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

Hello Exiles, I found a broken mechanic from Jungroan, traps can work with mines, so when you detonate a mine, you will launch trap if linked with a trap, but you will say "wtf why you talking about traps and mines with Discharge" ? Let's me explain my idea, since you can generate frenzy/power charge with traps/mines from Charged Traps or Charged Mines support, I instantly thought about Discharge So, what is the best way to scale Discharge when you can cast this spell each 2s ? The answer is Ignite or full Crit, the problem with Ignite is that you are be able to cast Discharge each 2s when I

Hey All! I'm leveling my newest build which is a bleed-based Lacerate Gladiator. Here's my PoB: Can anyone identify any ways I can get more block? Specifically, more Spell Block? I know I can get 2-3 percent more from using better embers on my Body Armour, but apart from that, I am really not sure how to push it any farther (apart from cluster jewels, because I'd rather use those slots for damage). I've got Tempest Shield, spell block enchant on my amulet, and the Blue Nightmare already. Am I missing anything easy? My build will also eventually have spell su

Hello bros, I'm trying my own build with aim to 24/40 this league. Spectral Helix is on the menu with Vanguard belt and champion as a class. So far so good - doing some low red maps, but I'm starting to have some issues going forward. The idea is to be really tanky (armour + evasion + some spell supp + fortify) and have enough dps to finish of lv 85 bosses. Budget is around 10 ex. Obviously the rings need to be changed, but what else? I'm not even sure if I'm trying to scale Impale dmg correctly (well, just hit hard with flat phys duh..). I would love to switch to 1h + shield, but the dmg ta

hello fellow exiles, im currently onto my first red tier maps this league, im currently running a necro DD still using a tabula, my question would be whats the best version of the build atm, Blackflame for Chaos Ignite damage, or Polaric for more overall fire damage? Blackflame its very cheap atm and polaric its quite expensive for just 20% more fire damage, but i might be missing something I do have a 10ex budget atm, but i dont want to spend it on a +3% damage increase, to be honest i feel i do moderate damage on most bosses, i really wanted to be more tankier.

Hello all, I revived this build in 3.16 from TrollErgoSum's walking simulator video, but since then he has moved on to crystallized omniscience which is way out of my budget this season. All required uniques and cluster jewels can be bought for less than 5C each and total budget is 30C. No special aura or mana management, gems are all base type and not even fully leveled. No 6L required. In my POB I demonstrate that with extremely unoptimized skill points, the wrong class (you want Elementalist), and terrible rare gear, a decent mapper is still possible on a shoestring budget.

I have wanted to play caustic arrow for a while now but it doesn't seem to do enough damage. I threw together this POB and it doesn't look promising: There's little gear, but even with expensive stuff I don't see it doing more than maybe 3 million DPS, and since its tankiness and speed isn't great, it doesn't seem worthwhile to play. Has anyone found success with Caustic Arrow?

I don't think lacerate overall is optimal but I think I have pretty decent results with what I have. 1.2m dps against sirus with poop gear for league start, 4.9k hp and 60% block. 2.5m dps against sirus with a bit of investment in uniques. (although I lose around 400 life) I would love if anybody would tell me how to reach an even higher ceiling (+3m dps) or just any sort of improvement for the build, Im not the best at pathing and I am learning to craft items.
