PoE Juggernaut, League Starter, Melee, Slam builds without Boneshatter, Guardian, Hierophant, Inquisitor

Hi Exiles This build has gone from volc. fissure totems leaguestart > conc. path totems to now this. Totems were fun for both builds, but now I want something that can speed run bosses/sanctums/harbingers and decided to go out of my comfort zone and try something unusual. I failed, like, every single sanctum on this melee build (I was the player making fun of people for failing sanctums when on my totems) but now with enough DPS Sanctums are easier now than they were on totems. The build is fun. I've never played a build where the defenses were to just kill everything before it kills yo

Early Leveling for Totems: From Level 1: Start leveling from the start of Act 1 with Ground Slam + Chance to Bleed + Lifetap. Add Ancestral Protector Totem as soon as avaliable. From Level 8: Earthbreaker will become avaliable; switch out chance to bleed with Earthbreaker and run with Ground Slam and Lifetap until level 12. From Level 12: Switch Ground Slam with Volcanic Fissure for the rest of the game; from this point just following the gem setups as best as you can. Uniques to Prioritise in order 1. Brutus Lead Sprinkler 2. Crown of Eyes (With Ancestral Protector 18% speed uber lab en

hi everyone, recently the youtube algorithm decided to start showing me videos from the harvest/heist era and among them were zizaran's ground slam and alkaizer's earthshatter build, both champions using impale, and I know what you're thinking "slams are dead, seismic cry was pretty much removed from the game, impaler keystone was also nuked" but after some time on pob and comparing it with those builds, that doesnt seem to be the case especially because of the recently added echoes of creation helmet, which pretty much brings back pre nerf seismic cry effect more or less. would love to h

Introduction Hello there, PinguinTorpedo here with my take on a melee ignite build in 3.20. There was a lot of discussion that melee builds in general are in really bad spot. Especially ignite builds with the removal of the Divine Inferno jewel. I came up with an Ice Crash Ignite Elementalist that should be pumping 5.1m to 26m in a mapping environment, 9m to 17m against standard bosses and arounnd 2.4m to 4.2m Uber dps with 4s ignite uptime. The damage range exisits because of the interaction of the key items. In the Damage Output section i will go in detaill about the dama

TLDR: Frozen Legion possibly (i.e. not confirmed or hinted at by anyone at GGG AFAIK) scales similarly to Shockwave, gaining CDR and EAD please please please remember to cross-check when gem information is dropped and do not take this as gospel - it is hypothetical although at least an educated guess It's a decent 6th link for average attack speed builds It might be mainable if your weapon is exceptionally slow, but Heatshiver is likely the most straightforward way to scale it for now. 4 sample builds to get your own theorycrafting started, although those

I have thrown this together in the last hour or so as an quick idea to make best use of the new Cloak of Flame. Its still very rough around the Edges and needs to be fleshed out. Its meant for a Leaguestart SSF Enviroment. It includes Cloak of Flame and a Warlords Helmet though which may need a few days to obtain, longer if unlucky. But i am confident you could live off of Armour longer if needed. I am thankful for any ideas to improve it. I am sure i have some oversights i could easily include since i didnt spend very long on it and im unfamilar with Melee based scaling. None of the gear b

Nothing here is finalized, but so far this is my most fleshed-out attempt at an SSF league starter for 3.19. This one is built for maximum ease of gearing and ease of play. Everything that costs mana is on a Lifetap and I let Tukohama's leech take care of sustain. Tasalio phys as fire is maybe better now that some of our armour scaling has been nerfed. Immortal Call is on a CWDT, although I may end up manually casting it and Enduring Cry is on left click. It's more for the rapid heal but of course I need something to proc Valako. VMS would certainly be a better guard skill, so if you have othe

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

Act 1 Gems: Damage Skills: Holy Flame Totem (Lvl 4) - Added Fire Damage - Ruthless (Lvl 2) Ancestral Protector - Added Fire Damage - Ruthless Auras and Utility Steelskin, Precision, Vitality, Leap Slam (Dash Prior) Act 2 Gems: Supports to grab: Faster Attacks Support, Culling Strike Support, Elemental Damage with Attacks, Melee Physical Damage Auras: Herald of Ash, Herald of Purity (probably better) Act 3 Gems: THE BIG BOI, ANCESTRAL WARCHI

First things first, this is NOT MY BUILD. I saved the POB last league and cannot remember who made it. This build has the advantages of being very good DPS with totems leaching damage for you (which is huge). You just lay down your totems and dodge boss mechanics. I wanted to add a new build idea since I am seeing mostly the same builds being posted. Link to POB
