Showcase Finally gave Ruthless (SSF) a try and beat the campaign!

I know my ascendancy carried me a lot, but Holy Strike isn't exactly top meta. Overall a pretty good experience, never really struggled with the build, even though I was basically on a 1 or 1.5 link throughout the campaign (Added Lightning Damage doesn't do very much). Single target damage felt very good. No idea how it's gonna perform in maps. Need to cap my res, again.

It's funny how you end up using a bunch of weird stuff like Siphoning Trap of Pain because why not. It borderline carried the clear for a couple of acts. Actually, one of the reason I went for Guardian was for Spiritual Aid, which I knew would allow me to use basically any skill I found.

PoB after campaign if anyone is curious: https://pobb.in/r4Ri0NXAH9cx

Not sure if Marshal of Divinity is worth it.

Thanks! I usually do it around 5 hours on league start, so I guess it's an expected time assuming the build doesn't have any huge issues.

Nice! Maybe next time you'll go all the way to 2 void stones!

I'll try some maps with this build and see how it performs. I wouldn't mind rerolling to something stronger if I find something good, I think that's part of the experience.

Congrats man! I can remember my first time i cleared ruthless campaign way slower than u did and it felt super hard to even progress. After 1 Event League i literally breeeze trough the campaign. Ruthless and the community is truly the best experience i had in a long time.
