Jesus they fucking gutted alot of stuff. I wanted to try a MS Jugg build this time but with the nerfs to lgoh - i'm not sure.

I love that someone, somewhere is already abusing the fuck out out these changes.

I'm going with a HoA build, used that shit to clear deep delves I couldn't do on the witch last time and it was fast as hell to 90 and did most maps comfortably.

Was thinking about joining the guild too, although I'm EU - hopefully i'll be mapping pretty fast and can help anyone out etc.

The hit to MS is small, I doubt you'll notice it.

I know the balls got a boost but losing 2 from the tree and 2 from the enchant seems like alot (tho i would have never seen the enchant most likely as it's too expensive for a casual player unless you have much luck). I'm not so worried from a DPS angle just the life gain, tho i doubt that matters till t16 and then you could switch in a anger life leech jewel or something maybe. How fast is jugg at levelling and is there a build you would recommend?

You lost 1 from the helm enchant, not two. And since MS projectiles hit Shaper-sized targets at just a bit under 50% on average, you effectively lost 1.5 balls. If you were playing a build that had 14 projectiles overall, your overall LoH is now ~22% lower.

Forum - Marauder - [3.4] UNDENIABLE-JUGG | 1H Sword'n'Board | FARM ALL CONTENT - incl. Uber-Elder - Path of Exile I like this build, of course I tweaked it a bit, but it's still quite solid. You can level with MS if you want, but I would recommend using Frost Blades at least for clearing.

It's got almost no defensive stats, just resists and a little bit of strength, while my Incursion temple helm had 10% phys taken as cold and a lot of life/ES. I'm sure it's great for damage, but I didn't feel like my Arc trapper needed any more at the time, and I was already squishy enough to be afraid of those chaos spell damage fuckers. I definitely preferred mana MoM + essence worm to EB. Don't think I'd want to run an essence worm on EB+MoM+Malachai's Awakening either, two slots with almost no defensive stats.

Well, you can't run EB+MoM+Malachai's Awakening Well, you can, but you definitely shouldn't. There seems to be 4 variants:

Life - Loreweave - Malachai's Awakening
Life - Loreweave - MoM
Life - Tinkerskin - MoM - EB(?)
LL - Shavs - MoM(?)

The questions marks imply optional. I still want to get the Tinkerskin variant working. Only ways I see that working is with huge trap trigger area but I have no idea how much is enough. Or reduce trap duration down to 0. Traps that expire count as being triggered by the enemy. But that then takes away some of the appeal of playing traps: stacking a bunch before a boss.

EDIT: rethinking the EB+MoM+Malachai's Awakening...maybe that's not such a bad idea. You wouldn't be able to run Discipline though.
