Why These Are NOT My Next League Starter 

3.24 isn't even announced yet and new subtractem PoE content has already got me hyped for new league

I played your SRS guardian league start and it was amazing. I’m by no means a casual but I still prefer following a guide. The updates to your league start was also very appreciated keeping up with changes or optimization. Will definitely be watching all your league start videos but I’m probably doing bone zone this time

always appreciate all the great work you put in - makes POE a lot more approachable and easier to understand!

Your SRS minions build helped me get into PoE deep for my first league. I know I couldn't have done it without you and know I'm not alone in that. Thank you so much!

3.23 was my first season ever. I used your SrS on Maxroll and I was able to get through red maps with no problem. I don’t like how specters work on the game and how they can disappear, but that’s nothing against you. Build worked amazingly well and guide make it as easy as it can be for a noob.

Your SRS Guardian was my build in Affliction, the first league I ever played. I'm hooked. Now to decide what I play for Necropolis.

👍 My league start is always the same, Unstable Minions. Witch, maximum minion life, I use a staff and run Cyclone, Cast whlie channeling, SRS, aggressive minions, Infernal Legion, Spark(now Spark of Nova),. 😸 This build runs well on all platforms.(Consoles, and PC). ✌️

Love seeing your thought process on what you're looking for with each league starter

In your stream you said that, said somthing about sticking to long on a league start and have a bit of regret about it(not the exact same quote) but seing all the comment saying you help lots of new player getting deep in the league is wonderfull to see

I already know I'll be league starting scion exsanguinate in 3.24 :) Hoping you find the optimal starter my man, I love your build guides!

WO hey i wasn't expecting a Madame Web advertisement. :P Jokes aside, I appreciate the work and documenting the process. Now that I have gotten a few leagues under my belt I have been trying to find my own build to play and I enjoy watching the process of someone more experienced.

Your SRS did wonders for me in affliction. Was so much fun and scaled quite well! Funded my armor stacker with the Guardian, forever grateful!

Hey great to see you already in s tier required mode. Last season was my first and used your beginner guide content to learn and this became my favorite game all time. Really looking forward to comming season to put the knowledge to use right off the hop. Thanks again man

I really like storm brand but I really hate the old man...do you think it's still viable to go around 1.5m with similar budget levels on a witch?

i used to love storm brand league starts when we had the +1 chain to non proj lighting skills mastery. it made for a really smooth grind to yellow maps.

yep, I was thinking about starting with Tatiantel's SB totems and now I'm 100% sure that's what I'm going with next league!

I really hope 3.24 allows for some fun CoC stuff again. Had a blast with the vortex build this season.

I'm just hoping that this league I can pick a good clearing build. Last league I just fell into the meta of Energy Blade Inquisitor and got kinda bored because of being able to melt bosses but not being able to clear quick since I only used Penance Brand and didn't get good results with other skills (skill issue on my end probably)

Your league starter builds are by far the best! I had the most fun in POE with the SRS Guardian build. The depth you go in notes and the guide we receive throughout the build is so great. I found always more and more stuff to improve my character on and it felt so rewarding. Thank you so much for the effort it was a blast! Can’t wait for for your next one!

You can have 6 clones up if you use bombarding and prismatic

These recaps are great for guys like me who are just too busy (most of the time) to be able to catch your streams. My heart sunk, though, when you said you were going to do stormburst totems - goddamn it, you're gonna show everyone how good it is /jk. Great stuff as always, Sub.

I’m def gonna test storm brand of indecision Hierophant as a league starter in SSF if it doesn’t get nerfed. Curious to see what made you not go for it in this video.

BABC is probably one of my favorite builds of all time, but yeah it's definitely a week2 build, and if we lose the new spectres without a good replacement, it's going to feel so much worse.. Actually I just hope the spectres come back in some way since it added some cool ways to get more power even in non-summoner builds, even if they died often :c

Did you already delete the characters/Pobs? Wanted to take a look at what you tried for BAMA Necro. My guess is that "MyOtherWifeIsMyCousin" was that character, but it sadly doesn't appear in poeninja snapshots.

Actually, your SRS Guardian was the first build interesting enough for me to take a hold of the endgame and appreciate it) Thank you!

Used Ziggy's arc of surging build on my super late league start. Got my first Maven & Uber Elder kills. The damage feels vulgar when the crits pop off.

I recently started making my own build from scratch in preparation for the new league and its given me a whole new appreciation for these guides

Very promising content format that already gets me hyped for 3.24. Thanks for the awesome content!

Im a big fan of league starting as stormbrand Hirophant/elementalist, then switching into any other skill.

I started BL of static totems and it was very smooth. I've played a lot of totem builds and I think it was as strong as OG FP totems before soul mantle nerf and first snow threshold jewel removal.

Could Champion blink arrow be a thing? You are much closer to a bow wheel and the increase aura effect would be huge for wrath

I did not follow one of your guides so far BUT seeing as how you do multiple videos on them i will try one of yours this upcoming league. Fingers crossed this is not the one that it fails, wink.

I’ve been playing your bane occultist from 3.2 and it’s been fun. Currently act 7 ssf. Any updates to that ?

