hey guys, what's up? It's new. I'm here with a video, a kind of recap video over my day two experience, maybe a little bit of day one also because I came out with a video yesterday that was just highlights and stuff. So this time, I figured I'd switch gears and fill you guys in on some of the more detailed, you know, the good stuff about how the league experience is going, especially in regards to the build, the new ascendancy, as well as the league mechanic and stuff. I actually am doing the league mechanic at Leag Star, which is almost never happens for me, so I'm just going to let you know how things are going, and if you have any questions afterwards, you can leave them down in the comments below. I'm basically just going to kick things off. I got a list right here of some of the major things that I don't want to forget to mention, and then just kind of quickly go over the gear so you know where I'm at.

basically, uh, as well as a mapping showcase, even a bossing invitation showcase is, uh, this build's overperforming in terms of bosses, as concerned, I'm quite pleased with that a bit of a different experience for me, definitely, anyway, uh, to start with the best part of the league, I feel, is the warden leveling Andor mapping experience, I'm level 93 now, and definitely, uh, dying a few times, let's go ahead and see that in, oh, 184 deaths, we got, uh, 245,000 kills, and played is probably the biggest one here, one day, 11 hours played, yeah, so kind of starting my day three, but anyway, absolutely loving the ascendancy, the whole like, uh, the freeze stuff, the stuff about freeze, I knew it was over the top hypothetically, but it just came out as well as I thought, and it works exactly as I imagined it to work in the best-case scenario, so absolutely Blown Away doesn't feel like too slow to me, not when you get like Onslaught and quick

silver and stuff and really yeah really great in maps. I'm already able to do some Legions. You're going to see that towards the end of the video. Quite impressed with the level of gear and how much it can do there. I'd say the worst thing about the league is the boat Hideout League. I really don't like the league mechanic. I'm experiencing more fomo than I've ever experienced in previous League. I absolutely despise time gated content personally. I come from a history playing World of Warcraft and having very, shall we say, negative experiences with daily quests, things like that all the way back burning Crusade and wrath Ling and feeling like absolutely obligated to do those things to be prepared for whatever being efficient, and I just despise it. I feel like I can't skip out on it, and I want to spend less time in this town and more time in maps, but this is effectively functioning. It's a hideout for me. Yes, I understand people are

pulling some crazy things out of the ships and out of maps. And maybe it's worth it, but I just, it just feels like I'm more behind than I am, I guess. And I, I just don't like the feeling of, you know, it just feels like I'm in a hideout, basically. Uh, yeah, so that's kind of the worst thing about the league. I feel I'm not a big fan of League mechanic. I understand a lot of people like building in town and all that stuff. People who like spending time in a hideout are going to like this league for sure, confirmed that Beyond is a fantastic League mechanic for this build. I'd say again, I mentioned this in previous videos, the best league mechanic for this build in referencing the archetypal Lightning Arrow Deadeye absolutely crumbles with this kind of gear, especially prior to this gear, just completely gets just wrecked by Beyond in maps. However, this build can handle it easily. The Beyond spawns in massive quantity all around me. It's frozen.

instantly with or without the houseon. Okay with or without proliferation, it just gets Frozen every single Beyond mob, except the boss, but it's okay cuz I do higher boss damage so it's not that big deal. And then also Expedition is good and I'm running a sort of Beyond Expedition has been a major focus of mine, uh now getting Legion into play, kind of subing out the heist stuff and going into Legion, which was kind of going from one Atlas Strat to another, and that's where I'm at right now, we'll see them happen in a little bit. Here's another big Epiphany, no far shot or return projectile enchants, apparently on Bose. We got teased a picture in the trailer, the major trailer for this league, so I'm pretty pretty demoralized by the fact that we as bow bills don't even get those two things. We get an additional curse, which ironically is not bad since we're doing Scorch anyway, and get elemental weakness and sniper's Mark into a build, which wouldn't

be as good for Dead Eye but uh yeah got to wear the fledgling helmet because of this absolutely got to drop the heat shiver wear the fledgling. I've seen heat shiver go way up in Valley so if the FL Lane cost way more than heat shiver you could justify wearing heat shiver but doesn't seem to really be the case so yeah going to go with this helmet I think all the way now so that didn't see that coming y. Scorch is weaker uh with return projectiles it says you double Scorch but for some reason it's prioritizing the return projectiles uh and then you know it's weaker whether you have far shot or not I'm I'm kind of perturbed about that so one Scorch is really high almost Max and the other one is like not even half so I don't know what's going on maybe that's a bug but it seems kind of unreasonable you know when when you get a an ascendency that gives you scorch and says it can be scorched twice.

