PoE 3.23 Affliction SSF, Spell builds

I'm thinking about doing Toxic Rain, but I can see myself getting frustrated by the damage delay, so I was looking into Caustic Arrow as an alternative. Last league everyone was playing the transfigured version with the poison tincture, but since the tincture is gone it seems to be more complicated to play. Ive seen ben play the regular version ( but it's ben and I'm not sure if I can achieve this aswell. Anyone got experience with caustic arrow and how good it will be in 3.24?

Use Brand Recall to force the secondary debuff from Wintertide Brand to activate faster. Cold Snap for single target. Swap to Devoto's Devotion for more movespeed (also lets you drop the dex node). Can also swap Malevolence for Haste. Sadly can't really use Petrified Blood, on paper it's more ehp than Discipline but Vaal Discipline is more useful imo. Leave out LL if you want to be tankier. I left out Defiance Banner for now because of reservation issues. Get the remaining few k evasion from ring or amulet prefix or higher rolls on flask and gear or something, Utmost Intellect is also very use

Disclaimer: First of all, I would like to thank the ytb user FearlessDumb0 for giving me inspiration to make this build. This build is based on his 2d explosive trap video. Here is the link: How to level After you are done with the "Leveling" skill tree, start pathing to the nodes in the "Default" Skill tree. Dont bother with respecing, until you're about lvl 80-85. 1. Get Rolling Magma-Elemental Prolif - ? (anything but Added Cold) 2. At Lvl 12, get Fire trap - Elemen

Hello, Looking for help with Vortex in SSFHC. Go easy on me this is my first self-made build. I primarily play SSFHC, and I'd like to make my own build from scratch this time. Most of my characters have died so far, and I'm hoping this one will be safer with chill/freeze effects. Gear equipped is just crap random gear I have on one of my leveling toons. Using Vortex with Grace, Determination, Tempest Shield, and D,Banner. Thanks for looking, and I appreciate your help!

If you like the detached mirage archer playstyle, take Occupying Force instead of Farshot in your 2nd lab and grab point blank while you're at it. The playstyle will be different but the damage will be similar. Do not take ricochet until you have enough power coming from your gear. Make sure you don't have any source of pierce when you go for ricochet. Flasks are really strong on this build and they are cheap to roll with alterations. We invest multiple points in the passive tree to improve their uptime and effectiveness; Do not let those points be wasted on some crappy rolled flasks. Rol

The Build The endgame setup should look like this: You max out on your Scorching Ray totems and then add as much Searing bond bois as you can alongside them without replacing the Scorching ray totems. The reason for this is because every additional totem active adds 5% mroe damage to everything and since searing bond comes with +3 to additional totems and we can add multiple totems on top of it they are the perfect choice in a build that relies on DoT damage which simultaneously buffs them. You need to hit an enemy with Flame dash or cast it twice to apply Arcane Surge. Additionall

Rage Hold: Just wanted to share the thing I managed to make with literally my last jewellery recombinator and a crusader's orb slam. It took a total of 15 divines for perfect rolls (1 for prefixes, 14 for suffixes) Finally got something worth using the mirror I found a year ago! And yes caster catalyst is around ~1% more dmg than crit catalyst for the planned build (not a completely ready plan yet but quite close) Hot take: SSF STD is the best dad gamer league

This has been one of my favourite league starts ever. I forgot how smooth perm minions are to play, and the Kuduku spectres shock nova is basically screen wide with the 30% minion AoE mastery. There's obviously a ton of improvements and gear upgrades to make, this is just a rough SSF friendly week one target. Spectres are Spirit of Fortune, found from the pink vendor in the league mechanic. You can farm the spectre corpses in a10 desecrated chambers. In-fact, it's easier to do so since you can keep resetting the zone, perfect spectres are much more common in campaign, and the corpse pool at

IMPORTANT FOR HARDCORE: Pick "Speaker of the Dead" on the tree and never run "map boss is possessed" on your maps. There's a ghost that disables your flasks and you don't want to meet that on this build, especially if you cap your resists using flasks. IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE: For the endgame setup you want BOTH Taste of Hate AND Lightning Coil. If you don't have that yet make sure to swap both your skillset and gearset to the pre-coil versions. 3.23 CHANGES < The biggest change from 3.23 is that the 10% AoE from Toxic Rain quality got replaced by d
