Starting Private League - All-arounder Build Recs

Hello! I am starting a private league with around 20 people from my guild today, and was hoping for some recommendations on league starters. I would like to play a more all-arounder that is not super tedious to play. Do not mind gem/gear-swapping for pinnacles. This will be SSF-lite, as everyone shares items, so usually a bit easier to find uniques.

I league started Luminary > storm burst totems re-roll on day 3 > back to Luminary, so do not want to play Luminary again.

After scrolling through Day 1-3 skills, so far I am considering the following builds:

  • WOrb - I heard some friends say the gameplay is a tad annoying, but undoubtedly heard its strong.
  • Cold DoT - heard its strong, but haven't played cold dot before and dont know anything about it. Is gameplay tedious? And is single target sufficient?
  • PRAW - constantly see people on reddit raving about this build performance on a budget. Skimmed Helmbreaker's maxroll guide. sounds strong. Usually not a minion player though
  • Hexblast of contradiction Ignite - saw Paak league started this and I think it performed well? Have played Reap ignite once before, and I recall struggling on single target
  • Lightning Tendrils/Shock Nova of Precession - Have never played self-cast spells before in end game. Is this a good league starter? No clue on any details on this but have seen people on reddit say its good.
  • RF - I have always avoided RF due to single target. But in listening to Dreamcore, he is raving about the new scorching ray of immolation totems. Has anyone tried this and is it actually a big step-up on single target?

Welcome to any other suggestions as well.

I really appreciate any feedback!

Luxurious SUV with 4WD - ~$75k Budget

Hello fine people! I am looking to purchase a new car in the near future. I am not the most knowledgeable on cars, but watch review videos from time to time from people like Doug Demuro. This will be my first high-value car purchase.

I am looking for a car with the following characteristics:

  • My Age = 35 year old single male
  • My Location = Georgia, USA. Although potentially might move to Pacific NW in the coming years
  • Budget = $75k max (obviously fine to spend less)
  • Size = Small-Medium size SUV
  • New/Used = Usually prefer buying used with less than 40k miles
  • Interior = Luxurious interior (high-quality leather, steering wheel, etc.)
  • Performance = Some degree of good acceleration (thinking V6-V8, although would not totally count out EV)
  • Drivetrain = Would prefer 4WD, as I take camping trips from time to time, but not 100% necessary
  • Reliability = Minimum fair/average degree of reliability (historically I am not the best on car maintenance besides oil changes, hopefully that will change with this purchase)
  • Technology = Up-to-date technology within the past few years ideally, no specifics

Current car = 2014 Hyundai Sante Fe Tech package

Fallback car I have been considering for many years = Toyota 4Runner TRD. Have also always wanted a Land Rover/Range Rover, but have heard reliability is not good on these.

Thanks for any feedback!!

I have never done a ward-based build before, and I know they are very strong this league with the Heroic Tragedy jewel introduction. But I am super confused about the categories of builds utilizing ward. I know some are attack-based, some spell-based, and some which are stacking other things like intelligence, but I am unclear what are the key differences in how they are built regarding ward.

Can someone help explain the different archetypes?

Thanks for any feedback!
