A bit later than I'd have liked, I've been ill. Have hardly been able to play this week :(
Here's part 2 of a series looking at the 3.23 meta - although it's not a sequel, you don't need to have watched the trade league video first.
Trade league video is here (written days 10-12): https://youtu.be/55xIs6OHxBk
0:00 Intro
0:41 This Is A Followup To The Trade League Video - But Is Designed To Stand Alone
0:52 Methodology - Why I Restrict To Level 92+ (6161 characters)
1:40 Something Is Different About 3.23 - Affliction And Drop-Anywhere Uniques

4:52 The Boneshatter 'Nerf' - Not Much of A Factor In SSF
5:14 Quick Aside On The New Developing Melee Skill - Cleave Of Rage; The Unexpected Melee Buff
6:03 Deep Dive - Drop Anywhere Uniques, Why They Are More Common In 3.23, Meta Impacts
7:28 How People Got Taste Of Hate In SSF Before Affliction - A Major Grind
9:22 How You Get Drop Anywhere Uniques In 3.23 - It's Not Cards, It Is Direct Monster Drops
9:47 How To Maximize Drop Anywhere Uniques In 3.23
10:42 How This Has Changed The Meta - Far More Taste Of Hate, Far More Lightning Coil, Far More Of Any Very Rare Unique In General
11:44 This Is Drop Anywhere Uniques Only, Not Things Like Sanctum Uniques
12:34 Impact Of Transfigured Gems
13:55 Ascendancy Spread
15:35 Top Performer - Guardian SRS (instant-application elemental damage)
16:15 Second Top Performer - Tornado Shot Deadeye (top at very high levels). Most players start out as Lightning Arrow and transition around the point they own 20 GCPs.
17:51 Third Top Performer - Vaal Detonate Dead Ignite Elementalist
18:11 4th - Boneshatter (played as Slayer or Jugg)
18:58 5th (and highest new skill) - Penance Brand of Dissipation
19:41 6th to 13th
20:01 Top 13 (New Gems Only)
20:26 It's An Inexact List - You Can't Precisely Split Everything
21:33 Breakout Uniques - That Which Was Taken, Darkness Enthroned, and several T2 and T3 rarity uniques. Ventor's.

23:11 Have A Great Holiday!
