlas hideout, which is a little
25:16deceptive. Like if we go to I don't
25:19know, let's go to like blood aqueduct, a
25:20place everybody's been a million times,
25:22right? And show off how big the circle
25:23is. I don't know if it's scaling with
25:25area of effect. Uh we do have a lot of
25:27area of effect on this character, so it
25:29seems like it's a decent size. Maybe it
25:30is, maybe it isn't. I don't know. I
25:31don't care. It's like pretty big. The
25:33issue is just like for most of the
25:35mapping and charting and all of the
25:37normal stuff that we do on the
25:38character. Like it basically has no
25:39impact, right? For bossing, it's sick as
25:42hell. Like it's literally one of the
25:43best bonuses that's ever been thrown to
25:45players for for bossing. I mean, it's
25:47it's literally 30% more damage, right?
25:50Unbelievable how good it is. The only
25:52issue that we've really run into is a
25:53lot of bosses will move away to go into
25:55an immunity phase. Think about Cirrus
25:57and that part has sucked. But yeah, this
25:59might be something to use for uh for
26:01like Maven witnessing stuff or like Uber
26:03bossing or something like that. That
26:04could be really effective. And uh yeah,
26:08that aspect of it definitely something
26:10to consider. I don't know, we might play
26:11around with this a bit more in the
26:12coming days. Even though this is our
26:14last update, it's it's definitely like
26:16the only bloodline ascendy that's any
26:18good. And it's not like you need
26:19nature's boon. Uh it literally just
26:21gives you like more move speed and like
26:23a little bit more resistances. like you
26:24get like two max light res which is not
26:27nothing but it's not mandatory either.
26:29So ultimately that is where we wound up
26:32with that. Very cool on paper and
26:34actually still pretty cool in execution.
26:36The ability to like do a big pop of
26:38damage to enemies and then set them up
26:40to be killed by a cooling strike from
26:42your uh your one frenzy arrow is kind of
26:44cool too. So big fan of this. Big fan of
26:46this league in general. This is still
26:48our favorite build as always. I mean we
26:50love it. We could easily just play it
26:51for the rest of the league, but it's
26:52probably better contentwise to play
26:54around with something else. We could
26:55probably throw a hundred more or a few
26:57hundred more divines into getting like
26:58perfect double corrupts on everything
27:00like uh the bow and certainly on the
27:03belt. Variety's good anyways. It keeps
27:04things feeling fresh. With that being
27:06said, it's going to be pretty close to
27:07impossible to find a build that's as fun
27:08as this has been for the current league
27:10mechanic. All right, so that is it. This
27:13league has been super fun for us. Uh
27:15we're really really vibing with it and
27:17this build and uh hopefully you will
27:19too. Be sure to like and subscribe if
