PoE 3.23 Affliction Duelist builds

Just wrapping up 40/40 in Affliction SC today, so I figured I'd share and archive my league in case anyone was remotely curious. I opened with a Shield Charge Elementalist at league start (Very good build honestly, I just became disillusioned with not being able to do the league mechanic at T16 and so I was speedfarming T8-T10 Wisps in Strand/Glacier/Cemetery. Little did I know...) and quickly flipped over to a Triple CounterAttack Slayer, followed by a Facebreakers Reckoning Gladiator, and lastly a Bear Trap Ignite Chieftain. I think I got bacteria in my brain at Christmas or something. Tr

Hello fellow poe build scientists, &x200B; TLDR: use scold's to 100% trigger Vengeance by gem quality stacking. Using call of steel to shotgun big rares. Mediocre damage and no defenses. Looking for your ideas on how to improve, or build differently. When I saw how they changed vengeance gem quality I had this idea, but I got caught up in the MF train and only started thinking about it now. It is a little bit convoluted but in POB it at least look half decent with mediocre gear. Here me out. Vengeance's quality got changed to 20% trigger chance at 20 quality, thus by putting it in a

Hi wanted to share whats probably the best build i ever made, today i killed all of the ubers, i think the only i ever killed before was shaper. This build is fast, has insane dps and it isnt tanky per se but its definetely not zhp. The idea behind it is to abuse power charge stacking with badge of the brotherhood and ralakesh boots. With this you probably should go CI assassin but i went for a slayer. Slayer gives us 11 max endurance AND brutal charges with arns anguish, overleech is always nice and 20% cull is great dmg as well for bosses. Use replica restless ward for huge movement spe

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

So thank you to those who recommended going with Splitting Steel, going really well. My question is, beyond swapping my 2nd ring out, gaining a level to utilise a "That Which Was Taken" jewel (chance to gain power charge + crit chance with max charges, got a spare point in large cluster to move), to then change my charms around for some impales ones... Would that be as far as it would be worth it to min-max? I've only got around 30 divs leftover, so the choice is to save for the upgrades if worth it, or save all upcoming divs for a new PF FR build. It seems if I go the Forbidden Flame/Fl
