Jousis's Notes

This no longer works as of 3.7. Many aspects of the build were target nerfed. New version of the build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up8gku8hTkY

This is the sequel to the Forbidden Build, which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWyV0kIp5n4

You can download Path of Building and import the above codes into the application in order to see the passive skill tree, items, and skill gem setups for the build.

With the unlimited budget version, we can achieve truly absurd DPS that is completely unnecessary in every circumstance.

The regular character is extremely low-budget, but performs exceptionally well in most circumstances. There are no 4-links or 5-links, and without going for fancy mods like cooldown recovery rate and Insanity shaper gloves, you can put the whole thing together for less than 20 chaos. I'd say that's pretty good for something that can delete Shaper in less than 1 second. Also, it should be pretty easy to get more life than I showed in the video. My gear was pretty terrible -- crafted life on the gloves and belt, no life on the helmet or boots. With a small amount of flat life from abyss jewels, we can easily push 6k life, which is more acceptable. Someone who is better at the game than me (there's a reason this build is level 88 after 2 weeks) would be able to pierce the heavens with this build.

It's been over 2 weeks and YouTube still hasn't renewed my partnership, but I uploaded this anyway, because I said it would take about 2 weeks, and it's almost been 3. I hope you like it!
