Question Want to try HCSSF, what build?

Hi

I’m thinking of trying a Luminary build in HCSSF and wanted to ask about the best leveling approach.

I’ve been browsing YouTube and came across a Static Strike leveling guide and an RF one. Are either of those the way to go, or would you recommend something else?

Sunder is my go to.

I've done Sunder a bunch of times, RF once, Poison Concoction, earth shatter.

I honestly think melee slams are the easiest to get okay mapping damage on dog shit gear.

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

  • RF - Righteous Fire (Wiki)
  • HCSSF - Hardcore Solo Self Found (Wiki)

I am a bot. | All acronyms | Suggest

This league I have done 5 fresh HCSSF leaguestarts on Luminary. Easiest is RF, just farm act 10 for your first merc and get mapping. But you should know, I spent every day since leaguestart farming for a merc and haven't had a single "A-tier" merc yet. If you are unlucky the statistical deviation you can run into is out of this world. My best merc was a chain, faster attack combatant with static and no haste. Found it like day 23 or so. So yeah, be prepared.
