PoE Cold, Bossing builds

This is not a bossing build. Let's get that out of the way first and foremost. You can boss on it, but the dps will be WAY LOWER. So I was doing some help with another players White Wind build and the comments are full of people maligning White Wind as trash and unusable. I wanted to prove at least in concept that you can make a high damage tanky mapper using a 1c unique weapon and no shield. I picked the silliest skill I could think of being Wild Strike. Specifically so I could run a 50/50 fire/cold version. Nothing feels more PoE than hitting for Fire and Cold with a lightning skill that

Hello all, I was heavily inspired by Velyna and Mathil's build guides for EConc and decided to give it a try. I tinkered with some of the tree and gear and took what I thought were the best parts of both guides. Major differences include the use of impossible escape to save ~7 points and herald of ice for better clear POB: Build highlights: Burst DPS: 14.4m (assuming all 5 projectiles hit, melee range, berserk + focus on) Average DPS: 6m (no proj distance specified, 0 rage, no focus, no berserk) 4.3k life, 23k armour (with flask up, no MS/VMS), spell s

DISCLAIMER: I have not actually played this build in any way yet and 3.18 is when I'll possibly try it, so it could have periods of build progress where its shit before it becomes good, or just be shit forever. DISCLAIMER 2: This is NOT intended to be a day 1 all uber bosses killed build with all magic gear like DD, but one that can function early without needing gear in SSF but will also feel rewarding to build it up as you play throughout the league. Build Features Ethics Not DD, Seismic, EA +++ Hit based attack build +++ Does not use omniscience +++ Does not use Ashes of Stars ++ Does not

About a week ago I asked about ideas and suggestions for a Replica CIP build that I could try in SSF and with the help of someone providing a rough PoB I set out to give it a go. As I’m sitting at home rn with no power I realized that I’ve made it far enough to show up on PoE Ninja now so I figured I’d write up a quick update on my progress and where I’m trying to go. PoE Ninja Updated PoB, noticed missing qualities and changed Rumi's for Cinderswallow

Here is my build with the gear my character currently has. This is my first attempt at a build made without a guide as a reference so I'd love any feedback. The basic idea is to stack frenzy charges so I started with raider and then went for as many sources of max frenzy charge as possible. Ice bite looked like a good choice of support gem due to the frenzy charge scaling and I chose frost blades as a result. I'm aware that it's not a particularly good skill for bossing so my goal is to get around 2-3m DPS to clear moderately juiced T16s. A note about the gea

Build showcase part 1: level 89 gameplay: Level 95 PoB Preface So I had a few days to play around with the build I posted 5 days ago. I got to level 95 very quickly (for my pace)! After a bunch of tree changes and item upgrades I wanted to give a quick summary. _All gear except for uniques and jewels I either found or crafted_ Pros smooth mapping - For some hipst

Let me preface this masterpiece of a build by saying that I grinded super hard early league, and now that it's died down a bit and I'm a bit burnt out atm I decided to "min-max" the ultimate meme build: Cast on Death. I wanted to take this silly support gem and make something other than just a portal for squishy MFers, so I did some thinking about what I could possibly do to maximize damage, and only one gem came even close: DISCHARGE. I hereby present the ultimate 1-shot boss killer: 1 shotting Drox before he can go invuln w/ 2man hp:

DISCLAIMER: This isn't meant to be a guide but a proof of concept. While I did play this character straight from day 1 of the league, I don't really recommend it early because it's a bit clunky before Divergent Berserk and Lethal Pride appeared on trade which was around day 3, and also the playstyle is really active. Thought I'd share the idea behind the build I used to get 38 Challenges this league. Buffs to self-cast this league made me once again reconsider the viability of Fanaticism, a buff intended to be used for self-casters provided by Instruments of Zeal from the Inquisitor ascendan
