NeoMagnet's Notes

Hello and happy holidays! I've been spending some of my downtime this holiday season theorycrafting a super tanky pathfinder build, described in my initial post here. As a quick tl;dr, basically the build abuses Loreweave + Transcendence + the new Eternal Damnation unique as well as full phys taken as elemental to get nutty mitigation numbers. We leverage flask effectiveness and uptime to get perma sustain on Taste of Hate to achieve this. Without further ado, here are some POBs (all poison builds bc pathfinder):

Shield Crush (based on Jungroan's build): https://pastebin.com/i4KBeDV7

Blade Vortex: https://pastebin.com/X8XML1Sn

Poisonous Concoction: https://pastebin.com/yd9nYH0U

Template (No skills or offensive investment): https://pastebin.com/txx0GSjA

According to POB, all of these should be able to facetank uber maven memory game without any temp buffs up (i.e. no molten shell, elusive, etc). They also output 2.5mil+ dps with fully ramped wither + poison stacks, and 3-4.5mil with Vaal Blight/Vaal Haste up. I can't play rn, so I'm putting these builds out there in the hopes that someone will play them and make a little showcase video if they work :)

EDIT: It has come to my attention that the helmet in the POBs is impossible. The best thing you can get is 8% from eldritch implicit + 8% from benchcraft, which leaves 5% of physical damage taken unconverted. This should still be fine and overall does not impact tankiness too much, but please do not try to craft that helmet!
