I would love to have some input on this build. It seems pretty damn solid for what's invested and a bit unorthodox. I've recently learned about melding of the flesh and how much lightning coil has been buffed since the last time I looked at it and wanted to make a build with solid defense and one that didn't have "fake" totem damage. This is what I've been tinkering on for the past couple days. As someone who knows how to make decent currency, I would consider this to be a pretty league start friendly build. I believe the most exp

Early Leveling for Totems: From Level 1: Start leveling from the start of Act 1 with Ground Slam + Chance to Bleed + Lifetap. Add Ancestral Protector Totem as soon as avaliable. From Level 8: Earthbreaker will become avaliable; switch out chance to bleed with Earthbreaker and run with Ground Slam and Lifetap until level 12. From Level 12: Switch Ground Slam with Volcanic Fissure for the rest of the game; from this point just following the gem setups as best as you can. Uniques to Prioritise in order 1. Brutus Lead Sprinkler 2. Crown of Eyes (With Ancestral Protector 18% speed uber lab en

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 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

This build is attempting to maximize the buffs given by Her Embrace (from Oni Goroshi) by adding physical damage and "gain % Physical Damage as extra Fire Damage" modifiers and stacking increased Fire Damage/More Fire Damage modifiers. Two strategies for defenses: 1. Regular defenses, stacking Life, Strength, and resistances (problematic with Abyssus helm, Her Embrace degen) 2. Converting physical damage (mostly Hits, also degens) into elemental damage and then utilizing Transcendence to apply stacked Armour to elemental Hits on top of resistances. Ditching Strength stacking for more poin

Hi Everyone, I decided to give LS a try for the first time this league. I wanted to league start a build that I could clear all the game's content with without re-rolling another character since I hate leveling through the campaign so much. First off, I played Helix until about level 92, and that was terrible, and frankly I don't think I really want to repeat that process ever again. It was tolerable in the campaign, but not having the gear needed in a league start scenario to make switching to LS feel good until level 92 was less than ideal. However, around level 92 I was very fortunate and

1m full dps with replica abyssus or 800k with fractal thoughts Lethal pride is going to be got probably in yellow maps has chance to intimidate on herbalism, annoint is probably going to change to tribal fury however I tested in std and it feels ok in yellow maps without it. Chest upgrade would definitely be +1 curse chest 6l either cospri or rare hunter chest. Build will have issues bossing, but will feel good in low tier/mid tier maps Nightmare jewel is normally cheap for power charge generation. If I can't pu

Uniques are shown with mid-roll modifiers unless the uniques are very cheap (max attributes Carnage Heart). LEVELLING: Levelling trees are general recommendations. If you feel squishy or feel like your damage sucks, pick up damage/life nodes as needed. Make sure to keep upgrading your weapon with t
