This is for all quality changes. Some only have one avaliable option. Others have 3+.

Many builds that were popular before seem fine. Discharge/fireball/spark/Winter orb and everything else like it wont suffer at all.

Animate guardian seems completely dead. All of its additional life has been taken unless im reading it wrong. Or else Its all removed and replaced with "All minions have 38% increased life" Which was less than half. Still gutted. I wouldnt use expensive shit on a guardian anymore. But I dont think even this increased life will affect the guardian. Do not use.

However animate weapon looks great. Nothing but buffs.

Also A lot of these changes are "Increased cooldown recovery" buffs which look good for most of these.

If I even play itll be something like absolution or animate weapon or winter orb totems.

Still waiting for all the transfigured gems to come out before I decide on starter

Keep me posted

They released a hogepodge of shit transfigured gems like cleave. None of them look interesting so far maybe some can be a surprise or a meme build.

Hoping against hope they redeem rf. It's so fucked unless you go giga.

So far that is has not been released in the threads ive seen.

Here is the first list of transfigured gems. One of the underliers might be blink/mirrow arrow, might be a huge minion build again, might not. Also boneshatter has two transfigured gems released.

Heard boneshatter will be pretty good...something like they rolled divergent into one of the transfigured options making it earlier and easier to get, less restricted.

TBH I might boneshatter start just because it's stupid easy to gear for. Few essences and a few fractured bases and you are end-game geared lol. And super strong all the way till then for super low cost.

Really wanted to try a mjolnir static bl build (where bl stays in one spot) with the new bl gem but prob not gunna risk it for league-start. Would prob go inquisitor so plenty of options if I did go that route though. Could be strong on assassin with poison for bossing.

What you thinking for start?

What I WANT to play is either animate weapon [non poison] or Winter orb totems. Since totems can cast flameblast they should be able to use winter orb, but its unlikely to work this way simply because of a silly thing like logic.

Very excited about the gem changes,. So many builds I want to try play now!!

cremation of the volcano, is that a new ability? PoE 2 ability or something lol.

Looks like itll be animate weapon. There are no winter orb gems so far that i saw. Still no RF either.
