For a moment there i thought Invasion league was like Dark souls PVP where you invade other players games and try to kill them for their items

Only one vaal gem from a vaal zone though.

Duelist, Ranger or Shadow Dex builds. Or you could do a Crusader totem build.

My favorite's always been a dual-wielding claw shadow with lightning strike. It's definitely not optimal, but the life gain from claws is really nice to have, and lightning strike works pretty well for AoE. Add in Viper Strike and/or Frenzy for single target and mix and match auras/Arctic Armor for defense.

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

Poison Arrow has never done me wrong, although I think enemy resistances to Chaos damage do get higher in higher difficulties.

Do major deeps when you're in a group.  Use puncture and kite things when you're playing by yourself.

I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but use an autohotkey script for /oos.  The syncing for PoE is just execrable; recently, I've been seeing 1/5 minute delays between syncs.  That's the big reason I won't play hardcore (the other is that I'm too lazy to play with that risk and commitment).

The best vaal zone I've seen so far was in Sarn City (so Rema).  It had contains 2 unique bosses and players are cursed with temporal chains.

Heres one I modified from one on the poe forums. Triggers on v, Hit F10 to pause it. Edit it to change the key used.

Well I was looking forward to checking incinerate out on that witch, but I guess the minute long desync next to Sawbones had something else to say about it.

While I'm here, can anyone offer some pointers on melee witches? What skills to shoot for and such? Really anything that needs to be mentioned, if anyone knows how they operate. I looked on the subreddit and found nothing, sooo yeah.

I feel like infernal blow/glacial hammer + a ranged magic skill to be safe would be ideal, but I really don't know a lot about how elemental damage operates in general.

And yes, I know this is probably a terrible idea that will result in no end of tears for me, but I have to be contrary with my ARPG builds or I'll die.

I really need to get back into this, I just don't have the time. Haven't even tried the Sacrifice of the Vaal content.
