PoE SSF, Herald builds

So, I basically exclusively play self-made builds that are usually at least somewhat off-meta. Those builds vary widely in their success and often end up failing. However, every once in a while an idea works out. This is looking to be one of those ideas. Non-Reaper bleed minions have been a bit of a "white whale" of mine. I've probably crammed out dozens of PoBs with good enough damage numbers, but they mostly just ended up feeling pretty bad in real gameplay. This one felt pretty nice however. I present to you: Frenzy Stacking - Charge Sharing - Rupture - Crit - Bleed - Herald of Agony -

IMPORTANT FOR HARDCORE: Pick "Speaker of the Dead" on the tree and never run "map boss is possessed" on your maps. There's a ghost that disables your flasks and you don't want to meet that on this build, especially if you cap your resists using flasks. IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE: For the endgame setup you want BOTH Taste of Hate AND Lightning Coil. If you don't have that yet make sure to swap both your skillset and gearset to the pre-coil versions. 3.23 CHANGES < The biggest change from 3.23 is that the 10% AoE from Toxic Rain quality got replaced by d

Good Morning :) So. I have played a lot, but never gotten very far. I enjoy SSF and decided in order to actually get somewhere near the later stages of the game, I will play standard SSF instead of always making new character in the current league. &amp;x200B; My strongest build at the moment is this HoAG Guardian from past leagues. POB (community version): This can clear Tier 8 maps relatively comfortably, but starts dying in higher tiers relatively often. Now my Question is this. Is HoAG without Arakaalis Fang still a viab

Storm Brand HoA Jugg is my favourite build in PoE. I have seen some players in both SC and HC trade make this build work every league but they are not SSF friendly at all. I have been trying to make it work in SSF for a couple of leagues and I think I have found a version that I am happy to share in this subreddit. This build does not have a ton of dmg but the uptime is fantastic and the tankiness is through the roof. A downside to some people is that this build requires you to do heist to get some important items and uniques that help the build a ton but they are not mandatory for early progr

Level 90 PoB (I use community edition): I'm using ball lightning in a couple places - the main one is in a CoC setup with blade flurry, and also a low level one in my helm with GMP, high-level added chaos, and CwDT. This procs all the time because of the herald of thunder and storm secret ring. I have another CwDT setup with blade vortex and power charge on crit for reliable power charges. That one also triggers immortal cry. I've stacked a bunch of life and ES gained on attack/spell hit, so I'm basically unkillable outside of one-shots. Aspect of the spider i
