PoE Hardcore, League Starter builds with custom stat filters

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

This has been one of my favourite league starts ever. I forgot how smooth perm minions are to play, and the Kuduku spectres shock nova is basically screen wide with the 30% minion AoE mastery. There's obviously a ton of improvements and gear upgrades to make, this is just a rough SSF friendly week one target. Spectres are Spirit of Fortune, found from the pink vendor in the league mechanic. You can farm the spectre corpses in a10 desecrated chambers. In-fact, it's easier to do so since you can keep resetting the zone, perfect spectres are much more common in campaign, and the corpse pool at

TL;DR, just play a proper ignite build. &x200B; For those that are interested, below are my journey of making/improving said build. It all started with a +1 All and +2 Minion Bones of Ullr, and the minion life tattoo, sparked my interest to build a Aukuna's Will Zombie DD build, along with reviving Mon'tregul's Grasp You may ask why DD? the thought process was wanting to build a balanced build with Proximity Shield Spectre and frenzy monke

Leveling Tips Act 1 - 5 Rush Elemental Overload on skill tree, if needed pick up Health Mana nodes on right side of witch starter area, i go for life on top right first then branch left to templar area. Buy Minion damage / Infernal Legion support in Act1. Socket in Summon Skitterbots in Act 2. Also optional to level Spiritual Aid during leveling to boost both your and skitter DPS then respec out of it later. On lvl 28 equip 4L Vortex + Deadly Ailments + Cold to Fire + Ignite Prolif

I'd like to introduce a tanky alternative to the traditional TS Deadeye.As with deadeye, you don't want to start TS, this applies to Champion as well. You start off with LA/IS/Galvanic/... or RoA for phys then switch when you think TS won't suck (+2 arrows bare minimum, likely even later). This isn't a full guide, just PoBs with variations of skilltrees/gems, so if you need handholding this isn't the place. The +2 proj on the tree prompted the builds, as I previously enjoyed a phys Impale champion back in... I honestly don't even remember, the character is gone too, so... Disclaimer: Built

8.2M DPS using only defensive auras, if you're SC and want to run wrath that bumps you up to 12M. Not a PoB warrior so scuffed items for the most part, but all relevant gear is easily obtainable. Two uniques I include are target farmable and day 2-3 gear max. Definitely NOT min-maxed. Based on my testing with Spectral Throw in game, after the buffs each should hit 5-8 times. I put it at 6 for the purposes of this pob.

So I was thinking of league starting as Righteous Fire. The new masteries makes leveling a breeze, but how realistic do you think it is to migrate to this after a week or two? Are these clusters really expensive? I'm a HC player who just farms red maps...so this seems pretty cool to me to be able to play that Auto Bomb style while remaining semi tanky. Thoughts?

I've been PoB warrior'ing for awhile and I think I've settled on my league starter. Main criteria was melee, strong overall build (mapping + bossing), and tanky as possible. Was thinking boneshatter slayer, but I avoided it for a couple of reasons; Vaal Pact annoys me and Slayer needs it to be acceptably tanky, and Slayer is kind of bad at bossing without very high investment. That being said, I love the Boneshatter Playstyle, and as a long time HC player I have a special place in my heart for Juggernaut. Juggernaut also deals with trauma stacks very very well. After review, Jugg has very

I've been making mainly minion builds for several leagues now, leveling at least 4 of them to 100 in HC Trade so far during last couple of leagues. I've done Zombies, Spectres (when they were viable) and last league Skeleton Mages. We had fairly major minion changes in the patch notes, and thus I'm going back to Zombies. Quick reference: PoB: Build is made for generic clearing of fairly juiced content, not really viable or really annoying for harder bosses because your minions will die Adjusted for 3.19, Custom Modifiers has 33% reduced attack speed beca
