PoE Perfect Agony, Melee builds

Hello, I have been playing Path of Exile for many years but today for the future league I would like to try to make my first own build. The new "Polymath" ascendancy point for the trickster gave me this desire. I theorycrafting a build using "Viper strike" and dual wielding. If my calculations are correct I get 15% regeneration. PoB : I am aware that my build must have many errors, I have never done this, please be indulgent :). By the way, if my build it is good for trash, please tell me if a build with this ascendancy is pos

Update: New pob. TL;DR: A lot of scaling doesn't work as intended, we crit ambush now. Estimated damage is 2.2m on average, with a possible ~200k plague bearer. Basics of how it works - Step 1: Curse target boss with Despair and apply wither. Step 2: Ambush to the target. Step 3: Spawn worms with flask (1 use is enough) and drink diamond flask. Step 4: Focus if you can. Step 5: Hit the worms either manually or with "stike additional nearby enemy." Step 6: Maintain wither and Despair until ambush is available again. Then repeat. Worms spawned from fla

Took a Poison Spec Helix build from poe ninja and converted it into a possible league start. I like the idea of utilizing blind, elusive, and the crit swift affliction. Looking for feedback on how to make this a bit tankier.

Just like the title says, i don't wonna be clapped almost every map. How can i survive t16? here's pob:

I don't know if there's much new with this but I put together an assassin stacking flat chaos dmg on gear and chaos dmg % and multi on the tree. It takes Perfect Agony. In my own testing I found just putting the attack skill in the 6l to be mandatory for clear, and my DPS is about 2m with pretty shit gear. My internet is too laggy to play a glass cannon assassin tho lmao. The version I built . Honestly the defenses didn't seem too bad but I don't have much experience bu

I whipped this together rather randomly in 20 minutes and it looks nice Is it worth putting extra time into it to make it an actual build? Any ideas on how to easly build extra defences? Rough explanation Basically the build uses Varunastra to pick a shitton of super powerful nodes and masteries, everything else is rather standard for poison builds. Dual weild doens't get that much more dps and the """build""" seriously lack defences so i went for a shield instead

POB: (edited for Anomalous Blood Rage) VoD: Simulacrum: comment League started this build and it's quite impressive. Killed all content up to and including end game bosses, but not tested against "aspirational" content such as 100% Delirious T17s. Huge damage, poison proliferation, whirling blades, and near infinite fl

Looking to take advantage of the base damage buffs with CoC poison for 3.17 on top of Determination/Grace/Defiance Banner Current 3.16 tree already looks pretty jacked (6.7m DPS @ lvl 90 on modest "early end game" gear): Additional Notes: Poison Proliferation from Bino's Kitchen Knife More DPS can be acquired seamlessly by dropping Determination for Malevolence Ailment resistant with Leper's Alms - can be ailment "immune" with CWDT + Blade Vortex/etc. 81% Spell Suppression can be capped by dropping Cherrubim's for a ra

Hey guys, this build surprised me and everyone. We started this off as another meme and this dagger caught my eyes and lead to another meme build, which... Honestly, turned out pretty amazing. We kept it cheap to simulate league starting gear and it's taken out all content so far. A lot of people were asking for this build the past couple days so I figured I'd get this one out before minmaxing. We're around 20k armor, 70 spell suppression, decent leech and those can definitely be improved. DPS sitting around 5m or so. Let me know if you guys have any questions! Video: [

So I put the following build and items together : The theory- Rage Vortex gets tons of attacks. lots of attacks + attack speed from Rage + some nice ranged elements potentially a ranged replacement for Blade Vortex in poison builds? Am testing this out as Pathfinder, but honestly this may be better as a Scion. Am using the Rotblood Promise + Chains of Emancipation combo to instantly generate full rage and maintain that rage since Rage Vortex really eats into your rage bar. I've noticed trying to attack too fast will

Hello everyone. So, as I already mentioned in this post I was thinking about running Petrified Blood + Berserk package with Elemental Hit to see if it works as well. And well, the result is that it does. For details about how the rage generation works, see the first post (first comment there). On top of that someone in comments suggested Strength of Blood, what was very good addition, 23% less damage taken for around 8 point investment or so, pretty solid. Also dont be confused by

This is probably one of the best builds I've theorycrafted. I wanted to make a hollow palm build and found an impale slayer build guide, but I don't have a duelist (standard) so I tried to make the build with another class (I don't have any marauder either). I decided to try assassin for crit but the dps with impale was capped at 1-2M dps. So I theorycrafted a poison version and oh boy was it better. Currently I have around 12M total dps (7M sirus) and at lvl100 around 15M total dps. PoB: (includes a lvl100 tree) Pros: fairl
