About imbued gems

Get lv 20 Cyclone imbued with Increased Critical Strikes. You get ~25% MORE damage while mapping, and it's cheap.

The same effect can be obtained with Cyclone imbued with Increased Critical Damage or Hypothermia (replace that gem with Inc Crit Strikes).

You can get ~36% MORE damage if you get Cyclone imbued with CwC or PCoC. But those are very expensive. For mapping it's not a reasonable price unless you are constantly doing very hard maps.

Get lv 20 Punishment or Frostbite imbued with Hextouch. You can then replace Hextouch with Hexpass to curse hexproof enemies and disable enemy crits. That's very nice for rippy maps, simulacrums, etc.

What about Frostblink imbued with more duration? We sacrifice about 0.2s of Immortal Call buff but free up 1 gem slot which we can add Cooldown Recovery Support. Is it worth the trade off?

I was lucky and got a cyclone with PCoC, but what should I put instead of it? Increased Critical Strikes 20/20?or is there something better?

Per his twitch channel, Kelvynn has retired from this league, having finished 40/40 and fully gearing up, so looks like we're on our own for now.

Looks like I missed out on the top upgrades, as Reflecting Mists are for sale at 20+ div only face to face (so I suspect the prices are fake.)

I should have focused on Alva temples a lot earlier. So, for posterity, the way to do them is to limit to 3 temples (not 4) on the Atlas tree (but have all the other ones selected per Kelvynn's example.) Then do them in a 2-3-3-3-1 order. That is, do 2 temples only first time. You can minimize your cost by using Incursion Scarab of Timelines only when you have a connected corruption or jewelcrafting room. The reason for the 23331 pattern is to get an extra chance for tier 3 rooms from Timelines.

Now that I've experienced explody, I don't know if I can ever go back...

WTF. There's a LOT of ways to make currency. You can recombine an ilvl 86 helm and an ilvl 82 archdemon crown (total cost 9c plus 40k dust) and 50% of the time get an ilvl 86 archdemon crown base that sells for 170c.

I was selling my lich % int crowns for 5-10 div consistently especially since hunter orbs are so cheap. But that sale has dried up.

Am I crafting the simplex wrong?

At this stage:

"

Buy an ilvl 80+ Crusader amulet. If Crusader is too expensive, buy the cheapest influenced ilvl 80+ amulet and harvest craft Randomize Influence until it's Crusader. Alt spam it until you get the suffix "9-12% Increased Intelligence" and no Crusader's prefixes.

Right-click Awakener's Orb, left-click on the non-Simplex amulet, left-click on the Simplex.

I had a magic crusader's magic amulet with ONLY 9% increased int on it, did the awakener's transfer, and the % increased int did not transfer. I got another implicit instead.

Fortunately I had done an imprint, so I'm ready to try again. Got to farm for the crafting materials for a while again, though.

-----------------

My error was not checking the simplex amulet for a second shaper affix. That has to be what happened. I figure that was the case because I almost did it again!

Is anyone else getting this weird interaction? After I get stunned, sometimes, I keep getting interrupted even if nothing is attacking.

I've had to switch to stun pantheon for this not to happen. Should I report this as a bug or is there something I don't know?

Your ES is low at ~6800. Try getting it higher and see if it helps.

This was in early maps. I'm 10k es now, posted this as it shows the behaviour well. It kept happening until I switched pantheon, which confirms my char was getting repeatedly stunned from nothing. I guess it is a bug.

I run Solaris and Yugul, with all four bosses captured. The crit protection from Kitava might be making a difference.

I don't have your issue.

can someone explain why stampede boots are that expensive this league ?
never saw that. And helical rings are super cheap. Thats strange

I have a similar issue. Get stunned from nothing. But its not so extreme like yours. I can deal with it.
