PoE Death's Oath builds without Headhunter, Mageblood

Sharing my first semi-min maxed build. I took Bergerbrush's guide and loved it so much I couldn't stop. I'm at around 15.4MM dmg! POB below! &x200B; For anyone who wants to see the items without getting into POB I'm the latest post on Page 21 with items linked [

Just wanted to share my take on DO/CA farmer this league: Defense: Determination, Grace, Defiance banner, conditional crit immunity (60% from watcher's eye, another 40% if the enemy is cursed) , temporal chains (via skitterbots) , molten shell (cast on damage taken) , Divine flesh, Elusive from withering step , 4.2 k life at lvl 97 Offense: lvl 30 Vaal caustic arrow , \~495k DO farming dps(at 15 withered stacks), Despair (via skitterbots) , Malevolence , Profane Bloom. Misc: 5% of life on kill recovery , rampa
