PoE Smite, Melee builds

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: [

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

This is a non-optimmized PoB regading the following build guide: (I'm looking for feedback for this guide! So if you happen to take a shot, please let me know how your experience was (you can find a link to a reddit post at the bottom of the Google Doc)

Hey Guys, two or three days ago i got a little bit bored about this league. All day doing 5way carry and earn currency and no goal were to spent it. So i tested about 4 or 5 builds to have some fun Accuracy Stacking Spark Venom Gyre Jug but none of those builds was able to satisfy me. So I looked into poe ninja and tft about some new fun and found and interesting Frost Blades build. FROST BLADES ARMOURSTACKING. I remembered my last Frost Blades build and my feelings were like YES lets build it. So here we are. I would love to have some feedback about how i created the build or even some sugge

Uber Sirus: Afk Simulacurm Wave 30 (have to rerecord this for 3.19 but nothing changed for build except +1k more ES now): I have to go sleep but will record solo delve 4000+ and Uber Eater of Worlds and Uber Exarch as well and Uber Maven if someone wants to see Maven as well. PoB:

I am tempted to league start with this and hate my life. Probably will have to level as something else (brands?) and heist until I get Lethal Pride and my other core items. PoB is not fully complete, damage is a little bloated (even though it shouldn't be too hard to have uptime on it) and the build is not THAT budget friendly, but God damn it if I won't try to make it work anyways. MAYBE it will surprise me. I got the idea from a comment from someone on this subreddit (I can't recall who it was but I'll credit you if you want) and I tried to make it work in th

Upgrade amulet to one with crit multi/flat lightning damage and life. Can upgrade cluster jewels to ones with additional affixes.

POB: This Char is utilizing Oblivion Barb - Synthesized Fancy Foil, the Dexstacking Explody Sword I crafted a couple days ago and was mainly meant to work around it. I am still working on the Character, I was testing around with Replica Farruls that I borrowed from my Flicker Raider, it gives a lot of tankyness. Level is still quite low so 2 extra frenzies could be added. Also +1 or +2 rings, %dex rings or intimidate ring could add lots of damage. This Character is mainly made to make "Oblivion Barb - Synthesized Fancy Foil"

POB: POE ninja: Brief writeup: With 100% Phys to elemental, 188% recoup and 88% all resistances and capped chaos resistance this boneshatter build is really tanky and won't die to anything unless its an absolute one shot. With 188% recoup and petrified blood, the setup basically allows for boneshatter to go above 150+ stacks although my current attack speed and duration for the
