PoE 3.21 Crucible Area builds

Hi all! I really like explosive arrow and this time I decided to do not a standard build. I wanted to make something very fast and with relatively good DPS, and I think I succeeded. Everyone says that non-ignit EA's clearing speed is bad because we don't have Ignite Proliferation, but I made this build on Standard and to be honest the clearing speed is really good and not worse than Ignite version (Instead of Conc Effect I use Increased Area for more AOE explosion). Also in 3.21 we got a good mastery: 15% increased maximum Life if there are no Life Modifiers on Equipped Body Armour (for S

alot of people are planing to go pathfinder toxic rain, i made myself toxic rain champion couple days ago, dunno which is better to go as starter any pros and cons on both ascendancies? &x200B;

I really wanted to make use of the Master Surgeon and the Sorrow of the Divine Flask interaction so I tried to combo them with the Trialmaster shield. Other than that, Master Surgeon's synergy with petrified blood inspired me to go Low Life and scale hit based chaos spell, therefore Forbidden Rite. Here is what I come up with: I have never played FR before so I took inspiration from some Occultists in poe.ninja. Let me know if I overlooked anything.

EDIT 1: Prismatic burst doesn't work on spells, so ignore any mention of it. You can try to fit it on Shield Charge 4l, and RF 4l for mapping fast, and use Vaal Firestorm for any singletarget boofing EDIT 2: With Skin of the Lords, use Empower over Cruelty. The bonus skill level makes it a +28 and gigabuffs the damage by almost double. Uniques: and Gear: Use Sporeguard until Skin of lords, with any keystone on tree. It saves you 1 point max. Can experiment with Eldritch Battery or Supreme Ego, no o

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

The life is lacking, couldn't find a way to bump it higher. Dps-wise looking fine, i guess with such numbers it is possible to freeze non-ubers and maybe it will be benefitial to opt for heatshiver, but then we will need to figure out a proper way to cast hydrosphere and i'm lazy. It is hard to tell budget, but i guess it is possible to get everything for under 20div at the middle of first week. Possible a lot less if you selfcraft some parts. Feel free to suggest possible improvements, i'm not good at building)

What do you guys think about this build theory of mine? The main goal and idea with this build is to be relatively easy to build and acquire even in solo self found. To summarize: Hybrid life and energy shield Utilizing both new chaos damage mitigation masteries that will be available with 3.21 55% Low Life with petrified blood Inquisitor Really good sustainability and regen Good damage mitigation and effective hit pool Cremation in Sire of Shards (36 projectiles per second, or 48 with lab enchant) Some additional experimental thoughts/potential

I'm not sure what I am doing here. But I have some thoughts: Gearing: - This is aimed at an SSF leaguestart. I am sure that you could pick up some very useful uniques in trade that would help numbers go BRR (ie Mings Heart, Covenant, Asenath's Gentle Touch). - I literally yoinked all the gear from people who built this on Occultist and Trickster on POE Ninja. Also I straight up copied items with very few changes from Ziz's TR Pathfinder because I wanted Armour/Evasion bases and was too lazy - I think I can get Dark Temptation cards from Delve chests to farm up an Obliteration

(edited because Shattering Steel was lvl 22 from before the Gem Update in PoB to emulate the buff, Ive lowered it to lvl 21 now) I tested this build in Standard with random Gear I crafted that is realistic on League Start. It works really well and is not even considering the changes we are getting in 3.21. I played with 2x Ichimonji and cleared T16 maps. Few things to note: \- 10% chance for Impales to last an additional hit is not taken into account into the DPS in PoB. \- You count as Low Life at 55% Life increases the EHP but

Same thing as the frost blades raider exact same items exact same tree except for the Lethality wheel, I picked Heartseeker. The big deal, however, is Vaal Reave. It'll help tremendously with Mercy lab Izaro and a little later with map bosses. What do you think? Is the lack of AoE a concern?

If EC was a well designed skill then the interesting aspect (flask usage) would be extremely beneficial to the skill. As it is, this is not the case. &x200B; This isn't going to be a math heavy post, but long story short, you can only regenerate so many flask charges, and that number is way lower than what you need to constantly use sapphire/topaz flasks outside pure mapping. The new sapphire/topaz flasks are quite good, but really only modestly better than just slapping on a diamond flask and require massive investment to sustain. The recent 3.21 change to EC which makes you use massive am

CwC WoC Lightpoacher Spirit Charge Stacking Concept (end-game non min-maxed gear PoB) edit: most updated pobs (Low Life) (Low Life with Suppress) This is to hoping the reworked abyss uniques are not all super rare. Trickster 200% increased charge duration + 100% charge duration mastery for 40 second spirit charges. Physical spell converted to elemental. Wave of Conviction was my choice. Generating
