PoE Chaos Inoculation, Assassin, Occultist, Templar builds

The goal is to get some value of the "more damage per pending cast" stat on the skill. The raw DPS is barely acceptable for endgame content, but I'm wondering if any of you guys would like to take a stab at it and see if you can get a couple million more DPS out of it without making major sacrifices. I chose trickster strictly because of the very high amount of cast speed needed. If you can still hit 10ish casts per second on another class, I'd welcome it.

Power charge stacking has some nice synergies with the big ol' fist. You can get some good sources of flat damage (the ephemeral bond, and on rings) which is great because the slam gives 600% added damage effectiveness, you get a boatload of %increased damage from Auxium, and you get crit. Add in as many sources of +attack crit as possible (gloves corrupt, hunter body, assassin ascendancy), and you can actually get pretty decent crit chance. You can also get Second Sight since the slam has 100% chance to hit. Assassin is the natural ascendancy pick since you can get +1 charge, base crit, and o

Hi Everyone, As COC is my favorite arch-type in the game, there is no league that goes by without me playing at least 1 cast on crit build. 3.17 is no different and I've decided to go with a COC Ice Spear, since I've never done Ice Spear, mainly just Ice Nova ( which I still say has much better clear then Ice Spear ) The reason I chose Inquisitor is survivability, and because I never did a CoC Inquisitor, usually I roll a Occy or Ass, so this time I went hispter and chose the long-neck. The build revolves around having the per

Whats up :) &x200B; A few days ago I posted about my attempt of using melding of the flesh and aegis aurora to get very tanky on a forbidden rite occultist, using coc to get some decent damage, and I am finally done with my build. After about 150ish ex investment, + mageblood (which I think you can replace, although it is absolutely a loss in power; not enough to kill the underlying principles of the build though) I am now sitting at about 160k max hit taken, 6k es, 90 all res, 90k armor, 20 million sirus dps while dying sun is up, and am very happy with the build. Because a ton of peop

Hello fellow exiles! I would like to share with you a build idea I had for this league and tell you of the performance I 've seen so far with mid to high investment. The build : When reading the patch notes and seeing that CwC would receive a nerf of 40% less damage to compensate for the buffs to hand casting I thought that instead of using the usual trigger of Cyclone for CwC what if we used 2 spells that could combine with each other. As a result I came up with the combination of Incinerate + Anomalous Flame Surge. Flame Sur

Looking for input on the following build. I filled in a passive tree and added the mandatory items I know of. I'm going for a Low Life Occultist that uses cyclone+CoC+cold dot. From how I picture this... 1) cyclone crits and causes cold snap to proc. cold snap generates frenzy charges. (inner conviction on passive converts frenzy to power charges which boost all spell dmg). 2) I hand cast vortex which is the primary damaging spell in addition to cyclone. 3) Cospri's Malice auto casts ice spear, frost bomb and vaal ice nova. 4) I've taken 2 curses - frostbite and elemental weakness whic

Here's my take on Zombie Guardian for aHC, but certainly viable in aSC as well. Any tips or criticism welcome, especially on Zombies part. I've leveled similar builds to 100 for 3 leagues now on HC leagues, but with Spectres and Spiders, never Zombies. This time I decided on Zombies. As my playstyle is holding down Shield Charge, Zombies should attack everything without Feeding Frenzy, but if I find that doesn't work, then I need to socket in Feeding Frenzy for them. I don't like Predator support personally, but feel free to use it if you like that playstyle. Th

So far ive made some decent progress in the build, its just shy of 1mil avg hit and 7mil full dps (20 stack release), and essentially maxed block (74% attack block sadly so 1% off max.) and it has 100% crit rate. The only real issue is its going to be a pain to build, not because its made of crazy expensive items, but because its an all unique item build (minus the belt), because every piece has to be corrupted for the defenses to work and it would be a massive pain to craft and risk bricking a bunch of rares. So I'm looking for any tips or advice to better optimize this build essentially.

Couple of thoughts right off the bat: No Herald of Purity, just because for it to be worth I feel like would take up too much mana that could be used being tankier or boosting the Sentinels 96 is getting up there for sure... I'd probably start by dropping Enduring Bond since it's a pretty small damage boost. Would losing that much duration hurt? Seems to drop about a third of its duration (30s -> 20s) Very little minion defense on the tree. I see some trees investing quite a bit in to defense. Is that, like, crucial? Aegis Aurora probably getting t
