PoE Aegis Aurora, Chaos Inoculation, Incandescent Heart builds

I commented in a thread about my CI Poison Spark build the other day, and there seemed to be some interest about my approach to what is quite a popular build this league, so I thought I'd make a post. My philosophy is that I want to hit the DOT cap, with good Wither uptime, and after that I focus on hit damage and defenses, namely in the amount of a high ES pool. At 10.31 casts per second (11.27 with Smite active), the build is extremely mobile and generally hits the DOT cap in 2-3 seconds, depending on the arena. I eschew Awakened Deadly Ailments and Awakened Unbound Ailments in favor of A

I'm looking at some other Poison Spark Occultists on poe.ninja and trying to figure out how their DPS is so much higher than mine. I've got a couple questions on where to go from here: I'm seeing a lot of use of Steady Torment. I'm sure I'm missing something super obvious. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out where bleeding is being applied from. Big differences in gear I'm seeing are Grand Spectrum jewels & weapon. Even adding

Saw somebody post their Poison Winter Orb build earlier today and thought I'd share the Poison Ball Lightning I made. It's more or less identical to Poison Spark, both in tree and gameplay feel, except for bossing when I swap gems and rings. You (probably) shouldn't play this? It does feel a tiny bit worse than Poison Spark in doing most things. But it was a nice change of pace for a bit, and I have a strong suspicion that as long as you have an Original Sin, you could get Ball Lightning going farther on a smaller budget than Spark. (i.e. if I had no Mageblood or Nimis or Grand Spectrums e

Decided to go all in on one build this league and focused on Stone golems as whit elementalist ascendency i didn't need to worry about resummoning minions. Prity happy whit out come, still some places that can be improved like adding block, or better cluster and gear but probably i wont go all the way for min max as i have limited play time. As u can see golem inflict bleeding, whit vuln curse we get 99% bleed chance, but scale DoT won't be possible as this build requires a lot of jewel socket for primordial jewels. Did all content whit it, only Aul left to find and slam him too. Pob: [ht

this guy is fairly tanky, but it doesnt feel THAT tanky. im not sure i'm understanding some of the math in PoB and why it thinks the effective hit pool is that high? (i only have like 4.5k eHP) I would also of course like tips to take that existing HP even further if you got em.

So here\s my Coc DD necromancer I\ve been building around for the last couple days. Since the new amulets are chase items I wanted to try something that was cheap and I knew it was still good So I tried the Leadership's Price. This item combine with Melding and Aegis is a very good combo IMO. Just in case someone got interested in playing this build and have some ideas on how to improve the single target dps I would appreciated that. I\m using reckoning to spwan desecrate but against single targets it is not that effective. I already tried that Arcanist brand and for me was way too clun

Character: as can be seen cremation is kinda vulnerable to degen. its not vulnerable to anything else tho. cost of build is 200 ex ish PoB:
