PoE League Starter, Cold, Critical builds

Quick Showcase: Gear, Tree, Minotaur map Main POB: Pob of the test run: I've been wanting to move to SSFHC and complete all the content with my own build. I love casting spells, but it's always a struggle league starting them due to how hard it is to obtain cast speed on gear. So I looked into trappers/miners. Icespear deadeye miner turned out pretty good. The video is with pretty much bare minimum gear. I've been busy with work, so I couldn't go hard in farming for harvest and essences. But t

Hi, a little showcase of me dying to Sirus 8 :) but you can see the dps coming through, if only Sirus didn't blink every second it would've been cleaner and faster but oh well. here's PoB if anyone is curious, it was my league starter, the gems are not even max level and the gear is really bad, one could say its SSF since I play trade league but didnt trade with anyone:

Hey there, weary exile. I hope you're as hyped for league start as i am. I've thought about league starting Poisonous Concoction Pathfinder, and came up with this PoB. I'm wondering what you guys think, and if there's a better angle to approach it. Damage seems to be okay (?) if calculating with the 300% increased damage mastery and an conservative approach of 3 poison hits/"shotgunning". 36k Poison DPS \ 3 \ 3 = 342k DPS 133k Total Damage Per Poison (3.6s duration) \ 3 \ 3 = 1.2m DPS My defenses however, are all

Looking for some discussion on this theorycraft and its potential as a league starter. PoB: For the most part, this is a fairly typical Poison Pathfinder build. In that sense, I think this (or any other Poison) build will do well at league start. Especially so with the new Mastery node for Poison that grants 300% increased damage on first application. I've also looked into some synergies for this build to grow into that I'd like to discuss. Lethe Shade Lethe Shade seems like a fairly mediocre node which gives a small upside

After torturing myself with possibly the most clunky earthshatter slam build last league, I've decided to return to the good ol' Cyclone CoC archetype. Mostly inspired by this build ( and the relative juiciness of PF TR to league start post-patch, Pathfinder looks like an overall top-tier class in which to invest. ​ Obviously, this endgame min-maxed PoB will still be able to do all content with ~200m DPS, but the question is whether a mid-range build that transitions from TR at 20-30 ex investment will suffice for elder/shaper guardians and above. The build ad

Hello folks, ^(umm) lets get started i guess. i have a lot of experience in PoE, played way more hours than i'm afraid to know. Completed every milestone i set for myself, and after all this time, there is a time for a level 100 and that time is now. That means having a build that can clear very fast, and be very tanky. I usually theory craft builds myself generally "stealing" some pointers from other builds and making the build as i see fit which works out very well. ^(most of the time.) So in a nutshell i designed a build that wont die, and will clear very well so i can get that sweet 100
