PoE Vulconus, Physical builds

Warlock for huge HP, heralds for damage, determination for some armour. PB for damage reduction. With eldritch implicits we can get like 8mil and 1.6k leech.

First time trying to make my own build, I drafted this quick version of a spellblade fire BV Inquis. Any PoB Gods here that can tell me if this is dogshit? Got it to around 500k dps with only the weapon equipped, I added the spellblade damage in the config

early level with rolling magma, swap to armageddon brand at lvl 28 swap to BV once you have avatar of fire, skill effect duration node, and 40% phys to fire mastery on tree (lvl 45) Swap to crit once you get to maps (lvl 65~) swap path of building trees (lower left hand corner when looking at skill tree) for leveling trees. Mechanics: summon reaper gets new minion aura gem, and makes enemies bleed for vulcanous dps. reaper gets life regen from vitality, consecrated ground, and tree. meatsheild support will reduce with phys dot by 30%. Vulcunous gives massive dps with battlemage an

Basically scale Damage with the cookie cutter uniques like rathpith, vulconus, anathema, marylenes and the magnate belt. Slap on some Regen rolls on gear+vitality to sustain RF. Opt for heralds to scale damage further, opt into determination+some max res scaling to get a bit of spell damage mitigation. Die Instantly to chaos (at this gear level, its not unsolvable). Without conc effect you're at 20 radius which should be fine for clearing, can use awakened aoe as a swap later. Build has many conditions attached to the damage e.g. b

This is NOT a leaguestarter due to uniques needed, I would go a classic CHIEFTAIN if you leaguestart with it due to things being much easier and cheaper if you do so. I think this build has some interesting synergies. Vulconus in main hand and Nycta's Lantern for Battlemage in the offhand makes for a good combo, when you take Avatar of Fire on the tree as well as bleed the enemy somehow. In this build, I bleed the enemy by using a Reaper, which has 50% chance to bleed innately. Defensively, this build goes the new Jugg node alongside the Rakiata Lethal Pride, wh

After I've posted about Evasion and Armour Based Attack Builds, I thought I would theorize about Armour Based Spellcasters too. I've taken the Standard Inquisitor Spellcaster and worked on its defensive properties a bit - this recycles mostly defensive concepts from the previous posts but I feel like its worth showcasing nonetheless. This is a BV Inquisitor leveraging Phys taken as Element, perma Utility Flask Uptime and some moderate Armour Investment to achieve 0,15 phys Damage Taken multiplier vs a 10k phys hit and under 0.2 dam

Looking for some feedback before leaguestart. I've been working on a medium-high budget version for comfortable bossing and harder atlas content. I bumped up the gem levels on BB to simulate the buffs. Added Skitterbots for 'Divine blessing support' as a temp aura for bossing. (That's why I have to much reserved mana) My focus is on great sustain in longer boss fights. Life on spellhit, up to 86%dmg taken recoup, 800+ life regen, Eldritch battery w. 800+ ES regen (will also make the Blessing cost feel "free") and fix mana issues. Other defences: Armour stacking, 50/50 block. PoB: [https:/

I have been trying to figure out if I want to make another character to try the self-chill berserker. I decided I wanted to try to make the build a spellcaster. It plays like BFBB, but with the insane movement and action speed from self-chill berserker. - 5k life, 2k ES and good damage w. block and duo-regen is the current strongpoints of the build. - It is a bit expensive with 6-link impulsa, but should make insane clearing with both Herald of Ash and shock proliferation. Do you think it will work, or am I missing something? EDIT: I was missing something,
