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

Been playing the game for years at this point but never really tried to pull a build together of my own. Nothing is really catching my eye as a league starter outside of Absolution. Looking to get some feedback on the build I pulled together. I play SCSSF and think this should be a good starting point with super basic gear. Anything I am missing or mistakes I have made?

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

Here's a quick update to Kay's popcorn SRS build I'm considering for SSF league start this Friday. I've tweaked a few things, increased some defenses. Have a SSF starter gear set and bare bones tree and damage looks decent. Any thoughts? I'll need to tweak the build more once PoB updates with new craft bases and gem modifications.

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

I do this because, depending on your gear, different suffixes will be necessary at different stages. As a result, there are plenty of suffix positions open to get all the resistances or attributes that you need. See the conf

Oh hi there. Are you interested in trying something new? I mean, it's pretty old, but. How about a skill so off-meta I couldn't find evidence of anyone having used it as a main skill since 2015 when it was introduced? A skill that was further crippled in 3.16 (thanks Yoji), cementing its contention for the least-used skill in POE? (I've seen more basic attack builds kill Sirus than this one.) Are you tired of clearing entire screens with one swing, preferring to feel the weight of each enemy's body as you deliver crippling blow after crippling blow one by one by one by one by one by one by

DISCLAIMER: I have not actually played this build in any way yet and 3.18 is when I'll possibly try it, so it could have periods of build progress where its shit before it becomes good, or just be shit forever. DISCLAIMER 2: This is NOT intended to be a day 1 all uber bosses killed build with all magic gear like DD, but one that can function early without needing gear in SSF but will also feel rewarding to build it up as you play throughout the league.

I'm not a terribly good crafter so those more proficient at crafting would have an even easier time.
