PoE Melee builds with custom stat filters

In ARPGS, I've always enjoyed the "high mitigation, high recovery, low HP" style since I first played a Shillien knight in Lineage 2. In PoE however, it seems kind of hard to replicate since most life recovery is scaled off your total life (HP, most sources of regen). With the changes to Immortal Flesh, and a few things that make shield crush armorstacking a lot more interesting, I'm thinking of trying my luck with an archetype that I haven't played with yet, armorstacker jugg, leveraging high phys mitigation to trigger high HP and ES regen, and trying to abuse

Fellow Meme Mallet Enjoyers! I farmed myself a Mageblood on this build in AN Softcore trade. This is my character as-is on standard and I'm posting it in case anyone wants to hijack it for 3.19. I scaled this from league starter to 36/40 and it includes some pretty volatile items so I'm not going to bother assigning some sort of budget. Mallet adjustments: Bigger Damage, No built-in Pulverise (cheaper mana!), more friendly for Double Corrupting, less Attack Speed so we can pay for Cyclone less often. Damage is almost the same in my PoB after making only gem cha

Can someone help me find out best (and cheapest, within reason) way of achieveing 98-100% ele conversion of damage taken (phys > any of the 3 elements). So far the best and most expensive way is the following:Single corrupt perfect roll Dawn breaker (28% converted) Double watcher's eye with Purity of elements 2x12 (24% converted) Helm (I believe this is a standard item) 15 + 5 craft + 8 from influence = 28% converted Tasalio (chieftain) - 20% convertedDisclaimer: The above info is from a guide I found which I believe uses some standard items Currently I can do the following:Dawn breake

Tick focused, despair, and Malevolence for boss fights, unticked to not inflate pob dps. Obviously you wont have everything up and running and ramped up 24/7. No awk gems. 10k phys hit from boss to simulate survivability with one shot attack Wasp Nest is a great 1c unique for early game and new players. Before you get spell suppression on your gear pick up inveterate, its along the way and very very easy suppresion cap. Early annoit Weathered Hunter. Easy hit chance cap without killing your mana for Precision w/ other Auras. All resists are on 1 ring for pob. Get them where you can on all

Hey, Threw together a Pob for a gladiator with physical minions. The idea is a 6 link Dominating blow, 6 link summon reaper (squire) and herald of purity. Looking to use the new bleed dps and gladiator bleed pops (triggered with gravebind). My main concern is the investment to dps ratio. It seems solid defensively with a 90% phys reduction, res cap, 6k life, spell suppress cap. but I'm only at 2.4 M dps non boss dps with a fair amount of investment. Keep in mind I play HC so im definitly not going glass canon and prices are rougher than SC. Another concern is the leveling process because y

I've been PoB warrior'ing for awhile and I think I've settled on my league starter. Main criteria was melee, strong overall build (mapping + bossing), and tanky as possible. Was thinking boneshatter slayer, but I avoided it for a couple of reasons; Vaal Pact annoys me and Slayer needs it to be acceptably tanky, and Slayer is kind of bad at bossing without very high investment. That being said, I love the Boneshatter Playstyle, and as a long time HC player I have a special place in my heart for Juggernaut. Juggernaut also deals with trauma stacks very very well. After review, Jugg has very

WARNING!!! WARNING!!! TRICKSTER IS SCUFFED, Added in custom calcs! Trickster vs Champion We still have Fortify We also have overleech No Flesh and Flame yet Immunities to many negative effects Non-crit Good for more experienced players. VERY tanky! Can also use Death's Rush. Armor or Eva or Armor/Eva shield ---- Harvest reforge, dense fossil, or essences. You need more accuracy than your total life! Capping impale chance via jewels, can use impale support. ----- anomalous blood rage + Frenzies, good for mapping, absolutely NOT needed for the build! If you have issues with fortificatio

