PoE SSF builds without Detonate Mines

SSF builds are matched by keywords in titles and notes, so unrelated builds can slip in. Double check a build or ask the creator before committing to it.

I'm just pushing into Yellow Maps as an Axe Boneshatter Juggernaut, playing SSF. I'm doing fine in my maps (240K DPS and very tanky) although my gear has a long way to go. No Six-Links yet. What I'm trying to do is to increase my viability in Sanctum. I have increased my melee strike range as much as possible, and I'm working on upping my attack speed and average hit. Does anyone have experience trying this approach? I suspect a more end-game sanctum build will do Maces and stuns, but this is where I am right now. In the interim, I'm considering having some gear to swap out when I'm abo

So after a bit of messing around, I might have come up with a phys Flicker Strike Slayer that looks like it's SSF viable for a league start. Parameters: 900k+ boss DPS assuming maximum Rage, Pride effect and totems, but no Berserk or Vaal Haste (goes up to 1.5m burst DPS if so). Not that you'd be doing pinnacles on this, but it's a good indication of single target potential. Clear DPS drops to 533k without totems, Vaal Haste, Berserk, or Intimidate, and setting Pride to minimum effect, but is helped along by Tribal Fury's new mel

I've been PoBing this build for a couple of weeks now and I think I've got a pretty decently optimized league starter tree+gear. 4 million pinnacle DPS with easily obtainable rares and no PoB warrior BS. No flasks except rotgut, nothing ticked that shouldn't be, etc, no additional curse, no influenced gear except a life % hunter belt. Fork socketed into 6 link. Ballistas turned off, guard skill turned off. Far shot estimated at 40 projectile travel distance instead of 60 (at 60 DPS shoots up to 5.5 million) With single target gem

Hello, i feel like it isn't really being mentioned anywhere, but in ruthless, since you most likely won't have a 6 link, or good ways of scaling damage, the easiest way to scale damage is to just use many different skills. The premise here is that on non bosses you just fire trap and maybe curse a rare here or there, and on bosses where you struggle, you are unloading your whole kit. Here is the POB: Lvl 98 with 2-3 mod gear, no 5 link, the mods affixes and bases are not tier 1, usually tier 2-4 (except the weapon). Should be overcapped for curses, 600k boss

Introduction Hello there, PinguinTorpedo here with my take on a melee ignite build in 3.20. There was a lot of discussion that melee builds in general are in really bad spot. Especially ignite builds with the removal of the Divine Inferno jewel. I came up with an Ice Crash Ignite Elementalist that should be pumping 5.1m to 26m in a mapping environment, 9m to 17m against standard bosses and arounnd 2.4m to 4.2m Uber dps with 4s ignite uptime. The damage range exisits because of the interaction of the key items. In the Damage Output section i will go in detaill about the dama

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

PoB: Wave 30 Sim (both bosses): My favourite build in PoE at the moment, I see no reason why it wouldn't be good for next league, so thought I'd share. This build has carried my potato ass all the way to a no-carry 40/40 4/7 ubers. Should be good for 3.20, even better actually with some of the mastery changes.

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

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
