PoE Critical, Physical builds

Asenath's Gentle Touch is cheap AF this league and makes PBV insane ATM for farming T16s. Ming's Heart + chaos catalyst is crazy damage for phys poison builds. Obliteration is also pretty crazy. Arcanist Brand BFBB makes the build's bossing much more acceptable for dumb fights, and is a moderate investment gear swap. The tree is set up for fast shield charging + QoL things like big AoE for mapping, inc. skill duration, unleash seals, charge on kill, etc. Despite all of this it absolutely slaps damage-wise. PoBs are fluffed up a bit because of low life settings. Feel free to add '15% less da

Ventrua had put out a poison BV occultist for league start but I also like to play Assassin and it's more point efficient (though potentially still worse than Occultist), so I thought I'd share my work. All of these PoBs are built on top of Ventrua's PoB. These builds will focus on incorporating alternatives to Profane Bloom as a priority. Level as PConc, poison traps, or I can recommend cobra lash + tornado if you know what to do with league starting claw/daggers. League Start Target lvl 88 Obliteration setup: Post Start Target

Hey everyone! Posted a few days ago about theorizing poison BV Trickster due to the ascendancy changes. After some edits and feedback from some amazing people, the build feels like it's in a solid place to start testing out tomorrow. Forum link: 3.19 Starter/SSF PoB Version: 3.19 Endgame/Trade PoB Version: Any feedback is much appreciated!

This is NOT a leaguestarter due to uniques needed, I would go a classic CHIEFTAIN if you leaguestart with it due to things being much easier and cheaper if you do so. I think this build has some interesting synergies. Vulconus in main hand and Nycta's Lantern for Battlemage in the offhand makes for a good combo, when you take Avatar of Fire on the tree as well as bleed the enemy somehow. In this build, I bleed the enemy by using a Reaper, which has 50% chance to bleed innately. Defensively, this build goes the new Jugg node alongside the Rakiata Lethal Pride, wh

Trying to put together a BV-Poison Trickster build for league start. I'd like to start out SSF, so I've thrown together the following: I made a trade version too with some uniques and investment gear: Any suggestions? Appreciate the help!

I had an idea on the Trickster to use BV with the reworked Obliteration and Ming's Heart for potential 200% physical added as chaos damage. It gives great damage, and 40% explode chance. I'm concerned about the squishiness though. It's got a few defensive layers built in. Would anyone have any suggestions overall?

I made this, its something. Feel free to yoink, but I take no responsibility. Also, it was made on the beta PoB so might not work for everyone

So after Obliteration got buffed by quite a significant amount I started thinking about how to make use of those. Obviously you can do Poison with those, but then youre having backloaded Damage and I dont really like that while going fast through maps. This is a BV Char with currently 65% chaos convert and 80% added as Chaos. Im sure you could go higher with a Cluster Setup but I've chosen to not incorporate clusters since those usually inflate the cost quite a bit. Build doesnt really have outstanding rares, just the body armour

After I've posted about Evasion and Armour Based Attack Builds, I thought I would theorize about Armour Based Spellcasters too. I've taken the Standard Inquisitor Spellcaster and worked on its defensive properties a bit - this recycles mostly defensive concepts from the previous posts but I feel like its worth showcasing nonetheless. This is a BV Inquisitor leveraging Phys taken as Element, perma Utility Flask Uptime and some moderate Armour Investment to achieve 0,15 phys Damage Taken multiplier vs a 10k phys hit and under 0.2 dam

Hey guys, recently thought about possible offmeta league starters and came up with this Chaos BV, heavily inspired by the trending Cold BV variants. Build has 60% chance to explode ennemies and gull+blunderbore for fast mapping, as well as badge of the brotherhood for high withering step uptime to have it up for almost every pack and get the wither damage multiplicator for the explosions too. The build has actually 3.5M dps with the current config even against sirus which seems pretty decent. Ive found two things a bit worrysome:
