PoE White Wind, Trap builds

Basically the cookie cutter uniques in the title to leverage damage, spectral throw/spectral helix multi hit mechanic to scale damage (PoB is configured for single hit, should be x4 for spectral throw and like x2.5 for spectral helix). Wind Ward + Wind Dancer for defenses, although the build is by no means a defensive powerhouse, just 95% evade if hit recently and some basic mitigation. I put starter in many quotation marks because heatshiver/yoke and lethal pride can be kinda expensive so I dont wanna advertise it as a full blo

I've tried to explore alternate defensive setups for a couple of archetypes and this is what I've came up with for Pure Evasion Characters. I've chosen Deadeye on purpose because its quite a bit easier to get a lot of Evasion on Raider. This build uses the lowest tier of the Body Armour Flask per 3 sec Implicit and the utility flask charges gained mastery to permanently maintain 5 flasks (Jade Flask has only 92% uptime so a good chunk of a second downtime sadly). Again we Convert around 55% of our phys Damage taken to Elemental

This is my helix raider pob that I made as a potential league starter. Uses Replica Mistwall, Acrobatics, and Wind Dancer (Ghost Shrouds too, but those are just a small bonus). Don't know how else I could improve it while keeping it at a league start budget. POB:

10 Days ago or so I posted my White Wind Deadeye Starter, now I thought it would be nice to give an Endgame update and some thoughts. Levelling: Had a late start (sunday morning), bought some leveling weapons for the random currency I dropped, helped me clear campaign in 4:30, nothing special but Helix is top tier for going fast. Mapping: White Wind+5L, Capped Res, Capped Suppression and basic Defiance Banner+grace+determination setup was enough to clear exarch and eater questline, swapped to 6l and better jewelry once progression started to slow down in high red maps. Bossing: Everything I

After playing similar variants over the last few patches I've worked on a White Wind Helix Deadeye for this league. This build only has a bunch of rares with spell suppression, elemental resistances and attributes to cover int/str requirements. An exception are the gloves which have 2 of the most impactful eldritch implicits which you should be able to consistently hit while naturally progressing your exarch/eater quest line. If you tick off the flasks the config drops to 4.5Mil/33k Max Hit which is still very respectable. The PoB has a couple of points allocated in QoL nodes, adjust this t

Hey guys, reviewed my 3.16 league starter - now featuring more armour. After some playtesting, I also dropped Herald of Ice because it did not add a lot towards clear (not as much as commonly anticipated). With 45k phys/90k ele damage max hit taken (10k hit PoB Input), this build is quite tanky despite its low HP pool. If you have Molten shell up, this goes up to 70k/160k. Real DPS might be a bit lower - you need a couple of seconds till you get power charges and frenzy charges from Assassins Mark, then you also need to have t

Hey, recently started theorycrafting possible league starters. I tried to rely mostly on proven concepts. In this build this happens to be Spectral Helix, a bit of Elusive stacking, Spell Suppression (may get nerfed but It is so easy to cap with Raider so it will still be used). With just Frenzy Charges (Raider), Elusive (refreshed with Withering Step regularly) and Chill (Vortex+Bonechill on LMB) ticked against a Sirus config, this setup nets 3.6Mil Dps assuming 2 Hits (should be the average) but with good positioning, 3 hits are possible; this would net 5.4 Mil dps. Build is a bit glass ca
