PoE Duelist Ascendancy builds

Warning: this build should be made if you want to clear content because it deals no damage. It has max dodge, block and resistances (CI) without glancing blows or acrobatics. As well as decent evasion and armour. Max resistances are achieved with veteran's awareness, apep's slumber (can be replaced with a double influenced shield with all +3 max res) and tree nodes (CI for chaos res). To maximize veteran's awareness, molten shell is used and it's duration is increased as much as possible and cooldown reduced as much as possible. Dodge: ascendant raider node, phase acrobatics from skin of th

I have been playing around with the following build idea since the level 20 gem info was released: Scion (Gladiator / Pathfinder) Reap/Exsanguinate (going to have to test which one ends up working better and how Reap overlaps work with Spell Cascade). Now to preface, this build is based on the assumption that Indigon is not changed and that spell Life cost is not going to be increased by it, so we can proc it using Arcane Cloak / something linked with Archmage and get the bonus for our life-cast spells. We grab some block (the tree and items are pretty barebones, so I'm reasonably sure that

Here is the pastebin to my experiment. Ok, so the items are still not ready, but the basics of how the build is going to function are there. Life leech on spellhit is iffy to get early on and i don´t want to depend on hits, so i opted for high life regen. At this point i thought to myself, what if i integrate RF into the build to get that juicy more spell dmg mod? So i am stacking life, generic phys nodes, life% regen, dmg over time, max res and skill effect duration to scale the Exsanguinate and Corrupting Fever dmg over time. I started as a Jug but quickly

scion has a lot more damage potential and space for customization, but a 109 scion tree ended up with 6k hp and 300 regen with no hope of getting near 3,6k regen (leech tho) of my slayer build, which I suppose is stronger for this league around (given that slayer has enough dps to kill everything) Considering the 20% cull, slayer tree has around 1,5m dps, 7k HP and the said super high leech regen. Scion on the other hand has a lot of points to spare, can grab cluster jewels near resolute technique and basically has all the physical damage nodes in templar/marauder area and all the ones near t

PoB: Exsanguinate + Arcanist Brand From what I saw, Exsanguinate doesn't seem like an amazing spell to self-cast. Spell Totems seem like the obvious solution, but I think Arcanist Brands will provide the smoothest playstyle. Exsanguinate doesn't seem to suffer from its downsides (a lot). Question: Is the DoT debuff affected by the damage reduction from Arcanist Brand? I can see it going both ways depending on how one interprets the wording. If not, this could turn out godly. If it does, still not the biggest deal when

I have this idea of using empire grasps and cyclone , sucking enemies in and permastunning them while casting purifying flame. While i did make a pob for this, it lacks damage and i am still clueless on how stun works. any ideas on how to improve this?

EDIT: Got the build together, I'll put together a showcase tomorrow (its is... quite tanky) Theorycrafting PoB: I've been thinking of making an immortal build to loot fractured fully delirious maps. It is mostly just for fun, to see how cheap it can be to make a character tanky as fuck if you focus on little else. Requirements are: Fast (200%+ movement speed) Tanky (unkillable even in highest level of content) Because of this, pathfinder is basically mandatory; otherwise, since you can't kill mobs, you will have no way to sustain flasks. I opted for pathfin

POB doesnt take into account Temp Chains or Shapers Amulet. Duration is probably about 60 seconds. You can definitely fix it up. Its pretty shit right now. &x200B; Why did I do this? because I can.