so why wouldn't it just take the two best hits regardless of whether it's there or back. Not sure. Uh, but shock is reliable. Okay, so I figured that defiled forces may or may not be needed. It looks like defiled forces probably not going to be needed because both the ignite from the minions and shock is quite reliable. So it could be going, um, you know, for the increased lightning ailment duration. The static charges I think is annoying or even something else, maybe even Whispers of Doom, get another curse in. Not exactly sure what I'm going to do there, but for now, you know, still wearing this, uh, because the houseon is still seven divines. Another unforeseen thing about the build, it drops off T. I think you even drop in maps off of the toll boss that spawns in breach, but for whatever reason, the Hon's very rare. And yeah, I know I've dropped one in maps before, but, uh, yeah, unfortunate. So I apologize about that. That one I didn't see coming. I knew it would be a little

bit rare League start, but I don't know. We'll see. It might crash after a long time. I mentioned a second ago about ignite with minions. Yes, mirror Arrow works okay. Mirror Arrow bombarding clones connected to combustion and Mana Forge arrows and frenzy is a really good four-link, especially when you don't need crit. Obviously, power charge on crit may be needed somehow in some way. Can maybe drop combustion and just rely on the quick chance for the minion. It's not going to be that great, but yeah. So ignite doesn't show up on the monster's health bar like Scorch does, but you can, I mean, you know this because you run with burning arrow on the very first zone of the League start, right? And you kill Hillock out there, and you can see him lit on fire and he's taking the damage, but he doesn't have an actual ignite icon near them. So you can test this yourself. I promise it's working, and that's really great. So very cool tech interaction that does indeed work with this build. So we can't ignite ourselves.

but we can make our minions ignite force and dramatically improve Elemental hit of the spectrum's damage as well as off of the double taming here speak of double taming. I've dropped four of these in lead now. Barracks for spites has been one of the better things happened to me. Also had a omen of connections that helped supercharge my build, but I have only dropped one Divine orb. I did get one from a ship. I've only dropped one Divine orb, so quite unlucky there I guess. Daro's best in slot for the chest. I was running kinsi, but I didn't take into account it leaks start. Perhaps I should have the notion of running a six socketed five length item. So if you have six socketed five length item, you get two additional uh two additional gem link spots. So these two gems here are usually in the helmet with the other ores, but in this case I can in fact uh bring in cast and damage taken imortal call, which does indeed work uh in the best case of.

scenario with d Defiance, which already remove your endurance charges. It does kick in so you get the increased duration of immortal call. It works really, really especially against uh the kind of um, you know, shock burst spell hits or running trying to run through a tornado can save your life definitely. So yeah, tornadoes is one of the big reasons why I've died so much. Not a big fan of those but I I don't know maybe they're going to make him weaker uh that's my excuse for all the deaths yeah uh but anyway those are the major things let me show you the gear we looking at it. I crafted this bat with uh hatred Essences and regrettably you know I I didn't want to settle I wanted to get one that was pretty good and I did end up spending like four divines on this weapon I think in total four or five in total linking it and everything so quite expensive here especially considering it's not a Krypto but at any rate it's been wonderful and it's great.

