I posted this build a week or two ago, but I have made some improvements. I tried to record some video this time which is something Ive never done, but geforce kept crashing PoE so still no vids. Sorry. I made a +2 plus amulet and warlord slammed it. Then reforged influence until i hit determination rmr or pride rmr. I hit determination rmr on first reforge. I bought an iron reflexes impossible escape and annointed sovereignty. This lets me keep panopticon and fit determination into build. I had to drop CWDT from molten shell to put determination in, but more control over when you need i

I wanted to see how much damage I could get out of resolute technique and shield crush. I totally forgot about invocations until last night and realized I could put precise technique on my shitty cold resistance relic. I swapped a bottle faith in and went from 30 mil to 45 mil. This pob has my old shield in it as well which is more reasonable to get. Synth colossal shield bases arent common. This drops dps to 38 mil with a 2600 def shield. Everything was completely self crafted except amulet. I bought a +2 plus and reforged chaos a couple time to cap my chaos resistance. I lost about 1

Im tinkering with my PoB and noticing some inconsistencies. I have attack speed on 3 flasks but PoB only show one flask with attack speed in attack speed calculation. Can I only have one flask with attack speed? I also have 2% increased attack and cast speed with physical skills nodes on my clusters. PoB is not increasing my shield crush attack speed from these nodes. Shield has the physical tag. Am i misunderstanding something? PoB in question :

Hello and happy holidays! I've been spending some of my downtime this holiday season theorycrafting a super tanky pathfinder build, described in my initial post here. As a quick tl;dr, basically the build abuses Loreweave + Transcendence + the new Eternal Damnation unique as well as full phys taken as elemental to get nutty mitigation numbers. We leverage flask effectiveness and uptime to get perma sustain on Taste of Hate to achieve this. Without further ado, here are some POBs (all poison builds bc

Disclaimer The post is a guideline not a guide, feel free to experiment with your own ideas to fit into the build. I have been trying to form in a HC environment, I personally play HC trade outside of events like gauntlet. The guideline will not make you inherently love playing absolution style gameplay, some people hate it just like traps, totems and other minions. These guidelines will be for mostly experienced players, and will contain quite a bit of information.

Hi All, Inspired by Phreak's spreadsheet breakdown today, I decided to look into a Shield Crush Glad. I looked at POB Ninja's first week of gladiator builds and put a few ideas together and optimized the tree a bit to get the following result: I'll probably be league starting this until I know what the best build is for Sanctum farming. This is a fairly standard Crit Glad build that should crush maps and have enough dps to get through t16s and the first set of bosses comfortably. Why Glad over Slayer? Glad has QOL(10% less damag

So this is not a build showcase, it's a work in progress, I'm looking for feedback on how to make the character more powerful without heavy investment - I'm a casual player so I can sink a few more divines in at most. Basically the idea is to do the Snakebite/Frenzy stacking thing, but go crit poison because Emperor's Vigilance, Seething Fury give a ton of extra crit multi, kind of like the Nightblade poison builds. I'm also getting a bunch of crit chance from self-blind with Second Sight Keystone, good synergy because you don't need a high dps weapon since your shield is doing all your damage

After Nemesis mods kicked my first build around to much I looked into a more defensive type of build. My idea was to build around the Transcendence keystone and stacking armour. What catched my eye was the 3.19 newly buffed Lightning Coil (50% phys to lightning). It is a perfect fit for the build since you want to convert 100% physical damage from hits to elemental. I found a single profile that went with the idea and had some interesting items: Replica Dreamfather, Formless Inferno and Emperor's Vigilance. The ascendancy was Pathfinder for permanent flask uptime. We stack armour and fire

In ARPGS, I've always enjoyed the "high mitigation, high recovery, low HP" style since I first played a Shillien knight in Lineage 2. In PoE however, it seems kind of hard to replicate since most life recovery is scaled off your total life (HP, most sources of regen). With the changes to Immortal Flesh, and a few things that make shield crush armorstacking a lot more interesting, I'm thinking of trying my luck with an archetype that I haven't played with yet, armorstacker jugg, leveraging high phys mitigation to trigger high HP and ES regen, and trying to abuse

Wanted to see how good the new emperors can be utilized converting it to cold with new hrimsorrow and scaling crit with inquisitor and seething fury. This is my take: Note: Definetely do not recommend using this as a starter, while you definetely not need much of the insane gear im using here the uniques it uses will definetely be insanely expensive early on in the league. Also if you have any feedback i would like to hear it, last time i played a shield build was in expedition so especially the tree is kinda jank

So with the new League coming i made a Shield Crush Poison Champion Theory craft. I havent compared it yet to Impale Shield Crush, but the Poison version looks good on paper. Especially with the changes to Obliteration and Mings(for Softcore), the build should have pretty good clear and some potentially good single target damage. The gear i used in the Pob should be pretty "cheap", or farmable in SSF. Its primarly Resist, Life and some Spell Suppress. The Idea was, since Seismic Trap is gone as a Budget Option, and Melee staying kinda untouched, that Shield Crush looks pretty good for easy P
I started building a new league starter (hopefully no balance changes to SC) and think that I have a pretty refined idea for budget Shield Crush utilizing some cheap uniques. Watchers Eye (Single Mod) is really the only item that may be expensive to work towards as a goal in the first week, but impale is pretty non-meta right now. Overall nothing too crazy or innovative but think its worthy of a league start. POB has no cluster, gem quality, flasks, Eldritch mods, or berserk buff. Amazing shields are pretty cheap or easy to craft with Rog Should be able to hit 5 Mil DPS by end of week 1 or

Firstly, the PoB - About the PoB - When initially brought up, the PoB will show a basic level 90 tree and have some fairly budgeted gear to emulate an early-mid range red map setup. The only truly expensive piece will be a Ryslatha's Coil, everything else is generic rare gear with a few needed stats as well as a mid range Crown of the Inward Eye, which might cost a bit in the first few days but will quickly fall in price as the league goes into next week. Also, the damage shown does not include both Warchief and Protector totems
