Been wanting to league start Wild Strike for a few years now telling myself I'd play it after melee buffs, but I'm giving up on that wait after tonight and just going to have Frost Blades as a fallback and Ice Shot or TS as a contingency. The plan is eventually go omni TS, but I want to fund it with this doing low essence farm start into red legions with exarch altars. Going off poe.ninja I couldn't find somebody who did what felt right during Crucible, so I made my own pob https://pobb.in/tVvK_z6Z7Gz5 for once instead of using a guide.
I'm new to actually fully fleshing out pob's from scratch but I think I did a good job keeping gear very conservative for worst case scenarios. I'm a sc six portal enjoyer and I know the pob reflects that. I also haven't played strike skills for a few leagues now, and while any input is appreciated I have the following questions specifically:
- Is Ghost Dance worth using over going armor/evasion? On real gear I can imagine that es being doubled and I don't think I can squeeze in determination, but possibly discipline with a 2 node reservation small cluster and 30% reservation shield.
- Is just the 1 extra strike from attack mastery good enough for clear? I prefer to run Kaoms Spirit as the pob does now or Shadows and Dust in the glove slot so I won't get more there. It'd be nice to not use ancestral call as a link, but if I do what link should I replace? I might play with good rare gloves later but I won't plan on it for day one gear.
- Fun annoints? There's always the reliable Divine Judgement for budget but surely that's not the best choice, at least once using golds is an option.
- Does anyone actually have experience with which Combat Focus jewels make it feel better from previous leagues? I'm currently planning on using none but I can see myself blocking fire if the aoe is too small, and I might be convinced that focusing on just cold hits with Heatshiver.
Again this is just day 1/2 gear and I didn't pob any better gear other than an all T2 mod claw which adds 20% damage. I don't know how much phys claws go for but that's my first planned major upgrade, probably within a 2 div budget. Further upgrades will be winged depending on where I feel like I'm actually lacking in legion clear. Also celestial leap slam is more fun than whirling blades for movement, I will forever die on this hill. Thanks in advance.
