POE 3.25 Top 12 Builds - SSF Settlers League Meta Day 15 - Path of Exile Settlers of Kalguur

#pathofexile #poe #SSF

Every league I do a meta roundup sometime in the second week. This is the 3.25 edition, looking at how the Gladiator and Warden changed things, impacts of nerfs and buffs, and much more. This was recorded on day 15 but edited and uploaded on day 16.

0:00 Intro
0:54 How's Build Diversity? It's... down and up at the same time? Ascendancy diversity way down, skill diversity up.
1:54 Methodology for gathering data for this video
4:23 Impact of Kingsmarch - Even Less Than In Trade
5:44 Impact of Melee Overhaul, the "shiny and new" phenomenon
6:22 Impact of the Gladiator overhaul - GGG nailed it
7:02 Impact of the Warden - still being explored
7:48 Impact of other patch note changes - people aren't bothering with 'phys taken as X' much now, lots of 'bottom of the passive tree' keystones are popular

13:05 The Top Build In SSF - Archmage Hierophant

SSF junkies, we unite again for gog church on this glorious Sunday.

[alehut]

As one of those players who started jung's locus PS build, I'm watching as people at the top of the ladder transition into more traditional high budget int stack wanders. The tormented wand enchant does more for a traditional wander than it does for a mine variant.

[MrHephesto]

First video of yours that I've seen. Instant sub. Thank you

[a_pet_rock]

9:52 "beerserker" you caught me!

[RockSaysPaperOP]

RF at the top end always takes a 4- link rf with a helm that has burning damage support, then uses the 6 link for fire trap. I'm not sure if you're accounting for that if you only look at 5+ rf.

[Joulespersecond]

I don't think there are many people who would ever migrate a mageblood over to tradeleague, since the item itself has so much value in SSF. A mirror, or mirror shards, sure, but not a mageblood.

[slovenlyriven]

another factor in slayer popularity is the endurance charge buffs made the ascendancy much stronger.

[NickRigas-rdzv]

Any chance we can get that follow up video soon?

[MysticalLlamaHunter]

I really hope the NSA agent assigned to me is not nearly as compitent at reading data as SirGog is...

[Synky]

I think it goes unsaid but it's so cool to me that POE has a public API so we can get stats like this. Also -- are these numbers/info for ppl with their profile/character public "only"? Would this technically not be counting players who have their characters private?

[cashandraven]

I'm surprised more people aren't using transfigured leap slam, it has almost the same dmg effectiveness as GS of earthshaking, and double the radius. Been doing Elementalist ignite and it's so smooth because it's so much damage.

[SerrynRS]

hey man i just found your channel and i wanna say great videos and content man! if i may be so bold, might i suggest a different color for the text on your thumbnails and maybe a bit less clutter as well? it can be a bit overwhelming to click on your channel with all those colors. but otherwise, great work my man keep it up :)

[saxplayingcompnerd]

Yes. I've never played melee before. I've made it further than any other patch

[Tibasu]

Started in SSF with two handed bleed ED Gladiator and still use the character to fight the settler league bosses. I tried swapping to Eviscerate for more defenses, but I ended up losing like 60% of my damage and it single target a chore.

Gladiator really makes Bleed league starts very smooth, since you get pops, get your bonus bleed damage instantly, and 100% more multi vs longer fights which help with your void stones

[NoksUndKutten]

About to start my SSF reroll for the league let's go

[Niktmnieniechciej]

Why would you ever transfer mageblood to trade league? o_0

[HasXXXInCrocs]

Ground slam is still good as the normal version because it has much higher attack speed and lower mana costs. It can be very good if your damage is high enough to not need the higher base damage of earthshattering, you can't afford the mana costs with your auras or you want to go just that little bit faster than you would otherwise.

[FlareFluff]

I like looking at ssf builds to get inspiration for tech to use in budget challenges and has improved my league start mentality. I'd i play trade too much, i start to get an elitist perfectionist mindset, Like you mentio ed. Being "humbled" by ruthless or ssf restrictions have made me realize and pinpoint what makes a skill feel good and what i feel like playing.

Im wondering if the arcane sanctuary node moving from betweentrickster and witch, to above witch has changed much. I loved running it on spell/mines raider (exsanguinate, locus mines) but now with that being on deadeye, that wheel and locusmines would feel very nice with that extra spell nlock and damage, bout now it's all the way over by the top of the witch.

[RandoManOfWonders]

I wish there was a way to see where the Ryslatha’s come from — I got mine from 3 star Gravicious in Transportation

[calebolver]

Power siphon of the archmage this league has carried my ssf league so hard
