Notes

DAY 1 AND 2 UPDATES (put in my current gear set on live into POB)

ONE OF THE EASIEST LEAGUE STARTS I'VE HAD

	-Firestorm powered far better than expected in the campaign and the build was REALLY tanky super early on
	-Farming for Icenova of Frostbolts proved to be a bit more challenging than expected, I would recommend if you hate lab to either farm currency/maps with Firestorm instead or go for Uber Lab instead of Merc lab

EVASION OVER ARMOR

	-I opted to go for Evasion/ES gear early on, and this is mostly due to the fact that I wanted to have easy coloring
	-After playing I would recommend EV/ES this league because of the forced league mechanic mods that add "Phys damage as extra" evasion deals with this a lot better than armor does.
	-Stuns also become less of a problem with EV gear because you are getting hit less

WHAT LEAGUE MECHANICS ARE YOU FARMING FOR GEAR?!

	-Unfortunately the current league seems pretty bad for suppression gear, I think it can be good for Weapons/Rings/Amulet maybe? Bit lackluster at the moment, though this could change.
	-My current gear is mostly from Syndicate drops and ROG, I am trade league so I traded for the Mindspiral and ring.
	-Currently farming ROG for better gloves/boots and then I will focus on better weapon/shield
	-Sanctum seems to be pretty nice on this character, and it drops a lot of divines still, Sanctum is always dependent on how comfortable you are with it mostly though, and you do still have to play well

SELF CAST VS ARCANIST BRAND

	-As I said in the initial video this is preference for mapping, but I think once you get enough cast speed self-cast becomes better clear over arcanist
	-Arcanist Brand is still far better for single target though
