PoE Shattering Steel builds

(edited because Shattering Steel was lvl 22 from before the Gem Update in PoB to emulate the buff, Ive lowered it to lvl 21 now) I tested this build in Standard with random Gear I crafted that is realistic on League Start. It works really well and is not even considering the changes we are getting in 3.21. I played with 2x Ichimonji and cleared T16 maps. Few things to note: \- 10% chance for Impales to last an additional hit is not taken into account into the DPS in PoB. \- You count as Low Life at 55% Life increases the EHP but

New and better POB: Edit: After subsequent testing upon advice given by a couple of you in the thread I have made adjustments to the build. Master of Metal has been dropped and I've picked up First to Strike and Last to Fall. Adrenaline is procced with a dual midnight bargain swap. + impale count DOES NOT work with traps. Old and apparently fucked POB (its the POB shown in the video but it's also shittier):

So I have been trying to have an impaling build that ignites and use the blackflame ring. Blackflame ring for the exclusive reason of I like purple. So I was trying to figure out how to do it without sacrificing too much from one aspect or the other. Been using the weapon Paradoxica to try to mitigate that. Going with the idea that if I can get 100% physical damage as extra fire I can just stack physical damage and the fire I get will be enough to ignite. One of the issues I have been having is my ignite is a little low. I thought that by hav

Hello, So I really wanted to build around Champion, NB and Perseverance. I thought ele would be too meta and thought that impale with call of steel would feel smooth enough, tried leveling with SH a few leagues ago and it was awful. Though perma Onslaught, Adrenaline and tailwind/new implicit might make it smoother. I've crafted a bunch of gear and made a pob (first time building one from scratch) but have no idea what is good for SH - aps, avg hit and what not. Obviously I went overboard with the spell suppression in the defau

So because of multiple games that game out in this time, I didnt get to play this league much. Since 3.18 isnt making many changes I was thinking of trying out my build again but was wondering if maybe there was any advice people could give. This was a build of my own design so I know its not great, but any tips would be appreciated. I super lack in defenses and my gem links are just stuff I threw together. Like I still have a portal gem and GMP i was leveling in there. The Vaal Summon Skeletons is literally just used as a blocker/distraction for big scary things or bad groups. As for the

I've been playing General's Cry berserker this league, starting with Blade Flurry and transitioning into Shield Crush for extra defenses. I've noticed something funny about the PoB numbers - they all seem insane. Here's my current PoB, it says that I have about 15.8m Sirus dps when 2 waves from the Shield Crush overlap (which is likely), with a reasonable setup and no flasks. This build is in no way super-optimised or ready for The Feared, but it's in a solid state. Now, I have played builds with a shit ton of dps before and th
