PoE Retaliation builds

- Config, currently need a way to get intimidate (awakened gems) - Berserk is not ticked (adds about 30% more dmg) - Single cluster uses ruthless and mastery to proc intimidate - Molten shell is not ticked, but will be active most of the time

Alright, I hear you, this is crazy. But it could work! See the PoB. No uniques or jewels of any kind needed. Easy to get spell suppress. Crit immune. Decent dam. Very tanky. Good flask recovery. Great life regen. 20% chance to avoid ele ailments from tree. Everything on lifetap to avoid mana issues. PoB has mostly trash equipment, which is what we'll be using. Some of the decent stuff is based on what I crafted using fossils from stuff I found in Delve this league. I put the tree together pretty quickly, I'm sure it can be optimize

&x200B; Really trying to learn how to piece things together build wise just overall. Open to ALL criticism and any info on making this better. Thank you for your time and feedback as it's my second time going from scratch on something!

So this is not a build showcase, it's a work in progress, I'm looking for feedback on how to make the character more powerful without heavy investment - I'm a casual player so I can sink a few more divines in at most. Basically the idea is to do the Snakebite/Frenzy stacking thing, but go crit poison because Emperor's Vigilance, Seething Fury give a ton of extra crit multi, kind of like the Nightblade poison builds. I'm also getting a bunch of crit chance from self-blind with Second Sight Keystone, good synergy because you don't need a high dps weapon since your shield is doing all your damage

Video of T16 Maps, Sirus, Eater, Drox, Harvest etc: &x200B; Im Sorry, i fucked up the aspect ratio or something, it doesnt show the whole screen lmao. I think its because I recorded in Window mode. I wanted to share this super cheap Build i am currently playing. It requires 3 key unique items. \[The Devouring Diadem\] + \[Emperor's Vigilance\] + \[Seething Fury\]. I am playing this build on SSF, but I advice to not start playing it on SSF as a League Starter. On Trade League though, this will work just fine, as the Uniq

In ARPGS, I've always enjoyed the "high mitigation, high recovery, low HP" style since I first played a Shillien knight in Lineage 2. In PoE however, it seems kind of hard to replicate since most life recovery is scaled off your total life (HP, most sources of regen). With the changes to Immortal Flesh, and a few things that make shield crush armorstacking a lot more interesting, I'm thinking of trying my luck with an archetype that I haven't played with yet, armorstacker jugg, leveraging high phys mitigation to trigger high HP and ES regen, and trying to abuse

Leveling I'm not great at rushing through the campaign but I used splitting steel. If you get the Titucius' Span shield, you can With mana reservation implicits, you can anoint disciple of the slaughter instead of charisma. Panopticon is still the best anoint for single target DPS with ancestral totems but I like the flexibility of not being force to always have the totems placed. For ailment immunity before grand spectrums, you need to bench craft the betrayal "chance to avoid elemental ailments" suffix onto your boots and body armour. I planned the bench craft into the build items sinc

Leadership's Price tree requires balancing your strength/dex with suffixes on rare gear

WARNING!!! WARNING!!! TRICKSTER IS SCUFFED, Added in custom calcs! Trickster vs Champion We still have Fortify We also have overleech No Flesh and Flame yet Immunities to many negative effects Non-crit Good for more experienced players. VERY tanky! Can also use Death's Rush. Armor or Eva or Armor/Eva shield ---- Harvest reforge, dense fossil, or essences. You need more accuracy than your total life! Capping impale chance via jewels, can use impale support. ----- anomalous blood rage + Frenzies, good for mapping, absolutely NOT needed for the build! If you have issues with fortificatio

So with the new League coming i made a Shield Crush Poison Champion Theory craft. I havent compared it yet to Impale Shield Crush, but the Poison version looks good on paper. Especially with the changes to Obliteration and Mings(for Softcore), the build should have pretty good clear and some potentially good single target damage. The gear i used in the Pob should be pretty "cheap", or farmable in SSF. Its primarly Resist, Life and some Spell Suppress. The Idea was, since Seismic Trap is gone as a Budget Option, and Melee staying kinda untouched, that Shield Crush looks pretty good for easy P

Problems: - --- Cleave <--- - Reservation issues; Makes Passive Tree a bit awkward - Skyforth is expected to be EXPENSIVE League Start - What damage scaling?? - Physical; Brutality - Tight on skill gems Possible Solutions: - Switch off Slayer - Cluster Setup (Probably expensive league start; opt out) - Unset Ring(s) - Transition to edps somehow; ~ Conversion - Precision Misc: - if Arctic Armour - Purity of Fire, immune to Freeze, Shock, Ignite ~Alpha's Howl, Tempest Shield, Purity of Fire - Can do 1 Passive point to get Impale from a mastery (20% chance) - On

Last I've played poe was during the blight league and I've only really used builds I've found on the forums, but coming back now I wanted to try playing the next league making my own builds and seeing how far I can go with them. I've fiddled around with POB and this is what I've got so far Spectral Shield Throw Bleed Gladiator Blazing Salvo Block Inquisitor Consecrated Path Inquisitor Was hoping I

I started building a new league starter (hopefully no balance changes to SC) and think that I have a pretty refined idea for budget Shield Crush utilizing some cheap uniques. Watchers Eye (Single Mod) is really the only item that may be expensive to work towards as a goal in the first week, but impale is pretty non-meta right now. Overall nothing too crazy or innovative but think its worthy of a league start. POB has no cluster, gem quality, flasks, Eldritch mods, or berserk buff. Amazing shields are pretty cheap or easy to craft with Rog Should be able to hit 5 Mil DPS by end of week 1 or

POB: So, I've been running a PConc Pathfinder this league (long league in a long time), and I am having a blast. The build is tanky, and does reasonable damage. So far I've been able to do Sirus, Maven, Elder, Shaper, Eater of Worlds. Now, my question is specifically on Simulacrum (wave 22 and higher), but I guess it applies for other issues as well. In case of Simulacrum and 20+ waves, I have no issue in tanking damage (I guess), however my main problem is with damage output. At some point it is just a 1v1 with Kosis where it is j

I don't really have any experience with making my own builds; I was interested in replaying the Strength Stacker that Zizaran originally made with Mahuxotl's Machination; with the build being both tanky and able to do a fair amount of damage with Vaal Ground Slam;. I wanted to use Blunderbore and The Gull with this to make use of shrines. I have tried referencing the PoB for the build and with some new items such as Melding I tried to make the build as tanky whilst also blocking. However, in doing so I know that I have avoided damage; after having a look I'm not too sure where I can path to t

DISCLAIMER: I have not actually played this build in any way yet and 3.18 is when I'll possibly try it, so it could have periods of build progress where its shit before it becomes good, or just be shit forever. DISCLAIMER 2: This is NOT intended to be a day 1 all uber bosses killed build with all magic gear like DD, but one that can function early without needing gear in SSF but will also feel rewarding to build it up as you play throughout the league. Build Features Ethics Not DD, Seismic, EA +++ Hit based attack build +++ Does not use omniscience +++ Does not use Ashes of Stars ++ Does not
