Hey folks! Would appreciate some of you looking over the PoB I made for what I want to league start - Double Strik Berserker! I tried keeping it as budget as possible and as realistic as possible (5Link, not enabling Totems for clearing DPS, no level 100 Tree shenanigans). Most of the DPS is carried by an Abyssus (no Aspect of Carnage tho) so I'm not 100% on how weak I'll be to physical damage. I'm at 20k Armour without Flasks and next three points would go into either Adamant or Inexorable Wheel. I also invested heavily

Melee Ignite?! During the league in which they removed Divine Inferno, gutting 60% of the archetypes damage? Yeah, I know. It had to be done. Vaal Smite raining down divine judgement upon the entire screen was something I decided I could not pass up on. Its an Elementalist that takes advantage of both shaper of flames and shaper of storms in a trinity setup to get bonuses to shock and ignite. It also takes advantage of Echoes of Creation, using warcries to augment the skill and increase the damage. Finally, we get fortify from the tree. I'm using two full-strength damage curses triggered

Cross post to a post i made in r/poeruthelss take into account this is an idea for ruthless and try not to mock me too hard, i know im supremely high on copium/hopium. I made a thing: Smite Trickster Energyblade. Take it with a huuuge grain of salt when it shows 3 support links and all auras i want, gear is unstatted and the attack mastery is a placeholder for tribal fury mastery. I really.. really.. want smite to be a thing for me this league, even in ruthless, so i fell opon this thing that might not be absolute horseshit.

Honestly i give up on this one, i really wanna Leaguestart Vaal Smite, but i feel like i cant really scale the Damage properly. The PoB already has a bit of padding (Panopticon Annoint, active Flasks and a bit better than leaguestart gear) For anyone interessted or willing to fix the PoB: I'll test another PoB with Crown of Eyes Inquisitor, to see if that works, but Smite doesnt feel leaguestart viable :/ Edit: I tried making a Version with cheaper/more accessible gear, sadly i still have to fix tankiness PoB: [

The idea is: freezing everything on screen is a defensive layer, probably very good in the Sanctum Frost Blades is getting a huge increase to added damage % so let's try to build around it. Ailments don't care about resistances on hit and whatnot, just base damage, so high added damage is good. Heatshiver gives up to 130% added cold damage as fire if we can freeze things. Hence Expedition's End for %as more damage freezes and Southbound + freeze duration stacking. This all means we can inflict 1 second freeze on Pinnacle bosses with attacks. Crit ailments medium cluster jewels also share an ai

- Config, currently need a way to get intimidate (awakened gems) - Berserk is not ticked (adds about 30% more dmg) - Single cluster uses ruthless and mastery to proc intimidate - Molten shell is not ticked, but will be active most of the time

Hi All, Inspired by Phreak's spreadsheet breakdown today, I decided to look into a Shield Crush Glad. I looked at POB Ninja's first week of gladiator builds and put a few ideas together and optimized the tree a bit to get the following result: I'll probably be league starting this until I know what the best build is for Sanctum farming. This is a fairly standard Crit Glad build that should crush maps and have enough dps to get through t16s and the first set of bosses comfortably. Why Glad over Slayer? Glad has QOL(10% less damag

Fazer duelista, split steel e bleed warbanner, onslaught, ancestral totem NM

I was looking into a way of building smite this league since Vaal Smite looks like it could be fun I've been thinking a bit of how to scale smite and came up with the following: Core mechanics : Aura stacking-lite champ for armor/evasion stacking Perseverance shenanigans Convert all of Smite's lightning damage to cold damage via double Call of the Brotherhood Capitalize on Heatshiver to add 130% of that cold damage as extra fire damage top it off with Paradoxica to make any added flat lightning damage doueble dip and then into cold and then fire as we

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

Introduction Hello there, PinguinTorpedo here with my take on a melee ignite build in 3.20. There was a lot of discussion that melee builds in general are in really bad spot. Especially ignite builds with the removal of the Divine Inferno jewel. I came up with an Ice Crash Ignite Elementalist that should be pumping 5.1m to 26m in a mapping environment, 9m to 17m against standard bosses and arounnd 2.4m to 4.2m Uber dps with 4s ignite uptime. The damage range exisits because of the interaction of the key items. In the Damage Output section i will go in detaill about the dama

TLDR: Frozen Legion possibly (i.e. not confirmed or hinted at by anyone at GGG AFAIK) scales similarly to Shockwave, gaining CDR and EAD please please please remember to cross-check when gem information is dropped and do not take this as gospel - it is hypothetical although at least an educated guess It's a decent 6th link for average attack speed builds It might be mainable if your weapon is exceptionally slow, but Heatshiver is likely the most straightforward way to scale it for now. 4 sample builds to get your own theorycrafting started, although those

So, I was looking at the new vaal cleave, and thinking to myself. "Hmmm, it looks like it would be REALLY good with the replica wings of entropy now. In theory it works wonderfully, considering you get to dip into the 2h passives, axe passives, and dual wielding passives. But I suck at PoB and usually its hard to meet the build that I made, so please guys/gals, I need some help lmao, Tell me what I can do to make this better. \Edit: I have taken some feedback and boosted my defenses a little bit, gave myself more life, took

PoB: Wave 30 Sim (both bosses): My favourite build in PoE at the moment, I see no reason why it wouldn't be good for next league, so thought I'd share. This build has carried my potato ass all the way to a no-carry 40/40 4/7 ubers. Should be good for 3.20, even better actually with some of the mastery changes. Pros 4/7 Uber viable (can farm Sirus, Maven, Eater, Venarius) Wave 30 Sim viable (double wave 30 boss pretty trivial) Farms witnessed conq/feared

So just with uniques equipped it seems I can reliably reach 300k dps with poacher's mark, but that's NOT including periodic Impaler procs (extremely cheap way to add damage), Phase Run for the vaal skill, ancestral totem buffs, corrosion removing enemy dodge/armor... and the 20 second 60% more damage buff you get from culling a rare/unique. Looks good to me for a noob league start build idk. I've done Cleave in the past with stuff like Actum and Blitz charges and it was decent. Seems like an acceptable mapping build now, I'll probably try focusing Blight.
