PoE Pillar of the Caged God, Melee builds

Current POB: Hey folks, hope everything is swell with your league thus far. I have been wanting to create a strength stacking build for a while now. I saw that Boneshatter Juggernaut were somewhat favorable so I pulled one together and farmed up towards maps. However, I haven't played a melee build (that's not Cast on Crit) in a while so things feels incredibly stubby. I feel stubby. Everything I do feels very "locked" into place. Perhaps I don't have enough movement/attack speed, I'm exactly sure. Maybe it has to do with the skill itself. My current list of co

Most expensive item was the 4ex watchers eye. Most gear is crafted with strength or chaos essences. I crafted the body armor by combining astral plates with horror essence with other elder armors that had good mods, but silver flask instead of quicksilver works just fine. Life + enhance gloves were 1.5ex and then used eldritch chaos to reroll the suffixes. The enhance is needed to get rage from vengeance and more elemental reduction from immortal call. Fortify, ele flasks, pantheon + jugg ascendancy for reduced damage and 77-78 m

So with the new call of the Void unique ring from lightee, i felt like theorycrafting something memeish. Sadly the only idea i had so far was a Boneshatter fire conversion Chieftain, with call of the void and winterweave to use the selfchill effect. The build is going for a strength stacking kinda approach but, with the two ring slots locked, it doesnt really work out. The build can reach 6 mil sirius dps, at least the way i build it, and under the condition that you can actually get 50 Trauma stacks on him (with 10 Trauma stacks you get around 2 mil dps). currently i have mostly unique item

Hi, so I'm pretty new to build making and decided I would finally try and create my own build. Overall I love tanky builds that can do respectable damage doesn't need to be massive. I love the pillar of the caged god and the way some champions have been using perseverance to scale there armor/evasion has inspired me to make a tanky boy build. The build I created I tried to somewhat simulate a league start, I know there's a few uniques I won't have access to day 1 probably in the build and especially the charisma anoint I understand. I probably would drop the purity of elements aura until I was

So I've always been interested in playing boneshatter since the skill got released but being a softcore player that likes to go fast and use all the portals I am allowed to use I always put that idea to the side. But the new skill really made me wanted to try it since it was a way to play without crit for once and also try both JUGG and boneshatter. &x200B; I am really not used to tanky builds so I suppose there is a lot to do/change but for now this is what I've got. almost 8k hp (reduced to 4k due to PB) and almost

POB: Have gotten a few requests for a mapping showcase so here it is. Exp is at 0% cuz I just dinged 97 (then respecced for more damage and less life, I don't plan to level above 97) Clear is coming from 4 x strike targets with a pretty big AOE on the boneshatter pulses. I don't have explode or prolif. It's just hits. Angel kill is at 2:59. It's a little easy to miss.

Sorry! I went to sleep and didn't expect this to blow up. POB: I've set trauma to 5 (not the max stacks of 15) and power charges to 2 (instead of 4) which are more reasonable expectations for bossing.

Chimera (same but with sound): Minotaur: Headline: 9+k life, 1 Boneshatter DPS on poe.ninja. Managed to upgrade a few more pieces and cleared Feared/Maven (caveat: not smoothly since melee) from my last update on min-maxing PotCG Boneshatter Jugg. Pros: Big bonks without warcry pianoing, easy to play. Strength scales both damage and s

Have been getting a few whispers about this so sharing my current attempt to push PotCG BS as far as it can go. Currently at lvl 95 with 9+k life, 1.6+k str, and around 7-9M conservative dps. The clear is great and I've been doing some Tropical Island Zana Delirium farming quite smoothly with it. Bossing is mediocre as it's still a melee strike skill but at least the tankiness allows for some mistakes if you are a bad mechanic player like me. Boneshatter really needs some investment in stun duration to feel good so fra

I have been working on this build for the most part of the day testing some different setups for a pillar based bone shatter build. In the end a very simple version I decided was the best. Further work can be done to add in bloodthirst with much higher budget. ------------------------------- I have decided to not focus on stacking as much stun as possible so the build is hoping that the base radius is generous. But with a couple of passive changes more stun nodes can be taken. ------------------------------- With any strike skill, attack speed is key to make it feel good, therefor we dip

So as a ongoing project, my STR stacking zerker is now with 9.8k life and 1770 STR, About 1.4m DMG per regular Ground Slam and about 4.1m with Vaal version. Max DMG should be around 20m with the last strike from Seimic+Intimidating Warcry+ Berserker. Though the build could hit way harder using critical since my current mult is 333% but at the moment i lack a reliable way to generate power charges even though i was messing around with CoC and assassins mark. 30% crit chance now, would go to 50% with 4 power charges Bottled faith AND charges would put me around 70% crit change but i dont ha

Hi all! I've been tinkering with the idea of a Vaal Ground Slam build -- as I'm sure many of you have been -- and I put together my take ( on a Juggernaut variant to use as my second character this league. I often run into the issue of league starting on a character that is great at clearing, but trash at bossing. I wanted to put together a boss killer that required minimal investment to compliment my league start (And wasn't mines -- RSI just doesn't sound all that appealing to me) and this is what I landed on. There are three potentially expensive components of
