PoE Hexblast, Spell builds

First off, let me get this out of the way. This isn't going to be a meta build, there's probably better selfcast builds than this too, and i'm sure mines will do better damage. I just hate mines and don't want to play it, and wanted to see what I can do with Archmage on leaguestart. Also many of the more popular ways to scale hexblast involve some very expensive uniques, and since most traditional archmage items are relatively cheap (Ivory Tower <5c launch day). I thought it might be a decent league starter, so lets give it a try. It does roughly 20M Pinnacle Boss DPS, and some PoB warr

Let me preface this with two things. 1. This is an update to the build I posted 2 days ago. Although now I feel it is not just decent, but actually good. 2. I believe this build will have slightly better numbers in 3.20 since we are getting some pretty big buffs to curses but we are also losing base effects of curses, hexblast just has worse numbers for self cast and occultist is getting some minor nerfs. But it will feel much better, since now you don't have to manage doom mechanics. Now into the build itsef. The build has three levels, based around investment. 1. The first level i

Tinkering around a bit with the build I managed to get over 2 million sirus dot dps with pretty low investment (pretty much all of it is used on blackflame). But honestly that works for me considering how shitty all the gear is + and the fact that is dot dps. Defensively the build is lacking, but I feel that the capped glancing blows + temporal chains as an aura makes it tolerable for softcore. The build is mainly centered around 2 things, blackflame and doomblast to trigger elemental overload. With better gear like a cane of kulemak and actually decent rares I feel like the build can be go

I'd like to share my slightly non-meta build - hexblast ignite chieftain. Dominant archetype is chaos converted occultist, but I wanted to check fire route with some chieftain's beefiness. I hope it may act as a benchmark or inspiration for others that would like to explore this skill. PoB: [

I kinda made this build on my own, it kills 5/7 ubers (exarch too hard, awakener haven't tried). I have ralakesh's impatience in my inventory and double tap it to get max charges instantly in pinnacle boss fights, since the ramp is pretty painful otherwise. Once you get to max you sustain with pcoc though. I proc EE with an abyss jewel that adds a miniscule amount of lightning damage which triggers from impending doom/doom blast (source of cull as well) I mainly posted because i feel like i hit a wall on scaling it further, so im open to suggestions. Also sha

This is a build i have been playing for a few leagues in a row, decided to share for anyone interested hmu with questions if you have any &x200B; POB:

Alchemist Mark Base: .79 for poison .26 for ignite x 1.76 = 139.04 for poison 45.76 for ignite Without wither Poison without 300% increased (238,956 1.39) + 238,956 = 571,104 With 300% increased (390,1951.39) + 390,195 = 932566 Ignite (447,657 .46) + 447,657 = 653579 Poison/Ignite/Pools: 1,586,145 Bossing ED&Blight: 873,348 Mapping Impending Doom: 264,524 (1 sec poison + hit) Witherless Bossing DPS: 2,459,493 Witherless Mapping DPS: 1,850,699 ---------------------------------------------- 15 stacks wither Poison without 300% in

Make sure you pick the right tree, gear set and skills (disable others) for whatever part of the build you're at, also change doom accordingly (30 is base) If you want to use Berek's Respite or Abberath's Hooves, make sure you're not using Ignite Proliferation or it breaks the chains. Get Singularity when you can, otherwise use an item like the rare wand in the PoB items Emperor's Vigilance is disgustingly strong and lets us have max spell/attack block until we go to staff with no downside from GB In transition, either enlighten main auras

get alchemists mark effect enchant if it exists (30% mark effect is from this, otherwise get hexblast aoe, despair effect or an aura reservation ig) problems that im willing to drop some damage for: - no phys mitigation (grav mod on chest) - no spell suppression (gonna write this off as too hard to cap without dropping too much ES for comfort) max res on shield - mana (no room for clarity, can't go EB and CI) - maybe swap to life and go EB? idk - recovery sucks - maybe.........drop profane bloom.....................yikes maybe swap wand base to accumulator if ur nasty, i just used driftw

Hi all! So I've decided to try to theorycraft something simple for my first leaguestart without using a guide made by ziz, jungroan, pathofmath, and the like. I'm interested in an ignite build and eventually settled on hexblast ignite because playing with curses also seemed fun. I made a POB and it's hitting 8mill ignite dps on guardians on gear that shouldn't cost more than 7 or 8 ex I think by the second or third week of league. Is this too good to be true? Maybe I invested too little in defenses or something. &x200B; Any input would be appreciated ! :) &x200B; POB:[

Hexblast non crit version I need some help or Advice for my homebrew Hexblast build. What kind of jewels should i aim for ? What i can do better ? When all the gems are on max level then i get 5 mio damage per hit. The next skill point will get in the Chaos mastery for increased wither effekt. Its kind of a work in progress :D But so far i'm quite impressed, tankiness is somewhat way better than expected. Thanks to all the curses and less damage dealt. Thanks in advance

My skeleton POB: I like playing ignites, but still want something that plays a bit smoother than EA totems. I currently have 1.3mil Sirus ignite dps with around 30-40c league start investment. &x200B; POB has level 20 gems with no quality, 90%inc life and 140% ES, plus almost capped chaos res from just ascendancy and Blackflame. So there is plenty of room for improvement. Ideas include getting ashes of the stars and divergent Hexblast to help boost dps a lot. Then I have pathed down into the trickster area, but I th

So I got some helpful feedback and decided to change to Hexblast Hierophant, and would love some more opinions and thoughts. thanks guys!

Hi Everyone! I hope you're all having an amazing league! I'm back with another follow-up on my league starter, which was an Ignite Hexblast Elementalist. Recently I've swapped into Occultist, hence a few things have changed. 1. Blackflame - Enemies ignited take chaos damage 2. Replace Windshreek with a solid pair of boots, life, res, Ignites deal damage faster implicit and Increased action speed implicit 3. +1 curse body armor to replace the additional curse from Windshreek 4. Ashes of the Stars is a solid amulet, will help with mana reservation, must be very well rolled and prob a

Hey all, saw the huge Hexblast buffs and I think it is a sleeper skill for ignite anyway so decided to pull the trigger and build out an inquisitor version of the popular ignite build. I've included trees for level 100, 95, 90, and 80. Updated PoB: Notes on configuration: I simulated the hexblast buffs by adding in the custom modifiers tab. Also wanted to simulate Flaming Surge burning ground effect. Minimum shock effect is applied, although you may get higher given the huge hits from HB. Chill and shock comes from Hexblast itself since it can shock/ignite/f

Hi, guys! I've been POBing this build since the Flame Surge rework was announced. I think after the recent pob push, I can share it. I play SSSFHC so this build is quite tanky. If that's not your thing, simply go clusters and get 3-10x the DPS. 10/21 Edit: I don't plan to update this even after LocalIdentity1 pushes out the new POB. I will simply make another post a week after league start concerning my progress. If you have questions, IGN: LefthandedIRL &x200B; With decent SSF gear (Day 8 or 9 or lvl 97-98) ^(The
