[POE 3.23] Bonershatter Juggernaut Affliction League Starter Guide - Delve and Blight With Ease!

A big shoutout to Mario99989 for all the help with this POB and league start. He really did a lot of work to help get us rolling in prep to make the swap to delve! Some of you might know him from Ancestor league: https://poe.ninja/builds/ancestor/character/Mario9898/MarioDelveAncestor?i=0&search=class%3DJuggernaut%26type%3Ddepthsolo&time-machine=week-6 He was the gentlemen who was climbing the delve ladder as boneshatter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: I do very little damage how do I fix this? A: Make sure you upgrade your weapon every act, you want to stick with Axes as that is the plan. To make an axe do the following vendor recipie: 2 Handed Axe Blacksmith Wetstone Magic or Rare Rustic Sash ***Note rare rustic sash is for level 20+*** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: How do I get rings for Mervail if they dont fall A: There is a recipie for Sapphire Rings it is as follows: 1 Iron Ring 1 Blue Gem ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Do I need to take the elemental resistance nodes early? A: No, take them if you need them. If you can craft res on your gear or fix your gear for act 6+ you shouldnt really need them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: How do I make an early Axe before I find a fractured base? A: If you dont want to use the Kitava's Feast anymore you can grab a Despot Axe and just hit it with Deafening Essence of Contempt until you hit attack speed. Then you can craft on %Physical or % Hybrid Physical. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: How do I make an axe similiar to what you have in your POB in the mid/end game A: The Axe is made with essence of contempt ideally the process for crafting the axe the cheapest way possible goes as follows: 1) Obtain an axe preferable Despot or better (heist axe bases pending) with a high rolled attack speed fracture. 2) Obtain Deafening Essence of contempt preferably 3) Use essence of contempt until you hit either Hybrid Physical Damage Tier 3 or % Physical Tier 2 4) If you hit Hybrid Tier 3 Phys or better craft on % Physical damage from Jun Boom Axe if you have questions axe crafting feel free to ask! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: I hate crafting what are some other good Axe options I can start with A: Some people have said Sinvicta is really good , my friend Mario who helped create this guide said to use Kitava's Feast to start until you can afford a good axe. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: I see you swapped to a 1 hander, when should I do that? A: If you are planning to delve like I am wait until you have the gear, 2 handed Boneshatter will get you deep into the mines and make you currency You will not need to swap early. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: I keep killing myself with Boneshatter , how do I stop this A: You really need to fix your Armour while using boneshatter, since it is all Physical damage increase the amount of armour you have and Physical Damage converted to Elemental will help a lot with this. Ideally too if your pushing 30+ stacks and your damage is still good, it is ok to slow down on attacking so Boneshatter doesnt kill you until you upgrade gear ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Do you have a POB to swap to 1 hander for delve A: That is in the second video as that is not a League Starter strat! Check the youtube/twitch ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: How imporant is it for me to have proper flask setup A: Just like with any build the flask can be a make it or break it, the basic of the flask will really help you to mitigate damage. You really want to make sure you invest in your flask especially playing boneshatter as they are such a large defense layer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What Pantheons are we taking? A: Soul of the Lunaris for a Major and Soul of Garukhan for the minor. The minor we do so that we are immune to blind so that we never lose accuracy for Precise Technique. You can change the minor soul around as you get Blind Immunity from other source ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What unveils should I be searching for from Jun? A: You want to look for the following: Physical Damage Taken as Element (Helm and Chest) -mana cost to non channeling skills (Rings) % Physical damage and X (Weapons) Double Damage (Weapons) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Help , I have mana problems A: If you dont have the -non channeling ring crafts you can substitue mana with lifetap on everything until you can fix your problems. You can also use a mana flask until you get to the mana leech node. You can also goto the mana leech node early. The non-channeling craft will really fix a lot of your problems.
