Somebody help me out (again) here.
What build should I use for this upcoming league?

I think I will just go with that.
I need something "fast" and "simple" like my classic firm totem builds. I'm old and slow
My brother keeps insisting that King of the Forest or Hand of Wisdom and Action are the best two builds for the next league. I have no idea what I'm building. I just know that I like raider a lot so I'll probably do something related to that.
Howa gear won't be easy to get right off the bat but it didn't receive a nerf. KotF is a terrible starter, lots of tough to get gear if you want to be powerful. I ran one last week and they are fun but it got nerfed on several gear slots.
Flame totem and pizza sticks are both decent starters.
Made it to level 48 with my Fireblast Totem build. Just beat normal difficulty.
Really not getting too much currency to drop. My equipment sucks too I think. Really nothing exciting and even the rares I do have stink.
Lots of fun though -- LOVE the sound the Fireblast makes. Reminds me of fireworks echoing off building in a city. Super cool.
Enjoying the "throwback" league thus far. I'm so lost with all the shit there is though. Essences? I just keep piling them up and saving in my inventory. Think I figured out the mechanics of Breeches at this point.
For now at least I'm playing the solo self found subleague-that means I don't see any parties or the guild stash. I suspect a fair number of people are doing that. In Act 1 Merciless now, weak equipment and mediocre resists. Haven't even found one five socket body armor of any type yet.
I usually find more exalts per league than I do 5 links. You'll probably have to save up your fusings for 5 link craft.
I usually find a 5-link in a day of play (like 8 hours). Exalts on the other hand are about once in 3-4 weeks of steady play probably averaging 4-5 hours a day. Maybe check your filter?
I usually find 2-3 per league and they're usually weapons. Last league I found 3 and only 1 was body armor. I usually find 3-4 exalts per league. I've already found 1 and I'm only level 55.
If anyone would like to share one of those 5-Links, that'd be swell
A low roll 5 link is only 2-4 chaos on poe.trade
Yeah I know. I planned on buying one tonight actually.
But what I COULD use from somebody is a Increased Critical Strikes gem. Can't buy as a Templar and haven't have a drop yet
You can actually. The changed Siosa(the ghost from the painting in the library) to a vendor that you can buy ANY quest based gem from. You just have to complete his quest and the quest that the gem is linked to.
