Path of Exile: Incursion League starts soon! Anyone playing?
If so, what build are you going to use at the start?
I'm relatively new to PoE so really looking forward to this new league. Thinking I may start with Molten Strike or something like that. Still undecided, like usual :)
Trappers are extremely strong this league. A ton of new traps were added, and mechanics were changed to make them easier to use. Highly recommended if you're pretty fresh (look at some of Mathil or ZiggyD's build guides).
Because I hate guaranteed things though, I've got a custom build that uses charged dash with cast while channeling. I'm not entire sure WHAT I'll be casting in the end--right now I'm using arc because I don't have a Sire of Shards yet, but once I get one I'll switch to either ball lightning or frostbolt. Going with a trickster since they have an ascendant ability that reduces the cost of any movement skill to 0, which charged dash is. Now I can reserve 100% of my mana for buffs and still dash/cast forever! Endgame I plan to get a Queen of the Forest chest to really juice my movespeed; this should result in charged dash fully charging after right around .7 seconds or so (and casting the linked spells around twice in that time)
It's working well so far but I have no idea how long it'll go until it peters out. This is for sure not a shaper build, but I'm hoping to push red maps. Clearspeed should be alright.
I really should look into traps more. They just don't sound fun to me!
Your build sounds like a lot of fun! I feel a bit too noobish to create my own, so I'm following this guide for now. Been having some decent luck on drops to make leveling easy but also I've been having trouble making much progress in Incursions. I'm just too slow at the moment.
I'm also hoping to get to mapping as I've never actually finished acts 6-10 (played before the expansion with my highest being around 68).
May the loot gods smile upon you! Good luck :)
