Going to try a Flameblast totem templar for the new league. I play HC now and like the slightly slower tankier builds.
Pretty decent. I made a self cast flame blast and it did well for SC.

Lol, this is a good league so far. Already got my 6L, had an EX drop, and oh, chanced a Skyforth.
I think I've played at least a few hours every day lol.It's a fun new league and nobody is playing. Sadness
How much of the atlas do you have completed? Once I got to t10s, I never left them. Basically, do yellows and what you get from Zara to fill the holes and prey for the best. If you're BSC, I could let you jump in a few of my maps or do rotations if you want to stretch yours.
Packsize is key. And using Zana to give you more as well. Bloodlines is best for returns. Also, you can only get a T16 from connected maps until you unlock them, so they start off pretty rare.
Finished merc and now just merc lab is left. Just started maps and I just found a Bino Knife. I linked it in global chat for a price check and a couple guys immediately msged with a variety of "I'll take it for 10/20/25 etc". One guy msged and said mine looks to be atleast 1 ex. So I looked it up on poe.trade. It seems my Bino got really good rolls, I've put it up for 1 ex for now.
Maybe it's me but I really hate breaches. Unless I'm in a party I'm almost guaranteed to die every time and I prefer to solo. I'm having shoulder problems so playing a character with a lot of active arm motion puts me in agony, so I'm mostly using a flame totem or a flame blast toon. Either one gets overwhelmed almost immediately. But apparently others have mastered them as the economy is highly inflated now. Stuff I could buy for 10-40 chaos in prior leagues is now multiple exalts. My latest (and final) approach is to build my flame totem for a while longer (now level 77) to see if he can ever handle breaches. If not I'll probably step back from Path of Exile as I doubt I'll ever get to the high end material.* * *
Breaches have been a welcome addition to the game. They basically give a breach ring, an alch or higher currency, and a 1/3rd to 1/2 change at a six socket each time you find one. That's a huge benefit to farming. They are also usually pretty fun. It took me too long to learn to keep moving in the Lightning breaches, but I don't die anymore now that I have that figured out.

Some builds don't handle Breaches as well as others. They really drop a ton of currency though, so currency is a bit devalued. It might simply be you aren't leveled enough or have enough damage to handled them. I was having issues early on while leveling, so I skipped most of them until I hit like 58ish on my EQ. Then, I destroyed them.Maybe it's me but I really hate breaches. Unless I'm in a party I'm almost guaranteed to die every time and I prefer to solo.
