hexsis555's Notes

Pssst exile, have too many of them exults? Want some dank meme builds?

I got you covered fam.

If you are anything like me and hate meta builds, like getting out of your way to test some dumb ideas and see how far can you push them to hopefully polish a turd into a diamond then say no more. I have been pushing the Couric limits and hoarding my meme builds, but now I'd like to share the extra spicy nuggets with you guys.

​

My top 5 meme builds for 3.17:

  1. Riposte Hollow Palm Gladiator (The Slap) (POB: https://pastebin.com/98AU9jJA)
  2. Cyclone CoC DD (100% fire to chaos poison mega prolif) (POB: https://pastebin.com/d1fZajum)
  3. Searing Bond Hierophant (Searing + Body Swap Totems) (POB: https://pastebin.com/7xy5hAiG)
  4. Frostblink Occultist (The Ultimate Freeze) (POB: https://pastebin.com/wEiMNvgQ)
  5. Vacuum Storm Rain Totem Reflect Ass Burner (so nice it burns twice) (POB: https://pastebin.com/CJD10Mpz)

​

​

1. Riposte Hollow Palm Gladiator (The Slap)

POB: https://pastebin.com/98AU9jJA

possible Eff Hp: 85k+ | possible dps: 13M+ sirus | avg slap dmg: 3m

How it works:

  • You cyclone past a mob which hits you.
  • You block and slap the shit out of the mob for interrupting your morning stroll.

Pros:

  • The slap animation (when you are unarmed/unencumbered Riposte has a slap/clap animation);
  • Perfect for all you sado-maso chads that do not evade hits, this build requires you to face tank and collect all the projectiles;
  • Can reach up to 3.2M sirus average slap (if there are two enemies, we can shotgun for 6.4M avg slap);
  • Perfect for juicy maps;
  • If stars align the single target can total up to 13.5M sirus dps (slap + cyclone + bleed);
  • Can reach 75/75 block (no glancing), 100% spell suppression chance;-
  • Frostblink as travel skill to not interrupt cyclone.

Cons:

  • Socket starved;
  • You need to block in order to block'n'slap.

​

​

2. Cyclone CoC DD (100% fire to chaos poison mega prolif)

POB: https://pastebin.com/d1fZajum

possible Eff Hp: 58k+ | possible dps: 12M+ sirus

How it works:

  • You cyclone;
  • You crit;
  • You DD.

Pros:

  • Binos + occultist profane bloom = no mobs found on screen or the next 4 screens if you juiced enough;-Maximum satisfaction for disappearing blight mob lines.
  • Overleech, 76 chaos res, 60+ Spell suppression chance, some block, some evasion;
  • 100% fire to chaos conversion;
  • Crispy/juicy pops all around;
  • Frostblink as travel skill to not interrupt cyclone.

Cons:

  • You don't want to play other builds;

Other:

FYI: Brittle on shoe slot for extra crit (Searing Exarch Embers mod)

​

​

3. Searing Bond Hierophant (Searing + Body Swap Totems)

POB: https://pastebin.com/7xy5hAiG

possible Eff Hp: 25k+ | possible dps: 11M+ sirus

How it works:

  • You cast body swap totems;
  • You cast searing bond totems;
  • Run around like an idiot while totems do the job (no positioning required for searing bond since body swap totems always drop on their face);

Pros:

  • Great league starter, does not cost much to get of the ground.
  • Great for beginners since you can spend most of the time dodging and let your totems do the work.

Cons:

  • No pants (lacking some defensive layers).

​

​

4. Frostblink Occultist (The Ultimate Freeze)

POB: https://pastebin.com/wEiMNvgQ

possible Eff Hp: 35k+ | possible dps: 22M+ sirus | avg hit: 5M+(shotgun)

How it works:

  • You frostblink into things.

Pros:

  • Maximum satisfaction guaranteed;
  • 4.393 Frostblink casts per second against a single unique mob!
  • Freeze/shatter everything, whole screens/packs/bosses! With Blast-Freeze cluster notable we spread the freezes made by, Occultist Frigid Wake ascendancy, Anomalous Arctic Armor, Frost bomb and Frostblink;
  • Casual 1 link frostbomb with 1M avg hit to apply brittle;
  • You know how you always die to those pesky 8x essence mobs? Well fear no more, because they will remain frozen as you unfreeze them;
  • Although 25k eff hp, we seem very tanky since we freeze all freezable content, if we dont freeze em then we chill for max value;
  • PSST, not meme enough? Try out this Annihilating light version with 10M avg shotgun, up to 35M dps (good luck capping resists tho) https://pastebin.com/QjrxeRWL ;
  • Giga chad linear map clear speed if you jump from pack to pack.

Cons:

  • Constant jumping requires constant precise aiming;
  • Constant jumping might be annoying (still not as bad as flicker).

​

​

5. Vacuum Storm Rain Totem Reflect Ass Burner (so nice it burns twice)

POB: https://pastebin.com/CJD10Mpz

possible Eff Hp: 69k+ | possible dps: ???

Now if you got this far it means you are no pleb and you want the ultimate dank meme build which you could find, this is so non-meta that not only you dont get a tooltip for dps in game, you dont even get a dps in POB.

How it works:

  1. Cast storm rain totems in a cluster;
  2. Sit tight and watch everything get vacuumed with 100% reverse knockback (empires grasp + blunderbore).
  3. Each ignite procs totem reflect with Eye of Innocence.
  4. ???
  5. Profit

Pros:

  • I know you weirdos like a good vacuum, this is THE vacuum.
  • 7 Totems, 12 projectiles each, 2.79 attack speed, storm rain pulses in between each arrow?... you pull entire screens to a single location and totem reflect the enemy down.
  • Can handle a good juicing, you can throw any league mechanic at it; this was the only build that let me sit in a corner with 150+ scourge stacks in 3.16 and watch everything around get sucked in and never to be seen again;
  • Burns enemies, CRT monitors and your motherboard;
  • Eye candy (or cancer) depends on what you like;
  • With my calculations, the dps stands anywhere from 2M sirus to 5-10M sirus;
  • Beefy
  • Blunderbore + gull shrine galore;
  • The only build certified to farm Whakawairua Tuahu;
  • Some even say the same totems were used to create the hole from which Malachai rises from.

Cons:

  • You do damage in a tiny area, hence bosses that cant be knocked back and move around a lot can be an issue.
