PoE Brutality builds

With the Impale mechanic being applied by the main attack and 100% hit chance, would it be viable for Impales to be consumed by a CoC spell in addition to your attacks and scale generic phys damage for both? What do you think? Here's a mockup: Note I cannot add Dread Banner or Shattering Steel yet.

Big Disclaimer: I am not trying to create an actual end game character. I already have something planned for serious Shaper/Uber Elder clearing. Also forgive me if I make any glaring mistakes in general for Bow builds, it's not really my strong point when making builds. &x200B; Hey all, I noticed the new Unique Bow coming with Betrayal called The Crimson Storm. Got me thinking of a fun way to use it since I barely play Bow characters and wanted to play one. Didn't want to take the typical ele conversion method of using Bow skills, so I decided to go pure Physical. The theory i

Hi, i have always loved puncture. However it has been a dead skill for ages now. I attempted to create a puncture build in path of building though. Anyway, i was wondering if anyone can tell me if it would have enough DPS? I was also hoping for any suggestions to improve the build? Oh and please no, "just don't play puncture", post. haha Here is the POB: I have tried a puncture in past league. They didn't work though. However, i feel like this new tree might be playable. Let me know what you guys think. The POB has the t

Build: I used a level 19 Storm Call linked to trap to represent the hits from a level 20 Lightning Spire Trap, and I used a 22 Bladefall to represent Seismic Trap.

Lighting Spire: Each hit does about 58,000 damage. With 110% increased cast speed, the trap will generate three strikes about every 0.14s (0.3 base divided by 1+1.10 cast speed). So the trap will generate 3 strikes 7 times per second. W

Purely theorycrafting at this point, I am fairly new to the game, but have a few hours in. I know there are a lot of zerk builds out there, and probably a lot of health/armor builds out there. I am looking to try something new, on paper looks pretty good except the damage numbers. Any thoughts are appreciated. POB:

I started PoE in the middle of Legacy. I followed guides for a pizza stix build and a firestorm elementalist and had a blast. For Harbinger, I followed a SRS guide and fell into the BaronSRS trap, but eventually scraped enough currency together for that overpriced helm. This char is now 92 and doing quite well. Leveling 90+ is quite the grind but still fun for me. I wanted to make another char for lab farming and didn't require a bunch of $$$ and I found this Bleed Sunder Gladiator guide: I like it because I dont need any 6L, the damage se