Hey guys, i finally put together a POB for a lightning strike trickster. &x200B; This is my league starter ( hopefully) and what im trying to achieve gear wise in the first 10 days to 2 weeks ( depending on how much i can play). Im looking for ideas, suggestions, improvements. I'm not very good with POB, so i will appreciate any feedback. The idea is to scale this all league. Last league i made about 2 mirrors in currency in a month a half of play, so i think i can scale this thing quite a bit. Do you think is viable? The

new mark changes are op: - gives power charge gen automation with quality ass mark, - permanent marks, and - boss and map frenzy generation - automates mark mitigation WHY IS THE UNRESERVED MANA NEGATIVE 28? - pathofmatth: use focus amulet, free blessing aura from march of the legion style Claw Bases: (22) Any until Blinder (26) Avoid Timeworn (30) Sparkling Claw (36) Double Claw - Mana gained on Hit OP (57) Twin Claw - MGoH (72) Gemini Claw - MgoH Act1 - Galvanic - Onslaught - Mirage Archer Gems at 4 - War Banner -

This build attempts to leverage 3.19 Fortify, Arctic Armour, Cloak of Flames, Mokou's Embrace, and 100% of elemental and physical damage taken as fire to create a tanky meme build with passable damage. 90% Max Fire res is achieved Exarch boot mod, Fire res small cluster, 4% from tree, and 7% from Purity of Fire. 100% taken as is achieved with Sublime Vision, PoF Watcher's, Helmet warband/delve mod, Cloak of Flames, Dawnbreaker, and Tasalio, Cleansing Water (Chieftain ascendancy). A perfectly rolled Dawnbreaker isn't actually nee

So I tried to get as tanky as possible without using any of the mentioned mechanics. Turns out you can get permanent uptime on 4 utility flasks on any class with a flask belt+the 4 pointer flask cluster near elusive nodes and The Traitor Keystone. Without such a belt you would just drop the less duration mods on the flasks and get %chance to avoid, has the same effect basically. That, coupled with 3 points into max res solves ele mitigation, pretty much. This means for 7 points we can get roughly as much as suppression would net us

Last league i played around with sunder and echoes of creation, was a little burnout but the damage was there as an STR stacker. Around 6ish life, max block 79/78/78 mas res, 40ish armour and 5 endurance charges. Since you generate rage with berserker it's not that bad to play, healing from the warcries is nice too. But how to push further the damage? I got stuck around 7m damage and 1800STR. Pushing damage was hard and survivability too since we cant block spells and suppression is too hard to grab, due to a lot of uniques. Perhaps pushing to slot omniscience is the answer? POB : https://

From what we've seen so far, do you guys think zerker with rage and impale would be a good choice for 3.19? Here's a quick pob I threw together (not sure if I'm calculating the dps of it correctly but it looks promising). Perhaps the new buffed chieftain node will also make fire conversion good, but I doubt it will change a lot. Doesn't need anything special, just a decent axe. I think it will be a good league starter and ssf build, but I'm worried about defences. But then again defences are getting gutted so may as well go full

I started building a new league starter (hopefully no balance changes to SC) and think that I have a pretty refined idea for budget Shield Crush utilizing some cheap uniques. Watchers Eye (Single Mod) is really the only item that may be expensive to work towards as a goal in the first week, but impale is pretty non-meta right now. Overall nothing too crazy or innovative but think its worthy of a league start. POB has no cluster, gem quality, flasks, Eldritch mods, or berserk buff. Amazing shields are pretty cheap or easy to craft with Rog Should be able to hit 5 Mil DPS by end of week 1 or

I decided to not make a full Guide for this Build as it is more or less a in between Build of 2 or 3 of my Guides, which you can find at: But as I though it isn't a bad Build and I had quite some fun playing it, I decided to post it here. It is insanely tanky and the Damage isn't bad either. But it isn't cheap ... Here is the PoB: Not as polished as the PoBs I release with Guides, but hey, maybe someone likes the Build. &x200B; In case you de
