    Path of Exile Builds [3.8] HoWA Cobra Lash Deadeye


    [3.8] HoWA Cobra Lash Deadeye

    Posted: 12 Sep 2019 12:52 AM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    I've been theorycrafting various ways to make a HoWA build ever since I saw Cobra Lash. For those who don't know, HoWA stands for Hand of Wisdom and Action, a unique claw that scales lightning damage with Intelligence and attack speed with Dexterity. Cobra Lash is a skill that chains up to +5 times by default, which means the primary target takes 50% more damage via the Deadeye Ascendancy node Ricochet. Unlike Assassin builds, we mainly focus on scaling the added elemental damage.

    Offensively, our stats are:

    • 537k Shaper DPS without flasks, 750k with.

    • Two projectiles that each chain.

    In terms of defenses, we are looking at:

    • 8k Energy Shield

    • 32k Evasion (50k with Flask)

    • 80% Elemental Resistances

    The question is, how can we make this build even better?

    Here's the PoB: Pastebin

    [Blight] Indigon + Enduring Mana Flask can give you 1500+ Life & Mana "overleeched" per second

    Need a build with fast clear speed..

    Posted: 12 Sep 2019 04:54 AM PDT

    I started with ancestral warchief scion. It's fun, hard hitting and I dont have an issue with content. It's just slow as all get out, and I am getting bored with it.

    So i have 120c and probably 20 to 30c in other currency. So what sort of builds can I try that are going to fit my budget? Thanks for any help!

    Arc/LW Poets Pen Indigon Pathfinder. Need help with build since it's the first one I made

    Posted: 12 Sep 2019 12:51 AM PDT

    After seeing the video about the infinite life and mana regen working with indigon, I decided to try to make Arc/LW Poets Pens happen again since it was my favorite build of Delve League. However, I don't really have much experience with making builds in PoB so I know there's a lot to do to fix this.

    Note: The way this build is made is as a poor person with a warlords mark ring. You could sub out the ring with a cheapie defensive ring and put a curse on hit - Warlords Mark for Endurance Charges linked to frenzy.

    Please, if you can look over the build and give some criticism that would be awesome.

    Edit: I don't know how to properly tick Indigons damage in the configurations

    Assassin cobra lash (or vg) daggers vs claws.

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 07:08 PM PDT

    Anyone with currency and refund points that have tried both? Playing it myself, watching mathils stream and any cobralash stream/yt I can find I can't really find a consensus.

    Claw clearspeed suffers imho, especially noticeable on legion encounters. Would swapping to daggers and getting a bino make the build better? Also can we really get the ST damage to scale well enough (without swapping out GMP) because even on well equipped streamers/youtubers I see them spending several seconds on yellows and even blues at times which should preferably explode in an instant.

    a build to make my friend's eyes bleed

    Posted: 12 Sep 2019 01:56 AM PDT

    I'm planning a magma orb miner as deadeye building around gloomfang and sire of shards.

    For leveling I'd just skip all the mine stuff and go with LA

    Would appreciate feedback about my tree, sorry for the long link and messy format - I'm on mobile =/

    Minions build transiting to Popcorn(Minion Instability) builds

    Posted: 12 Sep 2019 01:29 AM PDT

    Right now I'm using generic minions with just rares with the following setup.

    6L Skele

    4L Spectre (slave driver)

    4L Carrion Golem (with +1 golem on the tree)

    3L Zombies (for meatshield as tank)

    Utilities (Skitterbots, Hatred, Flame Dash, Desecrate, Flesh Offering)

    I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to switch to a popcorn build since it seems kinda fun.

    Would it be better to switch to 6L popcorn skele or 6L popcorn SRS? And I guess if I'm switching to popcorn, I should drop hatred, and drop maybe the golems for something to trigger EE and curses? I also have Tavukai and Earendel's Embrace to use with these builds.

    I just got a mirror at 270 hrs, what fun builds can I afford?

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 02:12 PM PDT

    In blight league btw.

    I am looking for some flashy but strong builds, do you guys know some that I could try?

    I am going to wait until the exchange rate between mirror and exalts becomes nicer, and then I will probably buy a headhunter first. so im not sure what my remaining budget will be exactly.

