[PoE-1] Maw of Mischief Scavenger (Build Guide) (Legacy of Phrecia)

-----------------------Build Stats---------------- Damage: 4/5 Defense: 3/5 Mapping: 5/5 Bossing: 5/5 -----------------------Pros----------------------- 1. Fantastic All-Rounder (Excellent Mapper, Excellent Bosser) 2. 300k+ Spectre Life, 20m+ DoT DPS 3. 90% Effective Block Chance 4. Ailment Immunity 5. No Cluster Jewel Required -----------------------Cons----------------------- 1. Weak Against Chaos DoT Damage 2. Can't do 'Ailment Avoidance' and 'Less Recovery Rate' Map Mods ----------------------- Event Specific Note----------------------- 1. Rashkaldor's Patience gives us 100% Ignite Chance. That allows this build to function without the need to be an Elementalist. 2. Alternatively, there are 105% Ignite Chance in the passive tree. That also works, but eats up too many passive points. 3. The Ascendency progression should be in this order: Blunderbore > Sinvicta's Mettle > Death Rush. 4. Another alternate Ascendency option would be: Blunderbore > Obliteration > Zerphi's Heart. 5. In the alternate option, Zerphi's Heart will allow the enemy explosions from Obliteration to chain the Ignites. 6. For the build to work, we need the unique Maw of Mischief helmet, and it's not a low level unique. So we must level with something else. For league start in this event, I suggest going with something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bns_RrOUnU I myself am planning to go with this and farm enough currency to reroll into Maw of Mischief. ----------------------- Build Note----------------------- 1. Even though Death Wish is a Channelling skill, we don't need to channel it to full stages before releasing it. Reaching just 1 stage and releasing is more than enough in most situations. Note that, 1 stage explodes 1 spectre, and channeling to full stages will explode them all. 2. For maximum DPS (only during Bossing), you can add a Summon Skeleton gem in the build, then summon 9 skeletons, and then channel to the max stage (13 stage is max) and release. For Bossing, you can also swap Berek's Respite with Replica Emberwake for a significant DPS boost. 3. The Spectres used in this build are Perfect Dark Marionette and they have a whopping 300k Life each! These Spectres can be acquired from either Ritual rewards or be bought from other players. We use 4 of them. After their death, these Spectres revive automatically after 4 seconds. So we don't lose them after they explode/die. 4. The secret to the absurd Spectre Life lies in the Elegent Hubris Timeless Jewel, whose Seed is 101540. It gives us 2x Axiom Warden node for 160% increased Minion Life. This same Timeless Jewel also gives us 3x Slum Lord node for 240% increased Minion Damage, which with the effect of The Scourge, is actually 360% increased damage for us. 5. Being the Caspiro variant, the Elegent Hubris also gives us the Supreme Ostentation Keystone, which lets us use as many Tattoos as we want. For the Tattoos, we are using 21x Hinekora Warmonger, 5x Ngamahu Warrior, 3x Ngamahu Firewalker, and 1x Ramako Fleetfoot. 6. Even though the Hit based damage from the Explosions are pretty high, we are not doing them frequently enough. So ignore that part of the DPS in PoB. Ignite is our main damage source here. 7. Ignite Proliferation from the Berek's Respite ring is unmatched. It gives us an insane level of clearspeed while mapping (old pre-nerf ED-Contagion level clearspeed). 8. We use the Eldritch Battery Keystone for using our skills, and for that to properly work, we must have some source of Energy Shield in our gears. This we cover in our Gloves. 9. The Svalinn shield is a huge game changer. It's Chance to Block is Lucky mod is what gives us the effective 90% Block Chance. It also automates normal Molten Shell (the Vaal version we have to use manually). 10. Be careful of Chaos Dot Damage. This build is weak against it. 11. To achieve Ailment Immunity, we get a combined 100% Chance to Avoid Shock mod on our Stygian Vise Belt and it's Abyss Jewel socket, and pair them with the Stormshroud jewel. 12. The Endurance Charges and Frenzy Charges are On Kill effect, and as such, they are typically not available during Boss Fights. They are primarily for Mapping. ======================================================================================================================== If you have any other questions, please ask in the youtube comment section (As I still don't have a Discord server yet).