I'm still running with no crit, because I'm running precise technique, and it certainly is time for me to switch to crit now at level 93. Um, it's going to be one of the next things on my agenda, is crafting a crit bow. Pain Seekers working like a charm here. I mentioned Dar Defiance and fledgling already. Still running career reward, 'cause can't AFF houseon yet. I got this through a trade last time. I actually don't like it. I'm going to stop wearing this soon, uh, because while the ex additional arrow is great, I don't. I don't like Point Blank. I know it's crippling my damage. I know how to play with Point Blank. Return projectiles are very weak with this quiver and point blank, plus far shot, which I do have, is a net positive on all ends, but it's. It's barely a net positive at long range, anything 70 plus units, so it's pretty rough. And yeah, I'm. I'm on the lookout for a just a straight-up decent corruption with flat damage, right.

now, yeah. So, not worth it. I feel it's still obviously a great quiver overall, but yeah, anyway, still running L I paw this four link working very, very well, getting a lot of value. And yes, that calling strike does work super strong. Crafted this belt wasn't too bad. We got new W ranges of Maximum life goes up to 142 life, I think now, so that's pretty cool. Armor is actually kind of decent considering I am getting some armor now with these three items, kind of nice. And then I flask or crafted all the flasks here, and this cost a pretty penny. Uh, glass bobles are rare this game for some reason, and I just came out of a map which I'll show you in a second, but I figured really nothing, man, that's sad. Uh, first, I'm going to show you an invitation here. So, yeah, you can see the town, everything is like rank eight, pretty much everything is rank eight. I'm not going to show you what I'm doing, I guess apparently, you know, sending the ships out with the food, uh, after you get.

the bonus thing for that is the way to do it. And then just run maps and try to get red maps. And you know highest level workers you can. Anyway, let me show you an invitation. It's going to be kind of cool. This is an invitation, the Elder Slayers. I usually don't run this, at least not with this level gear. I mean, this is like, you know, aside from the corruption here, this is still like a 10 Divine. It's less than 10 divines worth of gear. I would usually never run this on a sort of lightning Arrow Elemental hit of the spectrum, dead eye. Be very sketchy. But let's see how this goes. Here, I'm going to show you kind of what this is capable of doing boss-wise. Oh, we got Baron to start. Okay. And you know, I got a major cool down, right? I got a major cool down at my disposal, which I still can't even cast. So if I kill these two successfully, which I did, and then died after, where's my calling strike, dude?

well now I don't get the cool down. That's kind of sad. Oh well, if I hadn't died there, I could have popped everything, just blown these guys up. Okay, cool. Down's up. Val Grace is also up. St still. Okay, I guess I should try to oo. Must have evaded those. So he's like about to die, right? Right? Right. Okay, yeah. So that's way more damage than I normally do against these guys. And usually it takes almost all six, even if I'm successful against them with the Dead Eye. It takes all six portals or close to it. And I typically purchase a carry for that. Not going to lie, but this character could totally handle it. I mean, I barely died once. So there you go. You saw it. An extra point. So now I'm only missing three points because I was able to do a lot of stuff. And I may even do the Breach Lords or the Synth B. I think I could definitely do the Synth bosses. Actually, I've just now switched over to Eer of World Side because the iers are

worth a lot more than Embers now. I am running this Atlas at this time. I was running this one, which is nice. Got the Huck in and you know beyond and the extra Buffs. And I like killing the Beyond. Killing the Beyond bosses is fun. Now it doesn't take that long anymore an expedition. This was the Strat with Heist that I was running before. It was quite lucrative and good. Now I'm going to be doing a full-blown Legion with e of world. Still getting some Nico and Expedition. I'm actually going to include expedition in now. Trying to rotate Maps between Dunes. We got Dunes down here and we got bog somewhere here. Yeah, bog. Okay, dunes and bogs is Ace transition. So if you're running Legion, a ping-ponging strap between ding BS with a zero investment might be a good way to go about it because uh Legion on bog is still nice. So I like this map because I can guarantee I'm guaranteeing two Legions.

by putting Legion in right CU, I got a legion there. Okay, I got eer of world. I got a regex that I was using. I'll probably post the regex in the video, and this guarantees two Legions Expedition. Most Maps will have Nico, and every map will have Beyond on it as well. That's a really nice Strat, especially when I like Expedition and Beyond more than usual. And then this build can already handle Legion fairly well. And this is no inspired learning, no crit, and I'm going to show you now the performance level of this bosses get Perma Frozen, even when they are ghosted, they're still Perma. A lot of Boss, not every boss, basically the smaller bosses get Perma Frozen. Okay. And you know I'm spec pretty deep into Expedition here, so they're juicy, they're juicy. And even Rog Rog log books are worth a lot right now. I just need to make sure I really don't want cold immune, although I can run it, I especially don't want 100% chance to

