greetings Exiles. A new league has begun, and so it's time to make a real hero out of this zero. Since this is a melee League, I chose Sweep because it is a fun skill, and my ascendancy is Slayer. No comment on that. First trade in this league and the first chaos orb. Let's get a nice amulet now. Extra Gore, just what I need. My ship has arrived. Wow! Let's see what it brought me. I knew it, scam. Nice loot explosion. Magic find is still alive. Now the real adventure begins. As you all know, the developers buffed all melee skills in the game, and to tell the truth, that can be felt already in the campaign. Going through the AXS was a pleasure, but now let's see how this build will show itself on the maps and hard content. [Music] [Music] Everything dies very quickly, no problems. Wait a minute, what is this? It's a crucible mechanic, but why dear developers, remove this channeling mechanic. Nobody likes it.

one small upgrade because my current weapon [Music] sucks. Easy Money unexpected but nice. Let's sell this trash and buy the real armor. Cool. And some scuffed craft as for my Atlas it looks like this and that's map sustain and Kirax missions pretty standard choices also I block ritual because the monsters from it are very annoying and deadly in this [Music] league. So sorry this time without the best mechanics in the game. Other than that I added Syndicate because it's a good source of experience in the early game and also because I need crafting recipes and as a bonus this mechanic can give some pretty nice bonuses like this one or this one is also a gift from The Syndicate not bad isn't it. I need some more chaos or and I can buy a good ax okay I got it sometimes lucky all the time now I can definitely buy a really cool weapon I think this is what I need over 800 physical DPS with such a big stick my progress will be very fast and I can earn even

more currency nice sound cannibals. I love them. They didn't even let me read what this Sentinel does. Oh yeah, that's exactly why we love Sentinels. Let's get our first void Stones now. No problems. [Music] No problems and No Loot. Well, most of the atlas is complete. Now we can make another atlas that I will use to earn currency. Something like this. The core is destructive play because it's not a bad way to get rare Maps, which can be sold. Also, Shaper and Elder Maps. I need to get my last void Stones. I also added some nodes for scarabs because they are expensive at the start of the league, but with the new market, it's much easier and faster to sell. [Music] Them very cool feature. I also added some strong boxes because it's a fun mechanic and also a profitable mechanic. Very profitable. Pretty simple strategy, but let's see what happens. Tink not bad and there's no valuable loot unlucky. My current skill tree looks

like this and I'd like to talk a little bit about the current build. Blood Magic and Resolute Technique are very strong keystones at the start of the game, so they solve our mana and accuracy problems and allow us to get better gear. Personally, I'm very happy that I chose to go that way. But now I've earned some Divine orbs, and it's time to take it to the next level and give up those keystones. I need more damage. For this, I will replace determination with pride and Herald of Purity because it is a big DPS boost, and also because determination, after Nerf, is so much worse for physical damage. I will use endurance charges and armor from gear, skill tree, and flasks. And going a little ahead, I will say that it is quite enough. I also use precise technique to increase my damage and some spell suppression because it's a good defense layer for late game. With the skill tree, I'm done. But now I need new gear: new gloves, accuracy, life resistances, and spell suppression. The main stats I need.

a ring and thread of Hope, which will allow us to save a lot of skill points and still get strong nodes. I bought all the necessary items, and it's time to test what I got. I will say that the damage has increased, and at the same time, the survivability is enough for t16 maps and non-Uber bosses. [Music] I'm thinking that I forgot something. Ah, yes, the new league mechanics. Let's talk about it a little bit. Honestly, building a city looks very weird to me because I am playing The Path of Exile because I like to kill monsters to find valuable loot, and all these mines, farms, and workers look boring to me. With all these things, the loot from the new mechanics is very modest, and to get it, you have to do a lot of action to improve your town. Maybe we don't know yet broken strategies that will give us a lot of currency or crazy items, but so far the league mechanics don't excite or interest me. Wow, first valuable loot and another Divine.

orb, you know what? Forget what I said. This is the best mechanic. GGG are the best developers, but enough ranting. It's time to get back to the maps. I changed my Atlas slightly, and now there are Syndicate strong boxes, scarabs, and red altars. I can't say it's the most profitable strategy, but it works for me. But what's most important is not the profit per hour, but the fact that I'm having real fun, and that's the main [Music] thing. So far, everything is going according to plan, and I am happy with this build. But there are still a lot of upgrades ahead: the last two void stones, and of course, lucky drops. But it will all be in the next series. I hope you enjoyed this video and found it useful. Thank you all for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. Also, I will be very grateful for your likes and subscription. Bye everyone, and see you in the new video.
