PoE Wind Dancer, Trap builds

Basically the cookie cutter uniques in the title to leverage damage, spectral throw/spectral helix multi hit mechanic to scale damage (PoB is configured for single hit, should be x4 for spectral throw and like x2.5 for spectral helix). Wind Ward + Wind Dancer for defenses, although the build is by no means a defensive powerhouse, just 95% evade if hit recently and some basic mitigation. I put starter in many quotation marks because heatshiver/yoke and lethal pride can be kinda expensive so I dont wanna advertise it as a full blo

Greetings fellow Exiles, Over the last two weeks, I noticed quite a few people having trouble building proper defenses on their characters (especially on league start). Many players were seeking out advice or wanted to switch their build or reroll into a tankier one, due to the league mechanic and the current state of the game. We also got a great influx of new players who play PoE for the first time this league, which are feeling a bit overwhelmed in early maps since PoE is quite brutal and unforgiving compared to other ARGPs on the market. Also, there is this sentiment going around in the

Made a quick delve mockup to see whether blood of summer or fragment of eternity is better for a frenzy stacker, turns out its not even close (turns out nighblade is pretty decent kek)! Thought I'd share my PoB mockup since it seems pretty decent. Between 50/50 block and capped suppression you shouldnt really be in danger of dying unless you fuck up (yes tanking a big phys slam is a fuckup). 75% endurance charge on block chance should keep you topped on endurance charges and give a pretty massive 3 endurance charge immortal call w

Total Cost = 4662 chaos or 28 divines 12 Blade Trap: Blade Trap Rotates 4 times Enchant +1 Dual Wield +1 Hits twice per rotation = (4+1+1) x 2 = 12 80% more damage for Swift Assembly

This is a build I'm planning to league start. It probably does and will suck. But I'd be happy for feedback on it anyway. Maybe there are other players like me who don't assume that all these fancy things people put on builds are attainable and want a no-budget ssf build, or this build may just be useful input to someone somehow. It's got 100% spell supp, 13k max phys hit, 90% evasion, and 110k dps. This is without shock, onslaught or power charges (though I am doing shock, onslaught and assassins mark on hit). It uses smoke

average hit x (3.2 (cluster) or 1.8 (swift assembly)) x (1/trap throw rate) x of explosions I believe this is how to calculate explosive trap damage. I might be underestimating or overestimating the dps here. 149657 1.8 (1/0.27) 11 = 10,974,846 million dps. Bottled faith puts dps to about 18 million. Ignore other flasks, they're for if you have a mageblood. Polymath applied in config, 9 3 for 27% more damage. Polymath gets most value from going hybrid, to double up on recovery. Can you squeeze in a Glorious Vanity on Doryani for the huge ES

I've tried to explore alternate defensive setups for a couple of archetypes and this is what I've came up with for Pure Evasion Characters. I've chosen Deadeye on purpose because its quite a bit easier to get a lot of Evasion on Raider. This build uses the lowest tier of the Body Armour Flask per 3 sec Implicit and the utility flask charges gained mastery to permanently maintain 5 flasks (Jade Flask has only 92% uptime so a good chunk of a second downtime sadly). Again we Convert around 55% of our phys Damage taken to Elemental

This is my helix raider pob that I made as a potential league starter. Uses Replica Mistwall, Acrobatics, and Wind Dancer (Ghost Shrouds too, but those are just a small bonus). Don't know how else I could improve it while keeping it at a league start budget. POB:

Okay so this build kind of originated off of one of my favorite unique swords Dreadbeak. The idea is to boost base damage with bloodthirst and reserve exactly or slightly above 50% of life for permanent low life. Now you may say, but adrenaline can be abused so easily if you just reserve at 51%, and I'll say 6 auras/buffs with very good aura effect. Instead of creating a gigantic block of text I'll try to note all the advantages with formatting I'm not used to. Exactly or close to 50% reservation using a herald of purity and a high level vita
