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've been PoB warrior'ing for awhile and I think I've settled on my league starter. Main criteria was melee, strong overall build (mapping + bossing), and tanky as possible. Was thinking boneshatter slayer, but I avoided it for a couple of reasons; Vaal Pact annoys me and Slayer needs it to be acceptably tanky, and Slayer is kind of bad at bossing without very high investment. That being said, I love the Boneshatter Playstyle, and as a long time HC player I have a special place in my heart for Juggernaut. Juggernaut also deals with trauma stacks very very well. After review, Jugg has very

Just looking for some suggestions/improvements on the tree, and what aura's I should run. And what skills I can level with that won't require much (if any) regrets. For gear I have an idea of what I want, and don't really want to build it around any uniques since I play SSF/SSFHC exclusively. But with pretty terrible gear I'm already at 600k DPS, and I can sustain the damage as early as level 68-70 (according to skill self-damage), since my life regen should cover the damage taken.

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

So with the new League coming i made a Shield Crush Poison Champion Theory craft. I havent compared it yet to Impale Shield Crush, but the Poison version looks good on paper. Especially with the changes to Obliteration and Mings(for Softcore), the build should have pretty good clear and some potentially good single target damage. The gear i used in the Pob should be pretty "cheap", or farmable in SSF. Its primarly Resist, Life and some Spell Suppress. The Idea was, since Seismic Trap is gone as a Budget Option, and Melee staying kinda untouched, that Shield Crush looks pretty good for easy P

I have thrown this together in the last hour or so as an quick idea to make best use of the new Cloak of Flame. Its still very rough around the Edges and needs to be fleshed out. Its meant for a Leaguestart SSF Enviroment. It includes Cloak of Flame and a Warlords Helmet though which may need a few days to obtain, longer if unlucky. But i am confident you could live off of Armour longer if needed. I am thankful for any ideas to improve it.

pob : This is a theoretical build specced towards non juiced non uber uber content and being a safe, comfy, fast map clearer. It can probably do all the normal content fine, except maybe Sirus will be slow because of the arena size and how spark DPS works. All the gear used is around the level of near late game SSF and can reach higher DPSwith more minmaxing of gear. However, I would not recommend starting this because it won't become fully online until some vital pieces of gear that deal with mana issues. Defensive Features: Capped Evasion with Wind Dancer

Core ideas, new 40% Mom+eldritch battery to solve mana and add a bit more tankiness and value to dual regen of inq. GMP to shotgun creeping frost. Daressos courage for 55% spell block/75 if blocked attacks recently. Things looking to gear for once it gets going- increased max fire res, get the last couple % left to cap suppression. curse on hit ring to free supports up for RF. Generally adding % increase

Nothing here is finalized, but so far this is my most fleshed-out attempt at an SSF league starter for 3.19. This one is built for maximum ease of gearing and ease of play. Everything that costs mana is on a Lifetap and I let Tukohama's leech take care of sustain. Tasalio phys as fire is maybe better now that some of our armour scaling has been nerfed. Immortal Call is on a CWDT, although I may end up manually casting it and Enduring Cry is on left click. It's more for the rapid heal but of course I need something to proc Valako.

From what we've seen so far, do you guys think zerker with rage and impale would be a good choice for 3.19? Here's a quick pob I threw together (not sure if I'm calculating the dps of it correctly but it looks promising). Perhaps the new buffed chieftain node will also make fire conversion good, but I doubt it will change a lot. Doesn't need anything special, just a decent axe. I think it will be a good league starter and ssf build, but I'm worried about defences. But then again defences are getting gutted so may as well go full
