PoE SSF builds

So I had the opportunity to grab an 6 link Grasping mail with this mod and Envy and thought that it seemed like a rather fun idea to put together a build that would make use of this! Putting together my notes / thoughts on it after leveling it up to capture some relevant use cases for the future as this build shined in some respects but that's more so for other factors than what I built it for. The notable feature of that mod is that with a Lesser Poison Gem, any minion link reaches 100% chance to poison. Add in Divergent mod and the gem gives a respectable amount of base chaos damag

PoB: Exsanguinate + Arcanist Brand From what I saw, Exsanguinate doesn't seem like an amazing spell to self-cast. Spell Totems seem like the obvious solution, but I think Arcanist Brands will provide the smoothest playstyle. Exsanguinate doesn't seem to suffer from its downsides (a lot). Question: Is the DoT debuff affected by the damage reduction from Arcanist Brand? I can see it going both ways depending on how one interprets the wording. If not, this could turn out godly. If it does, still not the biggest deal when

I was messing around in Ritual SSF for a fresh start and found [[Ngamahu's Flame]]. With decent damage, 60% phys to fire conversion and 20% fire pen, it seemed like a good fit for a phys spell battlemage build. In trying to figure out how to also take advantage of the axe's 20% chance to trigger Molten Burst, I discovered that it can trigger Cast on Crit. Molten Burst doesn't take a socket so it's functionally an extra link for CoC. Triggered Blade Fall with Spell Cascade creates an expected 7.5 blades per proc, which is a reasonably good fit for having Blade Blast trigger 1/5 of the time on a

I think I'd share my most successful build this league, which I actually started with. I had an absolute blast playing this build, so if some of you guys looking for inspiration maybe it's the one you need. I've done all content in the game including Awakener 8 The Feared and 100% Delirious maps (this one is not so comfortable, but doable). Simulacrums are cakewalks. Everything in maps dies like it's nothing. Sometimes she kills map bosses without me noticing it. In her current state she is worth around 100-120 exalts, but she can work with much much less (it's my league starter after all). S
