PoE Witchfire Brew, Melee builds

Pest / Viper Strike Pathfinder - cheap, kinda tanky Use PESTILENT STRIKE for mapping and VIPERSTRIKE for Bossing/Invitations Support gems are the same for both skills! each progression stage has a gem- , gear- and tree-setup -------------------------------------------------------------------------- lvl 64 - Level

POB: Tried my hand in build making. Currently it works decent enough to do basic t16 mapping. Would like to push it further. I am limited by my knowledge (and currency) so I'm asking for any suggestions on how to make this better. Some of the components of the build: Red trail, golden rule, maw of conquest and a unaffected by bleeds watchers for infinite frenzy sustain and chaos res. Haemophilia for explode. Solstice vigil for temp chains and longer flasks, self-poison/bleed etc. Anathema for more curses. Dendrobate for damage. Trickster for a nice colle

Hello and happy holidays! I've been spending some of my downtime this holiday season theorycrafting a super tanky pathfinder build, described in my initial post here. As a quick tl;dr, basically the build abuses Loreweave + Transcendence + the new Eternal Damnation unique as well as full phys taken as elemental to get nutty mitigation numbers. We leverage flask effectiveness and uptime to get perma sustain on Taste of Hate to achieve this. Without further ado, here are some POBs (all poison builds bc

PoB: I had been wanting to do a build with zerphi's heart since doing a soulthirst flicker character before but the way that belt left you feeling like the drug had worn off when soul eater wore off. When I saw 100% chaos conversion was possible for flicker strike by using the new glove implicits and tree, I had to try it. This is the result. Zerphi's heart means we get pretty good shocks and chills on even map bosses and vaal breach means we can basically guarantee soul eater uptime for bosses which can't be done with soulthirst.

Hi guys, Made another build for one of the more obscure items in-game so far - Temptation Step. Since the boots only work with travel skills, that leaves us with few options; most are elemental and don't hit very frequently. So I made a self-poison approach with Maw of Conquest; I was wondering what would be the best synergy with those two items and a travel skill - so I chose Shield Charge. Since I'm already poisoning and am pretty fast from the boots, I thought of an unusual approach and mixed it up with self-chill (Winterweave+Icefang Orbit) and combined it with the recovery and proli

Build: Main question I was hoping to get answered is the question of DPS. Because my god everyone says something different when it comes to acceptable DPS. 1 person says min 250K is the goal while another says 2M is the goal on league start.

Pastebin: Write up: This is my last build of the league and a continuation of my endless delve character and ideas I wanted to work on after the event. I was really keen on running crit for bleeds and using staffs instead of the usual axes or bow builds that are quite popular on the ladder. The damage on this character is surprisingly huge considering that if it is scaled down with a budget version it'll do equally well with a budget of 20ex. A big reason for this is that there's absolutely no one doing crit staffs for a

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
