Primaeva's Notes

Decided to go in blind versus the boss... 1 hour and one shot left to enter the laptop race!

Turns out yeah, you're blind during the fight anyway :D

NOTE: BATTLE MUSIC is not from PoE and I deeply regret not turning it on - Kamil is an amazing composer. I can't wait to attempt the fight with music. In the meantime, it was a really awkward quiet video so I overlay-ed some NWN1 battle music.

--- BUILD COMMENTS --

Day 3 - absolutely no build refinements made in a day at all - was out whole of yesterday. Outside of an AL7 kill (deathless) I had to rush the 100 maps required to spawn this boss for the laptop race! So I didn't really work on gearing/shopping, although I did test out a couple more concepts, which I will work into a later iteration of the build.

Releasing the PoB used in the fight since mapping and bossing feels pretty smooth right now: https://pastebin.com/n2EwbEA4

This is NOT the final version and there is room for a LOT of upgrades that will push the build to 30m sDPS. There are far better ways to scale spells not employed due to budget reasons - and now i can work on currency gathering since my busy week is over and the Harvest objective is done.
