PoB: https://pastebin.com/dBPRQUK9
I'm glad I get to share this with you all.
Other post with first draft for reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/wft7yp/i_am_unironically_trying_to_league_start_with/
So notable changes:
- I dropped that Axes and Onslaught copium. Switched to swords. As expected, so much easier.
- I stopped hanging onto the idea of cluster jewels so passive hopefully isn't as trash.
- I dropped Arctic Armour and Precision, switched Grace for Determination, added Pride and Blood-
and-Sand.
- I also touched up the rare gear a little bit so they aren't the barebones stuff PoB gave as a default.
Keep in mind they are still template level gear, so you can assume better stuff in an actual play
environment.
Comments:
- To clarify what this tree and gear represents, this is what I feel I can reasonably expect to have on
around the time I'm doing T14+ maps (lv88 in this case).
- I am doing more damage now with a relatively similar level of durability (thanks guys). About 300k
now, but it's difficult to see how that can hit higher. Or there's something I'm not understanding
about PoB.
- I don't have mana leech on passive tree anymore so it is now mandatory to have that on my gloves or
something. I still haven't added any other Jewels except Conqueror's Efficiency to the slots so more
stats to be had there.
- My hit chance is at 95% atm, but I can assume it'll hot 100% with a bit more accuracy. I can spend 1
point for a mastery to hit 99% so it really shouldn't be any huge effort.
- Rings also have 2 crafts of non-channeling mana reduction. Still feeling that reservation hit.
- Spell Suppression values are currently +12% on the tree after the update (56%).
- I tried to swap in Paradoxica, but somehow it's less damage than the default PoB sword. Also it costs
like several Exs, I'm disqualifying it from league-start considerations. Same deal with Aul's Uprising.
- There's also an incomplete tree for Cleave Berserker in the PoB. I feel like the skill gems and build
priorities would look too different, so I discontinued that attempt. See if y'all want to have a crack at
it.
- I'm still doing Brutality pdps. I tried to plug in the fire conversion stuff but the numbers come up
lower. Either I did it wrong or it's legit not better, at least for Slayer. Feel free to fact check.
- I don't know how to leverage Impale very well. I kind of understand how that mechanic functions but
I'm too ignorant on it's actual output potential to properly leverage it. It's still 1 mastery point away
from 20% chance to Impale though, so there's that.
- I didn't go into the rage direction. I saw that Bear's Girdle was a Harvest boss exclusive drop. I have
like 1.2k hours in this game and I still haven't seen a Harvest boss. So I'm disqualifying that like I did
with Paradoxica and Aul's.
Also I am not creative enough to come up with super good Cleave puns. I failed you Zeelthor; this character won't be 69% better :(
