PoE 3.23 Affliction SSF builds

PLAYSTYLE < Clear < For clear you just place down ballistas and run. Bossing < You can start a fight by having all your totems up and ready, then as soon as the boss is targetable use your infernal cry and press focus. During the fight you want to keep to your totem limit all the time. You also want to use your frenzy setup to keep frenzy charges up. Only when you have time for it you want to cast your Arcanist Brand, this is the lowest priority since it's a little unreliable on bosses that move anyway. LEVELING < Be warned that the leveling experience on this is not as smoot

The Build The endgame setup should look like this: You max out on your Scorching Ray totems and then add as much Searing bond bois as you can alongside them without replacing the Scorching ray totems. The reason for this is because every additional totem active adds 5% mroe damage to everything and since searing bond comes with +3 to additional totems and we can add multiple totems on top of it they are the perfect choice in a build that relies on DoT damage which simultaneously buffs them. You need to hit an enemy with Flame dash or cast it twice to apply Arcane Surge. Additionall

Looking for some upgrades/improvements. Playing ssf and collected some gear which I threw together. Still have to craft some of the rare armour and jewellery but everything else is there (except the taste which I have to divine down to the correct %) Haven't played penance brand yet so I don't know if the dps is calculated correctly and how long the energy stays on for. Build Features 100% physical to elemental Taste of hate + topaz and ruby flask Permeant pathfinder life flask regen Bloodnotch + defiance of destiny

Gearing notes: - Tincture: Lightning Pen and Melee Strike range. They're not terribly expensive, and my perfect rolled on cost me 1 div. I like to prioritize the range over the pen, because I like hitting monsters from the other side of rivers. Might be able strike range out for splash, or rage on hit, and get more damage, but then you'd probably be running different tinctures for different content, and I just want to be lazy. - Helm: Anything ES here. Crown of Thorns is a nice starter. Get resistance, get something better than what I have. - Weapon

Rage Hold: Just wanted to share the thing I managed to make with literally my last jewellery recombinator and a crusader's orb slam. It took a total of 15 divines for perfect rolls (1 for prefixes, 14 for suffixes) Finally got something worth using the mirror I found a year ago! And yes caster catalyst is around ~1% more dmg than crit catalyst for the planned build (not a completely ready plan yet but quite close) Hot take: SSF STD is the best dad gamer league

This has been one of my favourite league starts ever. I forgot how smooth perm minions are to play, and the Kuduku spectres shock nova is basically screen wide with the 30% minion AoE mastery. There's obviously a ton of improvements and gear upgrades to make, this is just a rough SSF friendly week one target. Spectres are Spirit of Fortune, found from the pink vendor in the league mechanic. You can farm the spectre corpses in a10 desecrated chambers. In-fact, it's easier to do so since you can keep resetting the zone, perfect spectres are much more common in campaign, and the corpse pool at

Hello you fine people. Because i always get invested in conversations about the Maw of Mischief / Death Wish build i thought, i make a post of my own so i can just link it in the future. Im not saying its the best version of the build. I know there are plenty of ways to play it and i know the version of mine is not the most softcore way of building it. Feel free to comment and / or tell me if theres something you would change or something i just missed. --- Lets start with the pob: Its a mix of items from past seasons and some created ones so its not maxed ou

I've been more successful than I anticipated on my homebrewed power siphon totems build and wanted to show it off a bit as well as get some help. I haven't had a lot of time to play so I've been pretty broke, and to be honest it hasn't been the best starter for making money, but all things considered the build has been pretty good to me. At this point I've probably spent about 2 div total, and have been easily doing the league mechanic in T16 maps (not super juiced, but no issues even with delirium mirror and abyss). It's been extra easy to gear because Aegis Aurora is dirt cheap this league.

IMPORTANT FOR HARDCORE: Pick "Speaker of the Dead" on the tree and never run "map boss is possessed" on your maps. There's a ghost that disables your flasks and you don't want to meet that on this build, especially if you cap your resists using flasks. IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE: For the endgame setup you want BOTH Taste of Hate AND Lightning Coil. If you don't have that yet make sure to swap both your skillset and gearset to the pre-coil versions. 3.23 CHANGES < The biggest change from 3.23 is that the 10% AoE from Toxic Rain quality got replaced by d
