Read 3.24 Updates In Description - My 3.22 Leaguestarter. Chieftain Searing Bond. POE Path of Exile

#poe #pathofexile #necropolis

I'll likely be starting in 3.24 with a version of this build (this video originally from 3.22 so see the update notes in text). I'll modify it to the Fire Trap version.

Newer player notes: This isn't a full guide with every step explained. I probably don't have time to make a full new player version of this until week 2 of the league. There's broad strokes overviews of levelling, but not all steps.

28-Mar-2024 - Update for 3.24

This build was designed for 3.22. It was not playable in 3.23, but it WILL be viable in 3.24 as tattoos are back.

I believe Fire Trap is the superior choice to Superior Searing Bond (which has the effect Phantasmal Searing Bond had in 3.22). Fire Trap's main benefits are that it can ignite (based on the instant damage component of the trap, not the burning ground) and can use Trap and Mine Damage Support, which is very powerful. It's clunky, but so is Searing Bond.

Changes: Tattoo of the Ngamahu Firewalker has been nerfed (8% to 6%) but we still use it. With the 'Red Nightmare' package this means we need more block on our shield. The +1 gem level tattoo no longer exists. Replica Dragonfang's Flight has been nerfed and you might want the Fire Trap version instead. Because of the RDF nerf, we still probably use it but likely can't fit in Defiance Banner.

Righteous Fire has been nerfed but its damage was never all that important (even in 3.22 it was only ~13% of our total damage)

Infernal Cry survives the nerfs for our purposes. We still use it, and we don't automate.

Aspirational Gear Options: Defiance of Destiny may be very expensive in 3.24 but the amulet is a defensive powerhouse and honestly is quite broken. We want it.

Or we can go offensive, and get a Focused Amulet with +1 all skills, +1 fire skills and (if we can afford the Hinekora's Lock augmented Hunter exalt) T1 fire DOT multi.

We could also seek out a Skin of the Lords with Iron Reflexes. Absolutely trade league only. If you get this with useful socket colours, you fit Grace into the build no matter what you have to sacrifice.

CORRECTION: I mention 'Warlord's Cry' at one point. This should be Infernal Cry
