PoE Cruelty builds

Both Bane and Cold DoT Occultists greatly benefit from the new Vaal Caress Gloves, as they run 4L Vaal gems. Bane === For Bane, Vaal Blight receives hefty buffs from running Vaal Caress: Let's say you get these at level 32 (very unlikely), you have Vaal Blight Level 10, Void Manip Level 8, Efficacy Level 8 and Swift Affliction Level 1. You're a Witch with a standard Bane tree (Atrophy, Whispers of Doom, Melding and Arcane Expanse). Compared to Apothecary's Gloves, which you can't get until much later, and are gonna be BiS for a while, you get a +194% dps inc

Hi all! So I've decided to try to theorycraft something simple for my first leaguestart without using a guide made by ziz, jungroan, pathofmath, and the like. I'm interested in an ignite build and eventually settled on hexblast ignite because playing with curses also seemed fun. I made a POB and it's hitting 8mill ignite dps on guardians on gear that shouldn't cost more than 7 or 8 ex I think by the second or third week of league. Is this too good to be true? Maybe I invested too little in defenses or something. &x200B; Any input would be appreciated ! :) &x200B; POB:[

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

Last I've played poe was during the blight league and I've only really used builds I've found on the forums, but coming back now I wanted to try playing the next league making my own builds and seeing how far I can go with them. I've fiddled around with POB and this is what I've got so far Spectral Shield Throw Bleed Gladiator Blazing Salvo Block Inquisitor Consecrated Path Inquisitor Was hoping I

I'm working on poison Dark Pact for next league. The shared PoB has some issues I am aware of (empower lvl2, under-leveled gems in general, some gear pieces are terrible - especially wand, missing Passive ascendancy jewels). I pulled the gear I had from different builds so it is kinda strange. I am mainly looking for if you guys have ideas for some structural changes, rather than amplifying current state by getting better gear doing the same thing I am doing. maybe some new interactions I don't have, some interesting legendar

Hey, I've crafted both helmets aiming for some RF stuff, but both of these tries hit +3 minion gems. Here's what I've tried : Absolution infernal legion instability : Use maligaro's lens and necromantic aegis so they die in about 2 seconds.Replica siegebreaker for additional burning damage Result is : \- CI 5.5k ES \- 437k instability DPS with ignite, (30% chance to ignite with base crit + flammability) \- 41k IL DPS \- 289K burning ground DPS from siegebreaker \- 35k absolution minion attacks DPS POB : I've tried an

Hi , i wanted to add elusive into my build ,but its non-crit, and i use molten shell for walking so i cant use withering step. Is there anyway to have it ? Arcanist brand,totem,some mod somewhere, no witnesses is removeed from game i belive ... And in general you can give me some tips and ideas to improve DPS/Defence (non unique preferably,i need resistances). And regarding my build , i always do my own build and this is build with best dmg i ever made, i avoid meta skills, and " boring ,meta" ways of building like omni,ashes, abyssus,ryslatha,all sorts of stacking ,so thats why my builds l

I made a thread here a little while back and got a lot of help from this sub-reddit. My little fireball build was turned around and made alive once again (sorta). I have since than continued to make improvements. Gear upgrades. Testing different uniques. But I feel as though I have invested alot of currency and time into this build and it still doesn't feel good. (I don't have a lot of time to play). I upgraded to a +5 staff, a +2 amulet, some apothecary gloves. Bunch of jewels with DOT multi. I feel like the build has run out of gas. Obviously I know with more c

Hello people, I need your help! I am currently working on a build for fun, which at least on paper looks very good.The main task of the build will definitely be mapping. If you're bored, and you might be up for something like this, you could take a look at it please. Any help for more damage - and especially more survivability are VERY WELCOME. Goals for this build:\- Relatively "cheap"- Limit mainly to rares if possible- very fast mapping and also good single target if needed Edit 0.4

I didn't set out to do this, but I was asked by several people about discharge. It just wasn't popular this league. So I wrote this guide. Any feedback would be great. My to do list so far is 1. combine the 3 POBS I discuss into 1 2. link items into the forum thread Any other suggestions or feedback would be appreciated.

as the title says, I want to go a little bit oldschool and created this "low"-budget PoB linked below. Is this realistic dps, and more so, enough dps for tackling on the lategame? Did I configure everything "correct", as in, realistic?

So I have been trying to have an impaling build that ignites and use the blackflame ring. Blackflame ring for the exclusive reason of I like purple. So I was trying to figure out how to do it without sacrificing too much from one aspect or the other. Been using the weapon Paradoxica to try to mitigate that. Going with the idea that if I can get 100% physical damage as extra fire I can just stack physical damage and the fire I get will be enough to ignite. One of the issues I have been having is my ignite is a little low. I thought that by hav

As the title states. I've always had a thing for fireball and have wanted to make it work as self-cast. It's definitely not meta but I still gave it a shot. There isn't much currency put into this build and definitely room for improvement. I die ALOT. Like at least once or twice a map. I understand why I die. Mainly I'm not not running grace or determination even though I spec'ed into grace reservation on the tree. I don't have enough reserved mana so I could either save for enlighten 4 or drop a damage aura. And ultimately I don't have capped spell suppression
