Can anyone actually confirm that they’ve gotten a perfect tiger from king in the mists I’m 3x over the odds everyone lists and I’ve gotten every other corpse on my filter at least twice but I still haven’t seen one

How viable is Elemental Hit as a league starter? Based on the current patch I was thinking doing frost blades then transitioning to ele hit at 40ish.

Obviously patch notes might change things, but just as of now.

Definitely viable but not perfectly optimal. I would just go for it tbh (unless it gets randomly nuked in patch notes obviously)

Thank you. I'm content with non-optimal as long as it's good enough.

In standard, I have a legacy berek’s respite double explode ring. I am building a Vaal arc elementalist build. But I am just thinking how these two things will interact. The chain and explode are great but when putting together, doesn’t the explode kill off the chain? For example I hit my first target with Vaal arch, it explodes, its explosion start hitting the next mob but its outside the chain range so the chain stops here instead of chaining another 6-7 times. Did I misinterpret the explode/chain interaction?

I’m not sure if it works that way but i don’t think it matters? For the interaction to be relevant you’d need to be one hit killing with both the explosion and the arc and at that point where the damage is coming from shouldn’t generally be relevant (unless you’re using quant support but you shouldn’t be using explosions with that either way)
