PoE Shield Crush, Champion of the Cause builds

After Nemesis mods kicked my first build around to much I looked into a more defensive type of build. My idea was to build around the Transcendence keystone and stacking armour. What catched my eye was the 3.19 newly buffed Lightning Coil (50% phys to lightning). It is a perfect fit for the build since you want to convert 100% physical damage from hits to elemental. I found a single profile that went with the idea and had some interesting items: Replica Dreamfather, Formless Inferno and Emperor's Vigilance. The ascendancy was Pathfinder for permanent flask uptime. We stack armour and fire

Video of T16 Maps, Sirus, Eater, Drox, Harvest etc: &x200B; Im Sorry, i fucked up the aspect ratio or something, it doesnt show the whole screen lmao. I think its because I recorded in Window mode. I wanted to share this super cheap Build i am currently playing. It requires 3 key unique items. \[The Devouring Diadem\] + \[Emperor's Vigilance\] + \[Seething Fury\]. I am playing this build on SSF, but I advice to not start playing it on SSF as a League Starter. On Trade League though, this will work just fine, as the Uniq

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

Leveling I'm not great at rushing through the campaign but I used splitting steel. If you get the Titucius' Span shield, you can With mana reservation implicits, you can anoint disciple of the slaughter instead of charisma. Panopticon is still the best anoint for single target DPS with ancestral totems but I like the flexibility of not being force to always have the totems placed. For ailment immunity before grand spectrums, you need to bench craft the betrayal "chance to avoid elemental ailments" suffix onto your boots and body armour. I planned the bench craft into the build items sinc

Wanted to see how good the new emperors can be utilized converting it to cold with new hrimsorrow and scaling crit with inquisitor and seething fury. This is my take: Note: Definetely do not recommend using this as a starter, while you definetely not need much of the insane gear im using here the uniques it uses will definetely be insanely expensive early on in the league. Also if you have any feedback i would like to hear it, last time i played a shield build was in expedition so especially the tree is kinda jank

Leadership's Price tree requires balancing your strength/dex with suffixes on rare gear

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

Firstly, the PoB - About the PoB - When initially brought up, the PoB will show a basic level 90 tree and have some fairly budgeted gear to emulate an early-mid range red map setup. The only truly expensive piece will be a Ryslatha's Coil, everything else is generic rare gear with a few needed stats as well as a mid range Crown of the Inward Eye, which might cost a bit in the first few days but will quickly fall in price as the league goes into next week. Also, the damage shown does not include both Warchief and Protector totems

Hey, been building a GC SC Zerker, just wondering whether or not POB actually calculates this skill DPS correctly Happy for any other feedback too. Trying to be pretty tanky and use shield charge impale with COS to help with clear

------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------CHEAT SHEET--------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SHIELDS: Shields are shown with specific values to show damage at those armor levels. Uniques are shown with mid-roll modifiers unless the uniques are very cheap (max attributes Carnage Heart). LEVELLING: Levelling trees are general recommendations. If you feel squishy or feel like your damage sucks, pick up damage/life nodes as needed. Make sure to keep upgrading your weapon with t

This is my first attempt at creating a build from scratch (3,479 hours played First PoB from scratch, still very much a noob but I gotta start somewhere). I started with 2 items, the Brass Dome + Replica Dream Feather, and the Jugg ascendancy that doubles armour. My goal was to build damage through stacking armour. Through research from ThisIsBadger/PoB videos and randomly discovering uniques (The formless flame) I've put together what I think could be a solid build with some more guidance and useful tidbits that you all may know. One thing to note is that I don't know how to add the new e
