PoE League Starter, Trap builds

Theorycrafted a Poison build centered around Binos for prolif, elusive stacking for efficient dps scaling and assassin to complement both the efficient poison scaling and the elusive effect. This is not the absolute starter setup, more the red map follow up version. League start would likely include sword mastery for frenzy instead of redeemer chest, no thread of hope and rare jewels but instead crit grand spectrum, dropping some crit nodes in order to fund the pathing to the ranger life nodes. Things I don't know how they turn

Hey, recently started theorycrafting possible league starters. I tried to rely mostly on proven concepts. In this build this happens to be Spectral Helix, a bit of Elusive stacking, Spell Suppression (may get nerfed but It is so easy to cap with Raider so it will still be used). With just Frenzy Charges (Raider), Elusive (refreshed with Withering Step regularly) and Chill (Vortex+Bonechill on LMB) ticked against a Sirus config, this setup nets 3.6Mil Dps assuming 2 Hits (should be the average) but with good positioning, 3 hits are possible; this would net 5.4 Mil dps. Build is a bit glass ca

I spent quite a while trying to find a build I could shove those new recoup life nodes in. I think I got one. I am a bit worried about attack speed, but other than that it is 100% spell suppression, 50% recoup, big ES leech with some mana and hp on hit/kill. I think the lightning mastery (always lucky non-crits) will be great with the huge range that Energy Blade provides (15+0.04%ES - 235+0.8%ES) \[147-2875\] Any thoughts would be great since I can't really test in out in POB since the skill isn't added yet. I have also nev

Howdy folks. I've been tooling around with Energy Blade, spectral helix, crit, and gladiator, I cobbled together something moderately ok. As PoB'd it shouldn't be too outrageously expensive to build on leaguestart. It will also use the new Tempest Shield for +25% spellblock so I left some unreserved mana for it. The PoB What it does ok 3-4m boss damage if you sit on them and cast. Moderate ~5k ehp Leeches both life and ES Decent block and Evasion What it does bad Clearspeed is garbage. Maybe flickerstrike/multistrike gemswap because that new sword mas

Okay so this build kind of originated off of one of my favorite unique swords Dreadbeak. The idea is to boost base damage with bloodthirst and reserve exactly or slightly above 50% of life for permanent low life. Now you may say, but adrenaline can be abused so easily if you just reserve at 51%, and I'll say 6 auras/buffs with very good aura effect. Instead of creating a gigantic block of text I'll try to note all the advantages with formatting I'm not used to. Exactly or close to 50% reservation using a herald of purity and a high level vita
