Impale Reap Juggernaut Build Guide

************************************************ Build About Basics/Summary *********************************************************************** ~ Impale via entropic devastation(need crit) -> get crit with sandstorm helm and crit clusters ~ eternal damnation + tempered by war + jugg + max fire res -> giga elemental damage reduction ~ Stack endurance charges for phys reduction/aoe scaling/%damage/regen ~ throw on annihilations approach with our insane fire damage mitigation for extra speed. (will pk you if you aren't res capped for fire without endurance charge when afk) ************************************************ Mandatory Key Pieces **************************************************************************** *Sandstorm: This unique represents up to 5-6% base crit on our build and is mandatory in order to have easy time crit capping. *Eternal Damnation: Helps us get insane mitigation when combined with jugg armour node *Entropic devastation: A large part of our damage is based around impale/phys damage *Awakened Spell cascade: Reap does not feel good imo without the extra area hits from awakened spell cascade and it allows us to triple hit for big damage. word of caution: *Annhiliations approach: not mandatory and I would recommend not using this until overkill sustain/mitigation is achieved as it comes with hefty degen downside ************************************************ Pros & Cons ****************************************************************************************** Pros: *Ultra tanky(can afk most content) *high dps *All Content Viable *solid clear Cons: *Not OP tanky against chaos damage(only chaos res capped) *harder to gear due to extra res needs with tempered by war *dies to -max / no regen / less recovery / phys reflect maps (map mods can be punishing(turn off flame touch for some of these mods is necessary)) ************************************************ Budget Friendly / SSF Viable?? ****************************************************************************************** No, I believe awakened spell cascade is mandatory piece of this build. without it reap will not feel very good to play in my opinion. ************************************************ Leveling ********************************************************************************** This character has too many mandatory pieces with high level requirement (awakened spell cascade / eternal damnation / entropic devastation / sandstorm ect). Because of this I recommend leveling as another build(example rf jugg) until you can respec and equip these pieces. I will only be including trees from 70 to 98 because of this. ************************************************ PoB DPS? ****************************************************************************************** I honestly have no idea/very little care to setup dps correctly in pob, damage is good enough for ubers in relatively short time frame. ************************************************ Bandits & Pantheon ************************************************* Bandits: Kill all Pantheon: arakaali for extra degen mitigation / solaris is good as well. Minor: garukhan to mitigate shocks ************************************************ Body Armour Craft ********************************************************************************** ~Buy fractured life glorious plate ~fossil Dense + faceted + sanctified (go for high armour +1strength, can add in glyphic fossil for onslaught when hit if you want to go ultra high end) ~Benchcraft if open affix once you get satisfactory affixes ~eldritch currency for +2 max res + pride/determ/purity of fire effect/life recovery rate. ************************************************ Shield Craft ********************************************************************************** 1~ Buy Fractured Max all res(ifyou are rich) or max fire res(es base shield) 2~ phys reforge till high % spell damage + reflect phys( or if you hit phys spell skip to step 5) 3~ anul to open prefix / suffix if full prefixes/suffixes 4~ prefixes can't be changed + add physical harvest aug craft 5~ Cannot roll caster bench + anul to remove reflect physical(this protects +1 phys and %spell damage from anul, but anul may still remove benchcraft) reapply benchcraft and keep trying till reflect phys mod is gone. 6~ benchcraft prefix and exalt slam a suffix to get to 2 suffixes(we want one open suffix, do not slam if already 2 suffixes) 7~ benchcraft prefixes can't be change or (cannot roll caster(im not sure this works or not for harvest aug/anul combo, can't remember if its obeyed or not tbh) -> harvest add life and pray you hit decent life roll prefix(go bad to step 5 if bad life roll) 8~ prefixes can't be changed + reforge caster -> pray for good spell crit(repeat till happy or bricked suffixes) 9~ benchcraft you are done. ************************************************ Wand Craft ********************************************************************************** 1~ buy fractured base sage wand or other wand with high base crit and low int requirement(fractured spell crit/base crit/spell damage/multi) 2~ fossil spam (corroded + jagged + metallic + shuddering) 3~ anul off a suffix, if brick go back to fossil step 4~ cannot roll attack add physical harvest (can potentially brick here as well(removing all spell)) we are here~ +2 wand with fractured mod and potentially good spell damage 5~prefixes can't be changed + veiled chaos -> crit chance/trigger/multi/double dam 6~bench craft trigger/multi/double damage DONE ************************************************ Damage Rare Ring ********************************************************************************** 1~Scorn essence spam till 2 or 3 good suffix 2~(only if open suffix, must anul if only good 2 suffix) suffixes can't be changed + caster reforge to force on cast speed suffix 3~suffixes can't be changed + veiled chaos -> block mana -> unveil life ************************************************ Belt ********************************************************************************** 1~pristine fossil spam a elder/hunter stygian till good %life and flat life 2~prefixes can't be changed +reforge crit to force flask crit mod if open prefix 3~prefixes can't be changed + veiled chaos 4~slam + benchcraft = done
