PoE Herald of Thunder, League Starter builds

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

: Budget version (level 87, cheap gear, 5 link armor and 6 socket unlinked staff). Reaches 1.6m DPS on mapping config (flasks active, no convergence, assuming you're killing enemies) and 1m DPS on bossing config (no flasks, Shaper resistances, convergence active). This isn't counting Flame Surge, which will give at minimum another 25% more damage. : More invested version, but still not GG gear. Level 95, some influenced items and good jewels, better mods on staff (though the staff ceiling is massive, it can easily give 50%

Looking for some discussion on this theorycraft and its potential as a league starter. PoB: For the most part, this is a fairly typical Poison Pathfinder build. In that sense, I think this (or any other Poison) build will do well at league start. Especially so with the new Mastery node for Poison that grants 300% increased damage on first application. I've also looked into some synergies for this build to grow into that I'd like to discuss. Lethe Shade Lethe Shade seems like a fairly mediocre node which gives a small upside

I am working on an assassin static strike character as a potential league starter for 3.16. I would like for it to be a bit tankier but can't figure out how to get that into the build, any ideas on how to get that set up? &x200B; Also more damage would also be nice, as I can't seem to squeeze anymore in.

Hi, i started the League as a experimental Explosive Concoction Pathfinder. I started a Thread on here like a week ago and wanted to let you guys know how its going so far. I am pretty slow at leveling since iam pretty new to the game but the process in itself is pretty good so far. EC as a leveling skill works out pretty fine since you dont really need anything to make it work. Here is the PoB iam planning on going for the finished build for. Its with a bit of Inspiration from the people on the first Theorycraft. &x200B;

Hey there, I want to start with a Winterorb Elementalist next league. I'd like to use the golems of the class as a "support" and cheap way to get the build going. The Build has hardly any rares and focuses mostly on uniques. I took all duration+aoe nodes for quality of life and I am using rampage+focusing on movement speed. In General I want the build to only use Winterorb and thats it. If you guys have any ideas on how to improve the build, then i'd be delighted to hear about them. The Build cant run RF instantly, I'll need the 2 jewelers first. Overall I estimate the build cost at roughl
