3.29 Ghostflame Artillery Strength Stack Jugg

NOTES -------------------- This is strength stacker shell using new stuff from this league to improve clear. "Ghostflame Artillery" loadout is clear "Nimis" loadout is single-target. There are zero tree changes between the two loadouts, it's just a weapon swap. You can ignore the other loadouts, they are my progression POBs. Single target setup uses Molten Strike of the Zenith with Nimis for huge single target. This is only really necessary for deep delve and ubers, although you can still do those with the clear setup. "Total Weighted Ball Average" calculates an average of 7.5 projectiles hitting, but Nimis makes all 12 also hit on return, so we actually hit 19.5 times on average. (19.5 / 7.5) = 2.6. This is why we put 160% more Molten Strike damage in the config. If you take the slower proj nodes + mastery this multiplier drops to 110% more. Our clear weapon swap uses the new triggered Ghostflame Artillery weapon skill for additional clear, alongside a normal molten strike. This gives less damage (~50m) but full screen projectiles, and respectable enough damage to kill tanky rares and map bosses. Ghostflame artillery triggers on any attack so it goes off from either leap slam or molten strike. Note we don't use multistrike in our molten strike as it lowers the trigger rate for ghostflame. Defenses ---------- 8k life with jugg endurance charges. Rhex talisman means we take 100% of cold and lightning as fire dmg, and we get 90% fire res. We defer 65% of incoming dmg with petrified blood + progenesis which lets us take that damage over time instead. We get overleech from petrified blood for good recovery over time for 5 seconds after hitting, and instant leech with tons of hits gives strong instant recovery. Overleech is strong enough to enter darkness for 5s at 800 depth. Defy pain forbidden flesh / flame gives us a mini defiance of destiny setup. Divine shield also gives us very strong regen when taking phys damage, so our small ES pool acts as a constant regen layer. Together this is enough to afk in full packs of monsters even at 800 delve We also get near attack block cap on the clear setup PRICE BREAKDOWN ------------------ 150D Rhex Talisman %str/%attr/%dmg per strength/t2 strength+life https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Allflame/BgPBeepWU8 160D Helical t1 allres/chaos res/ele res w/ essence strength + life https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Allflame/bG083Zw2cL 85D Nimis https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Allflame/WvKq8k70fm 3D Iron fortress https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Allflame/q90mOlJdtg 1D +2 Crown of eyes 35D Replica Alberons 17% https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Allflame/q90mOOgvig 120D Gloves t0 non-native strength / t1 chaos res/ele res / life / es https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Allflame/op0wWRlqUl 60D Stygian Vise hunter/warlord %attr / essence strength / t1 res / life https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Allflame/3qpdbEXGH5 (NEED WARLORD INFL.

You'll lose a lot of damage from losing the belt slot, but can recraft some of the gear to fit better suffixes with the lower res pressure: - abyssal sockets - all attribute rolls Can also unspec some max res on the tree. You'll overall still lose damage, but get a bit of movespeed and flask consistency. I didn't find this necessary as I have 100% flask uptime in delve already and need the damage Upgrade jewels. This is easy, look for %life, strength, and attack speed. Also can get emperor's mastery, emperor's might, or both. Level to 100. I would take slower proj nodes, or more life nodes, or craft a cluster jewel with 35% inc/strength/all attributes/life Get life gain on hit on sword. This lets you drop instant leech Vestigial uniques for iron fortress or crown of eyes. Easiest is abyssal socket on crown of eyes. I currently rely on the +2 to purity of fire for my last point of max res, but you can get this elsewhere Volatile vaal orb replica alberons Purity of fire sublime vision. This is expensive. Then you can reroll amulet to %attr talisman and drop cold and lightning res entirely. Very big defensive upgrade. Original Sin + new weapon for huge damage. This is really expensive (2 mir)
