I just saw a vid related to this the other day. No idea if it treads some of the same ground you've already gone over, but it might be helpful.

Vortex is easy and fun but if youre doing it for the first time, go Trickster. Go ele bloom for the second to get everything settled in your head.
6500 es is perfectly fine for any of the subclasses. Getting 6700 es is easy and not too pricey if you play enough.

Because I enjoy playing the game. I've never been tempted to do 36 before. I even missed 24 in harvest I believe. I hate most of the challenges and feel that their entire system needs to be revisited. I'd love for them to remove the free/generic challenges and have them only be league related.
Delve to 6k and maybe getting a mirror faster than the end of week 1 are my game goals left. The problem with delving to that point is it's a completely different playstyle and I haven't spent the hundreds of hours to get it down. Speeding up my mirror generation will be easier.

I'm just fucking around. Challenges are a convenient(but not nearly the only) way to quit the league once you've putzed around with all the builds you want to try.
That said, I've got very little lined up for this league. Hope they tweak enough shit to reveal some new builds.

Deal A elemental damage, get "resonance" for B and C then cast B or C to build up the missing A "resonance". Because it counts the lowest "resonance" value to determine the amount of damage it gives you need to deal 2 different kinds of elemental damage to fill up all 3 "resonances".
do you mean Trinity support?

So you use Fire like Scorching Ray. This builds up Resonance of Cold/Lightning. These stacks then give MORE damage to Cold/Lightning as well as elemental penetration. Keep using fire ever so often to keep resonance stacks up.
Basically it wants you to rotate between at least two elements. It's like a less harmful Elemental Equilibirum with no downside to the initial elemental. Do damage with A, get bonuses for B and C. You don't expend resonance either, but it decays fairly fast at a rate of 5 per second while you can gain it at 25 per 2 seconds.
The fact it needs to be linked with the other spells is a bit wonky, but it's like if elemental equilibrium and infused channeling had a baby.

Just to point out, it won't work for Scorching Ray because it doesn't hit.
My goal this league is try to make an Archmage Ignite build based purely on lightning damage so the clear doesn't suck. I've been fucking around in PoB and can't come up with anything satisfactory. I feel like I'm close with Penance Brand but 3.5s single target before the ignite is even applies is shitty. Anyone else have luck with this kind of build? I haven't found anything on poe.ninja.

They do but generally you'll get a fair bit just playing, then a few you can farm for a few hours to finish, and everything else you can liquidate your currency to just buy them(if you're SSF you migrate first), and then you're done with the league. If you want to keep playing well I guess you just use currency slowly to buy stuff without impeding your progress and you eventually get it too.
But at least when I do challenges, it's all about paying some retard 3ex to do some stupid shit you can't be bothered with and getting it done in 5mins instead.

I haven't had to buy challenges directly in at least a few leagues. But Pyros is otherwise correct. You get to 28-32 just by progressing to A8. You get the rest by spending an hour analyzing the remaining and see it would take you 5-10 hours of playtime and then you're done with the league. Or you roll a new character and save those 5-10 hours for later.
Harvest was 20ex on Winged Scarabs. Fuck the idiot that designed that challenge. Heist was 7ex on markers for revealing wings and rooms. I can't remember when I last had to pay some dude to scratch his nuts while saying the Last of Us 2 was a good game and not getting hit by Sirus' quad beam. That bullshit has been avoidable recently.

Yeah maybe I know I paid people to do even not too hard stuff just so I didn't have to bother, like killing that boss while imitating a monkey riding a bike and all these shits. There's also buying uniques or whatever the fuck they usually have, this kind of stuff, but usually you can get a lot of the stuff done with just money if you're done with the league and just want your challenges done. It's not that bad, although I'm somewhat biased since I'll play a lot when I'm into the league so I get a fair bit of them done naturally, while someone who plays more casually might take a lot longer(and lose interest in the process).
Don't know if I'll play this league, although some things look interesting. I think I'll decide when I see the patch notes, see if there's interesting elementalist or necro stuff to do.

yeah, I usually get about 30 challenges just fucking around. Then I read the one that requires you to kill the boss facing west, while having a turquoise butt plug in, and listening to Mr. Rogers sing backwards while using COC resolute technique and I just say fuck this.

The only time I've ever used Scorching Ray in this game is in Hall of the Grandmasters using a Balefire. I'd love to play a good build with it.

Best I ever did with stormfire nonsense was using arc. Vaal arc with the bonus chain damage meant a big fatty ignite for map bosses, but even then it was only ever so good.
Penance brand is really the only way to get reliable boss damage, so you may just have to gem swap for conquerors etc, but yea mechanically it's basically unusable for general clear.

As someone who skipped farmville.. err I mean Harvest league, is there any sort of resource of a list of say the top 20 desired enchants that you can find on a crop? I've always been a bit overwhelmed with the crafting aspect of poe, but am trying to slowly get into it more.
