[3.17]⚡Velyna's Storm Brand Occultist⚡ 5M+ DPS Leaguestart | Hidden and Feared Viable
" I started with it as well and can confirm some of the points. I looked up her current leaguechar and she respect a little bit as well. Basically drop the shield and crit notes in the upper right parts of the tree and get the life/es wheel close to pain attunement, the 2 es points near the powercharge in templarstart and the life/chaos res points. Look at my profile for example. After that i used ahns heritage as a fill in and doryanis catalyst for +2max res and spell leech. i bought items mit t1-t3 life for each other slot for max 3c (doing chaos recipe in blood aqueduct). this put me at around 4k life and ~800es for early maps. Because of vaal reliquary keys i got a cerberus limb earlier than expected (25-30c) and bought a lioneyes remorse. now im sitting at a comfortable 4.8k life and 1.8k es. Then i grinded the rings. After the first ring ultimatum became way easier because of freeze. Hope this helps. Had struggle last League on how to transition trough the different budget levels but this was my strategy this league and im happy. |

" This is all correct so I'm just quoting as part of my answer, and I really like the three dragons idea might look into that. Before having the rings it's very easy to get cornered/stuck and killed. I will probably rework the levelling section a bit... Once you're freezing things and damage starts to scale the league mechanic should be quite nice with the build. https://www.twitch.tv/velyna

Thanks very much for the feedback.
I forgot a question, is it possible to farm call of brotherhood ? as far as i can tell, there isn't, other than farming 2C recipes to eventually buy it... |

" well as we all know, league start leveling and standard leveling are two different things . LOL. I agree with you, based on my experience with three dragons, things should get better when freeze really kicks in. I also took a quick look at the PoB league start, and it's showing 5k life/1.8k ES, having that much will be a much different thing than my current 3k/800. |

i can't understand how to generate power charges in this build, can you help me to figure it out?
|

" this build doesn't use power charges, that's why you are having trouble figuring it out. edit: doh! i was taking about the life based starter. the Low life version uses assassin's mark. Последняя редакция: plasticeyes#2789. Время: 19 апр. 2021 г., 15:23:32

Well, this build is just bad as a starter. That's pretty much all there is to it.
You have no life, no defence, mediocre damage that doesn't blow up packs and you have 100c entry fee because you can't actually play this without the rings. Rerolling KEKW |

" I finished campaign and am into first maps now without the rings and rarely upgrading my gear. 100c is...nothing? Thats not much required of a league starter :S |
|
" Your point being...? I would like to see how you're dealing with (as i specified) league mechanic without the rings " Everything is relative " I would argue with that, because "required" and "league start" are not looking good when used in the same sentence. I've had enough league starts with different builds and never once i've reached a gear threshold this early (too squishy for white maps) Hell, 5l disfavour is 7/10 the price of these build enabling rings. But hey, you do you. |

" Dont see the reason of you being a prick about it though? Maybe its not the build for you, so play something else. We can have different opinions without being arrogant. Leaguestart for me is -> get into maps to start farming so you can buy upgrades to invest in this build or buy some specific items for another. And for me, this build does exactly that. As you may see, i was able to buy the rings pretty fast after hitting maps. Good luck on your next character :-* |
