PoE Champion of the Cause builds

This is my first attempt at creating a build from scratch (3,479 hours played First PoB from scratch, still very much a noob but I gotta start somewhere). I started with 2 items, the Brass Dome + Replica Dream Feather, and the Jugg ascendancy that doubles armour. My goal was to build damage through stacking armour. Through research from ThisIsBadger/PoB videos and randomly discovering uniques (The formless flame) I've put together what I think could be a solid build with some more guidance and useful tidbits that you all may know. One thing to note is that I don't know how to add the new e

Hello everyone, With the possible upcoming nerf to aurabots, I was trying to theorycraft a new way to be a combo utility support/buff support. The TLDR is using the Empire's Grasp Gloves, a giant AOE Sweep, and then having 2 blasphemy curses to debilitate the mobs. The issue I quickly ran into was the aoe square root modifier make getting huge AOE quite difficult. If I were to try and hit an AOE of 100, I need to get a modifier of about 3x the base of 30. Due to the square root, it ends up meaning I need ~1100% increased AOE. 100/30 -> 3.333 3.333= 11.111 POB from POB.party fou

Last time it was a hierophant, the issue was that absorption charges didn't apply as much of a benefit as theoretically thought, and additionally, I forgot that MoM only applies to life. Again like last time, this doesn't do very much damage, this time it deals more, but still not very consistently. So instead we decided to go with a juggernaut, and use two nebuloch maces. By getting up to 10 endurance charges, we can reduce elemental damage from hits by 20%, while also giving us a huge amount of base armor. We can also use the soul ripper flask, and the timeless keystone "The Traitor" to g

Okay so this build kind of originated off of one of my favorite unique swords Dreadbeak. The idea is to boost base damage with bloodthirst and reserve exactly or slightly above 50% of life for permanent low life. Now you may say, but adrenaline can be abused so easily if you just reserve at 51%, and I'll say 6 auras/buffs with very good aura effect. Instead of creating a gigantic block of text I'll try to note all the advantages with formatting I'm not used to. Exactly or close to 50% reservation using a herald of purity and a high level vita

I have been working on this build for the most part of the day testing some different setups for a pillar based bone shatter build. In the end a very simple version I decided was the best. Further work can be done to add in bloodthirst with much higher budget. ------------------------------- I have decided to not focus on stacking as much stun as possible so the build is hoping that the base radius is generous. But with a couple of passive changes more stun nodes can be taken. ------------------------------- With any strike skill, attack speed is key to make it feel good, therefor we dip

Heyo, So i've been working on a shield charge/shield crush Glad making use of bleed and challenger charge nodes for league start. I got to work on this after reading a few other posts regarding this skill and thought I would throw my pob in to the mix for some optimization from the community! &x200B; After seeing " While reviewing this skill, we've made changes to all skills that deal damage based on Shield Defences, greatly boosting their damage. " I am hopeful these buffs were enough to offset the nerfs to melee phys and brutality(both of which this build uses) The build is pretty

i had this idea i don't know if it is viable tho. the idea is to apply bone offering at full value so that i can heal +500 life on block, reaching 75% attack block / 68% spell block via glancing blows while using a 2handed axe, and use scold's bridle to self hit me while channeling cyclone, so that i can keep on triggering vengueance. I decided to go gladiator because of the double damage with counters. any idea on how to continue with the build?

400k dps per sentinel. Plays like a typical dominating blow build. No herald of purity. 52% life reserved with no enlighten, purity of ice is there to simulate 35% Petrified Flesh reservation. Low life Blood Magic Mortal Conviction simply to reserve Pride for nothing. Perfidy is nuts with this build, according to POB, placing banners doubles dps when you have two banners down. I'm not convinced on the bannerman notable actually doubling your dps, but that's what POB says. EDIT: After some testing, I have come to the conclusion that the damage boost from banner

definitely not the dps you can pull out in regular mapping or even in boss fights but if you somehow can get all the buffs off than nothing can stand a chance against you.

definitely a pob warrior tree. you wont have all those buffs activated at once for 99.99% of the game.but if you do somehow get all the buff on than for the split second you can reach flicker dps heaven. the budget for the pob items is around 2 mirrors. for bossing you put on a frenzy on hit chest with all the same mods but explode is replaced with frenzy on hit. also good luck rolling on the elegant hubris

So one day i was messing around with pob and came up to the thought that trickster is very well suited for dots in general, not only chaos dots, and is very tanky at the same time. Then i thought that my harvest bleed bow glad was, despite his 6.5kHP, not very tanky. At all... So i took my harvest glad's pob, removed all the irrelevant gear and replaced it with stuff like kintsugi for the tankiness, vertex because idk trickster at all (never played one) but i know that the helmet is kind of bis with the ascendancy. Didn't bother maxing resistances in pob bc it looks like there's enough room o
