PoE Explosive Concoction, Poisonous Concoction, Poisonous Concoction of Bouncing builds

A few weeks ago I made this post: , Showing off a self made build that was able to finally kill an uber, well I'm back and I've done it again. This time however, I've taken separate interactions that people have found and put them in to one build. So I can't really call this self made, but people should be able to actually copy this one! I currently have the build almost min/maxed, but with less investment and a few poin

When Frostferno was in the game, EC had a 5.5 link with +8 gems that was highly possible to use. You would take Avatar of Fire, get a double corrupted Frostferno and now you had a cool non traditional setup. It was reasonable to use sapphire at least due to cold to fire on Frostferno. Frostferno is gone now though. After a lot of PoB work, I am of the strong opinion that EC is better off without Sapphire/Topaz flasks. This, imho, basically makes it a broken gem. 1) It takes solid investment to get the flasks to be useable over a longer period. If you go pathfinder, you have very little sy

I started EC following Velyna's guide, then figured to dump all my currency into an secrets of suffering variant. It is a bit meme, but figured I would share this since I couldn't find many good posts for inspiration outside the typical EO/PT versions. This isn't really a build one would follow, but might be a different look to a scion build for ideas. I found this skill to be really fun, you are pretty much melee since you want to be on top of the enemy, but have a projectile when you want it. Is any form of my variant worth

POB: So, I've been running a PConc Pathfinder this league (long league in a long time), and I am having a blast. The build is tanky, and does reasonable damage. So far I've been able to do Sirus, Maven, Elder, Shaper, Eater of Worlds. Now, my question is specifically on Simulacrum (wave 22 and higher), but I guess it applies for other issues as well. In case of Simulacrum and 20+ waves, I have no issue in tanking damage (I guess), however my main problem is with damage output. At some point it is just a 1v1 with Kosis where it is j

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

Hello all, I was heavily inspired by Velyna and Mathil's build guides for EConc and decided to give it a try. I tinkered with some of the tree and gear and took what I thought were the best parts of both guides. Major differences include the use of impossible escape to save ~7 points and herald of ice for better clear POB: Build highlights: Burst DPS: 14.4m (assuming all 5 projectiles hit, melee range, berserk + focus on) Average DPS: 6m (no proj distance specified, 0 rage, no focus, no berserk) 4.3k life, 23k armour (with flask up, no MS/VMS), spell s

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. Build Features Ethics Not DD, Seismic, EA +++ Hit based attack build +++ Does not use omniscience +++ Does not use Ashes of Stars ++ Does not
