Omni Wild Strike Slayer

Hey guys, so I'm the type of person that usually follows build guides and I'm not really too great at making builds. With that being said, I dropped an apothecary and decided to try my hand at a skill that I usually can't get to work because I don't usually have this much currency.. This is sort of a showcase, but I also don't think this is a well made build because I'm not used to making trees from scratch and I'm sure there are a bunch of things I have done wrong. I have also never used Omni before so I'm not too familiar with the trees besides looking around and getting ideas from what I could find. Any critiques are welcome!

Note I am dumb and did the Mesa after attempting feared and failing. So I had no auras on for the first portion lol. I know the no experience on the bar meme, but I did this after trying the feared and other bosses. I was at like 40% to 99, but didn't want to keep pushing. And my PC can't handle POE and recording. I usually don't lag when I play without recording.

I also don't usually clear Mesa like that, but I just wanted to show 1 harvest plot and the boss really. The rest pretty much plays itself.

TLDR:

SHOULD YOU PLAY THIS? - PROBABLY NOT, BUT I LIKED IT

Wild strike is fun, I spent a decent amount on this build probably like 50-70 div, great at mapping and not great at bossing. It has a lot of damage, but I'm not good enough to boss on a melee character that can't get hit. I probably made a lot of mistakes as this is kind of my first fully fleshed out build that I've tried POBing from scratch. Probably too squishy, but I leveled to 95 solo with little issues only dying when being dumb and not paying attention. Then 95-98 fiveways, and did get half way to 99 solo again, but wanted to try bosses. Just too squishy for other content really.

​

So now lets get into the build:

1. Offense

If you think I checked anything in POB that I shouldn't have just let me know, I'm not the best with it.

-About 10 million dps with no flasks clicked and I think a correctly configured POB. This is higher when mapping cause of flasks being up, onslaught on kill boots, higher rage than POB after the first 10 seconds of map, Slayer bonuses on kill.

-With all flasks up, berserk and vaal ancestral warchief, we have about 21 million DPS

-I honestly don't know the best supports for wild strike, close combat seems to be better single target in some cases, but it doesn't increase the secondary effect at all so I don't use it.

2. Defense

Now I think I failed here even though I technically have a decent amount of layers.

- Only 4.4k life, which is fine honestly while mapping, but wish I had more.

-26.6k armour with flasks (this is meh)

- Spell suppress cap

- 100% ailment avoidance with Stormshroud

- 23 fortify stacks

- Sap

-I'm pretty sure my flasks are trash, I just don't know the best way to have them set up.

- Current POB has 2% chaos res, but I have a different shield that is basically the same as the current that has 35% chaos res instead of spell suppress. You just need to take 3 nodes of suppress instead of damage on the tree if that's how you'd rather do it. But I feel fine in most content with at least having positive chaos res.

-Enduring cry (I don't know if this is worth it though) saves me sometimes

The big issue here is that I'm using Replica Abyssus cause its damage is too enticing for me, so I don't think this build is too great defensively honestly especially after playing an actual good build like Rue's CF champ.

3. Things to note

- I used Overwhelm ascendancy instead of Endless Hunger until I got SOS and enough crit without it.

- I believe chance to avoid elemental ailments does stack with chance to avoid shock, which I didn't realize when messing around with Stormshroud. So I went through the trouble of orb of conflicting the chance to avoid shock on my boots to the highest tier, which cost a lot due to being very unlucky. I think you can get it in different ways too, but that's how I did it. Along with a mediocre 50% chance to avoid shock abyss jewel. I also may be giving up way too much to use this jewel, but I wanted to give it a go.

- Using Anger cause of my watchers eye, but it can done with other auras if the watchers eye is different.

- Intimidate comes from lethal pride.

- I have a +1 strike relic for mapping and a flat added lightning damage relic for bossing. There are probably better bossing ones, but it's the only relic that actually increases my dps.

- For bossing I switch the strike mastery for the sword frenzy charge mastery.

- It can technically do ele reflect with awakened ele damage, just don't leap slam on anything....

4. Content completed

I am a bad player and I've really never done the complete end game even after 2k hours. I probably could if I used a meta bossing build, but I've never really bothered because I like to try weird stuff and make a bunch of characters each league. With that being said

- This build does all standard bosses very easily imo, you will need to dodge some stuff though.

- I have done all invitations except the 1 feared I tried (first feared attempt ever) I failed. Managed to kill 3/5 but I am bad at dodging and you get 1 tapped by pretty much everything in there. Someone who's good probably could do it as the dps was definitely adequate.

- Simulacrum (first simu attempt ever) - Wave 23. Need more everything for this I think. Mostly defense though.

-Ubers none. Not without several tweaks to defense, which I assume would be very expensive I tried my first ever uber eater and uber exarch without any prep really except switching in a topaz/ruby. I did manage to get them to about 50% hp, but you need to dodge everything and melee uptime is terrible. Maybe someone good at the game could do it though.

The build really is made for mapping mostly which is where it does its job pretty well. It isn't the fastest, but I leveled to 95 pretty comfortably. I died a few times to not paying attention, but pretty rarely as everything dies so fast.

I have mostly farmed harvest with it because it is imo the most braindead way to make currency right now and I need braindead strategies. It destroys pretty much all of the mobs in my harvests before they move much, but I am not a super juicer at all.

5. Budget

Umm no idea. I spent a lot on this build. Probably like 50-70 divines? I suck at crafting, only thing really self made was one of my rings, and I threw like 10 essences at it and hit something ok and called it a day.

This is also the first time I ever bought awakened multistrike, but I didn't buy it until after hitting 95 so haven't really noticed much of a difference as maps were pretty much a breeze anyway.

This is definitely the most I've ever spent on a build and I'm happy with it because it basically did everything I expected it to and it's fun to play. But it definitely wasn't cheap to put together.