All i want is an affordable bv league starter, but haven't seen anything bv related for the last 3-4-5 Leagues that isn't multiple mirrors.

ty for the breakdown

Its been a while since I've looked at brand builds but it seemed like some was abusing brand recall on left click for more damage

Nice, daily uploads are fun. I’m glad you’re aware of the viewer use cases lol

Been waiting for this 👀

Man personally if I don't start explosive arrow totems my league start feels just awful almost every time. I think in the last like 10 leagues I started it 5 times and had great starts and out of the 5 I didn't I only had 1 good start on poison srs.

Did you say touching that grass?? What's grass? Is this a thing non-POE players do? lol Thanks for the vid. I've been curious on what good league starters there will be. I'm STRONGLY considering league starting freezing pulse/ice spear totems as it just melts content even at lower levels. I'm still somewhat open to others, but it's the first time I'd been able to actually boss and feel like I'm doing some significant damage in a short period of time while not having to be right up in the boss's face. I'm curious to see what you will set you mind to prior to league and I'll be stopping in every chance I get. Thanks again!

As always, thank you for your informative approach to creating content. Easily my favorite PoE creator. Keep up the great work, I wish you success :)

I've used the Mirror Arrow of Bombardment that Raizqt used on the gauntlet and it was REAL smooth.

You're actually trolling if you go necro for bombarding clones, guardian just adds so much damage and tankiness just by itself. Also you can use a bombarding clones mirror arrow with a regular blink arrow for movement and the blink arrow clones wont count toward the bombing clones cap. On guardian one clone does enough damage to kill pretty much everything but the toughest rares in red maps real quick so just cast 1 clone and move on.

Its almost time to login again

My first time playing the game was with your fire trap build, is it not viable anymore? I enjoyed it quite a bit but it seems like you stoped supporting it

Your description of Storm Brand's indecision seems completely off and doesn't align at all with the text on the skill gem. The only thing I agree with is that it bounces without the mastery, but it does exactly the same thing. For single target it has more damage and higher activation frequency as long as it doesn't bounce. It also has higher damage effectiveness, less cast time at the cost of the additional beams. There is a reason Sanctum runners and bossers prefer the transfigured version over the normal one.

Yea I think for Storm brand the best way to do it is E-Blade and I am just not a big fan of E-Blade gearing

Really appreciate you posting this! I watch twitch super rarely so it's great to get these vids!

That's some banger content thank you !

you look like matt damonn if he was a "nerd" and its really cool

I dont have a good PC i wish POE was good on console. I always DC its not even worth playing for me. Love your videos, tho i tried the Srs guardian last league. I didn't get too far into mapping because of lag deaths and the fact i dont even know how to trade, so i just tried to find good gear myself.

Frostblink of wintry blast is also kinda broken

Funny you said BAMA doesn't stack up to Frostblink Elementalist because that Cons list you gave for BAMA is the exact reason I wouldn't ever play Frostblink.

Good video. Asa somewhat new player, end game is still beyond me with the complicated crafting, never get enough currency to do it or get Divines. Think 9 Divines is the most I've gotten in a whole league. Your builds get quickly beyond what I'm capable of...still trying. When GGG devs can't even put out good guides for new players.....basic guide from them is USELESS for mid to end game !

Solid as usual

I hope the Penance brand of Dissipation survives the next league, as it was my favorite build of all time

Don't share the secrets of storm burst! The quality changes to duration made it even simpler this league for early scaling.

what happened to FT + FB ? D:

Going to specifically look at any new gems, and just go with it. I really need to stop copying builds, and just see what I can do anyways.

Have we confirmed transfigured gems are going to 3.24?

storm brand of indecision is definitely S tier.

Rf chief smacked this league

Unpopular opinion here, i miss frostblink league starter. My fav skill in the entire game.

the people want chaos dot

did he just say 1.5mil dps isnt enough? lmao this is my first league and my damage isnt even close to that. still in yellow maps too.

This is so refreshing to watch instead of the typical. Bait Broken build headline everyone starts putting out. Great job

Must have had a very easy life if making a build guide is up there for hardest things you’ve ever done 😐

I dont know why people play BA over MA, I loved MA but BA just feels hella weird and not great, most people just backtrack after BAing anyway

login for tudems

Out of topic, but honestly you should grow a beard!

"this is the hardest thing i've had to do professionally" proceeds to talk about existing builds that have been tweaked slightly all while playing video games lol. i like your vids, but bruh, this one cracked me up so hard

I think I might do body swap 😄

my wife left me

YES! PoE content :D

thats becuse you will start with these and you will baite the fk off to other pylers to play what ever the fk you put here then you get your MB in the frirst day and then a video about how esay the fk is this game just baite other to get your mony cuz they will see your builds and when they want to play it it will go up prise and then you you felp all the items then ezz gg

didnt ask XD

Did you look at ZeeBoub's Stormbrand google Doc? To me it looked like it could clear T16's, Eater, and Searing with pretty low investment. Though my goodness, if you look at his character, day 2 IDK how on earth you get that kind of gear in a single day. Really, I would love to know how people make that kind of bank. The big think is when to switch over from Arma to Storm, his google doc goes from lvl 64 and jumps to lvl 90. IMO you got to jump to Storm before that, but there in's the trick. I took a few hours to map out what seems a decent route, but there is no one to say it's going to work, I got to test it, which I am doing. Flamewood is on the menu then again though, I am not a fan of the pathing. Now what surprised me was my last run, a melee based build that can go the distance for a League starter, Zish's Frost Blades Trickster. That guys is pretty darn cool, he even responded to me to help me out months after the Guide was released. But the build works very well, might want to give it a shot.
