League experience thus far?
I'm enjoying it. Melee is a very nice change of pace for me and tec slam feels good. I like the league mechanic - back to basics - though it does feel like it moreseo rewards ranged, AOE builds instead of most melee builds (save maybe cyclone).
I'm sure it's just bad luck with the RNG, but it feels like Humility cards are more rare in blood aqueducts now. Or maybe blood aqueducts overall isn't as prosperous. I farmed for 2 hours and got 2 Humility, and 5C in currency. I haven't valued drops, but outside of one six-link 2H, I didn't get anything noteworthy. I'm not sure I'll keep it up this league - might just buy, or skip tabula altogether.
I just got to maps after work and will farm there tonight for some currency and probably get some better armor for my build. I put a feeler up on the PoE reddit and lots of people responded they were having similar issues and suggested it might be indirectly an affect of smaller mobs, more powerful magics and rares. Maybe something there, who knows.
Great guide, but I think the author missed some updates for the patch (or wrote it before all the info was out). For example, need endurance charges - he has the guide using 4 points to go get a stave node which grants an endurance charge chance on hit. Not super helpful considering it's a dual-weird sword build - really just to get the 10% chance. Instead, I'm taking advantage of Leap Slam now guaranteeing a stun on hit, and using the Endurance Charge on Stun skill to essentially max out on charges as I clear. Save 4 points for somewhere else...just don't know where yet
