PoE SSF, Slam builds

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

Another option as it is super SSF friendly and delve friendly. Glad so all mobs are destroyed on kill due to explosions. Vaal EQ means you pop and run as fast as you can between zones. Defenses are mainly Regen, End Charges, shield i guess and Armor, though i have extra slots so you could socket in Arrogance-petrified blood easily for big hits for 1 skill point. EQ lets you preload damage a tad which is nice in delve, you always have onslaught+challenger charges so you should be fast and damage is decent. Im personally debating between this and champ shockwave cyc

After seeing this item rework I had to try to make an absolute unit bossing character that anyone could succeed with on a budget, this is what I have so far. Please - critique! Let's make a monster. Current capabilities: 1M DPS bleed on sirus, 3.8M per hit (only 1 hit required on boss per 3.8 seconds) 5.3k HP 84% cold and lightning resistance, 85% fire resistance, 38% chaos resistance 82% physical damage reduction 1k life leech per hit Enduring cry on left mouse for free 2k life every 8 seconds Culling strike and b
