PoE Hardcore, Ruthless builds

Halo

Video guide is at twitch.tv/phazeplays if you have any questions === Since Duelist is very far away from minion nodes on the tree, I'd recommend NOT leveling this as minions even with twink gear (unless you know exactly what you're doing) Leveling this may be rough for inexperienced players due to quite a few gem/skill swaps ================================ ======= Leveling / Boneshatter ====== ================================ == Bandits == Softcore: Kill all Hardcore with currency and twink gear: Kill al

LEVELING -------------------------------------------------------- Marauder leveling is pain. Clear is fine before the boneshatter swap, single target sucks. After you make the swap to boneshatter it's smooth. 1-12 main links: ground slam - ruthless. There isn't really a good third link. You can consider muling momentum from ranger but if you're going to mule you might as well mule splitting steel because it's better. Alternatively - mule splitting steel - chance to bleed from duelist and level with splitting steel - chance to bleed - maim. This is mo

Introduction. The intention behind this post, is to mostly make a guide for players with some experience that wish to dabble into build making, As such this post is not just about the build itself, but also about the process behind why I made the decisions behind it, to also help those that are somewhat scared to make builds. If you just want to pob and the tldr, there will be one at the end of this post. Also, two things to keep in mind, I am not an experienced build maker, in fact this is my first time even doing an actually serious build guide, and second, I'm not an english native so I

Hello, i feel like it isn't really being mentioned anywhere, but in ruthless, since you most likely won't have a 6 link, or good ways of scaling damage, the easiest way to scale damage is to just use many different skills. The premise here is that on non bosses you just fire trap and maybe curse a rare here or there, and on bosses where you struggle, you are unloading your whole kit. Here is the POB: Lvl 98 with 2-3 mod gear, no 5 link, the mods affixes and bases are not tier 1, usually tier 2-4 (except the weapon). Should be overcapped for curses, 600k boss
