PoE snkns builds

Thought I would make a quick post sharing my build for 3.24 for some visibility. There are 1919 characters on poe.ninja running Summon Holy Relic of Conviction that are life-based. There are only 101 characters on poe.ninja running Summon Holy Relic of Conviction with Chaos Inoculation. This disparity is almost surely due to Balormage and Asmodeus making videos about the life-based build, while I can't find a single video on Youtube showcasing the skill with CI. I think CI is the better path though, and have gotten some questions about it in the la

INTRO/BACKGROUND So I tried out CoC Frostblink of Wintry Blast and it was not to my liking at the budget I had available. Even with good AOE, I'd run into this problem where, on normal hitbox sized mobs, I'd blink a little too far away and have to run back to the mob for a split second before I could trigger again. And even though I've played Flicker Strike many times, I found Frostblink to be a bit too jittery. I decided to see if I could make a good CoC build using the new Bodyswap of Sacrifice gem. I started with a Raider

I commented in a thread about my CI Poison Spark build the other day, and there seemed to be some interest about my approach to what is quite a popular build this league, so I thought I'd make a post.

At 10.31 casts per second (11.27 with Smite active), the build is extremely mobile and generally hits the DOT cap in 2-3 seconds, depending on the arena. I eschew Awakened Deadly Ailments and Awakened Unbound Ailments in favor of A

Saw somebody post their Poison Winter Orb build earlier today and thought I'd share the Poison Ball Lightning I made. It's more or less identical to Poison Spark, both in tree and gameplay feel, except for bossing when I swap gems and rings. You (probably) shouldn't play this? It does feel a tiny bit worse than Poison Spark in doing most things. But it was a nice change of pace for a bit, and I have a strong suspicion that as long as you have an Original Sin, you could get Ball Lightning going farther on a smaller budget than Spark. (i.e. if I had no Mageblood or Nimis or Grand Spectrums e
