PoE SSF, Area, Simulacrum builds

TL;DR| Pob link here: ---|--- Quick Explanation | A level 24 creeping frost skill gem is used to simulate the expected damage of a level 20 FB skill gem (based on comparisons with Searing Bond.) On Shako, I've added a 410% more damage over time modifier to simulate the level 30 version of the skill (based on searing bond's scaling.) There is a non Shako version under the Default tab, which is just a down-grade in practically every regard. Both use Supreme Ostentation, because league reasons. Build is fully built, but not optimized. There is almost certainly better

FAQ < How much area of effect do we want? You want EXACTLY 39% area of effect, since Pathfinder already gives 30% area of effect, this effectively means you have to get 9% aoe somewhere. There are 2 viable options for this: 18% quality on your Toxic Rain gem or 9% aoe craft on gloves or amulet. I'd recommend the craft since it's hard to get a 21/18 TR gem Why does the tree say 3.19? I want a 3.20 build! This PoB was made before PoB was updated to 3.20, nothing really changes for this build tree-wise, it does gain a bit of damage from the despair

BOSSING: You must have a Cold Iron Point, or a dagger with +1 Phys and Dot Multi to use blade trap. Obliteration is for mapping, CIP is for pinacle boss farming/completion

TLDR: Frozen Legion possibly (i.e. not confirmed or hinted at by anyone at GGG AFAIK) scales similarly to Shockwave, gaining CDR and EAD please please please remember to cross-check when gem information is dropped and do not take this as gospel - it is hypothetical although at least an educated guess It's a decent 6th link for average attack speed builds It might be mainable if your weapon is exceptionally slow, but Heatshiver is likely the most straightforward way to scale it for now. 4 sample builds to get your own theorycrafting started, although those

With all the flak 3.19 got, i wanted to share my experience of it, from a casual, 5-15 hours per week point of view. Builds i played were quite meta, but with probably less effort put on them than average player. The gear does reflect it, but there are couple items i got very lucky, and happy with. Probably pretty average result you might get given the same amount of time played. Gearing was quite tough early on, as before the soft nerf on arch-nem crafting was almost non-existant with my starter RF. Essences were scarce, harvest was gutted and drops were low. After buffs things got better, w

get alchemists mark effect enchant if it exists (30% mark effect is from this, otherwise get hexblast aoe, despair effect or an aura reservation ig) problems that im willing to drop some damage for: - no phys mitigation (grav mod on chest) - no spell suppression (gonna write this off as too hard to cap without dropping too much ES for comfort) max res on shield - mana (no room for clarity, can't go EB and CI) - maybe swap to life and go EB? idk - recovery sucks - maybe.........drop profane bloom.....................yikes maybe swap wand base to accumulator if ur nasty, i just used driftw

Hi all, thinking of doing as the title suggests, have a pob here: Taking Polymath, One step ahead, Escape artist, Soul drinker Playstyle for bossing would be dropping sigil, orb of storms, then spamming CL A few notes about the pob, hydrosphere is only there because I couldn't figure out how to add the apply -lightning res gloves implicit, tailwind has been checked off to simulate one step ahead, and changes to trickster have been added in the custom modifiers except for the 92% monster action speed modifier. This is just a quic

First time posting a build, looking for critiques on ways to improve it. Tried to use fairly basic gear to simulate. For 3.19. Core ideas, new 40% Mom+eldritch battery to solve mana and add a bit more tankiness and value to dual regen of inq. GMP to shotgun creeping frost. Daressos courage for 55% spell block/75 if blocked attacks recently. Things looking to gear for once it gets going- increased max fire res, get the last couple % left to cap suppression. curse on hit ring to free supports up for RF. Generally adding % increase

Either: Inspiration + Crit Ruby flask + crit multi small nodes in top right or Awakened Add Lit 5 + Mana Reduc Ruby flask + 80% crit mastery + crit chance small node top right

DISCLAIMER: I have not actually played this build in any way yet and 3.18 is when I'll possibly try it, so it could have periods of build progress where its shit before it becomes good, or just be shit forever. DISCLAIMER 2: This is NOT intended to be a day 1 all uber bosses killed build with all magic gear like DD, but one that can function early without needing gear in SSF but will also feel rewarding to build it up as you play throughout the league. Build Features Ethics Not DD, Seismic, EA +++ Hit based attack build +++ Does not use omniscience +++ Does not use Ashes of Stars ++ Does not
