PoE 3.23 Affliction Shadow, League Starter builds

Use Brand Recall to force the secondary debuff from Wintertide Brand to activate faster. Cold Snap for single target. Swap to Devoto's Devotion for more movespeed (also lets you drop the dex node). Can also swap Malevolence for Haste. Sadly can't really use Petrified Blood, on paper it's more ehp than Discipline but Vaal Discipline is more useful imo. Leave out LL if you want to be tankier. I left out Defiance Banner for now because of reservation issues. Get the remaining few k evasion from ring or amulet prefix or higher rolls on flask and gear or something, Utmost Intellect is also very use

Disclaimer: First of all, I would like to thank the ytb user FearlessDumb0 for giving me inspiration to make this build. This build is based on his 2d explosive trap video. Here is the link: How to level After you are done with the "Leveling" skill tree, start pathing to the nodes in the "Default" Skill tree. Dont bother with respecing, until you're about lvl 80-85. 1. Get Rolling Magma-Elemental Prolif - ? (anything but Added Cold) 2. At Lvl 12, get Fire trap - Elemen

PoB: Pretty late in the league so this probably won't get much traction, but I wanted to post this anyways as this is one of the most fun builds I've ever played. I won't claim there's anything super unique here as the core is just a pretty bog-standard power charge stacker, but I am surprised at how relatively underused CSoP is cause this thing hits like a truck (albeit a smaller truck than Penance Brand I guess lol). Pros and cons first and then I'll go into a little more detail about some interesting aspects. Pros \- Insane

Hi guys! I discovered this insane build 1y year ago thanks to u/Dreadmaker (link) and still looks criminally underused with only \~100 characters on PoE ninja. I figured I could share my Lighning Strike of Arcing version which carried me to 100 while farming T16 8000wisps maps this league. POB for 100-150div budget : Not a leaguestarter, requires \~20d and level 92-95 to come onlin

Gearing notes: - Tincture: Lightning Pen and Melee Strike range. They're not terribly expensive, and my perfect rolled on cost me 1 div. I like to prioritize the range over the pen, because I like hitting monsters from the other side of rivers. Might be able strike range out for splash, or rage on hit, and get more damage, but then you'd probably be running different tinctures for different content, and I just want to be lazy. - Helm: Anything ES here. Crown of Thorns is a nice starter. Get resistance, get something better than what I have. - Weapon
