Hey all.



Some of you may know me - many of you won't. I'm slowly on my way out of this intense ride we call a game, but there's one thing I need to do before I go - submit my GM to the Hall of Grandmasters to be immortalised forever. So here I am today, looking to all of you for help in designing the ultimate grand master to be submitted.



(well, and get my custom forum avatar done but I suppose the ship has sailed on that one)





It's come to my attention that there are currently players BEATING the Hall of GMs - our goal is to do our best to change that. Finding a way to make the AI not behave like a drooling idiot is a key part of this.



I had a build set up that I was going to submit, but with the changes in patch 1.3 it's pretty much kapische. It is now too hard to still reach max block and the other stuff for it without sacrificing too much from the core build. (for reference it can be viewed here http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1089706)





So, with all that out of the way we have a few guidelines to follow - outside of these broad goals there are no limits.



- easy for the AI to control in an aggressive manner.



- probably ranged, to aid in combating all those offscreen cheesers - but a melee who can close gaps VERY quickly is not out of the question.



- must not be vulnerable to trap baiting, even with the dumbass AI doing it's best to walk right over the damn things.



- must be both super tanky and have obliteratingly high DPS. It's no good if they can burst you down quick, and damage must be so high that even the tankiest of the cheesers fear for their lives. It's also no good if they can walk away and break combat to regen, then just come back in.



(to reiterate - must be both JUGGERNAUT and IRON MAN all in one. Lasers are a bonus)



- any cheesy gimmicks that are effective are welcome - whether it's permafreeze, CoD, anything. Keep in mind the AI needs to be able to effectively utilise whatever it is though.



- your budget is UNLIMITED. I will borrow or buy any item in the game that is needed. (as I'm quitting I'll probably do a bunch of borrowing rather than buying and reselling, but if I do need to buy I have tabs and tabs of exalted to throw at the project)







So feel free to submit ideas or builds. We'll work together to arrive at the strongest possible build, should be fun. Looking for concepts, trees, gear setups, etc.





In the end there is only so much we can do - there will still be people beating the map with their PVP builds and cheesing it with various setups. But if even one person dies rather than completing the Hall then our mission will have been a success :)





more info to come as we develop a build.
