I'd like to introduce a tanky alternative to the traditional TS Deadeye.As with deadeye, you don't want to start TS, this applies to Champion as well. You start off with LA/IS/Galvanic/... or RoA for phys then switch when you think TS won't suck (+2 arrows bare minimum, likely even later). This isn't a full guide, just PoBs with variations of skilltrees/gems, so if you need handholding this isn't the place. The +2 proj on the tree prompted the builds, as I previously enjoyed a phys Impale champion back in... I honestly don't even remember, the character is gone too, so... Disclaimer: Built

Hi guys!, wanted to share an idea I had with Saboteur. So for the people that don't know, certain mines, such as Pyroclasp and Icicle mine, the former gives a decent chunk of fire damage based on how many mines are near an enemy, while the last one gives crit chance up to 500%. So what's the deal, well, Sabo has 150% Aura effect of mines on the ascendancy, the tree offer 30%, the alt quality pyroclasp gives 20%, Ashes boost it to 50%, for a total of 230% Aura Effect. This is a 3.3 Multiplier for the following: [3.3x](

TL;DR - I think you can become very tanky as a living punching bag but have no idea how you would actually finish a map sometime before the league ends. There is a new stun mastery that reads Gain Adrenaline when Stunned, for 2 seconds per 100ms of stun duration Using Valyrium or the Stun Threshold ES mastery, you can essentially turn every other hit into a stun if you keep your pool of es tiny and don't leech any. Now of course standing still and tanking hits in this game is absolute suicide, but because you will be gaining adrenaline on every hit you can use First to Stri

First time making my own build and to be honest I have no clue if what I put together is a) playable and b) not complete dogpoop. Here is the PoB: Its very barebones. No Flasks, no uniques or special items, nothing ticked in config and the gems aren't filled out yet. It already has around 500k dps without using a second curse (allocated points in WoD just for reference) and without the vaal version. To me this seems pretty great but I have no clue if its actually playable. I am not set on hiero, just used it because I wanted to see what impact arcane surge

I've been trying to cook and pretty much have concluded that using Prismatic Burst as a main skill will end up underwhelming (without Shako at least). (Rolling Magma has similar base damage and same damage effectiveness so should pretty accurately reflect PB DPS) Here's my non-budget lvl 100 take using mine auras to get almost 7x damage as well as Annihilating Light. I've gotten enough CDR so PB has a 2.52 hit rate which matches perfectly with lvl 1 Static Strike's 2.5 beam hit rate. This ends up with a build that has a clunky play

im still a noob so can a smarter person improve this? if u have the time in the upcoming patch notes lightning tendrils got buffed and guarantees crit every 3 pulses so i kinda want to combine it the new arcane surge ( grants cast speed instead of spell damage) so it's kinda easier now to proc Elemental overload it's a little clunky (2 buttons: hydropshere then lightning tendrils) and slow pob : (lightning tendrils and arcane surge is not updated yet in pob so dps might change) what u guys think?

Tree/build listed here is not to be used; just repurposed a PoB from something else with lots of mana regen to test numbers in. Interesting build idea: mana stacker + Indigon + Battlemage's Cry + Manaforged Arrows + Bow attack skill - scale bow attack mana cost for manaforged arrows buff and Indigon increased spell damage, which Battlemage's Cry converts back into attack damage; Indigon ramps that mana cost higher, which ramps the spell damage increase and thus the Battlemage's Cry attack damage buff, while also increasing the manaforged arrows buff. Heavily depends on precise numbers: the m

How is my plan/build looking for the current state of POE? Feel free to give opinions/advices! I won't be focusing that much on bossing, but i would not mind if i could try some of the new stuff.
