PoE Hardcore, SSF builds

My SSFHC build, can anyone take a look and advice on any improvements, especially on how to make it tankier. The custom config is for punishment curse and the basic AG setup (Leer cast / dying breathe etc.) Im aware i miss alot of easy jewel nodes for ghastly jewels, and will spec those as i get good ghastlys or a cluster setup.

WARNING: THIS BUILD IS MOST LIKELY BAIT but I'm stupid so I'm trying it, if you want good Heatshiver melee then Frost Blades Trickster is probably what you actually want. SC TRADE WARNING: I am 100% six portal pilled and this is not hc viable and probably not ssf friendly either It should be obvious to everyone, but beyond wild strike being in a bad spot for scaling it's in a worse spot to level with. I will be suffering because I like leveling with the skill I want to run. I'll be maybe leveling frost blades until wild strike feels competent, no I will not test this before league start. W

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

LEVELING -------------------------------------------------------- Marauder leveling is pain. Clear is fine before the boneshatter swap, single target sucks. After you make the swap to boneshatter it's smooth. 1-12 main links: ground slam - ruthless. There isn't really a good third link. You can consider muling momentum from ranger but if you're going to mule you might as well mule splitting steel because it's better. Alternatively - mule splitting steel - chance to bleed from duelist and level with splitting steel - chance to bleed - maim. This is mo

General Build Notes Overview This build is a work in progress to create a SSF viable / League Start viable build that fits my preferred playstyle. I wanted to have access to Eldritch Battery and have a focus on using ballistas to stack poison. I wanted the build to not be tied to the current league mechanic and to not be reliant on specific unique items. I would eventually l

I'd like to introduce a tanky alternative to the traditional TS Deadeye.As with deadeye, you don't want to start TS, this applies to Champion as well. You start off with LA/IS/Galvanic/... or RoA for phys then switch when you think TS won't suck (+2 arrows bare minimum, likely even later). This isn't a full guide, just PoBs with variations of skilltrees/gems, so if you need handholding this isn't the place. The +2 proj on the tree prompted the builds, as I previously enjoyed a phys Impale champion back in... I honestly don't even remember, the character is gone too, so... Disclaimer: Built

8.2M DPS using only defensive auras, if you're SC and want to run wrath that bumps you up to 12M. Not a PoB warrior so scuffed items for the most part, but all relevant gear is easily obtainable. Two uniques I include are target farmable and day 2-3 gear max. Definitely NOT min-maxed. Based on my testing with Spectral Throw in game, after the buffs each should hit 5-8 times. I put it at 6 for the purposes of this pob.
