PoE Ranger, SSF, Spell builds

So, I basically exclusively play self-made builds that are usually at least somewhat off-meta. Those builds vary widely in their success and often end up failing. However, every once in a while an idea works out. This is looking to be one of those ideas. Non-Reaper bleed minions have been a bit of a "white whale" of mine. I've probably crammed out dozens of PoBs with good enough damage numbers, but they mostly just ended up feeling pretty bad in real gameplay. This one felt pretty nice however. I present to you: Frenzy Stacking - Charge Sharing - Rupture - Crit - Bleed - Herald of Agony -

I'm thinking about doing Toxic Rain, but I can see myself getting frustrated by the damage delay, so I was looking into Caustic Arrow as an alternative. Last league everyone was playing the transfigured version with the poison tincture, but since the tincture is gone it seems to be more complicated to play. Ive seen ben play the regular version ( but it's ben and I'm not sure if I can achieve this aswell. Anyone got experience with caustic arrow and how good it will be in 3.24?

If you like the detached mirage archer playstyle, take Occupying Force instead of Farshot in your 2nd lab and grab point blank while you're at it. The playstyle will be different but the damage will be similar. Do not take ricochet until you have enough power coming from your gear. Make sure you don't have any source of pierce when you go for ricochet. Flasks are really strong on this build and they are cheap to roll with alterations. We invest multiple points in the passive tree to improve their uptime and effectiveness; Do not let those points be wasted on some crappy rolled flasks. Rol

Rage Hold: Just wanted to share the thing I managed to make with literally my last jewellery recombinator and a crusader's orb slam. It took a total of 15 divines for perfect rolls (1 for prefixes, 14 for suffixes) Finally got something worth using the mirror I found a year ago! And yes caster catalyst is around ~1% more dmg than crit catalyst for the planned build (not a completely ready plan yet but quite close) Hot take: SSF STD is the best dad gamer league

IMPORTANT FOR HARDCORE: Pick "Speaker of the Dead" on the tree and never run "map boss is possessed" on your maps. There's a ghost that disables your flasks and you don't want to meet that on this build, especially if you cap your resists using flasks. IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE: For the endgame setup you want BOTH Taste of Hate AND Lightning Coil. If you don't have that yet make sure to swap both your skillset and gearset to the pre-coil versions. 3.23 CHANGES < The biggest change from 3.23 is that the 10% AoE from Toxic Rain quality got replaced by d

Pob, Profile The build is literally zdps. Utilizes max block, max evade, max dodge, double blasphemy curses with hinder, high mobility, skellie totem for distraction. All the gear is crafted by Rog and with essenses. The most crucial piece would be the shield with extra chance to block both spell and attack damage. At start you just rush towards enemy totems and dance around. Very fun. I lost like 2 final matches and even then to titanic shells The build has quite some of minmaxing pot

Hey all - first time creating my own build, wondering if anyone has any helpful suggestions to make it better! Original idea for the build comes from Zlayge's HCSSF build, which dips down to the bottom-left of the passive tree to get more armor and health and stuff, as well as balance out the stats for Leadership's Price. Apparently guys have done HC Ubers with that set-up, but since I'm playing soft-core trade, I wanted to see what I could come up with sticking to the right side of the tree with the goal of using the character as a league-starter, with potential to scale up to whatever. So

On ssf standard. Wondering if i should create a build around both of these or drop one. Most people I saw on ninja were only running one or the other. If I run both i am thinking about putting an aura set up in staff for lvl 7 enlighten. With both I hit dot cap rather easily, but I might struggle with defences a bit. I want this to be a bosser. So mainly wondering how i fit in more defence. Main things i can think of is purity watchers eye and progenesis. POB (Just something I threw together quickly, needs a few more things) &x200B;

Been trying to build a Storm Brand Raider for HCSSF because of the following synergies: - Onslaught gives MS and damage - Frenzy Charges double dip with More Damage and Cast Speed - Easy acces to Spell Suppression & Elemental Ailment Avoidance - Can path through Armour and Evasion nodes on my way to the Brand Nodes - Can path to a lot of Mana Reservation Efficiency However I seem to hit a ceiling in both damage and survivability. Especially Damage. I'm looking for a secondary skill that could boost single target, but I don't see it. Tried Lightning Spire

I'm not sure what I am doing here. But I have some thoughts: Gearing: - This is aimed at an SSF leaguestart. I am sure that you could pick up some very useful uniques in trade that would help numbers go BRR (ie Mings Heart, Covenant, Asenath's Gentle Touch). - I literally yoinked all the gear from people who built this on Occultist and Trickster on POE Ninja. Also I straight up copied items with very few changes from Ziz's TR Pathfinder because I wanted Armour/Evasion bases and was too lazy - I think I can get Dark Temptation cards from Delve chests to farm up an Obliteration

pob : This is a theoretical build specced towards non juiced non uber uber content and being a safe, comfy, fast map clearer. It can probably do all the normal content fine, except maybe Sirus will be slow because of the arena size and how spark DPS works. All the gear used is around the level of near late game SSF and can reach higher DPSwith more minmaxing of gear. However, I would not recommend starting this because it won't become fully online until some vital pieces of gear that deal with mana issues. Defensive Features: Capped Evasion with Wind Dancer

For anyone who wants a more hipster build that isn't DD, seismic, EA, RF, or any of the other really strong meta builds but also doesn't want some straight garbage, I present to you my 3.18 HCSSF league start. This build is designed for the HCSSF environment. I have no idea how it is in SC trade. Probably worse because it's not as zoomy and has too much invested in defenses. Pros: \-Very easy to achieve high single target DPS \-No uniques needed for boss kills \-Can clear maps from extremely long range \-Excels in narrow corridor type maps \-Fairly tanky - runs determination,

Quick Showcase: Gear, Tree, Minotaur map Main POB: Pob of the test run: I've been wanting to move to SSFHC and complete all the content with my own build. I love casting spells, but it's always a struggle league starting them due to how hard it is to obtain cast speed on gear. So I looked into trappers/miners. Icespear deadeye miner turned out pretty good. The video is with pretty much bare minimum gear. I've been busy with work, so I couldn't go hard in farming for harvest and essences. But t

Hi to one of my favourite subs! I was just toying around in POB when I looked through all projectile skill changes, including arrow skills and spells. I always liked the sniper's mark interaction with projectiles and also remembered Mathil building some Deadeye totem Ice Spear char a while back. I threw a quick tree together with absolute barebone config and no gear, and the initial damage seems already quite insane when I think about gear scaling? This already covers some defensive auras (grace+defiance banner), wind dancer, gho
