The Damage Mitigator ~ Transcendence SA Pathfinder Build Guide ~ Heist PoE 3.12

Transcendence is an extremely powerful keystone that I believe has been left relatively untouched and unloved. I made this build hoping to find out how effective it really was in a practical use case and was more than satisfied with the results. I'd highly recommend it as one of the strongest defensive keystones in the game by a good margin IF you can either get high %phys reduction or convert most your phys to a different damage type. I believe this limited use case left it underutilized but I believe there are probably quite a few builds that could tag this into there builds with a bit of tweaking and it would be well worth the effort.

Leveling for this build is pretty much just storm cloud + vaal rain of arrows and flat ele stacking till level 28 at which point I unspecced out of ele crit bow nodes and switched into full poison toxic rain and switched into deaths harp then deaths opus and lastly darkscorn.

Great Examples of Others Making Use of Transcendance: ~Shoutout for lagbro, he made a build based around transcendence keystone and pathfinder last league with a slightly different approach but a good watch if you want to see his take on transcendence keystone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbawHoPqc4M&t=
