I've noticed a lot of people prefer to run Pathfinder for the totem explosion build that seems to all the rage right now. Built this a week or so ago before the videos began popping up and wanted to point out that the Hiero ascendancy can be a simpler route to quick totem damage. All that's needed for this build to function is Multiple Totems Support. The first particularly huge damage upgrade will be the Pursuit of Faith after your first lab, and the only thing to worry about otherwise is HP, Res, and Damage mitigation until you're prepared to begin bossing. I was running t13 maps with minima

Inspired by Krip (I stumbled upon his pre-league build prep and thought his glacial idea was well structured). about 9m DPS right now. Happy with the damage. And so much room to improve from there. Some big upgrades in the pipeline:- a big chest - with spell crit to get rid of the crit chance gem and switch to crit multi gem- big gloves (double dmg mod during leech + chilled enemies)- a double watcher eye (zealotry + hatred are less than 10div)- I still don't have any lab enchants on any piece (ele pen, glacial dmg or maybe a mana reservation)- I am thinking about transitioning to Squire ulti

Penance brand as hierophant using the reworked arcane surge on the cheaper side. Just sad that Penance brand is not much used and overlooked over the past several leagues, currently only 6 visible on the poe.ninja crucible ladder including me. It's often seen as a scaling build only used with great investment or with an aurabot. Bonus point, the mtx is wonderful and penance brand is one of my favorite skill. I understand it's hard to make it feels good and you can feel discouraged when you first try it but with a good understanding it's lovely to play (but beware you need to click a lot),

Posting Here as Well. Basically the interaction is this: When you take a hit with a 21/20 Petrified Blood, you take 60% upfront and 30% over 4 seconds. By taking a stunning hit with 30% Recoup (recover 30% of hit taken over 4 seconds), and a max-rolled Bloodnotch jewel (60% of hit recovered), you receive no damage from stunning hits. Taking the ES mastery which makes your Stun Threshold based on your ES and taking Agnostic to set your ES to 0, basically every hit stuns you. Therefore you are 'effectively' immune to hits. Adding the Immutable Force jewel (up to 1000% stun recov

One last minute guide that I made after seeing Ziggy's video on Exile Levelling and the AHK script, updated my Hierophant POB with levelling trees and thought I'd share: I plan to level with Rolling Magma into Wintertide Brand till level 38, where I swap to Ball Lightning and continue using it from there. ~~Muling Arcane Surge from Witch is probably worth it if the servers are stable tonight.~~ brainfart, you get it from vendor after Mercy Mission. It's not a record breaker but it should be pretty decent, if Wintertide Brand starts feeling bad in Act 3 you can s

First time making my own build and to be honest I have no clue if what I put together is a) playable and b) not complete dogpoop. Here is the PoB: Its very barebones. No Flasks, no uniques or special items, nothing ticked in config and the gems aren't filled out yet. It already has around 500k dps without using a second curse (allocated points in WoD just for reference) and without the vaal version. To me this seems pretty great but I have no clue if its actually playable. I am not set on hiero, just used it because I wanted to see what impact arcane surge

Context: This build is a modification of Jungroan's 3.19 self-chill Spark Inquisitor I was curious about the Arcane Surge changes for 3.21, and if they could be abused given that Spark spends a ton of mana and could easily hit the Arcane surge mana cap With the Crucible mechanic, this build could be pushed even further POB issues: POB doesn't seem to be correctly calculating Arcane Surge's new 10-25% more spell damage with supported skills. Even with 110% arcane surge effect, it's showing 19% and 42% more spell damage. It

Due to changes to Arcane Surge, Tulfall and Bubonic Trail I've been theorycrafting a generic elemental caster build for a templar and I'd like to hear your input. &x200B; The base relies on interaction between Tulfall and Malachai's Loop - Tulfall gives us massive cold damage to spells and Frenzy Charge generation at the cost of reseting our Power Charges each time we hit max, and Malachai's Loop gives us +2 max Power charges and quite a bit of %increased spell damage but in return we reset our Power Charges each time we hit max (same as Tulfall) and additionally shocks us.
