I'd like to introduce a tanky alternative to the traditional TS Deadeye.As with deadeye, you don't want to start TS, this applies to Champion as well. You start off with LA/IS/Galvanic/... or RoA for phys then switch when you think TS won't suck (+2 arrows bare minimum, likely even later). This isn't a full guide, just PoBs with variations of skilltrees/gems, so if you need handholding this isn't the place. The +2 proj on the tree prompted the builds, as I previously enjoyed a phys Impale champion back in... I honestly don't even remember, the character is gone too, so... Disclaimer: Built

Been trying to build a Storm Brand Raider for HCSSF because of the following synergies: - Onslaught gives MS and damage - Frenzy Charges double dip with More Damage and Cast Speed - Easy acces to Spell Suppression & Elemental Ailment Avoidance - Can path through Armour and Evasion nodes on my way to the Brand Nodes - Can path to a lot of Mana Reservation Efficiency However I seem to hit a ceiling in both damage and survivability. Especially Damage. I'm looking for a secondary skill that could boost single target, but I don't see it. Tried Lightning Spire

This league was by far my most successful. I started out as poison seismic sabo and had a great time. The dps was lackluster for endgame so instead of dumping loads of currency I built a CoC Ice Spear Occultist. That character deleted bosses, especially Lycia; the downside was how squishy it was. I had trouble doing invitations and if I wasn't on point with my timing certain pinnacles would make me use a portal. Not the end of the world, but I HATE dying. So I farmed a ton with a(n) RF jugg (made maps so trivial and since you never die you just zip through everything). That got old and I misse

Elemental Hit Ballista Champion with Wilma's was my favourite build of Sanctum (SSF btw) and it gets massive buffs for 3.21: ~~Reliable "covered in ash" via Xoph's Blood buffs~~ \+2 Proj from tree 100% increased Damage with Hits against Ignited Enemies Transfer Mark Mastery \+1 max all res (from Reservation Mastery) The character had around 8m shaper dps and manages to hit 13.5m shaper dps with changes (if 3.21 dev pob is correct). ~~3.21 pob:~~ ~~ 3.20 pob

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone tried poison spark in e.g. SSF setting and got some results on a cookie cutter setup. The prevalent variants all use ashes and alt qual which is actually perfectly achievable and a comparably decently low entry point for an all content viable build but ofc we're always trying to go lower. I've theorycrafted a very basic poison spark trickster, using the old fans favourite vulkuurs guidance, cospris will for +1 curse and guaranteed poison and fat ES, singularity as a cheap damage source and shavronnes revelation to get huge ES and decentish mana regen.

Hey guys! It's my first time playing SSFHC a bit more seriously and I decided on Goratha's Spark Inquis. After ripping 3 times, I managed to put together this version of the build: Right now I'm looking for more ways to improve my damage as the build feels pretty bad for bossing and sanctum (I usually can't get through the third floor in red tier sanctums). Stuff that I already have on my to-do list: - helmet focus craft - getting the timeless jewel - crafting a better wand (what's the best way to go about this?) I added the sanctified relic I'm using in the

I dropped said Body Armour early into the league and got very lucky 6-linking it. For those who don't know, it's the Heist Unique that lets you freeze with all damage at a higher effectiveness. Now what I'm trying to do is combining the strong freezes with high damage rolls of lightning skills and because I love the skill I'm going with Arc for the moment. Here's the PoB of my SSF Templar: While the plan to instafreeze Sanctum Guardians up to T16 map bosses works really well there are some roadblocks that are hard to overcome, na

I'm looking for ideas on how to improve this build and make it have respectable single target damage without compromising too much on league-start viability. I would rather have good defense and a little bit slower clear/bosskills as I plan to run this in hardcore, potentially even ssf. Is this even practically playable? &x200B; POB: The idea is: stack defensive auras on your own mana, and stack offensive auras on the totems (acting similarly to divine blessing but for each totem you can have another aura) - and use a c

Hello there - Self-Cast Voltaxic Burst on Trickster is a build that I have been iterating on since it's introduction in 3.15. Despite being a relatively new player when it was introduced, I began trying to make my own build with it because I like to improve at the games I play. Up until yesterday, I have not played this build since the third week of the league or so. The build that I have constructed was able to clear T16s and reach level 95 in SSF this league. A caveat before I post the PoB link: I transferred from SSF to Trade league yesterday in order to acquire an Esh

Hello Reddit. I'm a big lover of Divine Ire and a SSF only enjoyer. I've been playing Divine Ire almost exclusively since it was added to the game, theres just something about building around a huge beam that has the possibility to deal a lot of damage in one hit. So i've recently spent a lot of time making my magnum opus Divine Ire build for SSF. And i think im quite happy with what i've come up with; Thoughts and elaborations. I believe going low life with petrified for pain attunement is an obvious choice, as well for righteous fire for that massiv
