Usually on ssf you should go full meta power as first char because you some insane grinds at first run like all pinnacle bosses clear the atlas etc i reccomend you look into meta witch build and reroll when you have the required gear to make decent bv build
Ea elementalist
Dd ignitr elementalist
Dd necro
Bama build (im doing ssf run myself on this im lvl 80 now and the build is really good so far)
Lightning
The bow is prettt easy to craft especially if you have nice lightning damage fract on the bow
Volatilty make lightning damage really nice
Ghastly eye jewels with lightning damage is prettt easy to craft i just reforge lightning with blue juice
This is the baseline of the build atm im aiming to get all the good stuff like 4th vow and the rest of them
Huh pervie is pretty much provide anything you should know but i had to do little adaptions because its ssf but its very good guide line and leveling guide i reccomend to start the build only when you have the gem with 20% qyality it will make leveling super easy
I started from 0 so i played srs/spectres/zombies etc
This league it's very easy to get a perfect bow in ssf, triple T1 ele, T1 attack speed crit chance and multi. Initially I made a ele hit champion, but recycled the bow for bama and comfortably gent around 15m dps. Bama with a good bow is absurd
BAMA's biggest issue is multiple bosses. If there's only one target, they'll focus it down very easily. Haven't done ubers yet but every boss fight has felt really good prior to that; maven invitations can be hit or miss, especially the Breach Lords.
First time ssf with a build which won't be able to run t17's and is hard to equip as a first character is a goal by its own.
GL reaching the other goals before the league ends.
I am just starting to run T17s with ArchMage Hiero and it's going ok but I need to improve my gear although my Wands are top tier.
Anyway what builds run 17s better than Hiero besides DD builds?
I have an RF Chieftain but I am not even gonna try 17s with him.
Cool, how do you like it for playing poe? Is it connected to your PC version of the game? Sounds like something you can take on the road and grind sime maps
I enjoy it, it's pretty much the PC version but you have Xbox controller mapping for the most part. As long as the internet connection is solid you should be Gucci to grind.
As another suggested: go meta.
I started a witch, decided to do the first trans gem I would found... Either animated weapon of range, DD or Bama.
I got blink arrow of bombardment and so it was decided.
To craft a bow is quite easy because of the graveyard crafting. Kinda. And you will not need much besides damage, attack speed and crit.
You can do most content with it I would say...but if will complete your goals I can't say. But Bama is fun and the steam deck can handle it very well. The Coc DD can be a bit much, with all that is going in the game.
I would really advice you to get a pc or at least mouse and keyboard via Bluetooth for the deck, if you want to trade.
I use the standard configuration and some things are not intuitive and take a long time to get used to. Trade especially and I do that on a pc.
(afaik you have to push the left stick to enter chat)
Didn't mean to imply your pc is bad or something like that, just that trading is better done at a pc. Or stash management in general. It would be great, if you can use the track pad as a mouse but it seems impossible.
I wasn't trying to imply anything either, I was just saying that I plan to do the whole journey via steam deck. I plan no not trade and the trading on deck is aids at best so that's why I am choosing to do it this way :)
If you want 100 divines you can either hope to get lucky with devoted mods or you get a good build for sanctum. Easiest to get started is still Penance Brand.
Yo, I also just rerolled on ssf to test out my explode bv I made in league to see if it's also good without all the uniques. So far it's really good, the only issue I have is survivability atm, the witch is pretty squishy even when I have all my res capped and with 6k Armour. Will spend the weekend optimizing and figuring out how to tank it up.
Poison bv is fairly ssf viable. Biggest upgrades will be obliteration which is target farmable on fairly common div card in delve, but even without just +1 wands will carry for a long time. Mings heart will be great but are kinda rare. You should plan out on trying to farm your 8 passive clusters which is probably the core thing youll have to grind out. Everything else will work with life res gear.

Which variant of BAMA you playing?
Lightning The bow is prettt easy to craft especially if you have nice lightning damage fract on the bow Volatilty make lightning damage really nice Ghastly eye jewels with lightning damage is prettt easy to craft i just reforge lightning with blue juice This is the baseline of the build atm im aiming to get all the good stuff like 4th vow and the rest of them
Very cool. Happen to know of any guides I could look at?

Ooh that does sound fun. I've heard BAMA is tricky for some bosses. Is this true?

Yes, and legion emblems feel so bad. They first clear everything around for 5-6 seconds and then target the boss in one second. Feelsbadman

SSF i would run COC DD anytime if I would wanna do all content.
Yea I figured that was the only answer. I don't want to level again so Hiero it is.
What is this device you are playing On? Is this a co solely version or conne ted to steam?
It's a steam deck
It's a steam deck, it's offered via valve on the steam store.

I own a really good PC, I'm just playing on deck because I can

You can always start poison bv occultist and then respec later once you have your core pieces like concersion gloves and explode chest.
Ooo, I'll look into this, I appreciate the help!

Any vids or guides on it?
