Precisely. I wont lie, if this is how the end game content is going to get treated each new league now, I'm not sure how long I'll keep playing. From the time I came back at the tail end of incursion, through Delve, I had amassed ~600 maps in my stash. I was selling low level maps in bulk to fuel the alchs to keep moving through maps, while running High Yellow tier maps.
Then, after the chance at Betrayal, I amassed about 450 maps, and I'm not running Low Red Tier Maps. I'm up to 130 Maps complete now.
Now, it's starting all over again. So, I'll run my highest tier map that I have to get back most of my progress, and then vendor everything else to build up a base of new maps, so that I can keep trudging forward towards getting to Shaper. I was actually thinking that I could hit Shaper by mid ish April. Having to reduce my map pool by 1/3, is going to slow that down quite a bit. It's going to reduce me to single digits on all of my red maps, except T11, as I'll be able to get a fair amount of those from vendoring my T10's.
Synthesis doesn't interest me at all. I'm baffled by the idea that adding more timed content you don't want to leave / can't leave to a game where the only way to trade / sell items for their worth is to actually trade with people, while the company still bemoans the bots / RMT presence in the game.
As far as what I'm working on, If I do play the new league, I'll go with something simple, probably my MS Jugg, as it's the best char I've ever had, or maybe my Frost Blades Scion. I would rather play my Shield Throwing Witch, but I know that it can't get past T8 Maps, because the Golems constantly die, and they're a big source of DPS (increased per Gol), and Defense (immune to ailments based on Gol).
I took a break from my jugg for a few days. I was getting burnt out and slightly frustrated trying to make the jump to T13, and trying to figure out why I have intermittently just... Exploded and died in T13 Maps. My Jugg isn't a push over, but every so often (and not from reflect), I've gone from Near Full Life (75% ish or more) to Dead. 7700 HP, max resists (+1 to max Fire), and 75% Phys Redux while standing still, and I will just implode like I'm trying to play evasion again (I hate evasion. I think it's garbage, based on the system that they have installed for calculating evasion).
In my break away from the Jugg Crawl, I've been playing a Shrapnel Shot Deadeye Ranger. It's been a lot of fun. Killed PII Kitava this morning, but to make the jump to maps, I'm going to have to scour for some gear to get my Resists inline. It's basically just wearing things I had stuffed in the stash, as I've all but given up on trying to ID items. I just collect and Vendor Recipe anymore, as Standard requires near perfect items if you want to trade non unique items, and I'm not much of a fan of the slot machines of crafting.
My Red Elder kill absolved any of my desire to bother with IDing anymore.The Elder Satin Slippers on this page were my super awesome Elder Drop from T12 Elder.
I tried Toxic Rain, but as I'm pretty newb when it comes to ranged / bows / not in your face, I slid from that to the Shrapnel shot that I'm currently doing.
I'd love to see your plan for the build.
