PoE Spectral Helix builds

Hey guys, reviewed my 3.16 league starter - now featuring more armour. After some playtesting, I also dropped Herald of Ice because it did not add a lot towards clear (not as much as commonly anticipated). With 45k phys/90k ele damage max hit taken (10k hit PoB Input), this build is quite tanky despite its low HP pool. If you have Molten shell up, this goes up to 70k/160k. Real DPS might be a bit lower - you need a couple of seconds till you get power charges and frenzy charges from Assassins Mark, then you also need to have t

Theorycrafted a Poison build centered around Binos for prolif, elusive stacking for efficient dps scaling and assassin to complement both the efficient poison scaling and the elusive effect. This is not the absolute starter setup, more the red map follow up version. League start would likely include sword mastery for frenzy instead of redeemer chest, no thread of hope and rare jewels but instead crit grand spectrum, dropping some crit nodes in order to fund the pathing to the ranger life nodes. Things I don't know how they turn

Hey, recently started theorycrafting possible league starters. I tried to rely mostly on proven concepts. In this build this happens to be Spectral Helix, a bit of Elusive stacking, Spell Suppression (may get nerfed but It is so easy to cap with Raider so it will still be used). With just Frenzy Charges (Raider), Elusive (refreshed with Withering Step regularly) and Chill (Vortex+Bonechill on LMB) ticked against a Sirus config, this setup nets 3.6Mil Dps assuming 2 Hits (should be the average) but with good positioning, 3 hits are possible; this would net 5.4 Mil dps. Build is a bit glass ca

Hey there. Recently theorycrafted around the endless delve unique blood of summer, first I came up with elemental Hit but that didnt look as promising. This time around, I chose Spectral Helix for its immense scaling with flat damage. Main Idea is to use Ice Bite+9 Frenzy for flat Ele scaling, then stack evasion on gear and convert to armour for Big Molten Shell+Phys Mitigation. For Ele Mitigation, 76% max res and 100% spell suppression should work out rather nicely. This is not a build for Aul or other bosses, but I am confid

pob: Overall thoughts on the build: It's pretty tanky but damage is pretty low. PoB says about 1.5M but I have no idea how that translates in terms of actual spec helix dps. Basically a worse version of a Champion Spec Helix build. Suffers from slower clear without explosions or Call of Steel, but bossing is ok. I've done everything but Maven (always mess up memory game lol) and the Feared. Oh yeah, I don't actually have Doryani's Prototype, it's just a skin transfer Edit: I forgot to mention that bottled faith adds about 30-40% more damage

Hey all, if you want to get a Helix Raider going for cheap, level with Hands of Motion and Thought and Astramentis, upgrade the Claws when you ding 68. I paid 230c for this entire build 3 days ago, it might be more expensive now.

Hey everyone, working on a new build and could need some imput, since right now it seems rather bad, but it looks like something I would enjoy playing. PoB-Link

I spent quite a while trying to find a build I could shove those new recoup life nodes in. I think I got one. I am a bit worried about attack speed, but other than that it is 100% spell suppression, 50% recoup, big ES leech with some mana and hp on hit/kill. I think the lightning mastery (always lucky non-crits) will be great with the huge range that Energy Blade provides (15+0.04%ES - 235+0.8%ES) \[147-2875\] Any thoughts would be great since I can't really test in out in POB since the skill isn't added yet. I have also nev

Howdy folks. I've been tooling around with Energy Blade, spectral helix, crit, and gladiator, I cobbled together something moderately ok. As PoB'd it shouldn't be too outrageously expensive to build on leaguestart. It will also use the new Tempest Shield for +25% spellblock so I left some unreserved mana for it. The PoB What it does ok 3-4m boss damage if you sit on them and cast. Moderate ~5k ehp Leeches both life and ES Decent block and Evasion What it does bad Clearspeed is garbage. Maybe flickerstrike/multistrike gemswap because that new sword mas

The build is just a rough idea, it is nowhere near min-maxed. But the number seems promising so I decide to share it :) pob with quite endgame gears: dps while focused: 13m x 2 (helix hits twice in close range) Defense: 4.5k life, 46k evasion, 100% spell suppression, +216% ms (with QotF), purity of element for ailment immunity. Hopefully it's enough to survive most of the contents. I generate Endurance/Frenzy/Power charges by using Doedre's Elixir. With the reworked Survival Instincts jewel (50% chance not to consume charges), it should be sustainable. Flat

POB: Due to passive tree changes this is just a rough outline of notables and gear without factoring in Mastery for the most part. Reservations assume that Faith and Steel counts for Energy Shield Mastery (for 25% Discipline Efficiency) otherwise drop Tempest Shield or spend a few points for Insightfulness/Unnatural Calm. Open to ideas or suggestions for refinement. Never played spectral helix so unsure what sort
