Hah, Mathil made a video about self cast arc using the new Greater Chain support. I'm not gonna play that now because it feels kinda similar to what I started, but I do love me some self cast Arc so I figured I might as well pick up a GC support before it gets real expensive. Bought it for 45c, cheapest one an hour later is 110c. :D

I'm guessing you're not searching for the mods as implicit?

In this search, only the lower one will find exarch/eater mods, the upper one will look for chests where it's an explicit mod(i.e. part of the 3+3 prefix/suffixes).

The has, IMO, been a great league. (Barring the server issues.) Playing the kinetic fussiade totem build, the Mirage instance is rather easy to survive the loading. Almost always I am able to drop totems and move to survive being swarmed and dead at the start. (The only map I have used all 6 portals on was due to trying to load into the Mirage and being swarmed. I had already killed the boss so it was NBD.) How are other builds surviving that initial load into the Mirage?

Was kind of getting frustrated with my inability to scale and how not tanky I felt, so I leveled a shadow and tried flicker. Also swapped one of my trees over to the breach leveling tree.

1. I'm a flicker fan.
2. Holy shit do you level fast with breach.
I too am a flicker fan and I should revisit. My most recent character that I had a great time with was flicker. Probably my second most favorite character of all time after archmage storm brand when casting brand recall refreshed all your brand duration and didn't cost the same mana as the brand so it was "drain all your mana casting storm brand, then hold down brand recall and clear"

Any thoughts on what this might be worth? It's got an empty prefix (although life is blocked) and a good boost to strength and regen (with some bonus dex thrown in) without any real downsides.

My research seems to say somewhere in the 5-6 div area, but it's such a niche item I really have no idea if it's good or not worth listing.

I wonder if GGG is happy with how Timeless jewels turned out. Initially it was a matter of "buy anything with the keystone you need and just hope for the best on notables" or using third party Discord servers to advertise broken ones for a particular build. As I remember, people were basically alright with that setup, shopping for the desired keystone and maybe trying on a few different ones to pick the best from a small sample. Once they were solved and the calculator implemented in PoB though, now they're just an extremely user unfriendly bit of obscured information, and the exact ones called for in popular build guides get people sitting with live searches on them to snipe cheap ones and resell for massive profit. Really poor experience, now.
 
Not sure if I've just been lucky roll wise, I started doing it when people switched to Adorned buildmaxing or nobody thought to do it, but I've made a minor fortune off using the Breach tree to make fractured jewels. Makes good use of low level provisioning wombgifts as a bonus.

Otherwise the dayjob has been putting a crimp on challenge grinding, so I'm a bit behind(25/40) where I'd like to be.

Absolution took me to normal Maven and all invitations minus Feared, but I was hitting the upper limits DPS wise without going Doryani's. Leveled and switched to a Scion/Jiquani's Potential/Crackling Lance of Branching mines build which has amazing DPS but terrible eHP sustain. Still, screen covering lasers everywhere keeps me playing it.

Anyone know why the unique map Doryani's Machinarium is currently selling for 30 Div? Have run the map in past leauges but don't recall anyting in the map that would justify the current price.

Edit: Think I have an answer for my own question. The map is needed to complete one of the league challenges and is only available in Delve so it is limited supply.

Been on vacation without Real Computer access, and I’ve been thinking ahead to 3.29 - namely, that I’d like to try a SSF season with a build that has a good chance of 36/40 without any weird gear requirements (mainly uniques) to do crafting practice. No idea what it would be to be honest…
Trapper/Miner, whichever is flavor of the week. You just can't beat the ability to pre-load the burst damage for bosses, and you don't give up much of anything in terms of clear speed, and you can hide and shoot around corners. And you can get all your voidstones on floor loot with basic +1 wands. Only thing safer is minions, but minions are boring.
