Lazy Susie: Explosive Warcry Scion Build (Endgame viable)

Hi, my name is Baumi and this is my build.

It is centered around Corrupting Cry and Cloak of Flame. It also explodes corpses. It can tank porcupines, on-death explosions, detonating corpses, Shaper beam and so on. It's not a super tank, but it was put together fairly cheaply and I managed to take it to Shaper.

After a few gear upgrades, I also finished off Uber Atziri, among a few others. My next target is Uber Elder, for one, though I only get to play here and there, hence why I haven't completed that task yet. Stay tuned, I guess.

My character is currently level 96 and I have accumulated a total of 3 deaths so far (all my own fault), read down below (*); 2 of those happened during very early mapping when I hadn't fixed my gear yet.

I made a build thread you can check out here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3709173

For defense, it uses Immortal Call + 3 Endurance Charges, Debilitate, Block, 90% max res, high Life + high Life Regen, Purity of Elements, damage shift and Chill.

For offense, it uses Vulnerability, Pride, Shock and Taunt.

Note: I currently am not able to use Skitterbots because it requires the helmet corruption (and nobody is online).

It scales mostly Physical Damage, with some Minion Damage + Spiritual Aid, because there's nothing else that really scales the Corrupting Cry damage (it's generic Physical DoT), and at the same time it scales the corpse explosions.

I currently have around 1M DPS, which is enough to tackle endgame, though one could build this for double that, as shown in the theoretical PoB.

(I do not purposely hide things - just want to make that clear.)

PoBs:

• PoB (current, lvl 96, some random gear): https://pobb.in/DLiwFdrLSSZ4
• PoB (theory-crafted, lvl 100, expensive gear): https://pobb.in/D4sqXixjhoGH

(*) Death Log:

• Death #1: Pack of buffed Chaos spiders with extra Chaos Damage; -60% Chaos Resistance at the time
• Death #2: Cornered by Lightning Totems on buffed Red Beast; cannot be blocked (?), or maybe it's a spell, and I didn't have Spell Block at the time
• Death #3: T16 Abyss rare (Bone Spikes), Poison map, Phys Reflect -> killed myself with Reap when I got poisoned by its shotgun ability (oops)

For context: I was using Reap for a while, mainly to apply the Curse and for a little extra damage when the scaling wasn't quite there yet.

I think it's worth checking out, though I should warn you that the early game kinda sucks until you get higher gem levels and better gear. I make no secret of this. It's also the main reason why it's a tough recommend. Corrupting Cry relies heavily on levels. There just isn't a lot of scaling you can do without Cluster Jewels. This build wasn't built for damage anyway and I personally do not like to build around Cluster Jewels.

I hope you like it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for checking out my build!
