PoE builds similar to PoE 3.15: Explosive Concoction - Is it Good?

When Frostferno was in the game, EC had a 5.5 link with +8 gems that was highly possible to use. You would take Avatar of Fire, get a double corrupted Frostferno and now you had a cool non traditional setup. It was reasonable to use sapphire at least due to cold to fire on Frostferno. Frostferno is gone now though. After a lot of PoB work, I am of the strong opinion that EC is better off without Sapphire/Topaz flasks. This, imho, basically makes it a broken gem. 1) It takes solid investment to get the flasks to be useable over a longer period. If you go pathfinder, you have very little sy

start frost blades or steel, rush precise tech and grab sword nodes if strike mastery isn't enough for clear try swapping multi for anc call level in swap: 3 wild strikes, vaal ice shot, ice shot, frost blades. wild strikes vendor for combat focus with 20 qual and the others are back up builds after clever thief it takes 11 points to switch to claws try to run: grace, hoi, war banner, lvl 1 precision after grabbing mana mastery: hatred instead of hoi after reservation shield, use saved mana for preci lvls and vitality if capped acc just buy highest pdps claw within budget with open suffix

WARNING: THIS BUILD IS MOST LIKELY BAIT but I'm stupid so I'm trying it, if you want good Heatshiver melee then Frost Blades Trickster is probably what you actually want. SC TRADE WARNING: I am 100% six portal pilled and this is not hc viable and probably not ssf friendly either It should be obvious to everyone, but beyond wild strike being in a bad spot for scaling it's in a worse spot to level with. I will be suffering because I like leveling with the skill I want to run. I'll be maybe leveling frost blades until wild strike feels competent, no I will not test this before league start. W

I know what you are thinking... another trigger all the skills build but I thought this setup was cool so I wanted to share. If you want to avoid reading a giant wall of text Here is a link to the character on the ladder and here is a link to the PoB. Take the dps listed with a major grain of salt because it doesn't count for triggerbots and it thinks my CoC spells are all triggering around once a second. Als

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

Current Omni trinity POB: Hi folks; I've been having fun farming deli mirrors w/Harbinger on strand and melting Lyrica, starting to get some currency and playtime again but not sure how to further grow this character. I know rearranging the tree a little for accuracy and a different timeless jewel w/double damage is there but after that (if it's even worth)... I worked hard for that bow that cost 58 div at the time haha. Is it true the only thing to do next with a build/character like this is start trying to make/buy a phys bow f

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

DPS is wildly innacurate but to get an idea of dps it should be about 7.5 triggers of ice spear and the other skill per second. Or you can just set the Ice Spear and other skill count to about 9-10 to see how much damage a single attack with shards would deal but that happens over more than a second. Two hander version change the item set to Two hander, tree to Two Hander, Skills enable two hander and disable the default LS CoC, disable tempest shield and precision and enable Grace
