PoE Siphoning Trap builds

The idea is to convert all of Phys/Lightning/Cold to take as Fire using the following Dawnbreaker (needs to be rolled to 20% cold/Light, Phys 15% at least) Tempered by War (50% for Cold/Lightning) Sublime Vision with PoF (30% for Cold/Lightning) Cloak of Flames 40% (Lightning coil will brick this, because taking as lightning will kill us) Helmet with 15+% Phys taken as Fire Lethal Pride with 10+% Phys taken as Fire Watchers Eye PoF for 10% Phys taken as Fire ES/Arm Mastery for 10% Phys taken as Chaos. (We pick up CI so this

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for anyone trying to incorporate any of this into a real build and failing miserably! Unless that person is me... I have: Tried to include most of the obvious sources of cooldown recovery from the tree and items, at their maximum value. Tried to include all relevant gems that have cooldowns (excluding most reservation gems. Tried to colour code skill groups and item groups to make it easier to find what you're interested in. Tried to generalize as much as possible. Most gems are sitting at level 20 or 21 and only have quality if it relates to coold

Has anyone made a serious Link build so far? Because I haven't seen any and I think it's a cool idea in general. I 'd love to try one, although I don't have any people to play it with. Still, I decided to make a Link build of my own and see what people think of it and who knows, maybe some time in the future I'll be able to play it. I went with Guardian because it's the best multiplayer class and Soul Link seemed like the best Link skill choice to supplement the team, given the choice of ascendancy. The build gives a whole lot of tankiness to the whole team, while not leaving offense out of t

I know I know, yet another seis trap/exsanguinate build. But, I haven't seen any ascendants using this! This build uses aegis aurora, iron reflexes (60k armour), 100% spell suppression, molten shell on lmb and life gain on trap trigger along with mini-pf 4% life gained per flask use (should be approx 20% life regained every 2-3 hits) for defences. From my experience with PFPC this league with lower armour, I found that AA alone was ridiculous for sustain. Ignite immunity from flask, shock immunity from tempest shield, and pantheon freeze immunity and poison/chill mitigation. Enduring compo

So, since Reap AND Minefield Support are getting pretty big buffs. I realized that I'd give it a try. and 3.17 is a prime league for Mines since both the league mechanic and the expansion mechanic is about bossing, and gives opportunities for pre laying. reasons for picking Reap: 1. since the spellcast buffs get better the more levels you stack, I figured since double CIPs already give 6 levels, this is the easiest way to circumvent the nerfs to high impact mine support and come out ahead in terms of damage 2. minefield is getting buffs(it's gonna get 14% more Throwing speed than before basi

Took some of my gear from my Spec Helix Inquisitor and respec'd my Seismic Trap Sabo into Blade Trap and it's actually not bad. Clears T16 fine and so far I've killed some Shaper and Elder Guardians and a 10 boss Maven Invitation without problem. This build obviously isn't as strong as Exsang/Seismic trap but it's still endgame viable. It's also way slower and less tanky than the Inquisitor so I'll be transferring the gear back shortly lol Build stats: 4.8k life, 2.8k ES 100k avg damage blade trap with cluster traps (no idea what dps that is) 93/53 spell supp

With the changes to monsters HPs, our damage reduction and survivability, I think it's time to dust off my Bodyswap chieftain. I cannibalized this one from an obscure 3.1 and 3.9 builds, where the first one was truthful, the other had half the damage boosted in typical POB warrior, fashion and was crit based, and brought it to the modern age of 3.15. --- POB Settings: Shaper, no bullshit damage multipliers Flask off, (except MS-old one). Vaal auras off RF OFF (can be probably turned on). Vaal RF Off Hexproof (curse off) --- Skills: Wave of convict

I've been trying to narrow down my league starter for Heist the past couple of days. Somewhere along the line, I decided I want to do a cold DoT Occultist, more specifically a Wintertide Brand Occultist (SC-trade). I have a few reasons (that may or may not be valid, politely let me know). Full reasoning summaries below, but TLDR: I think cold DoT Occultists will survive nerfing and might even be buffed by new Hexes. Wintertide brand also feels safe from nerfing, is non-meta, and there is always Vortex to fall back on. I may or may not be able to take advantage of new Hexes more easily. Al