    Help With Understanding Additional Curses

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 11:10 PM PDT

    Hi! I'm running a HH build using Shackles of the Wretched (corrupted with Elemental Weakness on Hit) and Solstice Vigil. It's a self curse setup I'm trying. I was under the impression I would need an additional curse amulet to be able to use temporal chains and EW, but I'm noticing that I'm still proccing Temp Chains often enough with Herald of Thunder. Is this intended? I can't apply both curses on a mob at the same time, but I'm still getting the temp chains to come into effect while essentially get a free elemental weakness. Is this a design oversight? It's insanely broken if so. I can't tell if there's a decrease to my HH buffs because the last expansion removed the timer from the UI.

    Help needed, Assassin / Cobra Lash

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 10:47 PM PDT

    Hello

    I need help to get my character get stronger to survive atlest first tier maps well. I'm now running 1-3 tier magic maps but i frequently struggle even on those. DPS is ok as i most of the time manage to kill mobs rather fast. Yesterday i tried to get max resistances and more life but it didn't feel to be enough.

    Current build here. Yesterday added CWDT + Steelskin to try mitigate damage. I still feel so squishy

    https://pastebin.com/YZcW9uwq

    Current budget around 100c. What should be improved next?

    Edit: Yesterday i got The Empalmer gloves and was thinking if i should be using those.

    Minion instability srs + what friends?

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 01:08 PM PDT

    I'm planning a minion instability srs build with tavukai and infernal legion. i plan on having probably zombies and spectres. I plan to also use femurs of the saints to get regen and a nice 6link +2 minion gems setup for the spectres.

    If you were planning a build what do you think would be the best spectres and what auras would you run?

    What Are the Standout Minion Builds for Blight?

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 03:50 PM PDT

    I have tons of time playing minion builds in the past but haven't dabbled around in Blight yet.

    Why are some necros allocating Avatar of Fire?

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 10:12 AM PDT

    Really new to summoner, currently playing Slave Driver spectre/Skele/Zombie necro. I am wondering as to why some players are allocating Avatar of Fire on the tree? Is it to make Spectres do fire damage?

    Any good caster/spell builds?

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 04:35 PM PDT

    Currently playing cobra lash assassin and want to bang my face into a wall over the slowness of clear (Which I could probably rectify by switching from claws to dagger and going bino's for poison proliferation).

    Honestly coming from cospri cyclone last league and generally playing builds that go "Cast something, pack/screen explodes, zoom zoom, hello boss, faceroll" I guess cobra lash wasn't quite my cup of tea.

    I would like to play some form of caster that fits my playstyle though. I've looked into mathil's shocknova which I always thought was really interesting but I feel it requires quite a bit of crafting luck/investment before it becomes "great", still very open for it though.

    So what caster (BV/WO is not caster, necro is not caster) builds would you suggest that clears like it was TS cousin, laughs at blight/legion (but probably not as strong) and does T16bosses/shaper/uber fast with the right investment(I honestly don't know what's considered good shaper DPS, 3mill? 5mill? 8 mill?).

    Mathil's shock nova?

    Ice nova (ugh)?

    Storm brand?

    Orb of storms (requires lightning spire traps for st/bossing and I'm not a HUGE trap fan but if it's only required for endmap bosses I'm okay with it)?

    Fireball/ignite builds?

    Some snazzy bowbuild (Lightning arrow/elemental hit or just take it up the ass and go TS).

    Cobra lash/venom gyre elemental proliferation build?

    Bonuspoints for a build that is a breeze to level as I'm allergic to leveling.

    Thanks in advance, have a great evening!

    Looking for Advice for Soulwrest

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 09:29 AM PDT

    I just rerolled a witch after getting a Soulwrest in Blight (currently in Act 3 atm, haven't ascended yet). I'm having trouble deciding exactly how to build around it, and I was hoping to get some advice. Right now I'm torn between going Elementalist and stacking effect of buffs granted by Carrion Golems for tons of extra pure physical damage or just going Necromancer for generic buffs. (Occultist was also an option, especially with the new gloves, but getting pure cold or chaos conversion from all green or white sockets would be fairly difficult, so I've pretty much ruled that out.)

    Necromancer seems better defensively, but also seems more reliant on auras, which sound like they're part of the performance problems in Blight. I was hoping a pure physical Elementalist using only Pride would have better performance, but it might not make a significant difference either way once you get so many minions.

