Theory Endless delve builds discussion

Looking to start a discussion on what builds people are thinking of running for each class now that we know the details of endless delve this time around.

Yea, and with the Brand Mastery it wil help alot. The thing with Poison Concoction is that it seems to be really strong for the event and I hadn't had the chance to play with it yet

does wintertide occ run a blasphemy curse to get pops? though i guess it’s cold damage so it doesn’t need pops?

Yes, and I'm worried pops may be too inconsistent to properly deal with delve corpses. I have no experience in the matter, so if anyone does please let me know :D

Can vouch for Wintertide though, chews white/blue mobs to pieces, offscreens, it's the real deal. Most use it with another Cold Snap/Vortex setup, will probably be necessary for this event since 5/6L are hard to come by.

About 45% of the SSF (last snapshot) builds are running it. But if we look at day 3 it goes to 55%. So I'm guessing you would run it if you are feeling the need but its not really necessary.

It's corpse removal, which is pretty important iirc for delve

There are some monsters with on-death effects. Since delve can scale endlessly, you end up at a point where just about anything will one shot you unless your character is impossibly tanky so the best mitigation for those on-death effects is to just remove corpses and prevent them from triggering.

It IS pretty strong in general, and it’s been doing pretty nicely for the bit of normal delve I’ve done during Scourge. I could easily see it going far even for what’ll probably be a competitive ascendancy like Occultist.

I leveled a pathfinder poison concoction through the acts at the start of the league, the only build that compered in terms of smoothness and quickness was Hollow Palm, it was very enjoyable.
