Week 2 of Path of Exile's Keepers of the Flame League was another blast for my Cold BV League-Starter. It's now clearing T17s and Uber Bosses with ease, thanks largely to the new Lost Unity Formless Ring, and the Herald of the Hive skill it provides.

This video will go over the benefits of this new Herald, how to fit it in to the build, and how to scale it.

I'll be back soon with a deep dive into the four domains of the BV endgame and how to get the best return on investment for each.
