3.22 CHANGES < - Leveling section now uses Spectral Throw, as the Duelist leveling meta settled on that and it's simple to play - As of writing this guide we don't have any info yet on the numbers on the new support gems, keep a look out for Sadism support though, this might beat out Elemental Damage With Attacks or Ignite Proliferation. - Even if Sadism doesn't beat another support gem endgame, it might be better before you have Dyadian Dawn. - Volatility might turn out to be good(only the strongest ignite stays on the enemy)

Just put together this quick pob as I want to make a tanky minion char which uses fresh meat support on league start. Wanted to try dominating blow but as I understand it wont work with fresh meat (refresh vs create/summon) Divine blessing setup will be replaced with guardians blessing new support (can summon holy relic out regen without vitality?) This is why the no mana for haste error. No clusters to simulate SSF league start. Config is to simulate fresh meat, dps shown is on a 5link. Looking for any blaring mistakes/optimizations to improve, im pretty unsure on levelling strat also ho

TL;DR| Pob link here: ---|--- Quick Explanation | A level 24 creeping frost skill gem is used to simulate the expected damage of a level 20 FB skill gem (based on comparisons with Searing Bond.) On Shako, I've added a 410% more damage over time modifier to simulate the level 30 version of the skill (based on searing bond's scaling.) There is a non Shako version under the Default tab, which is just a down-grade in practically every regard. Both use Supreme Ostentation, because league reasons. Build is fully built, but not optimized. There is almost certainly better

TLDR: Frozen Legion possibly (i.e. not confirmed or hinted at by anyone at GGG AFAIK) scales similarly to Shockwave, gaining CDR and EAD please please please remember to cross-check when gem information is dropped and do not take this as gospel - it is hypothetical although at least an educated guess It's a decent 6th link for average attack speed builds It might be mainable if your weapon is exceptionally slow, but Heatshiver is likely the most straightforward way to scale it for now. 4 sample builds to get your own theorycrafting started, although those

With all the flak 3.19 got, i wanted to share my experience of it, from a casual, 5-15 hours per week point of view. Builds i played were quite meta, but with probably less effort put on them than average player. The gear does reflect it, but there are couple items i got very lucky, and happy with. Probably pretty average result you might get given the same amount of time played. Gearing was quite tough early on, as before the soft nerf on arch-nem crafting was almost non-existant with my starter RF. Essences were scarce, harvest was gutted and drops were low. After buffs things got better, w

This is a build I'm planning to league start. It probably does and will suck. But I'd be happy for feedback on it anyway. Maybe there are other players like me who don't assume that all these fancy things people put on builds are attainable and want a no-budget ssf build, or this build may just be useful input to someone somehow. It's got 100% spell supp, 13k max phys hit, 90% evasion, and 110k dps. This is without shock, onslaught or power charges (though I am doing shock, onslaught and assassins mark on hit). It uses smoke

I've got a ton of hours in PoE and want to league start a selfmade build in SSF this upcoming league. The idea is to use arc in a 6 link (with overcharge support) to deliver fat shocks and to use a 6 linked lightning conduit for actual damage. Im not worried about the damage numbers etc since PoB isn't updated yet and all that, but how does the tree/links look? All items I put in the build are also very basic. Also a crit build since I really need the damage considering trickster will be a low damage ascendancy. I'll be taking p
