Ventrua had put out a poison BV occultist for league start but I also like to play Assassin and it's more point efficient (though potentially still worse than Occultist), so I thought I'd share my work. All of these PoBs are built on top of Ventrua's PoB. These builds will focus on incorporating alternatives to Profane Bloom as a priority. Level as PConc, poison traps, or I can recommend cobra lash + tornado if you know what to do with league starting claw/daggers. League Start Target lvl 88 Obliteration setup: Post Start Target

Raider gives you: - A lot of movement speed - Spell Suppression - Easy damage (Frenzy charges and -20% exposure) - Phasing - Ailment immunity - Lots of evasion Spectral Helix gives you: - Big circle AOE and Pierce all enemies with 0 investment - Huge scaling from added damage (250%) The PoB has an early tree that already gets to 1.2million DPS with a 2 mod claw, WITH 1 SPECTRAL HELIX, people will usually consider that one cast can hit bosses 2-3 times depending on boss size The PoB is also super conservative, no scorch/brittle, no intimidate, no shock

I've been PoB warrior'ing for awhile and I think I've settled on my league starter. Main criteria was melee, strong overall build (mapping + bossing), and tanky as possible. Was thinking boneshatter slayer, but I avoided it for a couple of reasons; Vaal Pact annoys me and Slayer needs it to be acceptably tanky, and Slayer is kind of bad at bossing without very high investment. That being said, I love the Boneshatter Playstyle, and as a long time HC player I have a special place in my heart for Juggernaut. Juggernaut also deals with trauma stacks very very well. After review, Jugg has very

PoB containing two alternate trees for an Absolution Guardian starter, for SSFHC. (Can be adopted to your league) (Two different trees) Burden of Truth can be switched until obtained. Might make a comphrensive minions ( Absolution and others) guide on here later.

Above is a rough day 1 plan for my LS Trickster. I'm going the full armor/ev route because it's easier to get eHP early on, especially vs phys damage, and it also allows me to grab 13 different masteries that synergize with the build. I know Heartstopper is a controversial node, but I feel like it will smooth out the damage I'm taking, even if I don't always notice it or run into some bad rng. Any advice? I realize Champion does armor/ev LS better probably, but I'm really looking forward to trying out Trickster.