avoid Elemental ailments. That's actually bad. And now here's what I do. I love this. I pop Val Grace and Unbound at the same time with all flask. You just like blow everything up and just run in here and literate an expedition. It's all Frozen. It can't do anything. Yeah, some of the options on eer worlds are pretty bad. Basically just fishing for divine orbs and Elder chers. You can see this is going to come up again. And I pop it at the beginning. So I just popped all my CDs right here to open up the legion can help me even though I'm a little bit undergeared for this right. Oh, it looks like I got unlucky with this spawn a little bit on the back and might even fully open this Legion. Not quite. And then it's up again. Actually, the funny thing is all of it's up again if it takes me the full time to open the legion. So that's a kind of a silver lining to not opening the legion ASAP is I get to use Unbound to open it.

and Unbound with Val Grace. Val Grace is really strong. You pop up open Legion or run into an expedition. It allows me to Stand My Ground more. And as far as spell damage is concerned, all spell damage hit against me are unlucky. And then here we go, we got a boss and look at this damage guys. You see he's cold there. Now my unbound's not up right now so I'm going to not have it here. Bog is not the greatest map, it's okay but you can see it's fairly open. I think I am going to pop it right here. Got nuked okay, dropped a tainted Mythic orb. I was hoping for fusing but guys, uh, you know if I was really like a god gamer, imagine running this Atlas on day one. This would have been, it would have absolutely made an utter killing being able to do day one Legion with day one Beyond at the same time and then getting like day one log log book value with like Rog and everything being even big expensive. This would been nuts so

everything's obviously cut down now. Uh, you know, the value of a lot of the stuff we're farming here is much less than it is on day one or day two, and we're now entering day three. So, you know, it is what it is. A lot more people are able to do this kind of farm, but it's still an impressive farm, I'd say, for, you know, day three. Warden kind of stuff with this kind of gear. So, if you're somebody who is rocking this build and it's going, you know, similarly for you, beyond is making a killing, dude. The Tain fusing are still worth 50 chaos a piece, okay, and tainted chromes are like five chaos a piece. Even tainted fusings or tainted Jewelers are worth something. Okay, I got the adjacent Dunes map drop, which is great. And yeah, this is the ultra-strict filter that I'm running. It's not prioritizing special Scarab drops, but, you know, really just going deep on Expedition, Beyond, and Legion. And it's fun. It's obviously even

better to run on dunes than bog, but I figured I'd show bog. Oh, there we go. What I get here? Okay, nice, not bad. Logbook, and I did have Nico on the map too. All right, so this can show you how slow the warden is with no buffs up. Okay, my Onslaught down, and I have no Quicksilver. It's slow, right? A little bit slow, but you know with Quicksilver, it's faster, and with Onslaught, it's even faster. So there is some speed difference there. Um, but Nico helps, the Pact with Energy definitely helps, and then the Quicksilver and the Onslaught on kill definitely helps a lot. So here's the last look at the build. Uh, next transition to crit, or actually I'm going to trans, probably going to transition one Inspired Learning, because I think I have, I think I have the currency right now to buy an Inspired Learning. I should, I think what I'm going to do is I'm probably going to Speck out of like these points here.

and I'll put like little frenzy, and I'll get this whole thing right here. Very slight deviation of the build I needed. I felt like I needed to go all in on this. The Mana is kind of intense, kind of running out of Mana, but it's okay. I could alternatively just go silver flask instead of s it or whatever. Oh yeah, one other deviation, this is the more advanced play, is to skip out on the life flask. I made the build guide without the life flask for the lowest level nonquit version because I wanted, you know, I wanted to give you guys the life flask. I personally don't really want to play with one, and I think this is an absolute Superior substitute to this. This does remove any regen from the build because I'm no longer getting this right here, but I mean you just straight up immune to bleeding corrupted blood. I, you know what that means now. Not having steel skin doesn't matter as much, and um, don't have to like quickly pop that life flask to save my own life, and I got so much leech and stuff as long as

