PoE League Starter, SSF, Lightning builds

Guide written and maintained by Donkster5. You can find the forum post with links to other material here: I DO NOT ADD SUFFIXES, except very important ones, onto most of the gear. I do this because, depending on your gear, different suffixes will be necessary at different stages. As a result, there are plenty of suffix positions open to get all the resistances or attributes that you need. See the conf

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

I want to present to you a league starter build I made last league. I played in a relatively small private league and mainly crafted the gear myself. I'm not a terribly good crafter so those more proficient at crafting would have an even easier time. Those who play trade league will find the build to be even smoother in its progression.I'll be explaining some thing about the build that many may already know but I want to keep it as noob friendly as possible. Here's the PoB: Offenses: 2.3 to 3.1 million DPS Max DPS condi

I got a prototype drop on my SSF and had a really dumb idea to respec my lvl 100 seismic trap league starter with it. Was half paying attention and crafted all the items with essence spam while also half paying attention to work, in total I think I spent an hour rolling everything on this build except the belt, which was already on the build (harvest res swapped lightning->fire) But anyways: ~4 seconds maven phase, actually skipped the memory game ~3 seconds final sirus phase [<1 second elderslayer](

Hello! I've been playing every weekend since league start and I just picked up my 5th Exalt from the ground, so during my work hours I've been brewing this Poison Spark build: <-- Original 4k Life + 96% Stun avoid version <-- Newer 100% Spell Suppress but 3k Life + 40% Stun avoid version Concept - Ashes of the Stars can give up to 30% quality to all gems, and +1 level to all skill gems. - 20% Quality Phantasmal Spark now converts 100% Lightning Damage to C

Caveat: Build is untested; looking for feedback. Focus on league start and SSF. This PoB works on beta; there is a crash when you try to include Mirage Archers in Full Dps. Offence: Bow buffs should make this starter viable. Occupying Force makes this very comfy. Has most of the upsides of totems, without most of the downsides. Very high damage uptime during bosses. Mark on Hit: very consistent damage buff when you need it. No PoB inflation. (Damage numbers on a 5-link.) (Might need a mana flask for pre-firing during boss encounters.) (Concentrated Effect improves overlap, but make

This is my first time posting and making a meme from a simple idea so please go easy on me. This is a Lightning Strike raider, an easily achievable build for SSF and also as League Starter. The concept idea is that the slayer sits between Berserker and Raider, so manages to grab a bit of both trees, plus has access to Culling Strike, GigaDam attack speed and especially overleech. Claw Masteries and Claws overall allow us to go for a lot of lgoh aswell as life and mana leech, and I personally enjoy Vaal Pact. This POB is but a simple budget friendly showcase with just a simple easy

< I posted this as a few comments in threads earlier this week as a response to possible league starters. After giving it a trial run I'm pretty sure this will be my start. Pathed to cold conversion as opposed to phys to lightning support as i had earlier, this helped defensively and wasn't really losing damage. Too much cold to go trinity though unfortunatly. But leveling was a breeze once i got DI. Got upto tier 12's on a 4 link and with the crap gear currently able to complete t16's, need gear upgrades though to really b

Do note that all of the dps numbers shown in this default tree are without any DPS from items, the normal staff equipped is only done so to enable some values from the tree, and the rare armour was added to give a better idea of final health/armour/ES numbers with mediocre gear. I think hitting 1m DPS with this build with budget bin/SSF items should be fairly painless after the buffs. I know that 1m DPS is no world beater nowadays, but this build should scale pretty well with good gear, and being this tanky ought to count for something. --Items-- look for a Crus
