I don't know how you guys are feeling in League right now, but bro... it's a mass.

I was doing infinite Heist until that stage you can do no more. It was fine, but when I got maps, no rewards, no drops and even with more difficulty I wasn't getting rewarded for it.

Maybe I'll quite this legue and it's not because the build. I'll give some days for the next patchs to see if they'll fix some stuffs and we could find more fun on it.

About the build:
1 - Block is fine. I'm not dying easly.
2 - I'm felling a king of lacking of damage, but I guess its because low level gems.
4 - Zombies and gollens dying, especilly zombies.
5 - Impossible to buy Anima, I guess, after complete Atlas, I will do some white map (waterways) runs with mechanics like strongbox, essences and metamophs which doesnt scale maps to see some currences.

I know with more time and better gems I could get better, but with no fun on it I dont know if i'll be pacient enough.

League is a complete shitshow.
Just ragequit after getting oneshot to a T16 Essence an hour ago.
Gonna take a break from the game and give it a try again after they patch this unholy mess.

Biggest problem this league for me is that Map progression and sustain is as it always has been, but general currency and item progression has slowed down alot. I'm almost done with my Atlas but I've got no chaos or gear to my name.
Usually, at this point of the league when I've finished the entire Atlas I've farmed up about 10 ex worth of currency that I use to upgrade my character.

This league I've scrambled up about 100 chaos in ~150 maps now.
Most of my money has been used to buy alchs and vaal orbs cause I can't sustain them. I'm literally sitting with 7 unfinished Red maps that I can't run cause I don't have any Vaal Orbs left and no one on trade is answering.

So basically, I'm progressing the Atlas too fast to keep up with my gearing.
According to my ExilenceNext, I've been averaging 2.2 chaos profit per map I've done, excluding map drops. That's honestly, just sad.
I got a large batch of Chaos Recipe to be handed in but at this point I'm not really interested in playing Path of Exile. Items are so insanely expensive now that it's unplayable.

Unfortunately, GGG thought it was a good idea to nerf general loot drop from killing monsters by like 70%. But they kept the loot dropping from Heist chests, Tujen windows and endgame bosses. This has lead to an extremely unbalanced economy where Heisters, Expedition ppl, Bossers and Hideout warriors are insanely rich because they're making pre 3.19 currency rewards. This allows for the rich ppl who were leaguestarting with the "correct" league mechanics to dictate the price of all valuable items.
Meanwhile, ppl who want to progress their atlas and map in general are on lifesupport.

Sad to hear that you are not happy but I fully understand this. Drops are not really as good as last league and at the same time the essential items are crazy expensive... Primordial might is crazy...

Just checked your setup, is 2 bitterdream still better in maps than bitterdream and shoield (or even bitterdream and Clayshaper)? I think I would really miss the block chance for not having the shield and it can already roll minion mods.

And what Spectres you are currently using in that setup? I'm currently running SO as they are so nice for clear speed.

And one additional question. WOuld Clayshaper work for us and the additional attack physical damage will be converted to cold?

Hey Dead, here some cool stuff this league

So does minion survivability eventually get better? I quit playing a few days ago because I got tired of my minions dying in white maps constantly.

I don't have the best gear, I'm saving div's for later. They're dying, even Golens dying a lot. Gems are 19/20 now, but I really don't know if they were 21/20 it would make any difference.

Thought I'd post this here. Followed this build as a template to start and have been doin alright bossing. Can afk elder, have done elder/shaper/maven/sirus/eater/exarch/uber elder.

POB: https://pastebin.com/rBx5zvNk

The pob isn't set up, it's just for anyone to compare builds with so don't pay attention to DPS unless you want to configure it.

I have 0 issues with minions dying. Skeles die a bit but they are my main skill that is casted so I don't care too much, and when they die they heal everyone else.

Been playing this build all league and am enjoying it. You definitely feel the minion nerfs in the beginning, before you've leveled up your gems. My golems and skellies are level 29, spectres & zombies level 26, and animated guardian is level 25. Doing juiced t16's and nothing has died yet except for 1 zombie occasionally. I'm too afraid of losing my AG to do Lake of Kalandra maps.

The hardest part for me was getting my resists right since so few pieces actually give you resists. Not to mention all of the extra minion stats we now need to get on our gear, our item budget is soooo small now. I don't know how the heck anyone will be able to fit a socketed ring or curse ring. If the "curse enemies on hit" corruption for the gloves works with our desecrate that might be where it can go.

Finding gear that is similar to the updated POB has been a chore this league. I'd really like to upgrade my chest from +2 to +4, but there are hardly any available. The one that is has 3b2g1r sockets. I don't know what I'd socket with that color configuration. Carrion (B), Skellies (B), awakened minion damage support (B), Divergent Hypothermia (G), not sure what to socket in the last Green and Red.

When it comes to the AG, won't my curse just override it's curse (even with the additional curse chest on it)? Or does that just not even matter since if it curses after we curse, the AG's curse won't override our curse.

Thank you for the guide. I've been using it for many leagues now. It's the most easily readable and thorough guide I've ever seen. I'm looking forward to you updating it.

I think it is a bit much to expect Dead to do more than he has done on the 1st page. I wouldnt expect a comprehensive update to the exceptionally good guide.

I think there are to many nerfs to take into consideration, lots of new items to consider to get the minion stats and any changes GGG make given feedback so far.

Of course we can get help and suggestions in the thread as always :)

The build still works, but it is so much tougher to get going. At the point I have come pretty far. No dice with the helmet though, ended up with a +2 minion levels. I have 4 spectres but have no idea which spectres I should have.

I can't seem to get the different buffs and debuffs for the spectres working in the full DPS so I am having a hard time judging what is best. Also I am thinking on adding a Ruins Hellion for defense while mapping.

Can anyone help?
