Path of Exile 3.28 Ward Stack Gladiator Static Strike - Update 2

Hey guys, here is the update to the ward stacker. It is by FAR much better now.

I got tired of how shit feeling ambush is on auto-cast, and i just genuinely don't like the crutch that ambush is regardless. SO, here is the non-ambush version. This is much more optimized and feels about 2-3x more damage overall.

Pay attention to attributes on gear as this is extremely pressed for dex and int. I have prismatic tincture in the build, but honestly I rarely remember to press it. I still should probably do a new pass on flasks.

I haven't tested how important the life and mana leech nodes are. I just assumed I should have them so there they are. I'm still unsure about optimal cluster jewel setup, but this current one feels okay.

You don't need the giga watchers eye, you can probably replace that for a well rolled rare jewel with a lot of crit multi I could probably craft better gear with chaos resistance, but I just don't want to. But resistances are basically not an issue with purity of elements.

Importantly for me, was saving passive points on the tree by getting spell implicit azadi and 2x spell block nodes on heroic tragedy. You do not need a super expensive jewel (for now lol). Mine cost 4div. Just search around for a 2-3 block jewel with a good amount of ward. Mine gives me power charges, which synergizes very well to drop ambush. I'm sure there is still more room for optimization, and I may post another update to this.

The only thing that damages me is the siphoner rares, but 90% of the time you're fine. I just wouldn't stand in them.

anyways, TLDR, pob: https://pobb.in/R3gi7iNLKHio
