PoE Pathfinder, Lightning builds

So I know assassin and elementalist are the go-to when it comes to autobombers, but looking at the hidden flesh/flame notable for Ranger, it seems like it would be awesome for a shock/freeze Autobomber. Has anyone tried something like this? Expedition's end would guarantee huge freezes. Either Annihilating Light or Crest of Desire (maybe both for double herald?) Could see it working on either raider or Pathfinder. Raider gets speed and elemental synergy. Pathfinder could get speed and possibly a boatload of crit from flasks. Going to try some

Hi, some of you asked for an update on my progress to get Hateforge with VLS going in the current league. I leveled the character to 96 and moved to a cluster setup: A little pheonix showcase, sorry for bad quality, my potato can barely handle the build without recording Build still has alot of room to improve, especially the rares but also corruptions on weapons (i kinda scoured the market without hitting a single crit or as).

So, i managed to get my hands on Hateforge and thought id try to get it going like back in Ultimatum. PoB: Very unoptimized and still low level, not meant to be more than a proof of concept for now. The main idea is to use flask effect, reduced duration and dual wield the ultimatum weapon to get 100% uptime on VLS. Because the Sceptre has very low attack damage, im using covenant for big base damage. Its definitly way weaker than before but with how crazy attack speed will scale this, it might be possible to make it good again. Edit: Got a couple PMs tellin

Current POB: Showcase: 3.18 MEME build: Not a explosive concoction PF Central concept: Inextricable fate, this boots gives you all damage inflict poison as long as enemies have at least 3 grasping vine on them, meaning that they have to stand still at least 1.5 sec to proc. This is really good when fighting most of bosses since they dont move frequently.Other than that, only thing to scale dmg is to find a gem with massive added dmg. So here comes the explo

What's the idea here? Choir of the storm, perfect form, formless inferno and Perseverance are your key items. From there you stack resistances by getting flask effect and res flasks, the build gets ~500% overcapped resistances What my PoB attempt at this achieves: - 80k armour - 80k evasion - 98% crit chance - ele ailment immunity - bleed and corrupted blood immunity - stun immunity - curse immunity - permanent 150% movement speed - 20% less elemental damage taken - Fortify and onslaught when mapping What my PoB attempt at this is lacking in - only 3k life and no real way to recover

Hey there, weary exile. I hope you're as hyped for league start as i am. I've thought about league starting Poisonous Concoction Pathfinder, and came up with this PoB. I'm wondering what you guys think, and if there's a better angle to approach it. Damage seems to be okay (?) if calculating with the 300% increased damage mastery and an conservative approach of 3 poison hits/"shotgunning". 36k Poison DPS \ 3 \ 3 = 342k DPS 133k Total Damage Per Poison (3.6s duration) \ 3 \ 3 = 1.2m DPS My defenses however, are all

Looking for some discussion on this theorycraft and its potential as a league starter. PoB: For the most part, this is a fairly typical Poison Pathfinder build. In that sense, I think this (or any other Poison) build will do well at league start. Especially so with the new Mastery node for Poison that grants 300% increased damage on first application. I've also looked into some synergies for this build to grow into that I'd like to discuss. Lethe Shade Lethe Shade seems like a fairly mediocre node which gives a small upside

BIGGEST PROBLEM: SUSTAIN LIFE FLASK CHARGES DURING BOSSING ??? Attack damage = physical damage?

super super rough PoB (especially considering changes coming): 3.16 i'm gonna be making an MFinder just for the fun of it and so am having to build around all of the uniques. it's pretty restricting. there's almost no flat life or resistances on the gear (didn't want to put in some PoB ventors) and so am building around that with a super passive playstyle (bow and ballistas) and lots of jewels on the tree. but also damage itself has been a question for me, especially as i don't really trust my capacity to get an honest readout from PoB with all the moving part
