I will make one suggestion for those leveling up in SSF and encountering those fissures:
Stack the crap out of gear with life regen. At levels 1-30, very helpful to counter the crap thrown at you in the Fissures.
Otherwise, constantly upgrade the gear as you play through. If you level quickly, you need to upgrade quickly. That’s about it.
I keep changing skills based on what I’m wearing at the time. Currently running Magefists with 20% fire damage, so fire skills, and a quiver giving Bolas a hell of a boost.
But 2 levels from now, that may change again. Part of what keeps this fun for me, constantly changing things around.
And that’s with me using this ruleset when playing SSF:
-I actually took the SSF feature farther than intended
Game on.