    If anyone has any experience or advice, I'd love to hear it.

    Best bossing summoner build?

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 12:17 PM PDT

    I'm looking to play a necro summoner and ice miner as my next two builds. I've played SG spectres and HoAG before, looking for a great boss killer summoning build. I'd rather not play HoAG again but spectres are fun.

    In the past I've heard skeletons & zombies are strong as well as ice golems. Do they still hold up?

    New player build suggestions

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 04:31 PM PDT

    Hey everybody, I'm brand new to this game and looking for a couple suggestions on characters/builds to try. I have a ground slam marauder that I've gotten up to act 4 with, but I'm curious about giving something that's not melee a try. Basically looking for some suggestions on builds that are fun and would be good for a new player to try to be able to get a better idea of what different play styles in this gen are like.

    Gonna attempt my first level 100 this league - Need advice and build recommendations.

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 12:00 PM PDT

    Hi Exiles

    I do play the game quite alot 6h+ a day, but I'm an altoholic by heart, and i really do have trouble staying with just one character. I started the league without a specific goal (except for playing gsf with some friends) and thus have already created a few (5) characters and gotten them through the story. I recently needed new motivation to keep playing, and figured i would like to try and reach max level in Softcore (or atleast 95 for starters).

    My current builds in mind are: FB ignite trickster/elementalist, Worb something, totem heiro (might be too slow?), Frostblades Raider/assa, Arc Elementalist. stormbrand inquis/assa

    This list is by no means ultimate, simply the few builds i've dabbled with in PoB or seen on youtube/twitch.

    The builds i have previously gotten furthest with are below - i would prefer something similar but not exactly the same. I truly enjoy being a speedy boy, but my skills are not top tier, and therefore i often end up either sacrificing speed for ehp or slowing down to avoid dying.

    BV - both cheiftan and elementalist
    Scourge arrow trickster
    Cold/dot occultist
    EK inquis
    Freezing pulse assasin
    Cyclone Slayer
    KB Raider
    Bane occultist

    Any recommendation for my first level 100 attemp?

    Beeing decent with the league mechanic would be a plus but not a requirement. I would prefer to stay away from the necro/general summons. I don't mind totems though.
    10 ex is my current max investment, i don't mind if the build doesn't reach full potential until a much higher budget, aslong as it's not missing build enabling unique's.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Stuck with Carrion golems build

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 11:51 AM PDT

    https://pastebin.com/LzDw0BdR

    The idea is to have 5 carrion golems, and 5 elemental golems rampage through a map as I run around and loot, of course.

    Currently have 10 golems, can cut back one or two

    ~100k dps per carrion golem, but PoB doesn't calculate elementalist or jewel golem damage correctly.

    I would like to get 20%~ less mana reserved so I can run 2 curses

    The yellow gear on the page is negligible, just for stats. Build is around 5ex right now.

    Also want to run these gloves, for full phys damage conversion, but PoB isn't calculating it right either.

    Seems like it's too simple of a build, and I'm missing something obvious. Maybe timeless jewels, a good annointed node, different Carrion support gems, crafted shield+necrotic aegis?

    Theorycrafting an off-meta Slayer

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 02:59 PM PDT

    Goal: Abuse Badge of the Brotherhood & Masterful Form combo. Power charge max = frenzy charge max = endurance charge max.

    Building 9 power charges gives us 9 frenzy and end also. As well, with new anointed gear, you can easily take Infused/Instability/Overcharge without needing to path to the top-side of the tree, if we use 3 anointed pieces.

    Some combinations I think would be good with this strategy: Using 2x Void Batteries, and Surgebinders. With Surgebinders and a physical spell, you can get 7% inc damage per charge (we have like 27+ charges so this would be insane)

    Another option would be Malachai's Loop + Tulfall or a melee weapon. Having 9 power charges with Badge = 90% effect of Elusive, so if we use a dagger/claw we can Nightblade support and become even TANKIER.

    Final option (I think worst option) is just a Staff with +1 Power Charges.

    I think this has some potential to be very strong both offensively and defensively, but not sure I have the time to play it!

    Im looking to make a build to support a spectre summoner with solar guards. It seems like there are 3 good options but not sure what will help the most. So should i use a curse bot occultist, aura bot scion, or a hybrid curse aura occultist?