I'm leeching against Monsters. It makes really no difference. There you got to see whether it was the boss fight or in maps, right? So yeah, everything's looking good. PR by the Numbers here. Don't have points here, got them over here instead. And I'm about to get inspired learning. I'm about to craft a crit bow. And then I'm going to completely turn this thing upside down and go full-blown crit. Probably drop even more life. Still not 3K life. H's will also be in hers is cheaper now than usual, by the way. So it's not some eight Divine chest like it was last league. So some things are more expensive than foreseen, some are less expensive than foreseen. I guess it all kind of evens out. Let me know what you think about the league mechanic. And if you're playing the build, let me know your experience. I've heard a lot of great things. I have had some concerns. Some people say they're not having a good experience, but I guess

that's all in all, that's going to be the case no matter what. I know a lot of people follow a build. Some are going to have a good time with it, some are not, and I just hope you are if you're League starting it. So, sounds like most people definitely are for the most part, but that's it for me. That is my day two recap, wrapping up the video. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in another video soon. The next video might have something to do with farming some maps for currency. I don't know, we'll see. All right, I'm out. See you guys later.

[PoE 3.25] DAY TWO League Start Build Recap

SnooBAE85

A Detailed Recap of My Gaming Experience in the New League

The video provides a detailed overview of the speaker's experience in the new gaming league, including the build, ascendancy, and league mechanic.

The speaker is pleased with the performance of the build, especially in boss fights, and is enjoying the new ascendancy and its freeze effects.

However, they express dislike for the league's boat hideout mechanic, feeling pressured by the time-gated content and preferring to spend more time in maps.

Frustrations with the Current League Mechanic in Path of Exile

The Beyond league mechanic is causing frustration for the player's build, except for handling Beyond spawns easily.

The player is shifting focus from Heist to Legion in the Atlas strategy and feeling demoralized by the lack of certain bow enchants in the current league.

The player is also perturbed by the weakness of Scorch with return projectiles, finding it unreasonable and possibly a bug.

Improving Elemental Hit Build with Ignite and Minions

Consider using increased lightning ailment duration and Whispers of Doom for an Elemental Hit build.

Mirror Arrow with combustion and Mana Forge arrows is effective for igniting minions.

The build benefits from making minions ignite to improve Elemental Hit damage, but has been unlucky with dropping Divine orbs.

Consider using a six socketed five-link item for additional gem link spots, such as cast when damage taken immortal call.

Review of Bow and Gear Setup in Path of Exile

Using Darkest Defiance can extend the duration of Immortal Call, providing great survival against powerful spell hits.

The player has invested heavily in crafting a high-quality bow, but is considering transitioning to a critical strike build at level 93.

The current quiver setup is causing some issues with damage, and the player is looking for a better one.

Strategies for Efficiently Running Maps in Path of Exile

Players can efficiently run maps by focusing on high-level workers and using a ping-ponging strategy between Dunes and Bogs for Legion encounters.

The use of specific gear and character build allows for successful boss encounters with minimal deaths, reducing the need to purchase carries.

By rotating maps between Dunes and Bogs, players can guarantee two Legion encounters, making the strategy lucrative.

Efficient Strategies for Handling Expeditions and Bosses in Path of Exile

Using a specific Legion placement strategy guarantees two Legion Expeditions and ensures the presence of Nico and Beyond on most maps.

The build is capable of effectively handling Legion encounters, with the ability to perma-freeze smaller bosses.

The combination of Val Grace and Unbound flasks allows for a powerful approach to opening Legions and running expeditions, providing a strong advantage in the game.

Efficient Farming and Build Optimization in Path of Exile

Farming remains impressive on day three with valuable drops like Tain fusing and tainted chromes.

The build optimization includes transitioning to crit and making advanced plays like skipping the life flask for superior substitutes.

The focus is on increasing speed and efficiency through gear and skill choices.

The speaker is planning to make significant changes to their gaming strategy, particularly focusing on a crit bow and sacrificing life.

They acknowledge the fluctuating prices of in-game items in the new league.

Despite some concerns about the gaming experience, they recognize that it varies from player to player.

Overall, the speaker is wrapping up their day two recap and looking ahead to the next gaming video.
