DISCLAIMER: I have not actually played this build in any way yet and 3.18 is when I'll possibly try it, so it could have periods of build progress where its shit before it becomes good, or just be shit forever. DISCLAIMER 2: This is NOT intended to be a day 1 all uber bosses killed build with all magic gear like DD, but one that can function early without needing gear in SSF but will also feel rewarding to build it up as you play throughout the league. Build Features Ethics Not DD, Seismic, EA +++ Hit based attack build +++ Does not use omniscience +++ Does not use Ashes of Stars ++ Does not

For anyone who wants a more hipster build that isn't DD, seismic, EA, RF, or any of the other really strong meta builds but also doesn't want some straight garbage, I present to you my 3.18 HCSSF league start. This build is designed for the HCSSF environment. I have no idea how it is in SC trade. Probably worse because it's not as zoomy and has too much invested in defenses. Pros: \-Very easy to achieve high single target DPS \-No uniques needed for boss kills \-Can clear maps from extremely long range \-Excels in narrow corridor type maps \-Fairly tanky - runs determination,

Quick Showcase: Gear, Tree, Minotaur map Main POB: Pob of the test run: I've been wanting to move to SSFHC and complete all the content with my own build. I love casting spells, but it's always a struggle league starting them due to how hard it is to obtain cast speed on gear. So I looked into trappers/miners. Icespear deadeye miner turned out pretty good. The video is with pretty much bare minimum gear. I've been busy with work, so I couldn't go hard in farming for harvest and essences. But t

PoB: Here's an idea for a league starter that I've been thinking about for a while. It converts the cold damage hit from Cold Snap into fire to ignite enemies while still dealing cold DoT and chilling, using increased cold and elemental damage and generic DoT multi to scale both DoTs. Normally I just flesh out a tree when theory crafting, but Mathil released a Wave of Conviction ignite starter build and I decided to plug my tree and skill into his gear, just changing the some of the fire modifiers to cold (which I imagine should be cheaper this league anyway)

(See the bottom for update) Hey All, Looking for feedback/wanting to share a Trinity Elemental Hit Deadeye or Raider that I think I'm going to try to league start unless someone pokes a giant hole in it. I've spent most of yesterday pouring over POE Ninja and POB and think I might have finally created something okayish. I'm leaning towards raider cause it seems a bit easier to start but am curious if others have ideas for deadeye that might be different from mine or able to improve on mine as I think some of the tech in deadeye seems really cool.
