PoE White Wind builds

Basically the cookie cutter uniques in the title to leverage damage, spectral throw/spectral helix multi hit mechanic to scale damage (PoB is configured for single hit, should be x4 for spectral throw and like x2.5 for spectral helix). Wind Ward + Wind Dancer for defenses, although the build is by no means a defensive powerhouse, just 95% evade if hit recently and some basic mitigation. I put starter in many quotation marks because heatshiver/yoke and lethal pride can be kinda expensive so I dont wanna advertise it as a full blo

Yo guys, I really feel like with the addition of vengeant cascade, deadeye became a viable class for frost blades. Far Shot basically gives you 30% more Damage since the icey blades always travel the maximum distance (147% increased Projectile speed), The mark mastery gives massive Base Crit and the tailwind 4 pointer gives potentially massive mitigation as well as 20% action speed (more Damage). The small nodes give some projectile speed which is pretty good to get above the 140-ish threshold. Far shot should also be massive while clearing since most mobs actually only get hit by the icey bl

I posted my little raider here before but after a brief dalliance with infinite Vaal Molten Strike I decided I liked this better and specced back to it and upgraded it a little. It's _fun_. Reports indicate we need 140% inc projectile speed which is easily achieved thanks to the massive 50 from dagger mastery, then we have 23 from gem, 30 from helmet enchant, 15 from Vengeant Cascade which is 118% inc, so that's x2.18 and 15% more from projectile mastery is another x1.15 which comes to x2.5070 -- PoB says 2.51 I am not sure whether it's rounded up or down but luckily it doesn't matter: the vid

has my goal and the "Default" tree/skillset is where I am at, real character. It only uses one very cheap rare, everything else is a unique, two were somewhat pricey: heatshiver was 45c, 5L Daresso's was 40c. From where I am to the goal I do not need to change items at all, it's just gem levels and skillpoints. More can be done later, this will be enough to very comfortably fill the atlas and do the story big bosses. Once again I started with running Heists with a pConc Raider and while it's no longer endless, I managed to run quite a few of them (I made a snapsho

Same thing as the frost blades raider exact same items exact same tree except for the Lethality wheel, I picked Heartseeker. The big deal, however, is Vaal Reave. It'll help tremendously with Mercy lab Izaro and a little later with map bosses. What do you think? Is the lack of AoE a concern?

First time theory crafting a character, and wanted to try this combination just for fun, so i spent some time on PoB trying to see if it would work out. Thought the combination of melee (mark on hit) and spell damage might be interesting, though the damage might be reduced. Shock and freeze would be fun as well. Ideally the Herald of Ice will help with the clearing of maps. I would aim for the character to reach red maps, and so any buffs to survivability, damage, or improvements to the build in general would be great. PoB: Than

Hey guys, I just wanted to make sure with experts that I understood everything correctly : I'm playing Frost Blades Trickster in SSF (leaguestarted it... it went how you can guess). However I got to farming T16, still getting slapped by Essences because for some reasons i have 159 armor etc but that not what this post is about. As a fellow SSF enjoyer I spend quite a bit of time in Heist, and I got as usual \[\[The Admiral\]\] At first I thought "yeah... seems cool but wont use it" but then I thought about elemental equilibrium (that I can take right away, i'm pathing in front of it anyway

I started playing poe quite a while ago. My first few chars didn't get past acts. The first char that I really brought to end game was a frost blades champion way back in bestiary league. With the new stuff we've seen these past leagues, I think the skill plays quite differently than how it did before, and I do too. I'd like to try out the new amulet + loreweave interaction, if it isn't too expensive. End game, I'd like to see if the new ring will be as OP as it sounds. Even if it isn't, I'll still have a fallback as I've never played eternity shroud + heatshiver which should be great. Howev

Only using 1 weapon, a dagger... to cast a spell, no offhand! That's funny isn't it? 4.5m DPS! I'm not sold yet since i'm not sure if clearing will feel nice with it, i'm still leveling the character, so far it's quite powerful What do you think? What other unique battlemage build idea you can think of?

Hi I play a raider white wind Reave build and I’ve recently added the new heat shiver to the build and now want to add the admiral cause it seems like a funky and cool mechanic that can dish out a bunch of damage. Problem is POB doesn’t quite calculate the admiral I think and since I deal cold/fire dmg, I want to reduce enemy light res. 1. Any other sources of -light res besides raider exposure and curses? 2. Is my assessment of how the admiral works correct or is there something im missing? 3. Any other tips or stuff I should know or test? Build for referenc

I've tried to explore alternate defensive setups for a couple of archetypes and this is what I've came up with for Pure Evasion Characters. I've chosen Deadeye on purpose because its quite a bit easier to get a lot of Evasion on Raider. This build uses the lowest tier of the Body Armour Flask per 3 sec Implicit and the utility flask charges gained mastery to permanently maintain 5 flasks (Jade Flask has only 92% uptime so a good chunk of a second downtime sadly). Again we Convert around 55% of our phys Damage taken to Elemental

This is not a bossing build. Let's get that out of the way first and foremost. You can boss on it, but the dps will be WAY LOWER. So I was doing some help with another players White Wind build and the comments are full of people maligning White Wind as trash and unusable. I wanted to prove at least in concept that you can make a high damage tanky mapper using a 1c unique weapon and no shield. I picked the silliest skill I could think of being Wild Strike. Specifically so I could run a 50/50 fire/cold version. Nothing feels more PoE than hitting for Fire and Cold with a lightning skill that

This is my helix raider pob that I made as a potential league starter. Uses Replica Mistwall, Acrobatics, and Wind Dancer (Ghost Shrouds too, but those are just a small bonus). Don't know how else I could improve it while keeping it at a league start budget. POB:

10 Days ago or so I posted my White Wind Deadeye Starter, now I thought it would be nice to give an Endgame update and some thoughts. Levelling: Had a late start (sunday morning), bought some leveling weapons for the random currency I dropped, helped me clear campaign in 4:30, nothing special but Helix is top tier for going fast. Mapping: White Wind+5L, Capped Res, Capped Suppression and basic Defiance Banner+grace+determination setup was enough to clear exarch and eater questline, swapped to 6l and better jewelry once progression started to slow down in high red maps. Bossing: Everything I

After playing similar variants over the last few patches I've worked on a White Wind Helix Deadeye for this league. This build only has a bunch of rares with spell suppression, elemental resistances and attributes to cover int/str requirements. An exception are the gloves which have 2 of the most impactful eldritch implicits which you should be able to consistently hit while naturally progressing your exarch/eater quest line. If you tick off the flasks the config drops to 4.5Mil/33k Max Hit which is still very respectable. The PoB has a couple of points allocated in QoL nodes, adjust this t
