Hey guys, I'm asking for some ideas/critique/help with my possible Lighting Tendies starter for 3.17 Some highlights of the build: Defenses: 20k+ armour, Petrified Blood, 2,1k Elemental Aegis, Reflect Immune, 1k ES, 5k+ Health, Corrupted Blood Immunity, Shock Immune, Reduced effect on chill and ignite (50%+) Life Recovery: 400 hp regen, 1k hp leech, 50% damage taken recouped as life, 3% life recovered on kill 1,3m current dps, should be around 3m dps with Phantasmal gem in 3.17.

I've put together a quite well rounded Lightning Tendrils build, got some passable defenses and regeneration as well as pretty acceptable damage with 2x6 links (Tendrils + Orb of Storms). I've put in 60% more multiplier in the general config which is a pretty conservative estimate on what the damage will be in this league. With the removal of the Orb of Storms internal CD and the sick buff to the main skill I think this can work out quite well. The gear is not terribly expensive (other than 6L) and playtested the concept it zooms pretty hard on lightning warp

Concept needs re-work. Read comments for explanations. Disclaimer: This build is completely untested, hence the theory tag. All I have to go off of, is what the wiki says about life flasks not being removed on full life. I unfortunately don't have the time, resources (see: PoE friends,) or items to test out to what extent this build does, or does not function. If everything works the way I think it does, this is easily one of the most broken support builds out there, but I am not confident on all of the mechanics. Take everything in here with a grain of salt. I'm not trying to sell

This is a build I've been working on: Basically I wanted to make use of Melding of the Flesh. Since Agnerod South gives 5% Maximum Lightning Resistance, I thought it would be fun to build something around this. As such, we have: Agnerod of the South (5%) Purity of Lightning (5%) Prismatic Skin (2%) Helmet (2%) Then we need 1 more % from somewhere. I decided to just go with Breathstealer and throw in Soul of Steel for the last 1%. This makes it so all your elemental resistances are 90%. I'm using Purity of Elements for the

< I posted this as a few comments in threads earlier this week as a response to possible league starters. After giving it a trial run I'm pretty sure this will be my start. Pathed to cold conversion as opposed to phys to lightning support as i had earlier, this helped defensively and wasn't really losing damage. Too much cold to go trinity though unfortunatly. But leveling was a breeze once i got DI. Got upto tier 12's on a 4 link and with the crap gear currently able to complete t16's, need gear upgrades though to really b

Hi friends! I really want to make flameblast work without totems. If someone can give me some feedback on my PoB I made, that'd be great. I'll value and appreciate any feedback. PoB \- The thought process was as follows Problem \- Flameblast needs a lot of cast speed and mana so I can maybe make it feel good Solution \- Use Instruments of Zeal to get mana regen plus 75% cast speed. Problem \- Gaining Fanatacism without too much pain. Solution \- Frenzy as my attack, spellsplinger to toss some fireballs

Theorycrafted this build around the cheap Consuming dark daggers, ideal for league start. Capped spell suppression, decent critical strike chance, 4k life and 3k Energy shield. No armour whatsover (need flasks to fix this). Cast speed rolls might be a bit generous. Onslaught boots to further maximize your cast speed for really smooth gameplay. Higher Evasion rating would be desirable. Reminds me of chaos incinerate occultist in 3.3 which felt pretty great, maybe I try this as a second character. Edit: if you swap in Immolate

So far ive made some decent progress in the build, its just shy of 1mil avg hit and 7mil full dps (20 stack release), and essentially maxed block (74% attack block sadly so 1% off max.) and it has 100% crit rate. The only real issue is its going to be a pain to build, not because its made of crazy expensive items, but because its an all unique item build (minus the belt), because every piece has to be corrupted for the defenses to work and it would be a massive pain to craft and risk bricking a bunch of rares. So I'm looking for any tips or advice to better optimize this build essentially.

ADD Ele res to items, you do need res cap, 75/75/75. Pick 1 Warcry. Cyclone - Remember -mana cost on rings! Turn off 50 rage without cluster (Bloodscent) (Swap Pulv vs close combat) infusion: on Bloodstorm: off I suggest Enduring Cry for cyclone as you CANNOT exert Cyclone! As you gear up and reach 6-7k life you should switch to "First to Strike, Last to Fall" over Unstoppable Hero. you won't be stunned much with the larger hp pool. Early on the stun immunity is very nice because being stunned to death feels terrible! NOTE: Belt of the Deciever adds intimidate, so does First to Strike. Yo

Maybe a better Watcher's Eye? Are there any serious upgrades you guys can see I should make asap? Thank you!

So, I was watching Jaamon's channel on Youtube (good Youtuber, good builds in general, recommend this guy) and he put up a pretty solid rolling magma ignite build. I worked at it a bit based off his stuff and came with this idea of using stormbind + blackflame + Eber's unification + incandescent heart. It turned out pretty well, but only in theory. Just a note, I haven't played this at all. This is not a post to say "go play this build" or "this is going to be great in 3.17". None of the build is insanely pricey. Blackflame is like 2ex. IH 6 link is probably 2 ex. Matyr is like 40c. Most of

So, let me first start by saying I am really loving this build. I just got a souped-up PC that cost a fortune, and I cannot believe I ever played on my MacBook from 2015. I more-or-less stopped dying (except L83 Harvest) and splurged on two Awakened Gems. My question is what is my next step? What 2-3 items do I aim to upgrade, or stats to garner, or points to re-allocate? I am blowing M16 out of the water, map bosses can sometimes be hairy at the end.

I think that's the way to link. Had this on my pob when checking for damage. Don't know if I changed anything since Forgot to mention staff mastery 30% inc defenses is huge. 14% life as es on chest. Leech from the cluster jewel as well as es leech from elemental mastery I believe. It ain't huge but it's still sweeeet. Since channeling can be dangerous I also said 5 hits per second like a dumbo. It's a lot more but I am too dumb to do quick maths. 20-25 balls each hitting every 0.4 seconds.

Build is really, really fun, but also very weak damage against bosses while also being a glass cannon. The clear, even in T14 maps, was actually pretty ok. Main problem is the amount of investment into damage, Armour, and Life (scaling a lot off of Strength) only to find that it's not enough for either damage or survivability. Likely held back on the focus on primarily scaling damage via Strength, physical damage, and elemental damage (all kinds thanks to conversion, especially Fire though), since all my damage is affected by these types. Perhaps with looking at other Strength stacking builds,
