PoE Shock Nova, Lightning builds

Back at work again today, can't play. Over the weekend I spent a good portion of my money upgrading my manabond character from the previous post. Got mageblood, 3rat talisman, rare boots and some other upgrades. Went from 12k es to 16k es, 8m to 18m dps. Not shabby but not where I want to be just yet. I still haven't purchased the forbidden jewels or squire. That's definitely the next step for me. My plans for the future include getting a gg ring, the kalandra's mirror ring, the squire, and the forbidden jewels, which all but taps out my budget, about 360 div

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

Arcane surge on Assassin's mark is a placeholder for arcane surge coming from the cluster jewel. With Overcharge, Shock nova can shock for 62% a pinacle boss. The pen supports with vaal storm call are just here to simulate the "ignore monsters resistance". If the gem duration is too low to support a new use, maybe use a 24 charge soul ripper and rely on the 6 souls gained by 2% life dealt to unique instead.

Here is the current character. It's shock nova ignite elementalist: I also have kind of a"dream" POB that I came up while theorycrafting before actually making the character in game: The build works pretty simply, just map with shock nova by running into a pack or nearby and cast flammability + shock nova to ignite basically the whole pack. Clear supported by fire mastery explode and maven boots. For bosses I throw fire traps as well. I think I'm dying due to repetit

PoB: I'm currently trying to build around the new Saboteur Triggerbot changes and came up with a Bow-based CoC build. I wanted to try something outside of the usual Frostbolt / Ice Nova / Ice Spear variants, so I gave lightning a try with Arc + Voltaxic Burst and Shock Nova in Asenath's for BIG shock support. A few notes on the build: Built gear to be "Good, but could be better". Lots of places for optimization \~36M PoB DPS, but it probably floats more around 25M-30M DPS realistically given missed arrow procs, sub-optimal tr

So I was thinking of league starting as Righteous Fire. The new masteries makes leveling a breeze, but how realistic do you think it is to migrate to this after a week or two? Are these clusters really expensive? I'm a HC player who just farms red maps...so this seems pretty cool to me to be able to play that Auto Bomb style while remaining semi tanky. Thoughts?

This was my build for Sanctum, but reading through the patch notes I see no HUGE reason why this build shouldn't work well in 3.21 (RIP arcane surge, as well as regain mana after every 5th cast and 3% of mana as es masteries). This build focuses on a very spicy interaction that I'm almost certain has been used before, but I can't seem to find any builds using it on PoE ninja. In short, we get our mana costs as high as possible using archmage, and then we take 400% of that mana cost as physical damage with scold's bridle. The hit damage for this is going to be pretty high (6-8k) so we mitigate

Sharing my latest build and hoping someone will see some improvements that can be made. Galvanic field has some downsides: Low AOE and poor hit rate. We get around the AOE by slotting a Phantasmal GV into a Crest of Desire, and Scaling mana with Heirophant. This gives GV domes usually a couple of screens of area. The beams fire from the centre of the dome and dont go through walls or obsticles, so open maps work better. GV can fire 10 times per second but only hit the same enemy twice per second, and these cannot be sca

So I know assassin and elementalist are the go-to when it comes to autobombers, but looking at the hidden flesh/flame notable for Ranger, it seems like it would be awesome for a shock/freeze Autobomber. Has anyone tried something like this? Expedition's end would guarantee huge freezes. Either Annihilating Light or Crest of Desire (maybe both for double herald?) Could see it working on either raider or Pathfinder. Raider gets speed and elemental synergy. Pathfinder could get speed and possibly a boatload of crit from flasks. Going to try some

I have been testing out The Hidden Blade and I think there is a lot of hidden (hehe) potential with it, and I want to throw out what I've learnt and some ideas for theorycrafting. Firstly, I want to clarify a few things about Unseen Strike (which is the unique skill from the Hidden Blade), since the wiki has a few major inaccuracies. The wiki states that "If using 2 weapons, it will alternate between each weapon every time you gain phasing". This is wrong, Unseen Strike only ever uses the weapo

Crackling Lance inquisitor. Level 90. According to PoB I can reach 1 million DPS while standing still (because of Sigil of Power, Power Charges, Frenzy Charges and Endurance Charges). I want to boost DPS without needing to stay still too long cause the biggest reason of my deaths is not moving enough or not moving fast enough. I am doing tier 12-14 maps after chiseling and alching. The only movement speed I have is the 30% increased movement speed mod on my Ralakesh's impatience riveted boots. I wanna be able to still take some damage and increase my DPS and speed. I don't wanna use Doryani's

I would apreciate some comments on this cause i might be going a bit too ham on the aoe :)

Trying to build a Shock Nova AB Elementalist (I'm open for any other ascendancy recommendation tbh), added Lightning Conduit just to see damage and man is the difference apparent. Just wanted something easy and fun to farm maps at a relatively "fast" speed. , would love some pointers from anyone with a bigger brain than me lol
