Now that we're more than 1 week into the league I can safely say that this build succeeded in achieving what I was hoping for.

Had no real trouble during mapping, can do upto t15 maps without much trouble (almost looking at a complete atlas right now) Fairly tanky build as it is, although I still find myself getting the ocassional huge hit from chaos damage due to my current resistances. I find it very valuable to go with a rumi's concoction build for sustained capped block chance in terms of survival (picking up a few bloch nodes here and there); since trash clearing is obviously not an issue, and having high block chance paired with the high armor values and taste of haste damage mitigation is a great boost on survival.

I ended up going with cold penetration gem over the cold to fire gem,since even if cold to fire shows up as more damage in pob it's not more damage on certain targets that have elemental resistance, and since our current ele pen is low I find it way more valuable to be able to get cold pen over multiple elemental sources of damage. Haven't really tried the ice spear set up for the EO sustain but i'm not sure if it's really worth it that much.

I'm fairly certain that the new loreweave is a great fit for the build as well since elemental damage is way more of an issue than phys damage specially with block cap.

Got an elder kill but no shaper kill so I'm still needing to test the waters there, atziri was a real pain in the ass to kill tbh (not even uber atziri), but izaro on the other hand was no big deal.

The new belt the Nomad is also a great fit for the build, although I'm starting to think that if I were to go with loreweave over belly I'll probably need to consider going with a rare belt for resistances so I can also afford getting some chaos res on some items as well.

All in all, sure, this isn't a tier 1 build, but It serves its purpose and it's a good build to try out the new skill mechanics and it's by no means unable to do content; it might take slightly more investment than your run of the mill league starter, but it works, sort of.

This is just a small demo of SST in action in T7 Underground River map, so that you will have an understanding what to expect in mid/game. My gear is still very basic and uber lab not done.

I'm running T11-T12 maps with your build atm ( https://pastebin.com/t96rUG10 if anyone is curious). I'm still pretty noob ( I pretty much don't know many uniques or mods :< ) but I know that I lack HP and a bit damage, I guess? My buddy told me to get rid of hrimsorrow, so I could get some damage on rings instead of tripple resistance. I still have a belly of the beast in my stash that I'm trying to 6L ( 300 fusings in :< ) but it just won't happen. If you have any suggestions on what to change, I'd be more than happy.

This is pretty much my first real league and it has been a blast with this build :)

Also, I don't really know if I play the build effectivly.
What I do most of the time is to use all buffs for tailwind stacks and using Flasks at bosses (trash dies instantly anyway, so no need to use flask there) and be as close range as I can get to get more damage off and going range if I need HP or I see big damage incoming from a skill.

Any advice would be appreciated.
